Two projects of the Board of Public Works have been turned down today by FERA officials. One project, according to Claude E. Shover, street commissioner, would have provided for widening of Pickwick-pl. Barnes-av and Golden Hill-dr in Golden Hill while the second project would have placed a driveway along the norm bank of the Canal from Broadway to Carrollton-av. Work in both instances would have required FERA labor. Federal officials contended the work would have required cuts into private property and were not of sufficient public benefit.

I have a little story for you. Os course you know that one must provide against the noise of the propeller and motor exhausts in an open cockpit ship by stuffing one's ears with cotton . . . and even this isn't sufficient protection if an open plane is constantly used. Well, two young naval aviators itl.o were depending upon little balls of dampened cotton to save their ears, were fearful that this method wasn't quite good enough. Fina’ly, one of them got an idea. -Come with me,” he ordered his companion. A short walk brought them to a drug store. “In here," said the inventor of ideas . . . And in they went. The leading pilot headed for the cosmetic counter . . . but he stopped short when he saw two or three attractive young women at the counter, rhe two young flyers shifted hesitantly from one foot to the other while the fair customers ahead of them bought lipstick, rouge and powder. All the while the “Inventor of Ideas" was growing more embarrassed. and his companion more puzzled. Finally the young women were served and departed. Then there was another girl to sac clerk. •Do you wish something?" she asked the first pilot.

‘ Yes.” he replied in a subdued voice. * What is it?” asked the clerk. And then as one about to do something desperate, the young man braced himself, drew a deep breath and—looking fiercely at the clerk—called in an unnecessarily loud tone. “I want a pair of your biggest powder puffs, please!" The exit of the flying men from the drug store resembled an attempt to get off the ground. But . . . thus came the powder puff to aviation. QUESTION—What is the theory of the ornithopter and why hasn't it been developed like the helicopter? The ornithopter is modeled after a bird, depending upon flapping wings to give it lifting power. Models have flown with bird-like wings but in building large machines the problems of mechanical construction are yet too difficult.

EX-ARMY MAN ADMITS KILLING WOMAN, GIRL Deft Detective Work Solves Baffling Slaying in New York. By L nited Prrg* NEW YORK. April 2.—A double murder so deftly executed police failed to recognize the crime until an autopsy revealed the two women victims had been criminally assaulted, was solved today by equally deft detective work. An ex-Army many of 14 years service confessed killing his 68-year-old mother-in-law and her granddaughter. 18, in their home Sunday night. His statement lacked full details, but he did not deny acts he said he could not remember committing. The victims were Mrs. Nora Kelly and Miss Florence McVey ' . w The confession was made by Thomas McFarland, 39. Hours before he was taken into custody detectives knew he had been in the aged woman’s home at the approximate hour of the double murder. They concealed this fact and to lull McFarland's suspicion rounded up other relatives of the victims for questioning. After four hours of questioning, McFarland told of going to the home of Mrs. Kelly about 8 o’clock Sunday night. He said he had a bottle of sherry wine and his drinking led to a quarrel. “Mrs. Kelly and I were in the

kitchen," the confession said. ‘‘Florence was lying on the couch in the parlor. Mrs. Kelly raised a chair. She was going to strike me with it. Everything went black before me. I have a faint recollection of choking her. “I remember that the girl started for the kitchen. She said, ‘See what you have done.’ Mrs. Kelly had fallen when I choked her. There was a knife on the kitchen table. I was afraid the girl was making for that knife. I knew that she knew what I had done, so I grabbed her and choked her until she was unconscious. I carried her back to the living room. She was senseless tnen. I went back to the kitchen and carried Mrs. Kelly down to the cellar.” Mrs. Kelly’s bdoy was found AVOID UGLY PIMPLES Does a pimply face embarrass you? Get a package of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clet. after you have taken the tablets a few nights, if you are like thousands of others. Help cleanse the bowels with Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; there’s no sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. Thousands who take Olive Tablets are never cursed with a “dark brown taste,” a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good” feeling, dull complexion caused by constipation. Olivo Tablets are a purely vegetable compound; known by their olive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with constipation and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result.
