CRIMINAL NEGLECT
OF SKIN AND HAIR
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment do so
much for poor complexions , red ,

almost criminal not to use them.
Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles mental be

cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin , soft white hands and
good hair. These blessings are often
only a matter of a little thoughtful ,

Why England'- Big Race Track
Proved a Failure.
those in Control of Broeklands , Auto
mobile Course , Have Experimented
for Years in Attempt to
Make Sports Pay.
London. The problem of how to
make Brooklands , England's big au
tomobile track , pay , or at least prove
self-supporting , at last seems near so
lution. For four years , ever since this ,
the largest racing track in the world ,
was opened to the public , those in
control of it have been experimenting
and out of bitter experience and the
loss of much money they have slowly
but surely learned that its appeal is
not to the man in the street , however
good a sportsman he may be , but to
the rich and well-to-do.
When the track was first opened
only automobile races were held on
the great oval. Later o'n motorcycling
was introduced and finally aviation.
Now all three are combined at every
meet. But attempts to get a popular-
class crowd to witness the events
have been abandoned and the 2,000 or
more men and women who gather to
see the races are recruited almost en
tirely from the upper crust of Eng
lish society owners of motor cars
and flying machines ef their own. As
a matter of fact many of the races
put on are arranged for amateur dri
vers and airmen pilo'ting their own
machines.
Motorcycling has become a popular
pastime in England and interest in
racing is intense. If Brooklands were
more accessible to London it is safe
to say that the motorcycle races
there would attract large crowds. But
It is a 60-cent train ride from Waterloo
lee station , there is another charge
of 60 cents to enter the grounds and
by the time a man has paid for his
tea , a programme and a few other in
cidental expenses he has put the
equivalent of a $2 bill out of commis
sion. The London sport can get so
much for $2 , or eight shillings , it Is
not strange that he does not rush to
Brooklands on meet , days no matter
how keen he may be on motorcycling.
These facts have their influence , of
course , on the incentives that are of
fered to the riders who compete in the
motorcycle ' races. . In the United
States the men race for substantial
purses and hold out for them if they
are not .forthcoming. In England they
are willing to race for a silver mug
of little or no value or almost for a
sheet of paper stating that they won
such and such a race on such and
such a day at Brooklands. That , of
course , has been the trouble in trying
to match De Rozier against Collier ,
the English champion rider. Quite
naturally De Rozier wants to race for
a fair sized purse , not being in busi
ness to collect mugs or diplomas of
merit , and efforts are being made to
get one of the clubs in England to
put up a bag of sovereigns for a
match between the Englishman and
the American.
Of the three sports now in full
swing at Brooklands aviation undoubt
edly draws the largest crowd. It still
possesses the elements of novelty and
danger which have to a large extent
disappeared from automobile racing
and motorcycling. The flying contests
held at the big track are not what one
would call exciting. The flights made
at each meeting are added to the dis
tance covered by the same aviators at
previous meets and the one who com
piles the greatest total before the
close of the season is to get the prize.
Thus , unless one is keen enough to
follow the progress of the several air
men from meet to meet the flying re-
SKYSCRAPER TO HAVE AEROPLANE WHARF
GUSLDING rt W YORK 'Q
YORK. The Woolworth building at Park place , Broadway , now in
NEW
process of erection , will be famous not only by reason of its being the
tallest building in the world , but also from the fact that it is to have a
wharf or landing place on its roof for aeroplanes or dirigibles , at a height
of 375 feet above the street. Above the roof will rise the tower to the giddy
elevation of 750 feet , on the apex of which is to be a huge electric light that ,
in addition to all else , will act as a landing signal for belated air-travelers.
Mr. Woolworth , the owner of the building , is having the wharf constructed
on the score of his belief in the future popularity of aviation not only for
pleasure , but for commercial purposes , also.
solves itself into nothing more than
an exhibition of aeroplaning. Never
theless , it attracts a goodly crowd of
spectators.
Interest has been added to the fly
ing by the fact that a growing num
ber of spectators have been up in the
air themselves. When races are not
being held at Brooklands there is a
corps of professional aviators con
stantly on the grounds for the pur
pose of taking passengers on more or
less lengthy flights. Booking offices
have been opened in London as well
as on the grounds and a flourishing
business is done.
WOMAN NEARER SAVAGE TYPE
Professor Sargent Says She Is of Low
er Order Than Man Has Not
Developed as Rapidly.
Boston. That woman is a lower or-
dfcr of being than man and that she
has not developed so rapidly from the
barbaric state as man is the latest as
sertion by Prof. Dudley A. Sargent ,
head of the department of physical
culture at Harvard , and well known
as a writer upon subjects pertaining
to woman's development.
Are women constitutionally tougher
than men ? This is the question upon
which Doctor Sargent was asked to
pass judgment. It was also a question
which was brought up by Prof. John
M. Tyler of Amherst at the meeting
of the American Physical Education"
association.
"It is a question which is difficult
to answer , " declared Doctor Sargent ,
"perhaps because the word 'tough' is
one capable of so many interpreta
tions. Taken in the sense of meaning
more enduring , I should be inclined to
believe that women were in that re
gard superior to men.
"It stands to reason that since they
are constructed on a plan better
suited to cope with physical forces of
a certain kind , they ( should be able to
withstand conditions which man , who
is built with an entirely dissimilar ob
ject in view , is unable to contend
with.
"Briefly , we may say that woman is
nearer the savage state. Her devel
opment is more primitive than man's ,
just as the Indian Is more primitive
than a white man.
"Woman being biologically more of
a barbarian than a man , she has
greater proportion of physical endur
ance. She can undergo many strains
that a man can not.
"Women accumulate energy while
men expend it. Women have been
developing their muscles while men
have been developing their brains. "

Hartford , Conn. The clean years

prominent as the only inmate of Man

During his stay at the poorhouse
Jackson never has dabbled in any wa

Much excitement was caused by the

TIES UP ESTATE 60 YEARS
Farmers Will Gives Family Only Liff
Interest Children Are All
Comparatively Young.
Trenton , N. J. Because of the pro
visions of the will of the late Heury
Sked it is likely that $17,000 , the pro
ceeds of the recent sale of the Sked
farms at Hokewell and Pennington ,
will be tied up in the court of chan
cery for at least sixty years. A life
interest in the farms was left to Mrs.
Sked and the children , and upon
their deaths were to go to the grand
children.
The sale of the land was made un
der a statute which permits the court
of chancery , where real estate is left
by will and where it is considered
wise to so to do , to convert the prop
erty into cash and invest the cash
for the benefit of the legatees.
Under this law the" proceeds of the
sale have been invested and the inter
est will be paid over to the widow
and children. As the Sked children
are comparatively young it is likely
that it will .be sixty years or more
before the money passes over to the
grandchildren and out of the control
of the court.

New Use for Abandoned Lands in
State 'Place ' for Tramps.
Albany , N. Y. The use of abandon

was pretty mild and while looking for
some one who had the authority to
negotiate the transaction he talked
loud enough for everybody to hear.
"My wife bought this hat , " he said.
"She doesn't need It. She has already
bought three hats this spring. She
paid $35 for this one. She has never
worn it. It just came home last night.
I can't afford to throw all that money
away and I want you to take the hat
back. She wouldn't bring it down , so
I undertook the job sjyself. "
"By the side of that man Napoleon
was a cringing coward , " said the
young woman who had made the sale.
"Imagine his flouncing Into a Parisian
millinery shop with a hat that he
didn't want Josephine to buy. He
couldn't have done it. Vejy few men
