the same over there as in Morgan.
Our impelling interest over there
was curiosity about the building Of
the road from the Morgan county
line, past the Harold Haines home
to the Sailor graveyard. AS the
crow flies, the distance between
these points is a mile and a half,
but the road was not laid out by
the wing. While as il now appears
it is not near up to the standard OF
the Cloud road in Morgan, but it
must be understood that to begin
with it is in a more undulating ter
ritory and is of a more sinuous out
line. Be it said for it that this par
ticular project attempts conquest
of one of those barricaded regions,
consisting of bluff and hills, and

some manner came in contact with

that there might be two, and at the

NEVER TIRES OF DANCING
She truly loves to dance.
While rehearsing her numbers
for her new pictures, she had to
follow certain routines which
she had created at the first Of
the picture. But every night at
6 o'clock, after dancing all day,
she would say to her exhausted
piano player:
"Chris, play that funny piece
so I can do a dance just to
please myself"
Her friends say that only one
thing will get the Powell tenn
per to a red-hot point; people
who don't think she devised all
of her steps herself.
Once she read in a newspaper
column that some instructor
was helping her figure out the
steps for her new picture. She
was so hurt that she cried for
an hour.
She's really the pet of the
studio.
When the chorus men and
girls discovered that she had
purchased a new car, they put
in their dimes and nickels and
bought her a radio to go wit it.
She doesn't go in for much
Of social life. Says she's too
tired after dancing all day.
When she rented her new
house, the first she's had since
her arrival in Hollywood, she
told her mother that she wanted
to give a party right away.
Her guest list was unusual. It
listed her hairdreSSer, her
maKe-up boy, her wardrobe
