I'+ Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Going Some (Continued from page 76) WHY / USE A "NATIONAL BOB" " First of all, bobbed hair is fashionable. And then it does really make me look younger. But why sacrifice my beautiful hair ? I wear the " National Bob " and nobody knows the difference. It matches my hair perfectly and I have it on and off in a minute. Yes indeed, I bought it direct fronrj the manufacturer for $10 postpaid. All I did was to send a strand of my hair. Believe me, it is the best little bargain I've bought in a great, great while.

Chicago, III. the redoubtable "Miz" Gallagher. A widow of fifty-five cast-iron years, and to use the vernacular of the country a "regeler rootin' tootin' old cattlewoman." She could outshoot and out cuss and out ride any cowpuncher in the wide and rugged state of Nevada. Her very middle name was "What'Il-you-bet." And for her part she would bet on anything. The social relations, therefore, between the Centipede ranch and its neighbor the Flying Heart were exactly what you might expect. It was into this charming setting that Roberta Covington Keap was shortly to bring her house party of gentle collegians. This coming of Roberta was viewed with conjidcrable alarm by "Still Bill" Stover. The Flying Heart had become a decidedly ruri down and tatterdemalion affair. But the most serious objection of the foreman to the impending visit of the owner and her party was to be discovered in a remote corner of the Flying Heart's wide acres, where a tall oil derrick reared against the sky. The tents of the workers stood about and the spot was agog with fevered drilling. It was thence that Stover betook himself with Roberta's teleeram. As Stover trundled up in the rattling ranch flivver John Ladew, oil operator and supervisor of the drilling operations^ emerged from his tent and walked over to the car. "What's up Bill?" Stover tossed over Roberta's message. Ladew read it with a grin. "Won't seem so funny to you when she stumbles on to this oil well." The suave Ladew waved away Stover's alarm with a careless gesture. "Don't worry. She won't know this oil derrick from a step ladder. Tell her you are drilling for water." But Stover was badly worried. Ladew hastened to reassure him.

Last week afore you come them Centipede crooks trimmed us on a footrace — we bet everything we had." This was the nearest to a diversion the house party had met on the Flying Heart. Roberta and her guests drew around to hear all of Willie's sad, sad story. "Why don't you win it all back?" Roberta was trying to be encouraging. Willie shook his head. "After our man lost he kep' oa runnin' and we ain't got no footracers left." Helen bubbled with inspiration. "Why Culver is coming today. He'll—" Jean shook her head. But Helen bubbled on. She turned to Willie. "The intercolleg i a t e champion runner is coming today — he'll race for you — and he's the fastest runner in America." Willie stopped his sweeping and stared at Helen. Then he let out a most disconcerting whoop and ran for the bunkhouse. Jean stamped her foot, exasperated at Helen. "Helen you know Culver won't run in such rough company." Helen had not forgotten something she had heard from eloquent lipxs the day of the intercollegiate meet back in New Haven. She felt safe and certain. "Well, if Culver won't run for the poor sheep gentlemen, I know who will." The Limited, stopping at Kidder, Nevada, only to discharge transcontinental passengers, was whistling in the distance when the sheep men of the Flying Heart assembled at the station, a self-constituted committee of welcome for "that there college footracer." Meanwhile Roberta and her party arrived per flivver. Aboard the Limited in a smoke-laden compartment Mr. J.
