take. in the opinion of Doris Lee

beauty expert. ''they would be
taught in the grade school how
to care for their complications,
just as they are instructed how
to care for their teeth. II girls
aim to graduate with beauty and
would keep that charming, dewy
freshness that is usually the heri.
tage of youth, I would prevail upon
them to learn and practice daily
one necessity, possibly two. The
one essential and important thing
is cleanliness, and the second
either nourishment In the form of
a good skin-food or, when that is
not employed or thought neces-
sary, a good protection lotion that
will keep the skin soft and fine in
teture even after exposure to sun
and wind.
For the normal skin let me
suggest that it can be cleansed
thoroughly with warm water and
soap, especially when the water is
soft and the soap Is a good COM
plexion soap: yet this type of skin
can be further cleanse by the ad-
dition ofscleansins cream. When
you have found to your satisfac-
ton that additional dirt can be
removed from the skin even after
it Is washed with warm water and
soap, let me suggest that you try
applying the cream first to soften
and Intricate the skin, patting it
In until the blood comes to the
surface, and then wash it off with
warm water and soap. Two or
three times q week after the thor.
ough cleansing, apply good nour.
ishing cream. Pat It in until the
face is In glow, and allow some
of it to remain on the skin ever
night. In the morning remove It
with a pad of absorbent cotton
saturated with a mild skin tonic"

Sharkey danced after Str-iblfne as the Southerner stepped around him menacingly. Jack forced Strib to lead, but the best Strib could do was light tap to the ribs. Shar- key began to solve Strips style as he stepped in with whipping right uppercut, that smacked loud ly. A full swing, left hook, caught Strib in the pit of the stomach. cutting down his speed. Another left hook cut Strips lips and he was splitting blood at the bell.

 Sharkey was full of confidence now and began to weave and feint with his head, shooting lefts to Strips head as they roamed around the ring. Jack pulled his lighter foe into close quarters, burying both fists into Strips body. Strib- ling rushed Sharkey and wearily threw him through the ropes.

SIXTH ROUND

During the interval, the referee warned Sharkey's handlers against coaching from the corner. Jack bounced out and missed half a dog en shots at Strips body As he missed another, Stribling lashed left hook to the chin. Strib's long reach bothered Sharkey, but he danced in close and drew blood from Strips nose with short lefts. Again they were warned, as Shar- key bowled into Strips body with punches shading, the belt line. Strib banged left into Jacks face but ran into a two-fisted storm as the furious Sailor retahated with charge that drove Strib all the way around. the ring. The bell ended the rally.
 SEVENTH ROUND
 The fight was anything but sen- sational. as the boxers measured each other carefully. Strib threw another long right into Jacks chin but drew a referees warning again for a left hook that seemed to have landed fairly on Sharkey's body. They opened up for moment, with a brisk exchange, but Strib had Sharkey missing constantly. and blocked many of the Sailors body blows as signs and boos began to drift down into the ring from the s5 seats. Strib bounced a right again off Jacks chin. but took a bad bruising as the heavier and more powerful Sailor cuffed him viciously with both hands. Despite the brief exchange the boos were growing louder when the gong rang.
 EIGHTH BOUND
 The bouncing babies went back to left jabbfng at long range. De- spite cat calls, both seemed to have a tremendous professional respect for each other. carefully parrying each others blows. There was a brief furry along the ropes. but Sharkey missed half a dozen lefts as they broke into the open again. Jack tried to pummel Strips body but the Georgian danced away. They closed and Referee Magnolia warned Strib to stay above the belt. There was less and less ac- tion as the round dragged itself out.
 NINTH ROUND
 Sharkey tried hard to get in close and when he stung strib with solid right to the body. Strb fought back with a volley that pitched Jack against the ropes. They were wrestling around the ring in a light embrace. and as they broke Strib smashed a beauti- ful left hook and right to Jacks chin.

 SECOND ROUND
 Sharkey bounced from his cor ner and got to close quarters amid storm of Stribling's overland rights.
