STARTLING FACT ABOUT COMPILATIONS
 IS NOW EXPOSED
So Much Has Been Said and Yet So Little Real Help Given to Women, That It Is No Wonder Their Com pIexion Troubles Have Never Before Been
 Solved

Tn the summer time 60 per cent of the people lack the proper amount of the Natural Oils, which the skin must have to keep it clear. smooth and lovely. be- cause the harshness of summer winds and weather use up more than the amount of these oils which the system can supply. That is the reason 1t is so trying and exasperating to keep your complexion smooth and lovely in the summer time. especially, unless you do like the thou sands of girls and women who have found that by using the famous Black and White Beauty Creations, they are sure to keep that girly complexion no matter what happens.
 The way they do is to thoroughly clean all powder. and accumulated dirt from the skin with Black and White Cleansing Cream before going to sleep then after cleaning this cream off they rub film of the Cold Cream over the skin. which is absorbed during the night.
 Then in the morning all you have to do Is to protect the skin for the day by using first the Peroxide Cream before you put on your face powder. and it will keep your face looking smooth and natural without having to put on more powder every few minutes.

 Election Still Recourse.
 President McLendon Monday after noon said the incident was closed as far as the city is concerned. for the municipality cannot anticipate any further action by the jitney inter ests, though further action by them may be contemplated. Of course, he said, an initiative election can be called at any time on the subject if the proper procedure is carried out. expressed the desire for a public election on the subject, but the time having paossed for 6 referendum election with the expiration of the 60-day limit, and the burden of op- position not being with the city au- thorities, an initiative movement Is the only course left to bring the mat ter under consideration for action by the general public.
 Reports have reached the city au- thorities from time to time of the compiling of a sufficient number of voters signatures to call an initiative election, and copies of q counter or dinance have been seen, but no off cial action has been registered, so far, at the city hall.
