| MAYBE OUR BARBERS WILL HAVE TO WORK OVER-TIME BY CYNTHIA GREY To bob, or not to bob (the hair, of course) is the all-absorb- topic discussed around tea urns and bridge tables haunt- '*% straight back and kept in q - | goon as it comes in thick and} _ © long encugh to do up, ga by the feminine tribe. Miss Grey wishes to keep her columns strictly up-to-date, $0 perhaps a discussion of this self-same subject would be in- teresting, and at the same time of help to those undecided dames in their dilemma. Eventually they will be influenced largely by the approval or disapproval of the opposite sex, so here’s a letter from one of them: Dear Miss Grey: Aesop, in one of his fables, relates how a fox, having been caught by the tail in a trap, in order to save her life from the trapper, chewed it off and thus escaped. It grieved her to lose such a glorious appendage, and fear- ing also the ridicule of her kind, she gathered them together im convention to advocate tha their tails. t they also should part with She propounded many good reasons for going tailless, such as safety from having them caught in traps, the increase of Speed to escape dogs, and the lessening of the desire for foxes by hunters. But alas, her hearers proved “too foxy” to be taken in by her scheme and cried her down. Moral: If you've got a good piece of fur, take care of it.

A variety of poisons may be used, barium carbonate, phosphorus, ar. senic and others, but even with an efficient poison, failure ofteh results thru lack of attention to details, How to Use Barium Carbonate KIND OF BAIT—Three or more kinds of bait should be ured. Bach must be mired separately with bart um carbonate. One kind of bait from each of the following classes should be used.

(2) Fresh fruit or vegetable food, such as cantaloupe, tomatoes, green “Rats are carriers of the bu- bonic plague, which recently has swept over Mexico with appalling results and penetrated into Texas, causing deaths, It is possible for these carriers of bubonic plague to reach northern points in ship- ments or in cars, Rout the rat.” —Dr. H, L. Rockwood, Cleveland health commissioner, corn, baked sweet potatoes, bananas, ete. (3) Miscetianeous cheese, peanut butter, cereals (raw gr cooked).
