This work can best be done In the

Three detectives. each with a three

FIND BODY "WILD
 WOMAN" IN WOODS|

Little Rock, June 26.-The scantily clad, emaciated body of the mystery woman" of Echo valley was found by members of searching party at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. After a brief period of time, during which the "wild woman," barelegged and bare footed, tramped through the little community, terrorizing the children and wives of farmers, the demented woman died of starvation.
 The body was discovered by Will and Jim Borough, residents of Sweet Home, who, with several others, Sun day organized searching party to find the unknown woman who has been seen mysteriously sinking around the community, running at the approach of persons seeking to aid her.
 No marks of identification could be gathered. The woman was clothed only in thin, white skirt and thin waist. Bits of the mystery woman's' apparel and an unmarked handker- chief were taken by Coroner Martin P. McNeil, Deputy Coroner Frank Martin and Deputy Sheriff Evans, who were called by the search party, as possible clues to the woman's identity. The "mystery woman" was about 5 feet inches in height, and was about 65 years old.

 Miss Myrtle De]oy easily carries the show and her singing of the "St. Louis Blues and the duets with MT. Bierig were easily the best singing numbers.
 Eddie Deloy as the Dutchman and Bob Bieber as "Abey' have a good, clean line of comedy and their work in the quartet called for numerous encores. Bob Bieber, the tanglefoot dancer, is one of the best of his kind ever seen here and was also we'll re- ceived.
 The costumes were neat, and the work of the chorus in both song and dance were above the ordinary. Nolla Deloy makes a charming widow and handles her situation in pleasing manner.
 The same bill will be presented to- day and Wednesday, with a new pie ture program daily.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsi6ed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos sib1y injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out cas- lily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
