Never fail to have a perfectly

And take some kind of bath every
single day of your blessed young
life-sponge, or tub or hot or cold.
II hot, don't lie in it idly for more
than two minutes. splash around and
begin to scrub just as YOU do in an
awfully cold one. The healthieSt
bath is to get into a tub hit warmer
than lukewarm and then while you're
Scrubbing. let the hot water run in
until it's quite hot. then pop up and
take shower or if you haven't that
cash cold water on chest and back
and arms. and, of course, on the face.
If YOU have n shiny nose or fore
head or both and the rest of your
skin is all right, ii means usually that
YOU are not properly eliminating
waste. Drink more water and emf n
big dish of prepared bran every
morning for breakfast; you'll begin
to like it after while. And eat
fruit. And less sweets.

Hold Hope Lieut..
Wada's Plane Be
Repaired i'm Time

WASHINGTON, Aug. A slight nope
was held tonight in war department
circles that the trio of American
around the world fiiers might yet pe
able to complete their circumnaVlsa-
ton of the globe as unit, despite
the mishap yesterday to the bos-
ton" piloted by Lieutenant Leigh
Wade.
Initial dispatches describing the
wreckinc of the Boston We're inter
pretcd as having put Lieutenant
Wade definitely out of the flight nut
later advises that his machine was
being taken to Reykiavik, Iceland,
was accepted as evidence that a more
careful survey indicated the poslhli-
itv of repairs which would enable
that ship to join those of Commander
Lowell H. Smith and Lieutenant Elk
Nelson.
A repair depot, complete in every
detail. has been established at the
Icelandic capital, against Just such
an accident as that which betel tne
Boston. Not only have spare parts
been placed there for the engines nut
complete sets added of specially de =,
signed pontoons, wings. rudders and
controls used in the Douglas tyne of
airplane which make up the night
group.
AS a result army officers declared
that "if the fuselage of the Boston
is sound, she can he rebuilt at Key
kiavik." It will only be necessary
thew said, that the body of the plane
with its internal struts ana braces
are available to the repair force 1or
the Boston" to be placed in commits
sion in As hours.
Suggestions were made that Lieu
tenant Wade be issued one of the on =
servation planes carried by the curl
sers patroling the route or That
snare plane be shipped at once from
this side. but both proposals were re-
iected by the army air service after
careful consideration. Too much
time would be consumed in. sending
a new plane. it was decided, and the
navy tvpe was unsuited because Oh
it's limited radius of operation. The
navy plane is capable OF covering
only $50 to $40 miles without refuel-
ing. There remains at least one mop
of 500 miles in the final lap and army
officials decided the factor of safety
was too small to permit the attempt.
The extent to which interest in the
world fight is being maintained was
indicated by numerous messages
both telephone and Geographic. 10
the war department touay seehIuS III
formation as to Lieutenant Wade's
mishap, his chances of continuing
and proffering various suggestions
for his assistance.
Citizens of Boston telegraphed
President Coolidge urging that ev-
erything be done to enable Lieuten-
ant Wade to complete the flight and
this request was sent to the war de-
partment from the White House. IT
embodied the suggestion that a new
plane he made available by the de-
partment indicated that it's decision
would not be reconsidered, least so
far as the transatlantic section was
to be effected. Whether an extra
plane from Langley Field might be
made available when the f1iers reach
this side was a question still unde-
cided tonight.
