TAKES NAP IN WRONG HOUSE
Bewildered Intruder Is Arrested After
Alarming Occupants of Building
in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-It was six o'clock
In the morning, when Police Operator
Abel received a telephone call from
a woman living in the fiat building at
the northeast corner of York and
Freeman avenues. She vas very
much excited and declared hat a
burglar was in the place.
One minute after Lieutenant Couver
sent Knapp, Fifth district station
house keeper to the place, and three
minutes thereafter the cause of the
trouble was in the hands of the police.
The alarm resulted when Sam Bea-
bout, fif~ty-four years old, who says
his home is at the Kings Mills hotel
at Kings Mills, Ohio, wandered into
the place some time in the night.
There is a heating stove in the hall
and Sam curled up behind the stove
and took a nap. The place looked
just like his home, he said.
When he woke up he was Devil
dered and in order to get his bearings
he raped on the various doors he
encountered. When the occupants OF
tia rooms peeped through a crack in
the door and saw the invader they
were frightened. The next step was
to call for the police.
Sam says his mind is a blank as to
his involuntary visit.

Ice Skating a Real Fad in Society at Capital

THAT part of Washington society
which delights in outdoor winter
sports has started a movement to dis
cuss the ways and means of promot-
ing ice skating. To that end invita-
tions were sent out by a committee
of interested men and women for a
meeting which was held in the ban
ouet hall of one of the large hotels.
II is hoped the feeble efforts of Jack
Frost" in Washington may be supple
mented and real ice skating provided
for those who wish.
The tidal basin at the foot of the
Washington monument is unsafe at
hest and then there are only a few
days' skating on 1t through the win
ter. Last year the time was extended
somewhat because of the almost I'M
p~recedented cold weather in this re-
gion. There are many expert skaters
in Washington, who come from all
parts of the world. Most of them be-
long to the diplomatic circle, although
not a few are people who have spent
the greater part of their lives in the
northern part of the United States.
Among those interested in the
PROJECT is Major Henry T. Allen

Strange Sounds Come from Smithsonian Building

IF you r passing across the front
! of the Smithsonian Institution at
midnight and hear strange cries com
ing from the Byzantine, Norman or
rounded Gothic towers, buttresses,
battlements, groined arches and
cornices, keep your nerve. The moon
may be floating through the southern
sky. Now 1t will be hidden under
dense cloud masses, and then it will
burst through the black mist and cast
its silver sheen over the heavens and
the earth. Against all this, the long
red sandstone buildings, dark but for
a watchman's lamp in the central YES
tibue, will be submitted. 1t looks
gloomy and lonesome. One almost
feels the damp and stagnant vapor
that would rise from the moat around
it, if a moat were there.
You car reassure yourself that you
are not in the depths of a haunt
ed forest and before some dismal
medieval castle by looking northward
to catch the glitter OF the lights in
the post office tower or by listening
to the purr and soft ripple of the
fountain not far removed from the
northwest corner of the building.

Cigarette Smoking Under Ban of Censorship

Mrs. John B. Henderson. who is the
arbiter of dancing and dancers in
Washington, has always been opposed
to the practice. 1t is said she re-
quested a fair smoker to go outside.
Lady Alan Johnston, daughter of
Mrs. James Pinchot, is n of the de-
tenders of the weed, and smokes
when and wherever it strikes her
fancy. She even pulled her cigarettes
while riding in an automobile from
n place to another.
Lady Johnston struck the first note
in the battle some time ago, when
she offered her cigarette case to 9th
er guests at a luncheon. The hostess
was a crusader, and is said to have
requested Lady Johnston, who hap
pened to be the guest of honor, not to
smoke.
Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, who has
recently completed her million-dollar
palace on Sixteenth street, has pro-
vided little balconies from her ball
room windows for the men to smoke
between dances. If the lady guests
wish to smoke they have to go out
side also.
Miss Helen Taft, at a recent lunch
con, displayed her ~displeasure openly
when cigarettes were passed.

WORTHY TO COMMAND MEN
Oashing Girl Cossack Rider Has All
the Warlike Spirit of Her Fight
ing Race.

The Persian troubles in which both
Russia and Great Britain are involved,
but which have been overshadowed
military passion in the bosom of Mira
Poltyjaeff, a good looking young Cos
sack girl who wants to take a Cossack
regiment into Persia.
Having collected her men-all young
Cossacks who know how to shoot and
fight-she wrote a letter to the local
Ataman, or Cossack chief, for a pass
port to leave the country, saying:
las a Cossack born and bred l can
no longer bear tho disorder that reigns
in Persia and therefore have raised a
regiment Of Cossacks to go and put
down the anarchy there. l hope you
will allow us to march as soon az
possible"
Her disappointment was intense
when the Ataman refused her request,
saying that there would be interna-
tional complications if she invaded
Persia. But he showed much sym
pathy with her true Cossack spirit.
She is still drilling her men in hope of
being allowed to go if things grow
worse. When drilling she wears short
skirts and a conical fur cap.
On gala occasions Mira dons a pic
turesque costume worn only by south
ern Cossack maids. 1t dates from the
twelfth century and was introduced by
Genghis Khan from Mongolia, where
it is no longer worn.
Mira is a crack shot and al ride

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around.
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place. a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
