RICKENBACHER, SPEED KING, STARTED LIFE

(By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 29. Sixteen years ago In a small tombstone works here, a gangling youth ot 15 wrestled with mallet and chisel, learning the art of monument making, physically on the Job, mentally behind the steer ing wheel of a racing automobile. That was the first job Captain Edward V. Rickenbacher. American ace of aces in the World "War, ever held in his life. He was getting $6 a we'ek. Later he gladly accented a job in a garage. It payed $4 a week. Wanted to Drive Racer. Rickenbacher was born in a little frame cottage close to the Columbus . Driving Park. From the days when he was big enough to peer through the fence, the track fascinated him. When automobile racing 6tarted, the Driving Tark was his mecca. His crowning ambition was to drive a racing automoBile. He reached his goal when he was 18 years of age. At that time, he was sent to Texas by a local automobile concern, in whose factory he had been working, to demonstrate its speedsters. From then on, his career was metoric: He become on of the best automobile racers in the country. Rickenbacher entered the world war as chauffeur to General Pershing. His rise to American ace of aces was as sensational as the jump from the obscurity of his Columbus home to the highest pinnacles of racing fame. Rickenbacher became a part of the A. E. F. after a series of rebuffs. When the United States entered the war, he was in England, buying racing cars. He immediately returned to this country and offered his services. He tried to get governmental sanction to a plan of his to enlist a flying squadron from among racing drivers of the country. tut army officials turned the proffer down. Gains Place In Aviation. A few weeks later Rickenbacher-was on his way overseas as chauffeur to General Pershing. A short time after arriving abroad, he was in an aviation training camp placed there through the personal intervention of General Pershing. Rickenbacher bagged his first Ger man early in 1918. Within a month he had won the Croix de Guerre, and despite his delayed entrance into avia-

Many a girl is brilliant and interestinu without being popular simply because she seems to lack personal charm. A good complexion would make this same girl really pretty and as much admired as more beautiful girl friends. For every woman passes as pretty if only her skin is fresh, smooth and young. It is within the power of every woman to possess this attraction to make her complexion as beautiful as she longs for it to be. The secret? Cleopatra knew and practiced it in the days of ancient Egypt Today we use her favorite cosmetics and follow her method. What your skin needs If you knew the delicate structure of the skin and the important work it has to do you would realize what conscientious care it needs. The tiny pores and cells must be kept active, or dangerous sluggishness soon results. Accumulations of oil, perspiration combined with dirt, clog the skin and blackheads and blemishes result. Powder, cold cream or rouge may help conceal this condition, but a thorough cleansing every day is the only cure. It will start your skin to work again and help it do its own beautifying. Smoothness and a charming natural color will soon reward you. Volume and efficiency produce 25-cent quality for

E. V. Rickenbacher tion, he was the second American to be given the title of ace. At this juncture, he met with an accident that nearly ended his career as a flyer. His ear drums wero split as the result of a 6,000-foot fall which came after a single-handed fight against three German planes. The tip of one of the wings of the plane Rickenbacher was piloting was carried away by a hostile Fokker, and he plunged to earth. He was pronounced incapacitated for further service. Carries Case to Pershing The former racing driver refused to be put out of the running, and carried his case direct to General Pershing. The latter ruled that he still might fight. When he became a captain, Rickenbacher commanded the famous Hat-in-the-Ring Squadron. His victories continued to pile up, one after the other, until he was acclaimed American ace of aces. Many of the medals and cups won and conferred upon Rickenbacher duri ing his career, are packed carefully

away in the little frame cottage here,; but there are four things Mrs. Elizabeth Rickenbacher, his mother, values more than anything else. They are: A piece of marble chiseled in the shape of a book, and bearing the inscription "Holy Bible." A small wooden chest. Holds Racing Trophy A silver cup, embossed with gold, the championship trophy won by Rickenbacher in a bitter contest at Sioux City. Ia., in July. 1914, when he drove a Duesenburg car to victory in a 300mile race on a gumbo dirt track. A citation from the French government, accompanying the award of the Croix de Guerre. Rickenbacher chiseled the marble book in his monument-making apprentice days. The wooden chest is a memento of a short time spent in the shops of a railroad here. His mother values them as symbolic of the steps in her son's life. RICHMOND RESIDENTS ARRIVE IN BERLIN Miss Emma Messing, of Indianapo lis, who sailed in July for Berlin, where she is an attache of the American commission, in a letter telling of her experiences, says: "Mr. and Mrs. Homer Morris of Richmond, and Mrs. Agnes Knollenberg, also of Richmond, were passengers on the Manchuria. Mr. Morris is to have charge of the American Friends" service commission, and he and Mrs. Morris will no doubt remain in Berlin for a year.

UGGY, TURNS OVER u A horse was killed, a new automobile wrecked, a buggy smashed and six persons narrowly escaped death when an automobile collided with a horse-drawn vehicle at the foot of Scyamore hill Saturday afternoon. The horse was torn loose from the shafts of the surrey and thrown some distance while the car turned over, rolling down the embankment. Mrs. Lipscomb stated that as the surrey turned to enter the road leading to the farm, the horse slipped on the paving, the driver of the car set his brakes, skidding the wheels for some distance, but was unable to avoid the collision. The car was coming from the east, the surrey from the west. R. M. Lewis, living at the Y. M. C. A., who was driving the car, which belonged to George Klein of the Grand Hotel, was not seriously injured. Lewis threw George Salles, a 14-year-old boy who was returning with him from Dayton, free of the car just before it overturned. Leonard Booth, a stranger who had been picked up this side of Eaton for a ride, was the most seriously injured, suffering a wrenched back, cuts and bruises. The surrey was driven by William Lipscomb, living a mile north of the Sycamore hill. He was accompanied by Mrs. Lipscomb and 10-year-old son. Rollo, who were sitting in the back seat. Mr. Upscomb was thrown out of the vehicle skinning his knee. Booth and Lewis were taken to the Reid Memorial hospital, but were able SOAP The universal toilet Soap.

The cleansers she used were the same you may have today, palm and olive oils. For these beautifying oils are scientifically blended in famous Palmolive Soap. They give it mildness, wonderful soothing qualities, profuse, creamy and refreshing lather. Cleansing with Palmolive is a beauty treatment in itself with no danger of roughness or irritation. No woman should say her skin is too sensitive to uje soap, until she tries Palmolive.

Marshall, ex-vice president of the United States, protests against the mixing of religion and politics, in an article which, as a Presbyterian elder, he contributes to the forthcoming September issue of the Presbyterian New Era Magazine. . He holds it to be a difficult thing to be a Christian, either Catholic or Protestant, and a man's job to be an American citizen, and says it is a weakening thing to try to unite the two under either church or civil rule. He adds that the Kins dom of God ought to be within us, not in Washington. He objects to congress being memorialized by de nominations, and protests that individual church members should express themselves politically as citizens, not in a sectarian way.
