The Star of Bethlehem may be seen
by early risers now on any cloudless
morning. Astronomers say that star
is visable at the present time for the
first time in 500 years and that it
will not be coming this way again
for the next 500 years and it's more
than probable that most people now
on earth will not be here then. The
star is visible in the east every
morning just at daybreak. 1t is very
bright and can be easily distinguish

AUTOISTS WANT
But FAIR PLAY

Matters Of great import TO local auto
Rlobilists were discussed at length last
hight al a meeting OF the Automobile
Elub Of Washington and steps were
taken 10 have these matters passed
hpon by the Commissioners.
President W. D. West was in the
shair and in the course OF his opening
remarks called attention TO the fact
that the club had repeatedly gone on
tecord as thoroughly in accord with all
just laws and regulations governing
motor vehicles, but the motorists OBJ
jected to being prosecuted Mr.. West
read an editorial that appeared recently
ia The Times under the caption rs the
Automobile Club on the Job2" This
editorial viii undoubtedly lead TO a
movement to compel all vehicles to
carry lights.
H. Chadwick Hunter then addressed
The meeting. saying in part: las an

eUss arrest drivers whose horses cast
their shoes; arrest glass throWers and
drivers who drop brick and nail-studded
boards on the streets. All these things
cause injury TO automobile tires ="
Louis a. Dent called attention TO the
fact that many things complained Of
by motorists are covered by police -regu-
lations, but their enforcement Is lax.
Others who spoke were r B. Caverly.

LITTLE BABY
HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-Skin All Came
off One Side of Face and Head =
Tried an Ointment which Made It
All Fester-Wee Sufferer Seemed
Disfgured for Life.
CURED WITHOUT A
MARK BY CUTICURA

About year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full Of boiling grease was upset and
IL went all over one side Of the baby's
face and head. One of the family ran
and wiped the scald with a towel and
you may think what mess she made,
pulling the entire skin of. We took her
to a chemist who told US to get a doctor,
which " did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard to put
on. But it ali festered and I thought
the baby was disfigured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment. I used about three
boxes and IL was wonderful howit healed.
In about five weeks it was better and
there wasn't q mark to tell where the
scald had been. People used to ask me
if that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
I told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is just ike velvet and I
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cutieura cured three other children Of
ringwOrm besides, so I have good cause
to thank it for what it has done. Mrs.

PHILADELPHIA. June 17-"Toots"
Shultz, the acknowledged peer of this
season college twirlers. has undoubted-
eddy been the most sought after col
legiate ball player who has played with
any OF the teams o. recent years. He
has several major league offers.
Connie Mack set the ball rolling in
the early part Of 1909 By offering Shultz
a place with the Athletics. This offer
was followed in rapid succession by re-
quests for his services from Columbus.
Detroit, Pittsburg. and the New York
Americans.
The New York offer was made as a
standing one, and at the present time,
if the Quaker star so desires, his serv-
ices will be readily accepted by the
New Workers. This, however. Is entire
" contrary to what Shultz intends do
ing. since several times lately he has
made positive statements that ne will
