Citizen Would Stop
Holdup and Lets
Footpad Get Away
Unwonted zeal upon the part of a
well-meaning citizen nearly allowed a
hold-up man to escape last night aft
er Be Mad tried to rob tnree pedes
trians. A 6-month-old puppy dog upon
which the bandit steDoed in trying to
find a hiding place betrayed his
whereabouts and caused his arrest.
Wesley Dary, 2601 Dodge, identified
by three victims, is being held by the
police as the robber. He is alleged
to have held up Darian Iropjain and
V. J. Gregory of 120 North Twenty
second, and A. Kassarian, 503 South
Twenty-second, at Twenty-second and
Davenport.
While he was trying it, the three
leaped upon him and had him over
powered when the citizen with the gun
came up. He mistook the victims for
the wrong-doers and he held them
off with the pistol while the roDDer
got up.
While the bandit was fleeing to
safety Officer Earl Risk approached.
The mau stepped on the dog, however,
and was arrested. He has been iden
tified. , ,
Dary was bound over to the district
court, with bonds fixed at $700, after
a preliminary hearing in police court
this morning.
Will Orpet Visits
Celestia Youker Is
Unconfirmed Story
Chicago, July 18. Will H. Orpet,
acquitted of the murder of Marion
Lambert by a Lake county jury at
Waukegan Saturday night, spent yes
terday, his first day of freedom since
February 11, far away from the
crowds which had been his lot dur-
lr. Inner u,elr nf Viis trial.
The young collegian arose about 6
o clock yesterday morning ana snorny
afterward, accompanied by his mother
and brother, went for a long automo
bile ride in the country about Lake
Forest. ....
Reports that he went in the direc
tion of River Forest where Miss Ce
lestia Youker resides, and that he
had seen the girl during the day could
not be verified last night. Edward
O Orpet, the father, who remained
at the home on the McCormick estate,
refused to disclose the whereabouts
of Will, and would neither affirm nor
deny the reports regarding Miss
Youker.
Death Snatches
Litttle Daughter of
Fred Hamilton
Ethel Pauline Hamilton, aged 6,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
P. Hamilton, 608 South 38th street,
died last night at the family home of
Brights disease. She had been ill
a month and i.oted specialists had
been called in to treat her exceptional
case.
The funeral will be held Wednes
day morning at 9 o'clock at St. Ce
celia's church, with interment in Holy
Sepulchre cemetery. Private services
will be held at the home at 8:40
o'clock. Fred Hamilton, jr., is the
only surviving child.
Deutschland Built
Within Six Months
Berlin, July 18 (Via London.)
Commercial submarines may assume
considerable importance in German
American trade during the remainder
of the war, according to the Bremen
correspondent of the Koelnische Zei
tung. The freight earnings of the
Deutschland were so great that the
vessel was paid for out of the profits
of its first voyage. It is expected,
therefore, that many others will be
built. ,
The correspondent does not give the
date when the Deutschland was be
gun, but intimates that it was built in
less than six months. He adds that
the company which built the sunia
rine is being flooded with requests
to accept freight. One exporter wants
room for 60,000 casks of beer, and
many wish to send letters. Postal
facilities, however, probably will not
be extended.
German In Belgium Flared.
Paris, Jul IS. An address criticising acts
of German military authorltleB In Belgium
signed by 600 Spanish Catholics has been
sent to Monslgnor Deplolgne, governor of
the Philosophical Institute at Louvain with
the request that It be placed in the archives
of the reconstructed library of the Catholic
university of Louvain.
Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair In good
condition, be careful what you wash It with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos etmtain
too much alkali. This dries the sealp, makes
the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plsin mulstfied eoeoamit oil (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water and
rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make
an abundanee of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, 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 mulslflsd cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It Is very cheap, and
a few ounres le enough to last everyone in
the family for months. Advertisement

Keep Your Nerve,

London, July 18. The German
general staff has issued an appeal to
the people of Germany for confidence
in the conduct of the war, according
to a Rotterdam dispatch to the Daily

at St. Cecelia s church. Interment
will be in Holy Sepulchre cemetery.
Privte services are to be held at the

The Burgess-Nash store seemed to
be changed suddenly into a Turkish
bazaar yesterday afternoon as the
clock struck 5. Everywhere were seen
men and women, boys and girls wear
ing red fezzes on their heads. On
closer examination the gold lettering
revealed the legend, "Burgess-Nash
Picnic, Krug Park."
It was the hour of the annual picnic
given by the company to its 500 em
ployes. In a few moments the big
brass band was boom-itty-coming-iway,
out in front of the store, under
the leadership of Mr. Barton and Six
teenth street was full of pretty girls
and mere men and boys, all With
fezzes on their heads and tickets in
their hands.
These tickets had been distributed
to all the employes. They were long,
coupon things, like a railroad ticket
from Omaha to San. Francisco with a
side trip to the Grand Canyon and
stopovers at Winnemucca, Albu
querque and Walla Walla. But, my I
Tickets like these couldn't be too
long. One coupon admitted you to the
park, one rejoiced the inner man with
a box lunch, lemonade and ice cream,
others admitted to the delights of the
roller coaster, merry-go-round, old
mill and such like.
The Special Can.
Well, eight big open cars finally
drew around the curve and stopped in
front of the store. And soon they were
whizzing Krug parkward with the
hapDV crowd, the band booming away
and the folks singing a song about

Burgess-Nash Co. Everybody's Store 16th and Harney i
tographer was there and, first thing,
a picture was taken.
Then came the athletic sports.
Some sports! First, the buyers and
managers ran a fifty-yard race in
which "Doc" Lippold's long legs
proved themselves useful as well as
ornamental, winning him first prize.
Atwood Wins Twice.
Rose Yunek carried off first pri
in the ladies' twenty-five-yard dash.
Paul Murphy proved himself fleetest
among the boys and G. Atwood won
the men's fifty-yard dash. G. Atwood
also won the fifty-yard special dash.
Then came the egg and spoon race.
The object of this is to see which
one of a number of girls can carry an
egg in a spoon a distance of twenty-
live yards in the shortest tune. Miss
A. Chub was the only one who ar
rived at the end of the course with the
egg unbroken in the spoon. And the
grass was strewn with the broken hen
fruit ot the losers.
Next was the necktie and collar
race. 1 ins was not a race between
neckties and collars. It was a race by
men who ran from one end of the
course to the other, removed their
neck decorations, ran to the other end
of the course and back, resumed their
neck trimmings and ran back to the
beginning point. Palmer Wert proved
himself the swiftest foot racer-necktie
fastener.
But, ah, listen to the tale of the
girls' ball throwing contest. This con
test was to see which girl could throw
a base ball the farthest. Common
caution should have directed that it
be held in a ten-acre lot, from which
innocent bystanders would be rigor
ously excluded. The girls took their
places, and a long, broad lane was left
between the crowds of spectators.
The girls aimed carefully down the
lane and let fly with the balls. The
lulls Hew in every direction. Men
dodged, boys ducked, women scram
bled. Talk about the trenches of
France! However, the casualties were
not serious. May l'almer won the
prize. She pretty nearly threw the
ball over the fence. Then came lunch
(coupon No. 2, please). Big boxes of
sandwiches, fruit, pickles, and topped
otf with a brick of ice cream. Step
around to the lemonade barrets and
get all you want.
Messrs. Burgess and Nash "circu
lated" among their employes and had
as good a time as anyone. Mr. Bur
gess was observed in the "three-fr-a-quarter"
photograph gallery, posing
on the afterdeck of the canvas ship
"Krug Park," right next ot a painted
life preserver, having his picture
taken. Mr. Nash seemed to favor the
merry-go-round for his share of thrill
and excitement.
A. L. Green, the advertising man
of the stores (you know, Mr. Green
has a new seven-passenger touring
car and he's going to drive up to
Minneapolis and Chicago, and, oh,
take a long tour next month) but
what we started to say was that Mr.
Green seemed to be everywhere and
kept everything moving on schedule.
Miss Mary Sturgeon, his assistant,
found her chief pleasure in doing the
dip-to-dcath on the roller coaster.
Then there was dancing. Some of
the coupons on the long ticket were
for that.
It was certainly a grand success of
a picnic.
