 ''Kassan" is saiG to be the Indian word which means "a pretty town" {, and all reports agree that the village was we'll named. The fact that the village was occupied by the Indians for many years explains the local name old" Kassan, by which it is widely known.

To Quickly Remove
 Ugly Hairs From Face
(BeautY Notes)

Beauty destroying hairs are soon banished from the skin with the aid of water with a little plain powdered delatone. This is spread upon the hairy surface for 2 or minutes, then rubbed off and the skin washed to re- move the remaining delatone. This simple treatment banishes every trace Of hair and leaves the skin without a
 blemish. Caution should be used to be certain that it is delatone you buy.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
City a Separate County

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: MT. P. l.. Walker in this morning S
 Age-Herald, writing anent the formation "The subject has been discussed off and
 on for the past several years, but no con- crete action taken; no bill of divorcement flled.''
 I wish to direct MT. Walkers attention to the fact that there was a bill intro duced at the last session of the legisla- ture creating separate county for Bir- mingham. I wrote and introduced the hill and it was, as MT. Walker puts it. a ''mans job.' I put in lot of hard work for it's passage, but received little or no assistance. As a consequence, the bill was lost.
 I have been preaching for several years that new county was Birmingham only hope for permanent relief, but the worshipers of Imperial Jefferson" would not listen When my bill was introduced in the legislature, the Chamber of Com merce of Birmingham drew up resolu- tions against it's passage and urged mem
 bers to vote against it.
 The people are now beginning to see that it is the only way out and are walk ing up-too late. If there had been as much publicity given to the subject, and as much enthusiasm expressed for a new county during the legislative session when my bill was pending, as there is now, the bill would have passed, and the end of Birminghams troubles would now be in sight. Yours very truly, ISADORE SHAPIRO. Birmingham, March 6, 1916.
