Parachute Drops i
(Special to the Star.)
FAYETTEVILLE. July 4—Thousands !
of persons from Fayetteville, Cumber- j
land county and all the section sur
rounding, thronged Fort Bragg today |
to take in the celebration with which j
the military folks observed the national i
Independence day. Innumerable auto
mobiles brought the people from far
and wide and the Cape Fear Railways,
with added equipment, hauled them to
the post all day.
An excellent program they wit
nessed, too. Perhaps the chief event
of the day was the annual Fourth of
July baseball name between the Fifth
and Seventeenth field artillery team*,
when the bir crown saw the athletes
of the Fifth triumph over their tra
ditional rivals by a 5 to 2 score.
The afternoon was also featured by
a polo game between the Red and Blue
teams, which was won by the Reds, 19
to 12. The Reds were given a handi
cap of twelve goals and the Reds, ten.
The morning hours were consumed
by a track and field meet in whioh the
beet athletes of the various organiza
tions of the post competed. Another
attraction which elicited the admira
tion of the thousands of visitors was
the parachute drops from a oaptive
balloon by members of the balloon de
tachment. At one time three of the
airmen in rapid succession made the
daring leap from the big sausage.
A marathon race was run by soldier
athletes from Fayetteville to the War
Department theatre at the post, a diS
tanoe of nine and a half' miles. The
winner represented the seoond field
artillery. A band concert was given by
the fifth field artillery band at 3:20.

To Ward Off Summer
Complexion Ills!
To keep the face smooth, white and i
beautiful all summer, there’s nothing i
quite so £ood as ordinary mercolized
wax. Dfscolored or freckled skin, so
common at this season, is gently, grad
ually absorbed by the wax and replaced
by the newer, fresher skin beneath.
The face exh’bits no trace of the wax
which is applied at bedtime and.washed
off mornings. Greasy creams, powders
and rouges, on the other hand, are apt i
to appear more conspicuous than usual \
these clays of excessive perspiration.
Just get an ounce of mercolized>wax at
any drug store and use it like cold
oream. This will help any skin at once
and in a week or so the complexion wHl
look remarkably clear, young and
healthy.—adv.
