WORKING Girls, Hotel in Wichita.

Wichita, Kan.-An active campaign
is on foot here to build and equip
working girls hotel, wherein it Will
be possible for working girls of the
city to live at reasonable cost. The
proposition was originated by DR.. j.
w. Wolff, local dentist, and is meet
ing with much favor DR.. Woltz es-
Inmates that the completion of this no
tel will cost from $4,000 to 100000.
Indications are that there will be no
serious trouble in raising this amount.
Wichita has probably one hundred and
fifty working girls who are awav from
home and would be glad to take ad-
vantage of such an institution. 1t is
estimated that the hotter could be made
self-supporting after it is completed at
80 per week for board, room and laun-
dry.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
It kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine. and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to I'M
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out IN lItle cuIlS ali o'oi

Russian Ride Completed This
Morning with Only One Spill
at the Jumps-Mounted Ser
vice on Oahu Has Made Good

I Especial Star-BulletiT Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. 20
This morning the officers of the
First Field Artillery. led by Major
W. NJ Cruikshank, completed the
much-discussed Russian ride success.
fully, and SchofieId Barracks has
lapsed into its wonted calm. For a
month past the spectre of the steeple-
chase has hung over the mounted
service, and three serious accidents,
resulting from fails at the jumps, have
not served to improve the peace of
mind of those who had to complete
the test of horses and hOrsemanship.
The fact that the former counted
more than the latter has been the
principal source of complaint. for any
child could have negotiated the low
hurdles and narrow bitches on a
schooled jumper. while to get round
the. course within the time limit on
green mounts was quite aLother
matter
There was only one spill during this
mornings ride, and luckily it turned
out to be more of an incident than
an accident First Lieutenant Ned B.
Rehkopf went down at one of the
jumps, but, like Captain Day of the
cavalry in the previous test, he
mounted again, took the hurdle, and
finished inside the time limit.
The artillery officers rode a
course of their own, measuring one
mile, and intersected by two 3-foOt
hurdles and one 6-foot ditch. They
made three circuits, taking therefore
nine jumps in all. The cavalry, in
their Russian ride last Monday. rode
course which measured a trifle
more than. two miles, on which they
made one and a third laps, over nine
jumps.
For another year, then. the officers
of the First Field Artillery and Fifth
Cavalry can turn their minds from
steenleChasing to. more pmS'y mill
tary matters. although it is possible
that more attention will be paid to
jumping as a regular part of the
schooling of officers mounts.
