While the wolf was busy devouring
the rooster the fox had his ears

The hair is arranged in coils at the
back of the head above the nape OF
the neck. Occasionally one sees soft
braids wound about the head. When
there is a scant supply of hair the
small chignon of puffs takes the place
of coils.
Not so many bands are worn now
except for the evening headdress.
Strands of pearls or a narrow band
of rhinestones provide the finishing
touch for these demure coiffures. The

Recruits Anxious to Join Reg

Sent Across Border

Army recruiting stations through
out the state are besieged with appli-
cants who desire to enlist in the reg
ular army. Dozens appear at the re-
cruiting offices every day, but most
of them want assurance that they
will be sent to Mexico when war is
declared. Colonel John H. Gardner
in charge of the local stations, is un-
able to promise this and several have
postponed their enlis tment.
But most of the recruits are so sure
of possible service that they are
taking the chance of the seven year
enlistment to get active service on
the field OF battle
Many of those desiring to enlist
want to see service at the border"
said Colonel Gardner today, but we
can not promise anything. When a
man enlists he has to take his chances
and will be sent where he is most
needed. We are short of men for the
infantry branch of the service. Our
cavalry and field artillery is also a
trifie shy. All the little fellows are
placed in the mounted branch, while
the larger ones are placed in the In
fantry and coast artillery"

/ FOR j. c. HOSPITAL

Realization of President Ide Whee-
ler's ambition to make the new Uni

the foremost institutions of its kind
in the world is Incorporated in the
announcement of the board of regents

This elimination is made possible
through the donation of $150.00o by

Keith and smaller gifts from other
sources.

not onl yin construction, but in equip
ment.
According to William Crocker, who
gathered the funds, he is in receipt of
a steady flow on applications from
wealthy persons who wish to endow
beds.

pany. The boat will leave San

More details about this interest

That The Calls big Richmond
excursion will be a success Is
assured beyond the shadow of
doubt, for, already, since first an
nouncement was made Monday,
several hundred business men and
their wives have signif1ed their
intention of going by signing the
reservation book at The Call
Office.
Nothing of like nature in the
past has aroused the interest that
is being manifested in this big
free excursion to Richmond, and
1t proves that the marvellous de-
velopment of Richmond's new
business district at Twenty-third
and Macdonald avenues has at
tracted the attention of investors
from far and wide.
In planning this trip 1t was The
Calls intention to make 1t pos
sible for a great number of peo-
pie to visit Richmond and view
the big change that commerce and
industry have wrought in the last
few years, but from the opinion of
the people who have visited the
office in the last few days this
knowledge of progress is common,
and the trip of many interested
people has been deferred simply
through lack of opportunity. So

chance Of viewing the city where
