At nalr past seven that night Nat aiie was arrayed and waiting, in a dream of French creation that dripped with silver lace, and gilt tered with paillettes. The corsage was cut in deep in front and was supported on the shoulders by tiny silver butterflies.
 Around the walstline trailed spray of pastel flowers and foliage, shading from pink to mauve, anG from mauve 10 orchid.
 Miss Natalie had piled her curly locks up high and secured them in position with beautiful old Spar ish comb fan-shaped. Jade earrings, platinum mounted (the gift of Uncle Frederick, and brocaded, buckled shoes that were the last word in smartness completed her toilette.
 She looked extremely pretty-and sophisticated She had aimed at the latter effect. and had succeeded to her satisfaction For MT. Farrel Galt did not admire the type that might be classed as "ingenue" or "debu- tante."

 "But-tell me, Natalie-he doesn't genuinely approve of me?"
 Approve of your stammered his partner, taken aback. "Why-why do you ask?'
 Under cover of the tablecloth he touched her hand. These small, stra- getic movements always proved a first-class stopgap when one wasn't certain of the right attitude to take, especially in answer to an awkward question

UNCLE SAM TURNS BEANS
 OVER TO MEXICAN BEETLE

Washington July -(Speial) The release of the state of Ala bsma from quarantine on account or the Mexican bean beetle, very de- structive crop pest. was announced today by the federal horticultural board of the United States depart ment of agriculture. The order signed by Secretary Wallace became effective July 23. This action was decided, upon on account of recent developments in the scouting cam paign agains the beetle in the south, which showed a much greater present distribution than was estimated at the end of last season.
 At the time the quarantine order was promulgated. the infested area was believed to be confined to l3 counties in Alabama, and to cover an area of about $500 square miles. Scouting during the present summer shows that the beetle is present in injurious numbers over about 10000 square miles in the states of Ala bama, Georgia, and Tennessee, and is distributed, although as yet thin ly, over an additional 10000 square miles in these states. as well as In Kentucky and South Carolina.
 Latest reports show the insect to be within 10 miles of Florida. 1b miles or MlSsi6Sippl. miies oi NoIeH Carolina and 23 miles of Virginia. The varied nature of crops grown over this large territory renders the practical application of regulated quarantine difficult. if not impossi- ble. with the funds available, say officials of tn board. Moreover, material hardship, they believe, would be occasioned to the general agricultural development of this re- zion should such quarantine be en- forced
 It is evident. officials say, from the present distribution of this in sect east of the Mississippi river eith- CT, that the rate of spread is much greater than was originally believed possible. or that the original intro duction took place at date several years earlier than reports would i'm dicate. In either case. the continua- ton of the quarantine was thought unjustifiable in the light of present information, as the economic loss through it's enforcement would moro than counterbalance the gain.

UNDERWOOD DON'T WANT FARMERS TO BE FOOLED

washinrton July 2S.-(SpeiaL) The Norris bill, which would create a S1OO.0O0,0O0 corporation TOT the exnortation of agricultural crops, cannot greatly effect crop move ments this year. Senator Underwood, who supports the bill. doesn't want the farmers to be fooled.
 He stated the case in the 1ollow- ing language:
 Now, 1 wish to say a IeW wofuS concerning my reasons for supporuhs the agricultural bill It may De go ing long way to lend federai money to corporation. but we nave ioanea a billion dollars or more to the shlp- ping corporation; we have loaned a large amount of money to corpora tions organized to take care or rail- road credits; and this is a bill 10 organize d S10O, ,0Oe,U00 corporation, with a loaning capacity 10 issue bonds of S1OO 100000 to aid Tn the financing of the crops of the coun- try.
 "As I said the other day, l am nos 40 optimistic as to claim that this bill is going to be effective to any great extent in connection with IT. nancing the crop this fall, for It Will take time to get 1t into operation. and l am not gong to Hoiu out " those I represent that am going 10 do something for them at this time that probably will not be accom- plished. If I did. it would only cre- ate a disappointment and probably affect the usefulness of the bill in the future; but l think the great dif- ficulty with agriculture is the es- tablishment of it's markets, co-ordi- nation of effort In trying to reach the markets, marketing the crop, and I think this bill will be helpful along that line. I am willing to give it a trial. and should like to see the effort made now
 "A great many pieces of wild leg islation. that do not think can be effective, are offered to relieve the present situation. and l am not will ing to vote for them. The adminis- tration of this bill will be under government control take 1t that

the government is not going to waste the money, and that the President of the United States will appoint capable and efficient men that at least will take care of the gov ernment's money and not have It wasted; so I do not think We are endangering the government finances to any extent. The bill may be help ful and an, effort to inject another bill in it's way right now-l care not how important the other biil IS may mean the ultimate defeat or this bill.
