TAR APPLICATIONS

One of the very best treatm ments Tor a stubborn case of dandruff is a tar application. Some beauty shops sell tar preparations in bottles all ready to be applied to the scalp. If you can get these you will find them con Uenient and not very expensive. IT you cannot however. you can fix the tar for yourself.
 Buy a little bit of just ordinary black sticky tar. One woman I know gets it from "a. builder and roof CT, though most drug stores will carry it in some usable form. Heat a few ounces of olive oil, as much as will almost fill the bottle you decide to use for the tar Add the tar to the hot oil and stir with a small stick until it melts and blends. I can't give you exact proportions, so mucn depends on the thickness or stick1- ness of the tar that you've bought. The result will be a black looking mass of about the consistency of thick syrup.
 This should be kept and used as needed. When ready for the shampoo pour "a little tar mixture into a warm caucer and dip into it an old tooth brush. Part the hair and rub the brush along the parting. Part the hair in another place few inches away and rub again. Do this until you have completely covered your scalp with the tar preparation. It will wash off because you have used only a small amount of tar to a large amount of olive oil. These propor- tions are. I should say. from one eighth to one-quarter as much tar as oil.

Great Potash Field
 May Be Discovered

Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 13.-Potash beds large enough to supply the en- tire American demand for fertilizer and perhaps provide a surplus for export are likely to be discovered in Western Texas, according to H. w. Hoots, now in instructor in the de- partment of Geology in the Univer- sity of Kansas. For the past year Mr Hoots. as member of the United States Geological Survey, carried on Investigations in the prospective fields.
 Tn a territory extending approxi- mately 125 miles north and south and an equal distance east and west along the new Mexican border. strong indf- cations have been found of what is perhaps the largest salt bed in the world. Surveys indicate approxi- mately 5000 square miles of prairie country underlayed with bed of rock salt that ranges from 70 to 1.500 feet in thickness. This salt bed lies at a depth If 300 to 2.SoO feet making it convenient for mining operations. The conditions whic are favorable to the formation of salt are favorable also to the formation of potash.

He is walxened at dawn by the sudden appearance of a girl who informs him that she, too, is camping alone at a point half a mile from him that dur ing the night a bear has raided her larder and eaten all her supp plies and that she has come to him for help. She added that her name is Edith, and that the farmer who brought her into the woods is to call for her in week. Beyond that he can learn nothing about her.

NEXT DOOR TO ROMANCE
 BY LESLIE BURTON BLADES

"Jerry, is it absolutely essential that you understand everything?'
 Not absolutely" His cheeks red dened. but he laughed.
 Then suppose we just take things as they are and enjoy them"
 I'm willing enough. The trouble seems to be my imagInatton."
 That's better She smiled into his eyes, her own changing expression too rapidly for him to follow.
 You see. dear boy, you must never take a woman's request to be neglect ed so seriously"
 "How old are you?' He blushed NEXT DOOR TO-2 at the unexpected rush of his own un- foreseen question. S.1ver-elear her gay laugh rang through the silent night. You dear, dear boy, I almost love you for that"
 Well, is it so strange? You asked my age, I believe"

 She nodded. Her lips curved slight ly, and in her eyes was a breeding look, half dream, half hunger, that baffled him. She did not answer. A tiny toss of her head suggested rebellious distress at his reluctance. A faint sigh es- capped her.
 Jerry" her voice grew redolent of mystery, i've all weave dreams of the stuff our lives just miss. I want to dream. Why are you so stingy?"
 She asked that like a petulant child. He felt suddenly superior.
 When he spoke it was with a new note of masculine assurance in his voice.
 Edith, I will tell you but-but it's hard to talk those famiIiarities when you sit there looking like wood nymph. Why did you put on that dress ?''
