Gus opinions that all was not az II should

$4,000 was referred to the county attorney
and the committee OF the whole. Com
missioner Harte in a heated speech asked
that the county attorney be requested
to make an investigation.

The county board was interested only in
learning what disposition had been made
by the fair society OF about 5000 which

inquire what had become OF the 5000.
Failing to find out, he made several

| following:
II believe the taxpayers OF this county
are about to rise up and call halt on
this useless expenditure Of money II
looks TO me like taking money from
honest workers and spending It in a way
that IL not honest.
THE fair association spent $4,000 on a
little fair out there when all the exhibits
were not worth more than 5000"
Lynch Favors Investigation.
Commissioner Lynch declared an inves-
tigation should be made as to how the
county's money was spent
I'VE should find out whether they
didn't put the money in horse racing.

Spanish combs are returning" such
was the reply of a prominent Washing
ton hairdresses when the representative
Of The Woman's Herald asked him yes
terday for the latest news in matters of
hairdressing.
These combs are to be worn straight
up at the back of the head in the fash
ion of two decades past or be placed
at the turning in of the French twist
roll which at present decorates the head
OF average smartIy coiffed woman.
This comb, called the Carmen, in
honor of our own Farrar who has made
a great success in the role, is most pop
ular. but the Sans Gene is equally well
liked.
This comb is leaflike affair, devel-
oped in innumerable ways. Second to
its beauty its chief charm is its conVen-
fence, for II is shaped to fit the curve
of the head closely so It may be worn
under the hat.
