Remove Freekles
and All Blemishes

When the skin becomes disfgured by
freekles, tan, pimples other blem-
ishes. all beauty of the face is hidden.
To remove these skin defects 1t is best
to peel them off with pure mercolized
wax. Obtain an ounce at any drug store
or beauty counter and as directed.
The wax peels oft the thin outer skin,
gently but surely, removing the ugly
mask. With the removal of the outside
scale, the underlying skin is revealed
soft and smooth, clear and white, with
the rosy bloom of girlhood on the
cheeks Mercolised wax brings out the
hidden beauty.

DANE CASE REVIEW
REFUSED BY COURT
Promoters of Boxing Contests in D.
G. Can Be Punished Says
Decision.

By the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court refused today
to review the decision of the courts
Of the District holding in a case
against Frank Dane that promoters
of boxing contests in this city could
be punished under the criminal law.
Dane contended that the criminal
statute under which he was prose-
cuted was aimed at those who engaged
in pugilistic encounters, and insisted
that his indictment for aiding and
promoting the contest at which an
admission fee was charged must be
dismissed. He pointed out that he
was not charged with actually EN-
gaging" in the boxing encounter,
which he asserted had alone been
made punishable by law. The lower
courts, however. took the view that
those who promoted such contests
were liable to punishment under the
law.
Dane was convicted in the District
Supreme Court in May, 1926, and sem
fenced by Justice Stafford to serve
promoting a pugilistic encounter at
the Arcade in January, 1926. He
noted an appeal to the Court of APP
peals. but that tribunal affirmed the
conviction and sentence. Dane has
been at liberty on bail.
Five indictments were reported
against Dane, in which he was joined
as defendant with five pairs of con-
testants in the five bouts staged at
the Arcade on the night of the raid,
January II, 1926. Only one case went
to trial, and John Cody and Philip
Raymond, the boxers in that case,
were acquitted, but the jury held
Dane.

Seizure of Bootleg Airplanes Ends
Need of Funds to Increase y. S. Fleet

The Government has been confis.
eating so many bootleg airplanes that
no additional appropriations to ex-
pand this new and valuable arm Of
offense in the prohibition war will be
necessary. according to Assistant Sec
retary Of the Treasury Lowman.
Without disclosing the number Of
planes which have been seized, the
prohibition chief said that they were
operating on three Fronts, Canada,
Florida and Mexico.
Airplanes have been used to great
advantage. it was learned, in spotting
stills in unfrequented sections of the
country, and their operations have
been considered so satisfactory that
more planes were desired. The Gov
ernment, however, has been able to
capture planes used by rum runners

MORROW IS HAILED
BY MEXICAN PRESS
Hope of Healing Pending
Difficulties Seen as New
Ambassador Arrives.
By ssha Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, October 24.-The
arrival of Dwight w. Morrow, newly
appointed American Ambassador tc
Mexico. is hailed edtorially today in
both of the city's leading newspapers
which see in his designation an aus
picious chance for healing pending diff
ficulties between the two countries.
Excelsior finds a source of congrat.
ulation in the fact that Mr.. Morrow is
not a diplomat" because, it says
American diplomats in Mexico of late
years have not gained prominence for
their spirit of justice or their proper
understanding of Mexican affairs. The
paper declares that this condition had
become so pronounced that President
Coolidge finally decided to appoint a
trusted friend. thus implying that mat.
ters which might better be understood
in both countries are subject to revi.
sion.

Ell Universal expresses belief that in
appointing Mr.. Morrow President
Coolidge played his trump card 1t
group of North American heroes
who control the worlds finances, and
are the only ones admired in the
United States, but that Mexico finds
satisfaction in discussing her view.
point with prominent member of the
North American plutocracy, since, the
paper contends, the MeXico-American
dispute at bottom is nothing else but
a fundamental economic question, and
Mr.. Morrow is the most capable man
to deal with economic affairs.
Excelsior. however, touching this
same point, expresses the opinion
that Mr.. Morrow, besides being a
banker, is a statesman, which Is I'M
portant because at present some.
thing higher and more transcendental
than money matters Is at stake"
Latin American countries at present
offer the deepest and most complicated
problems for the United States be-
cause of the activities of American
financiers. the paper says.
Mexico Suspicion Intense.
Suspicion is especially intense in
Mexico, where it is believed that
Washington's policies have been con-
Trajectory, incoherent, wavering and
intended to foster constant conflict.
Mr.. Morrow's main task consequently,
Excelsior declares, will be to bring
about the conviction among MeXicans
that the United States does not intend
to dictate Mexican policies and to
dissipate the uneasiness of the Mexi-
can people. who fear that the United
States lis implacably destroying our
rights and our tranquility"
FL Universal, in contrast, stressing
the economic aspect, says that Mr..
Morrow has arrived under the best
auspices to fulfill mission of peace
and harmony since he is not profes-
sional politician. If Mexico follows
President Coolidge's example and
shows the pending controversies in
their true colors on an economic and
social plane where they belong in.
stead of on a judicial, political and
nationalist basis. the outcome will be
successful, the paper says.

The suit was filed after Mayor Du-
vail had declined to resign from the
Office he has held since January, 1926.
The action was brought by a group

practices act.
In addition to placing Duvall's pun
ishment at 80 days Imprisonment and
1000 fine, the jury ruled that he be
disbarred from holding public office
for four years from November 2, 1925
the date of the alleged violation of
the law. Under that finding, the at
torneys held. Duvall never has legally
been mayor of Indianapolis.
