The twists made possible the squalid conditions In Tar Hollow, north of here which health and school authorities of this county cannot break up. Because the river cut off part of a school district west of Columbus, the State awarded the district the Tar Hollow strip Id this county, and because cf this, Tar Hollow defies ail clean-u-p efforts and lives happily in dirt, poverty and ignorance. Tar Hollow, in a glen deep in the bills of northwestern Ross county, is five miles from a passable road. Its residents 11 vp in miserable slmeksancii cabins, in augouts and in leanto beds. Many have never been out of the Hollow in their lives even to go to Hallsvllle, a. village five miles away. Marriage taws are disregarded, school laws are flagrantly repudiated. Raggedness and filth complete the picture. Corn husks are used for beds, dirt is When ' county health commissioner, went to Tar Hollow and found these conditions existing. But they can do nothing. Because the land belongs to a school district in a county 50 miles nway, local authorities cannot force these people to send their children to iAoss county schools. Tat!.Hiiiow folks, shuattersfon the' land, became aware that the work of county school and health officers had been hampered some way. Since then, they, have flatly refused either to send their children to school or to clean up their insanitary habitations. In desperation, the matter has been put up to state officials.

One favored by many of the travelers is a chassis with a house upon It, equipped with everything from stationary wash basin to rocking chairs. The flivver with camping equipment suspended from every possible part of the car to which a bit of wire or cord can be attached, is the most common traveler. A hay burner lantern, one of the variety usually seen about farmhouses, may be attached to the radiator cap.

If this potash field proves what Is' expected, said Mr. Hoots, "it will mean that the United States has found an internal source which is needed so much not only as a soil fertilizer, but also in the im.nufncture of soap, glass, explosives and medical supplies. Comparatively little potash Is now being obtained in the United States, and what there is now comes from .western Nebraska, Searles lake, California, and the Great Sait Lake region in Utah. - - I .

Would It be too much trouble to print It again t I trust that I may be of service to you aflin In regard to other songs, as I am familiar with a number of those old ones. Ever, DULCE, Roberts, Idaho. , I thank jrou M very much for sending the two songs. I hope I may be able to help you as much In return. Shirley Mason's address Is, The Fox Studios, Western Avenue, Hollywood, Calif. It is necessary that you have a very heavy bead of hair to successfully dress It in the National Bob effect. Separate the hair at the hack of the head into two parts, cross them and arrange each part in a coil from the ccrtter to the ears. Then curl the ends in small curls and fasten with pins all across the back over the colls In irregular form, pinning each end of curl in place. I hope I have made this plain enough, and if you have heavy hair so them are many ends to curl, it js very pretty. Perhaps you have some combings which you could have made into a few curls to help out If you lack a few. Could I ask for a few more songs if you happen to have them?

There are many good powders and creams, and the bst is the one which ie soothing and beneficial to your particular skin. This you will have to determine yourself by trying them. It is best to ue a cream and powder of the same make and if you find that the cream irritates or the powder does not go an smoothly, try another line of preparations. Some powders and creams are much heavier" than others and I could not tell you just what ones would be bet for your skin. (2) Your song will appear later if it ean be found.
