THE question Of who owns
L Dorothy Lamour's hair
has become a burning issue.
1t isn't the hair that Dorothy
had left when her famous
long locks were removed, but
the tresses that fell to the
floor when she won the vic
tory to have her hair bobbed.
She bobbed it for Paramomt's
Moon Over Burma you'll recall.
Instantly the studios publicity de-
partment requested the makeup de-
partment to save the shorn locks;
they knew that thousands of requests
for a lock of Dorothy's hair would
pour in
The requests poured, all right. But
when the head of the publicity de-
partment sent for the hair, the
makeup department replied that it
was in the possession of Dorothy's
mother, Mrs. o. L. Castleberry.
Mrs. Castleberry had protested Bit
terly against the shearing, and to
appease her Dorothy had taken her
the long and lovely locks.
Now the question is-does the stu
dio own those locks, or are they the
rightful property of Mrs Castleber-
ry, who refuses to give them up.

Two years ago the Song Hit guild
of New York set out to prove that
amateurs can write hit songs. The
guilds record proves what a grand
idea that was.
In less than 18 months 18 unknown
authors and composers received ac-
credited publication, advance royal
ties and contracts equal to those
given established professionals. The
list of their songs includes the popu-
lar Cant Get Indiana Off My
Mind" I'm on the Verge of
Merge" and What Ev'ry Young
Girl Should Know" featured while
ago on the Hit Parade.
The Song Hit guild is now con-
Quoting its third nationwide search
for talent. If you're interested, send
your manuscript to the Song Hit
guild, 1919 Broadway, New York
city, at once. An advisory board
headed by Paul Whiteman, Guy
Lombardo, Billy Rose and Kay KY
ser passes on all songs, and writer's
requiring such help are invited to
collaborate with hit songwriters like
Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy McHugh
and others Of equal note.

In the woods. this magic energy

Guiding Post for u. 9.
Recently a federal official of the
rural Identification administration
came to Tacoma to seek first hand
information about the Tacoma
mutuals, how they were formed
and how they are getting along.
He said he wished to talk directly
to members of these mutuals 50
that he might use their personal
experiences elsewhere in the ma
ton in stimulating rural electrifi-
cation.
A Tacoma city light department
official. acting as escort, took him
on a comprehensive tour of the
mutuals. One of the most interest
ing stories was that of Andrew
Anderson, manager Of the Chop
Valley mutual.
Anderson Is a well-to-do dairy
farmer operating well-kept farm
about % miles from Tacoma. As
the federal man questioned him,
Anderson related how his father
had been among the first of the
valley settlers TO seek electric
service.
Only a few miles away was a
hydro-electric plant of a private
utility and 1t was to this company
that the farmers first appealed,
Anderson said.
Made Money Steadily
THE company offered to build
a line to Chop valley for $4,000"
Anderson said, but for our people
$4,000 was impossible. In the
other direction was the Nisqually
river plant of the city of Tacoma.
The city officials advised my
father and his friends to form a
mutual company, build their own
line 10 connect with Tacoma's
transmission line, and buy their
current wholesale. We did that,
though 1t cost some Of the men,
bers as much as 500 for the
original lines.
But the valley developed, popu-
lation grew. more farmers joined
the mutual and we made money
steadily. Out of profits we gradu-
ally paid back each Of the original
members every penny he paid into
the construction fund and all along
we've had all the electricity we
wanted at the lowest rates.
Some time ago. an agent of
the private utility came along and
offered to pay us back our entire
investment II We would turn over
our lines and future service 10 his
company. Though some of our
members could have used the cash,
We decided the mutual idea was by
far the best and we stayed
with IT,"
Anderson showed his visitors his
