SAN ANTONIO MACK"
rs SMARTEsT BULLDOG.
Is IA Years Old, But His Doings
Are Spectacular.

Are Spectacular.
San Antonio, Tex.-Mack, the IL
year old registered English bulldog
owned by H. c. Flint, of this city, first
acquired local fame several months
ago when he prevented burglar from
robbing his masters house. He has
long been a neighborhood celebrity,
however, his many less spectacular
performances gaining him friends
among people of all ranks of life ex-
cept burglars.
Aside from being an efficient watch
dog, as was demonstrated when he
seized the burglar, who was escaping
through the window with bag full of
silverware and cut glass he has
many other accomplishments. He
herds chickens as collie does sheep,
he brings in wood in the evening, and
brings in the newspaper and the mail.
When all the members of the family
are too far away to hear the telephone
he calls them to It as soon as 1t rings,
and on one occasion he saved the
house from burning when he called
his mistress into the room where the
rug had caught fire from the CRATE.
Moreover, in spite of his age, Mack Is
an expert mouser.

Be Careful i,, Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 :. The best thing to use is just plain mu1- sifed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

RED CROSS GIFTS S423 FROM JULY
 FOURTH SALES
Barbers' Earnings Total $271, and Gasoline
 Sales $151.

Four hundred and twenty-three dollars and 76 cents was put in the Red Cross treasury yesterday as a four of July contribution from the barbers and the Jefferson Tire and Equipment company. Of the total $151.95 represented sales of gasoline by the tire and equipment company, and $271.S1 receipts of the six bar bershops.
 The white barbers of Pine Bluff originated t..a plan to work and give the receipts to the Red Cross as their way of observing the Fourth. The boss barbers acquiesced and con- tributed all materials, so that the gross receipts would. go to the great relief organization. Young women members of the local chapter, attired in the Red Cross uniform, served as cashiers at the barbershops, and as saleswomen at the gasoline station. Patrons of the shops were imbued with the same, generosity as shown by the barbers, and were rather free with tips one patriot handing over a $5 bill and declining change"
 The Hotel Pines shop. where Mrs. Tom Collier III and Miss Kathleen Collier served as cashiers. led the four'chair shops, taking in 53.75. The Whiteway, Mrs. Adam Robinson and Miss. Ernestine Norris cashiers, wa second with $51.50; the O. K.. Mrs. Jack Bernhardt and Miss Jos ephine Martin, cashiers, third with $47.33; Williams, Mrs. Earl J. Logue and Miss Ruby Grove cashiers, fourth with $44.63, and Wheat, Mrs. J. P. Daly and Miss Frences Andrews cashiers, fifth with $40.6O. The Jef- ferson hotel, two-chair shop, where Mrs. H. l.. Sternberg and Miss La mar Bernhardt were cashiers, show ed receipts of SPA.
 Five. hundred and seventy-five gal Ions of gasoline was sold by the Red Cross ladies at the Jefferson Tire and Equipment company. w. s. Turner and Leo Peck, proprietorss. contributed the gasoline outright, and the entire receipts went to the Red Cross. Mrs. w. D. Jones and Miss Carnelia Walker were on duty at the gasoline station in the forenoon and Mrs. A. w. Troupe and Miss Ei- sic Moore and Josephine Wilkins in the afternoon.
 Eighty per cent of the money goes into the treasury of the local chap ter, and 20 per cent to the national organization
