DEATH OF BABE. Florence, the five-months-old child f Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ohlson. 241 Hick-
J'ory street, died Sunday morning. The j funeral was held yesterday afternoon i from the residence w.th burial at Oak i Hill cemetery.
Farm" were filmed In a quiet little town in th California hill not fr from San Francisco where a very active Liberty bond campaign was being carried on. Four days before the tub. acriptlons were to close it wan found the committee was some eleven mill! n dollars behind In its allotment. A consultation wa held and one of the mem.
II bers happened to recollect that Miss Plckford wag at work not far f.-im there. They motored to the liitij town, tput the cause before her that they
must sell eleven million dollars' worth of bonds, and that she was the uw attraction that would bring tl.e people
itog-ethe.r to hoar thtiir arguments us ' to why they shotill buy a bond.
Miss Pickford consented and after finishing; her day. Jumped into her automobile and drove to the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Fifteen tnousand people were massed into thu building to see Mary Pickford. it wa expected that Miss Pickford wnuid do nothing but -walk upon the stage, make a little bow and wave the American flag: at them, but this was not the trd-i of her program. The clever artist stepped behind the footlights and began an emphatic talk as to why people should buy Liberty bonds. At the conclusion of her talk she was cheered for fifteen minutes, and Mayor Rolph spoke of her as "the
(.little girl who weighs a hundred
pounds and has bought a tnoueand dol-
jla-s worth of bonds for each pound."
il.sa Pickford retui'neu to her work on "Rebecca" and the announcement was made two days later that Sir. irancisco's allotment had been entirely taken up.

The world owes thanks to the genius in Cincinnati who discovered freezone, the new ether drug. Small bottles of the magic fluid can now be had at any drug store for a few cents. You simply apply a few drops of this freeione upon a tender, aching corn or a hardened callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you v ill find the corn or callus so loose and shriveled that you lift it off with the msers. IS'ot a bit of pain or sofenes
is felt when applying freezone or after
wards. It doesn't even irritate the skin or flesh. For a few cents one can now get rid of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of feet. Everyone who tries freezone becomes an enthusiast because it really doesn't hurt or pain one particle. Tell your druggist you want a Rmall bottle of genuine freezone. Each bottle is packed in a little round wood case.
Don't accept anything else. Adv.
Smell Mothballs? Tang o Frost Brings Out Old Overcoats An atmosphere of mothballs was distinctly noticeable yesterday, owing to hasty and untimely resurrection of the winter overcoat to protect the forms of citiiens against the chill blasts that romped up and down the streets. With a minimum temperature of 40 degrees which prevailed at 7 In the evening and with a maximum of only i0. janitors in apartment houses and office buildings were forced
to respond to the plaintive appeals of
tenants to turn on the steam. And another sign of the cold weather was that those, summer fur neck pieces had disappeared probably to wait until the thermometer registers 90 or so. Today tha flowers droop in Harrison park. The United States Weather Bureau early in the afternoon sent out frost warnings and last night many a rose bush and flower shrub, many a patriotic garden, showed ghostly In the dim light swathed in old. quilts, blankets, gunny-sacks and the like. The park benches full to running over such a short time ago were deserted, and the popcorn man at the corner hovered close to his own fire. There was a notabla falling off in the sale of ice cream sodas, and manv a pel-

CLAYTON AT THE ORPHEUM
T7 ? iV-;-V : t f - v- , "
Psychical experts are probably the most skeptical of all scientists. It is practically an Impossibility to make these hard-beaded professors accept anything that they have not tested. So when tt realized that Clayton, the "White Mahatma," who will appear at the Xew Orpheum for three days, comimencing Wednesday, has stood all the most rigorous tests of psychical experts in both this country and in Europe, his marvelous power will not be doubted. He has been admitted by the experts to have been the only man who has ever successfully passed the tests they have placed before him. He answer from eighty to one hundred questions each pes forr. :h tv e. H has the proud record of having nnswered every question, no matter on what subject, ever asked him. Clayton does not depend upon stage effects or on confederates to aid him. He has no mystic cabinets, no magic nand, no spirit control. He comes down into the audience end passes through the aisles, not only to prove that there is no collusion, hut to get into better touch, with his subjects. In every city he ha visited Clayton has left a host of friends. Ry his marvelous .psychic power, lie has aided thousands to health, wealth, and domestic happiness. His power is not his own, howeie. for it is n heritage from his grandfather, a Hindo Yogi of note, supplemented by years of study of the psychic phenomena in the universities of Kurope and the Orient. He is th' neer of nil phchic marvels, for no ether at present before the public possesses his wonderful power in such p maiked degree.
AMERICAN CAPT.'S TALK ON DRINK CURES SERGEANT By J. W. rEOLEK (United Pres. Staff Correapondeat.) AMERICAN KIKLD HEADQUARTERS. FRANCE. Aug. 21 ( Hy mail). The sergeant had been drinking. It is against the regulations, and especially arainst the spirit of the new American army for a soldier and a sergeant, of all soldiers to get drunk. So when the sergeant awakened he knew he faced a storm. Hut the morning routine in camp passed as usual. There wasn't a word of reproof. If the captain knew, he wasn't letting on. At noon-tirre the captain hurried through his lunch and walked over to where his boys were sitting eating. The sergeant knew the worst was about to happen. Without a word to the non-com the captain called on all men of more than one year's experience to withdraw 100 yards. I want to have a little talk with the recruits." he said. "A nen-commissicned officer, who knows better, came in drunk last night. He has ben In the army for a long time. I've always told you to observe the older men and follow their example but you've got to use your man's senae in the army. "You're all getting more money than you reasonably need over here. I can't dictate what you are going to do with' it. "But I hope you'll not go and blot up
a lot of drinks. Every day I get letters from your mothers and sisters and the girl who is waiting for you back in the I, ft. A., asking me to see that you don't go wrong in the army. I'm bound in honor to reply to all those letters and tell the truth about drunkenness for example." Since that talk the company hasn't had even a mild case of "jingle". The sergeant is still a sergeant. When he walked up to the captain the night after his: fall to ask for another chence. the captain merely held up his hand and said: "Not a word. Sergeant." The captain says the Bergeant will never drink again.

TWIN CITY SCHOOL 8I0S Hi mm too hp
The East Chicago board of education last night rejected all bids for the proposed industrial school building to be placed on the Washington building site. The architect had figured liberally on the estimated cost and had made allowance fo the increased cost of labor and materials end had placed his estimate at 51-5. Ortit for the building complete. This estimate was made this summer. The lowest bid received last night was $115.00" higher than the architect's estimate; or an increase of nearly 90 per cent over expectations. At the lowest hid price, the building complete would cost between $9i'.f.iNt and $100,000 more than the school city could bond for even with the increased valuation obtained at Ind anapolis. As a result, the contract was not let last night. The board promptly rejected all bids. Just what will be done in the light of this new development is at present problematical. The board' will meet tomorrow evening to discuss the matter. More room and added facilities to meet the increased and growing demands of the education of the boy and girls, the. young men and the young women of this city, are imperative and -nsistent.

Thb Times' fight to make Jefferson park. Oary, one for public use instead of being a play ground for the few who lived around the place has been successful, and last night the pirk board took s'eps to provide a public comfort station there. Without any public comfort station and with no effort being made to provide one the park was useless to the women nnd children who lived a few blocks, fivm it. It was. however, a One value booster for the homes of park officials who lived opposite it. The place virtually was a private playground for the few. Yielding to the pressure brought by The Times and backed by Commissioner Kate Wood Ray, the bonid last night decided to receive bids .on September 24 for the $10,000 comfort station. When this completed the park will be available to the people.

Carborundum Bombs Latest German Stunt (By United Press.) LONDON. Aug. 21 (By mail). Carborundum "bombs," are the latest dec!opment of German r letters' ingenuity for crippling the war effort of America. They were discovered in a recent German bomb haul in Christiana, Norway. Carborundum is a manufactured composition resembling a sharpening stone but is harder than almost any steel made today. American army officers believe it was the German plan to have these carborundum "bombs." disguised in chewing tobacco and cigars, slipped into the axle
cups of troop and supply trains and into
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is th ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifler. Jusl try it!
