Many of the synthetic blends, &C.
cording to various beauty authorities
have run the gamut" Of hair shades
from black to platinum, and through,
red. gold and slate. Very gradually
they are returning to their natural
hair shades. There may come . time
the beauticians admit, when the
natural brunette will reign supreme
but that cannot possibly be for q
couple of years, at least.
Among actresses popularity supposed
to be true bonds" but actually
brunettes, are Bette Davis, Joan
Blondell, Claire Trevor. Lana Turner
Marion Davies and jeanette Mac
Donald.
ON CERTAIN studio makeup rolls,
Westmore's classification of Carole
Lombard as true blond" is disputed.
Carole herself will make no admis-
sions. Familiarly known to fandom
as the glamorous blond Carole," why
should she chance killing off that
prof1t-paying catchline? But early
pictures stamp her as definite
brunette.
With no attention from her hair
dresser for a few weeks following
the recent birth of her child, Joan
Blondell made an emergency public
appearance the other day as a dark
brown brunette-and a lot OF old
friends had trouble reconizing her.
Bette Davis is naturM brunette
who was lost in the Hollywood shuttle
until she began experimenting with
hair dye. Before her option was
dropped by Universal and picked up
by Warner Eros, at the request OF
George Arlis. Bette had gone blond.
When she went to England. Bette was
advised to look less artificial So
she let her hair return to its natural
shade. And she has allowed 1t to
remain that way ever since.
Players who were in the imelight
when the blond rage got under way
often varied their hair coloring with
each picture. The fans never knew
what to think or what to believe.
Alice White. one of the first OF the
jazz age "flapper" stars. really was
responsible for the mania. Alice
was and still is very much of a bru-
nette, but she was known to fandom
in years gone by as the typical Amer
lean blond baby"
As matter of record, try to find
we'll known actress who hash t
changed hair shade, not once, but
several times! Press agents struggle
to find names for new shades Betty
Cradle is called honey blond"
Anita Louise is gilt blond" and
she is one Of the few who have never
changed the shade.
The records do show that Hollywood
casting directors gentlemen or not)
still prefer blends at about a Stool
ratio. So, if you're in the market
for movie career. plan on becoming
one-by fair means or foul!

CAR STRIKES
TOWER Man
Walt Breen of the Ely Theatre
Accidently Kills Towerite
With Car Friday.

Walter Breen, operator at the Ely
Theatre, had an experience, Friday,
which proved very depressing and heart
rending. Mr.. Breen was driving home
from business trip to international
Falls and when passing through Tower
he struck William Halonen with his
car. Halonen was killed by the i'm
pact, his neck having been broken.
Testimony at the inquest on the fol-
lowing day revealed that Halonen had
been drinking prior to the accident and
it was shown that he had staggered
from between parked cars into the path
of the Breen machine. The oncoming
car was unable to avoid hitting him.
The coroner's jury impaneled by Dr.
c. Gordon Watson, deputy coroner,
placed no criminal responsibility on
Mr.. Breen for the unfortunate occur
renee, which his many friends were
pleased to learn.

Long Prairie Leader-There should be
no misunderstanding about the taxes In
Minnesota for state purposes. 1t is true
that the state rate this year is lower
than it was the previous year, but this
is not because the state is spending less
money. It has been made possible
through the expedient of the state Dor
rowing more money If the state had
levied enough taxes this year to pay its
bills the rate would have been % mills
instead of 10 mills. AS a result the
state has issued certificates of In
debtedness" thus far this year totaling
nine million dollars and other state
funds have been drawn upon temper
arily" for six million dollars more, or a
total deficit due to the tax levy being
too low, of fifteen million dollars. This
does NOT include eleven million dol
lars borrowed to finance relief. This
borrowing will have to be made up in
future years with an extra tax levy and
the amount will be increased by the
interest the indebtedness will draw.
There seems little question that the
state tax rate this year was arbitrarily
reduced for campaign purposes and in
order to lend basis to the claim the
state is being economically managed.
The painful facts are that borrowing Is
covering up the deficit and the people
will find this out later.

News and Comment in The Hibbing
Tribune-There may have been others
that had wisdom, but convinced that he
was the first since Solomon, Governor
Benson, when the state senate refused
to take his orders, breathed out threat
enings and slaughter against its men,
bers and moved into their respective
districts and advised the people just
what should be done about leaving them
severely at home. The net result OF
this procedure is that the governor re-
duced his party's strength in the senate
by one-half and got himself kicked out
of the state capitol into the bargain.
The conservation members of the
senate insisted that their law-making
was more soundly liberal" than the

their case and were so convincing that

The Ely semi-annual meeting of the
Ely Cooperative Assn was held Sun
day, December 4th. william Halame-
kangas, general manager of the Range
Cooperative federation, acted as chair
man of the meeting. After the other
officers for the meeting were chosen the
auditors report, and reports from OFF,
GERS and other committees were heard.
After the reports were read, lengthy
discussion took place as to the accounts
receivable being too high. The man
agement committee was instructed to
go over the accounts from time to time
and watch them more closely than they
have done in the past. 1t was pointed
out that the gross margin was too
high, but as the prices were in line
and in some cases lower than in pri-
vate stores the discussion was brought
to a close.
The associations total sales for the
six months, May LIST to Oct. 30th, was
$81 10000, and increase of SO per cent
over 1887. The main store sales showed
an increase of I'll per cent over 1887.
The branch store at Winton has been
doing very well during the past six
months, the sales being "a per cent
more than for the same months year
ago. A net gain of $4443O0 was real
lied from the operations of the two
stores
AS the store is too small for the ever
growing business a lengthy discussion
was had in regards to enlarging the
main store building. The board was
instructed to ascertain the cost and re-
port at the next meeting.
OF the total purchases, 45.49 per cent
were from the Central Cooperative
Wholesale, 1915 per cent from the
Range Cooperative Federation. The
association still purchases a large
amount of its merchandise from private
houses, so the point was stressed that
Coop. products should always be given
first preference. The clerks and mana
ger were told to judge the needs as

StippIe Finish for
Old LinOLeuna.

Recently we saw a new version of the
stipple finish for repainting old lin
oleum that was most attractive. First
of all, the linoleum was painted a soft
yellow and let dry thoroughly. Over
this bluegreen paint was "spattered"
with, of all things, whisk broom.
Starting in the corner farthest from the
door, the painter dipped whisk broom
in the spatter coat paint and tapped
it gently with a short stick of wood to
send the drops of paint over the floor
in hit or miss fashion. This method
prevented making dog tracks or set
pattern as IS apt to result when using
a sponge Or newspaper wads. Of course,
more than one color could be used
letting each spatter coat dry thoroughly
before applying another And, too, the
finish would last much longer if the
last coat were clear varnish.
