GIRL CUTS OFF TRESSES SO AS TO BUY W. S. S.

Dayton, O. —Juanita Dowell, eleven, cut off her beautiful chestnut curls to help win the war. She then notified'an officer of the National Security league that she wished the hair to be sold In Portland, Ore., and that the money be used in buying War Savings stamps. Gertrude Atherton, the author, made the first bid on the tresses at $5. The child’s explanatory letter is to be sold along with the hair to the highest bidder.
