Tt was for this article she was put on the German list of “dangerous for eigners.” Washington Farm She and her husband have re cently bought a farm in Washing ton near Hood's canal, which they found after wandering all over the United States in a trailer searching for the best place to build a home. They spent some time in the southwest, as Mrs. Ross is interested in Indians and; their customs. The land in Wash ington, which they finally chose because Mrs. Ross is a native of Olympia, Washington, is about GO acres ami is on three levels. The top one, where the barn that Mr. Ross uses as a studio stands, is farm land; the second level, where the house will be, is an old orchard, and the third is a long sandy beach. Mrs. Ross was a member of Theta Sigma Phi and belonged to Pot and Quill while she was in school here.
