ELEPHANT POUNDS
TRAINER TO DEATH

Walter Eldridge, aged %, was
pounded to death against the ground
by an elephant of which he was as
sistant trainer, before thousands OF
persons at Kingsport, Tenn, yester-
day. Apparently without cause, the
elephant which Eldridge was leading
to water following circus perform
ance became infuriated and, Selling
the victim in his trunk, began pound
ing him furiously against the ground
and ended his life by stamping him.
The crowd of spectators became ex-
cited and a general stampede ensued'
several women fainting.
Shots fired into the animals body
only increased his fury. The beast
was gotten under control only after
his regular trainer arrived.
The elephant was not owned by the
Ringing or Gollmar shows for they
are not in Tennessee.

GAS FAMINE IN BRITAIN
No Automobile Rides in England I'm
til After the War,

London, Sept. 19.-If American
motorists feel troubled over the cost
of gas for their buzz carts, let them
listen to the Britishers' troubles and
rejoice at their own good fortune.
The British private motor car owner
is unable to get the gas he wants at
any price. When German submarines
began torpedoing the oil tank ships
from the United States, the American
oil men quit shipping it. Conse-
quently gasoline is 50 scarce in Eng
land that it is given out by card to
car owners in very limited quantities.
The government has allowed 60 per
cent of tie amount of gas demanded
by commercial car owners, SO per cent
of that asked for taxis, 25 per cent of
the private motor owners demand and
two gallons a month for motorcycles
All evidences point to the doom of
private motoring until after the war.

Charles Brown Enlarges His Gift to

Stafford, Kan, Sept. 19.-Charles A.
Brown has made another gift to the
city-the old house located on the
Brown Athletic field. Mr. Browns
proposition was that if the commits
sion would agree to put the old house
in condition for a club house, he
would give it to the cxy. The propo-
sition has been accepted by the COM
mission.
The old house will be completely
remodeled. 1t will be placed on a
good foundation, the weather board
ing will be taken off and replaced with
stucco. A big double porch will also
be built on three sides of it. The roof
is now in good condition and the in
terror can be put in good condition
with little expense. The building will
make a fine club house and the ex-
pense of putting it in order will be
small, when compared to the kind of
building the city will have when it is
completed.

Movie Actresses
and Their Hair

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact (this is a secret), many are lead
ing ladies just because of their at
tractive locks. Inquiry among them
discloses the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampooing, not with any
soap or makeshift, but with simple
mixture which they make up for
themselves by putting a teacupful IF
canthrox (Which they get from the
druggist), in a cup of hot water and
applying this instead of soap. After
its use their hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
it looks much heavier than it is Its
lustre and softness is delightful. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth--Adv.
