of 246 hours and 43 minutes. and
then. later in the same month, Dale
Jackson and Forest O'Brine, in the

COMPLEXION CHARGE IRES

no mon have better complexions than women, even if the fair sex uses cosmetics? That is the question heinz asked by many women of Britain following the surprise they received when Dr. R. M, B. Mac konna honorary dermatologist Of Liverpool Stanley hospital, in a re- cent number of the British Medical Journal sounded warning against the use of certain cosmetics. He said; Tho present trend of fash ion seems 10 be that a woman con- SIders she is looking her best if her skin isscovered with translucent layer of greasy substance If the teachers in girls boarding schools would prohibit the use of cosmetics wo would he able 10 produce a race CT women whose complexions were as good as those Of men. but al present the possibility of this eventu- allty seems very remote"

Further Statues Must Be FiDan-
 Ced by Former Soldiers

Paris. Aug 5o GP1-Narshal Jacques Cesare Joffre. vlctor Of the onrushIng Germans at the Marne, river, refuses 10 have another statue erected in his honor unless It is financed by the soldiers hc formerly commanded. A limit of one franc apiece. approximately 1 cents is tho Inaximum which any eX-servlceman can contribute
 For some time there has been agitation for constrICtlon O. a monument to the saviour Of the Narne at Rivesattes. in the depart ment of the Oriental Pyrenees. where the marshal was born 7S years ago.
 NJ, Rene Nannaut. under secretary Of the interior. was charged to ask Marshal Joffre's permission for erection of the statue in his home town. The old marshal smiled grimly and told the government agent he would consent only on the condition that every cent Of the money b. collected by voluntary subscription from the Ssoldiers he commanded. He set the limit Of each contribution al franc.
 His terms were accepted and al- ready contributions Of one franc are pouring in from every province in France and from many corners Of the world, because the marshal included the allied soldiers in his stipulations
 The monument is now being. eXe7 cuted by the famous French artist Maillard. and it is expected if will be dedicated before the end of the year.

the brain of Deputy Comptroller William Wendt. Wendt, at all events, had a large share in the in- ception of the plan.
 Milwaukees freedom from bond ed debt will come through the operation of the amortization fund, established in 1923 after one of the bitterest fights ever staged in the Common Council.
 At that time the city's finances were ailing. Interest charges paid on bonds for street construction and other improvements were mount ing at an alarming rate. A 2O-year bond would be issued to pay for paving a street; long before it was retired other bonds would have to be issued for repairs to that same street-all bearing interest at four per cent or more.
 ting direct tax for street im- proyement costs. Taxes went up the first year. but contractors were paid in cash instead of tax anticipa- ton warrants, and property own CTS were permitted to fund their payments over a period of years at six per cent interest.
 It was this interest that devel- oped into the amortization fund. By 1923 it amounted to about S250,000 a year: and Mir. Wendt's epoch making proposal was simply that instead of being turnsS~into the regular city funds it be set aside as a savings account. not to be touched until the interest that it was earning should be sufficient to take care of all necessary work.
 The plan was fought by business interests, and supported by the Socialists. After a bitter fight it was adopted-and today no one has a word to say against it.
 So the amortization fund was set up. based on these annual interest payments from property owners. The law provided that the city in addition could turn over 10 it one

third of the interest on any other city funds, that the Common Coun- eli could donate other money to it and that publc-spirited citizens could contribute to it if they wished.
 To date the.city has turned over S2,224, 900 in interest earnings to the fund which sum. in turn. has earned s40200O in interest itself. Citizens have donated s2S3. which las earned sS5 in interest Thus the fund today totals s2,627O00; and this. in turn, is invested in city bonds, thus preventing ss115,ooo in annual interest on the bonds from going to outside bondholders
 The fund is to remain untouched until it equals three-fourths of the citys entire bonded debt now s40,OO0,O0O Then three-fourths of it's interest earnings may be used to pay outstanding obligations, to assume a new bond issue or to finance some improvement and avoid the need of a bond issue.
 Will Pay All Bonds
 Then, when the total equals the tctal bonded debt. the entire sum can be withdrawn and used to pay all outstanding city obligations.
 In reality the city will be free from debt long before that time. When the fund reaches the three fourths status it's interest earnings will more than equal any permitted bond levy Thus while the taxpay- CTS will still be paying interest on the bonds, all of that interest will be going right back into the city treasury.

CELEBRATE ORIGIN
 0F SUNDAY SCHOOL
Groups Observe Anniversary of
 Experiment in 17S0

Nev York. Aug. so (P> - Found ing of the worlds first Sunday school, among the dirty, rowdy raga- mullins of an English factory town by Robert Raikes, British editor. in 17S0 is being celebrated this year ~by religious organizations every where.
 In 15o years the Sunday school idea has grown from the handful of robellious street gamins gathered in q kitchen in Sooty Alley Gloucester Eng, until it embraces a world en- rollment Of 37oS3.662.
 The United States alone has 21,- 03S,526 people in it's Sunday schools. of whom 2.167S4S are teachers and officers, Nearly half the Amer ican population under 19 years of age, or Al per cent attends Sunday school. Kansas leads with 66, per cent. while Arizona and Montana are tied for last place with 223.
 Sunday schools have improved in technique as they have grown in size.
 Children now learn the Bible and is lessons through plays which they ct themselves, stories. hand work, draWing, del-making and costum- ng, explains Dr. Harrison S. Elliot head of the department of religious ducation al Union Theological Sem nary.
 The modern Sunday school recog- Jizcs its possibility to the pupils Ieryday experience, he points out.
 II deals with such matters as nhoosing a life work, questions Of conduct and character that crop up Il the child's everyday life.
 Raikes founded his first Sunday school for the children of the poor and criminal classes because he had found it difficult 10 reform adult criminals.
 Al first his experiment was oppos- cd both by the Church of England and the government. A bill for the suppression Of his school was intro- duced in parliament.
 Through his newspaper, the Glou- cester Journal, RaIkes eventually won support for it

OCEAN ANPH|BIAN
 UNDERGOES TESTS
Giant 22-SeateT Air Liner May
 Open New Flying Era

London. Aug. 3a UP)-A giant -2-seater air liner that can change it's sea boots" or floats for wheels In few minutes has just been successfully tested al Roches- fer. England. and is expected to open a new era in airplane mo- bilitE.
 It IS designed for use by the Im- periaI AIrHays on the new route that will be opened in -93l be- tween Cairo and Cape Town where part Of the line is seaplano route and part Of it land plane.
 This new type ot machine which IS a monoplane is known as tn. "Ealarta'" and IS the largest float seaplana in the world It is driven by three radiai air-cooled engines Of 300 horsepower each. As a sea plane it will have a cruising speed Of 14o miles an hour and as q land plane a cruising speed Of 15J miles an hour.
 Its use. as -at present contem- plated, is that the NaIetta will leave Cairo as 2 seapiane and fv up the NIle and across the Central African lakes. where al the last lake there will ba erected sea- plane port and land-plane aero drome combined. Here a derricl, will lift the fuselage and wings Of the machine from its float and swing them over and place them on tho landing gear ot q land plano. Thus the conversion Of the sca- plane into land plane is bu, matter Of tightening q few boI,, n q few m'nuto's time From this point the VaIetta will continue it's journey to the Cape as Ian4 plane
 It is claimed that the vaIat-a opens q new field Of servicea biII-v m air route transportation and is the first one or a type that is likely 70 be widely follow ed by air con- panies operating over what ar. known as mixed routes
 In addition to it's novel arranea- ments for the rapid exchange or floats for wheels or yice-versa if l.. claimed that the Taletta IS the fastest passenger plane of Us sea- Ing capacity in existence.
