Is to be publicly demonstrated Ever since the first railroad was bull' and operated In the United Statee this problem haa arisen, and notwIthstandV rig that numerous attempts have been made to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposition that two trains moving In opposite directions can pass on the same track, every attempt, voluntary or Involuntary, has resulted In disaster. All spectacular exhibitions witnessed heretoflre should pale into utter lnslirnlfl cance on lAbor Lay when the two elKhty ton locomotives, their swirling pyramids steam singing a strident song, come to sether in one stupendous crashing climax of htealna; vapor surrounded by bursting bandVt of burnished etel. This magnifi cent spoctacJe, which will be the climax to the big afternoon's proirram. which f tarts at t o'clock, should dwarf any other attempt at entertainment on this great labor holiday, and those who view the mighty monsters of the rail tearing to ward each other like twin whirlwinds of Irresistible rower, will never forget that Intense moment. In the rapidly approaching spectacle this factor Is eliminated; there will be 110 sud Ion shock to hurl men and women Into eternity, but the realism, the ex press speed, the roaring steam, the fires spread under boilers that quiver with pentwnp power will all b there. The thrill VlU be In evidence, but the element of danger will be absent. Seldom has the pleasure seeker been permitted to view such an awful catas trophe as a head-on railroad wreck Colonel J. 8. Connolly, bj expert rail way engineer and surveyor. Is the origin ator of the head-on collision and will per sonally sifpervlse the construction of the exhibition track at the speedway. The track will be constructed across the cen ter of the paddock, directly north of the dirt trak. In front of the grandstand. New eighty-pound steel rails will be laid on as fine a roadbed as It is possible to build, so that the engines, which attain a great speed, will have a smooth running, mak ing the big bump realistic in every par ticular. Never before has such a reallstio exhi bition been arranged In Nebraska, never before In the history of things theatrical here have two such mtjrhty monsters been sent crashing to total destruction. The great machines will be started on the same track at a distance sufficient to per mit great momentum whn they crash together In front of the grandstand. Details ar being formulated which will tnolwde a full afternoon's program of events and excursions on all railroads to carry the great crowds within a radios of U mile) of Omaha, who will take advant age of this once In a lifetime opportunity of witnessing a railroad collision. TODAY'S BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS FaCO powder almnlv rnvrs nn an unattractive complexion and leave no latins benefits. Those who have tried a simple spurmax face lotion find It much better, as It removes tV'n discoloration, Buch as freeze ?- ! tan. and makes the skin snvviMi, white and velvety. This lotion i-, made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax in one half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls (tlycerln. This complexion beautlfler does not rub off or show like powder, and (fives a more refined appearance. It re moves both shlnlness and sallow ness, rapidly giving the skin a per manent healthy, jjouthful appear ance. An especially fine shampoo for this weather can be had at trifling expense by dissolving a teaspoon ful of canthrox In a cup of hot water. Pour slowly on scalp and massage briskly. This creates a soothing, cooling lather that dis solves and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on a glossy richness of natural color, also a flufflness which makes It seem verv much heavier than It Is.
