 Among those who purchased boxes and entertained parties at the ben fit were Mrs. Efrem Zimbalist and Walter Damrosch.

The newest discovery in beauty
culture is that cremed magnesia
quickly restores oily skin to normal
instantly, in the same easy way
that milk of magnesia purifies the
stomach. This is because an oily
skin is an acid skin. Doctors treat
acid inside the body with milk of

gists get such amazing results in
banishing oily skin with cremed
magnesia. All you do is anoint your
skin with it, massage and rinse with
water. It's as simple as washing

L|NDbERGH STILL OUT WITH FLEET
Date Of Good Will Flight to Colombia Remains Uncertain

Panama City. Panama. Feb. P) Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was still with the United States feet out ,n the Bay of Panama this morning and no information was available ashor. when he would undertake the good will flight to Bogota. Colombia, an- nounced by the United States postal department in Washington last night.
 J. D. MacGregor. vice president of the Pan-American airways, said the colonel was expected to return today from the fleet. He has been a gues. aboard the airplsne carrier Sara toga and has been watching practice maneuvers of the navy aviation corps in connection with tactical re- hearsals by the fleet as whole. MacGregor said he had not heard of the proposed flight to Colombia and he remarked it was not part ot the original plans for Colonel Lind. bergh's trip here.
 The announcement by w. Irving Glover. assistant postmaster sener- al at Washington in charge of asia. ton. that Lindbergh would carry mails on his return flight from Pan anna to the United States. caused much activity in canal zone postal circles.
 The Panama government put sle- ciai stamps on sale this morning and there was | biz demand for them by those who wished to send missivcs tc the United States on machine piloted by the internationally famous aviator.

 STUDENTS ARE
 MOSTLY NATIVE
Most ol Students in Terri torial Schools Are Born
 in the Territory

Seventy per cent of the pupilg enrolled in the Territorial school system during the school year 1927-2S first saw the light of day in Alaska This fact was revealed as a result of birthplace census taken during the year under the direction of the cffice of the con- missioner of education. A simi- lar census taken in 191S-19 indi- cated that at that time but 57 per cent of the pupils were Alaska born. These and other interest ing facts are presented in an arti- cle appearing in the January issue of the Alaska School Bulletin, a monthly paper edited and publish ed by the Territorial department of education. The article follows:
 Ut is characteristic of every new country that it's inhabitants lock to some. other as the land of their birth. This is true Of Alaska and of it's white popu'at.on to very great extent. That conditions are rapidly changing and that Alaska soon will have a population native to her soil is indicated from the results of a birthplace census Of children enrolled in the schools of the Territory during the school year 1927-28. Reports were re- ceived from seventy-three schools representing an enrolment of 3.S95 pupils. or these, 70 per cent first saw the light of day in Alaska. The balance gave thiity-six of the forty-eight states and sixteen fore ign countries as the land of their nativity.
 "A similar census was taken in 191S-19. At that time but 57 per cent of the children enrolled in the schools were born in Alasba. The intervening period, therefore, has witnessed growth Of 13 per cent in the number of those claim ing Alaska as the land of their birth.
 'In 1927-2S, fifty-six per cent of the students enrolled in high schools were born in Alaska as compared With 35 per cent of those enrolled during the school year 191S-19. These figures offer rather convincing proof that Alaska has passed the pioneering stage of her development and that the Terri- tory is now a country of homes and firesides.
 That the smaller communities are the most distinctly Alaskan is indicated from the fact that 89 per cent of the school children are
