Watch your step! Scandal in our
set. Miss Bessie Randall, superin-
tendent Of the Visiting Nurse associa-
ton Of Omaha, knows how to play
faro. She learned this great indoor
sport about week ago when she WIS.,
tied the famous gambling resort at
Tia Juana, Mexico, which is twenty
five miles across the border and
south Of San Diego.
Miss Randall has no intention OF
introducing faro into the Nurses
Central club, 2420 Harney street,
where she was interviewed yesterday
upon her return from a vacation OF
five weeks.
This intrepid Omaha woman told
the story Of her visit to Tia Juana in
the following language:
AT our hotel in San Diego | asked
the clerk II he would recommend .
guide to take myself and two women
companions to Tia Juara. He asked
me why ! wanted to go there and I
replied that wanted to get a glimpse
Of the gambling and the night fife.
He seriously advised against the ex-
pedition, but when asked him a
second time he referred me to q
friend who could drive an automo-
bile and knew the Mexican language
and customs. With me were Mrs.
Charles Willie of Omaha and San
Diego friend. We arrived at Tia
Juana about noon, when the town
was fast asleep. Their day time is
our night.
THE town is typicaiiy Mexican,
with an old fort and evidences Of
Mexican soldicry, such as it Is. At
evening time we visited the great
Casino, which is q large wooden
structure built for gambling.
I'VE were the only women in the
place, but were not subjected to any
affronts. II was a motley crowd
gathered in groups around thirty
games Of all descriptions and for all
sizes OF stakes. There were Ameri-

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society
women now wash their own hair, not
because it is fad, but because they
wish to obtain the greatest possible
hair beauty and be sure they are not
using anything harmful. The thou
sands who have found that in wash
ing the hair it is never wise to use
nakeshift, but is always advisable
to use preparation made for sham
pooing only, say they get the best
results from simple home can
throx mixture. You can enjoy this,
the best that is known, for about
three cents shampoo by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
and dissolving teaspoonful in a
cup OF hot water. Your shampoo is
now ready. After its use the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

Japanese and, Africans at the tables.
American money only was exchanged.
The ages ranged from a newsboy IL
years OF age to a venerable gamester
with long beard. We were eyed
with some curiosity, but most of the
crowd OF nearly 200 seemed more in
tent upon their gambling than upon
three American women visitors.
81 noticed that Mexican military
officer eyed me furtively, but he did
not deign to speak. He wore on his
shoulder three straps, which were
fastened with safety pins, and which,
i presume, indicated his rank, A
newsboy came in and bought IS cents
in checks, won As cents and then
quit. An American had $500 before
him and he told me he started with
$l.50. He cashed in at one table and
then went over to one OF the more
scientific games where the expert
enced players hazard their money.
We remained until midnight, when
we motored back to San Diego, rath-
er glad after all when we crossed the
border again.
Between San Diego and Tia
Juana, on the Mexican side, is a
river which must be crossed on
railroad trcstle with single track
and narrow margin extending be-
yond each rail. To cross this with
an automobile requires considerable
skill. There is not room for two ma
chimes to pass, thus necessitating the
crossing OF only one automobile at
a time. Our machine was examined
BY customs officers on both sides,
especially on the return, as we were
told that motorists have been appre-
hended smuggling Chinese and Jap
anese in the machines for $500 head.
"Oh, yes, at the Casino learned
how to play faro. A man explained
1t to me. but ! do not intend to take
up the game, not at all. 1t is well to
know something about these things"
Miss Randall said bull fights are
held every Sunday at Tia Juana.

Jitneys in Demand.
Jitneys were in demand during the
day, particularly in the crosstown
thoroughfares OF the city. In some
instances adults were observed on
roller skates. The first accident since
the strike. occurred late today, when
fourteen persons, among them six
policemen on strike duty, received
minor injuries in a rear end collision
between two Third Avenue elevated
trains.
Several outbreaks Of violence were
reported by the police. The most
serious was an attack on a Madison
Avenue surface car. Eleven arrests
were made after shots were fred by
the police to hold back rioters who
tried to rescue the prisoners. One
policeman was hurt by a bottle
thrown by rioter.
