OIL TANK FIRES PREVENTED New System of Control Adopted by Large Operating Company. BAKERSFIELD. Cal., Aug. 2. Fires that occur In the great oil storage reservoirs on the "tank farms" of the Kern river oil fields, near here, will be smothered by a new system of fire control adopted by one of the largest operating companies in California- Used in the new fire fighting plan is a liquid effervescent chemical ex tremely opposed to fire. It is formed by mixing two separate fluids. These when merged are spreal as a seething, foaming mass upon the surface of the burning oil and exhaustive tests are said to have shown that this will very quickly extinguish the fiercest oil tank fire. The big containers for the fluid are connected with the various oil tanks so that in case of fire it is only neces sary to turn on the main valve merg ing the fluids and the valve leading to the particular tank involved. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been lost in fires in oil storage reservoirs. The "tank farms" are com prised of idle land on which are located scores of concrete reservoirs each with a capacity of 5000 barrels or more of oil. The petroleum, when ignited In one tank, frequently will boll over and small rivers of flame set or. fire oil in nearby reservoirs. The "farms' have been the scenes of many costly and spectacular fires. RECORD FAIR IS PROMISED South-west Washing-ton Officials Ad dress Centralia Chamber. CEMTRALIA. Wash., Aug. 2. (Spe cial.)

I -NW -- " f 1 " i '--- ' - 1 St f Ii ?f st--- i MISS ETHEL CLA1TOX. New Tork Miss Ethel Clayton, the clever young- actress now successfully starring under the Paramount banner. Is famous for her beautiful complexion. When her friends inquired about it ehe said: "It's all due to a toilet prepara tion called derwillo which I use twice daily. The experience I have had prompts me to make my secret public. This wonderful derwillo instantly beautified my skin and its continued use has made the results permanent." When Mae Edna Wilder, the well known beauty specialist, was inter viewed in reference to Miss Clayton's remarkable complexion stated: "Anyone can have a beautiful complexion when they know how. It's a very simple process. I use the same article in my work, and until you try It you have no idea of the marvelous results. The very first application will astonish you. Go to the toilet counter of any drus r de partment store and pet a bottle of der willo, then make the following: test: Examine your skin critically before your mirror, note carefully its appear ance, then apply derwillo as directed. After you have made the first applica tion look in your mirror agrain and note to s;irpriinir -chdntre. A pe;tt-h-like color mount," t lie che.-ks; a baby soft ness . come .to Lhe skin; it .makes the skin rosy-white, velvety and radiantly beautiful. It is wonderful for a dark, sallow skin, shiny nose, freckles, tan, oily skin, sun spots, coarse pores, pim ples, blackheads, chapped, rough skin, ruddiness, wrinkles and many other facial blemishes. Derwillo method is absolutely harmless and will not pro duce or stimulate a growth of hair. It is superior to face powder, as perspira tion does not affect it; therefore it stays on better. Thousands who have used it have had the same results as Miss Clay ton, and I am sure if you will give it a fair trial you will become just as en thusiastic as I am and always use it in S reference to any other powder or eautifier." NOTE When asked about Derwillo one of our leading druggists said: "It is truly a wonderful beaut if ier. away ahead of anything we have ever sold before. We are authorized by the manufacturers to refund the money to anyone who is dissatisfied, -and we would not permit the use of our name unless the product possessed unusual merit." It is sold in this city under an iron-clad money-back guarantee by all department stores and up-to-date drug gists, including the Owl Drug Stores. Adv.
