TIME-sERviNc SERVICE

A young woman, who had come
from another state to teach in high
school in a southern Indiana town,
stepped into q shoe store in that
town one day to buy pair of OK
fords. The young man clerk who
removed her shoe noticed that she
was wearing black pumps and hose,
but that on one leg she wore over
the black stocking a tan one from
which the foot had been cut. The
clerk was nonplused until he
learned the reason for the arrange
ment. She asked to be shown both
tan and black shoes. When she
tried on the black oxford, she rolled
the tan stocking up out of sight.
When she tried on tan one, she
lowered the tan stocking to fit into
the top of the oxford. The clerk
kept his head and sold her a pair
of oxfords.

who were absent, will bring in a
minority report. 1t is more
probable that they will either re-
quest the committee on agricul-
ture to introduce the bill as q
committee measure, which would
place it before the house with
the same advantage as that Of
the Wilkinson bill, or move to
substitute the Dahle-Moen bill
for the Wilkinson bill
when the latter comes up for
consideration on the floor Of the
house.
Whatever course is followed,
there is sure to be a big fight
over the bill or bills on the floor
Of the house, and the result is
in doubt. The supporters of the
Wilkinson bill made a tactical
blunder in the committee room
when they cut short the debate
and refused to allow Representa-
tive DAZZLE to answer the argu-
ments of the Wilkinson faction
at Thursdays meeting. That
made an unfavorable impression
upon legislators who are not
members of the committee on
markets and marketing and will
doubtless be used to good advan-
tage by speakers against the Will
kinson bill on the floor of the
house.
The Wilkinson bill was slightly
amended before it was reported
back to the house. but it's essen
tial features are the same as in
the beginning. 1t provides for a
commission of three salaried off,
Gals, who may appoint an execu-
tive secretary and such other
assistants as may be needed.
The governor appoints the COM
missioners for six year terms.
The Dahle-Moen bill provides
for one salaried official. to be
known as the director of rural
credits, and provides that the
commissioner of agriculture and
the attorney general shall serve
with him on the rural credits
board. 1t is further provided
that all applications for loans be
made through the county audit
ors and the farm offered as
security for loans shall be first
appraised by local men.

 The volume of air traffic between London and the Continent in 1922 was nearly three times as great as that of 1921, and it was found that the exist ing air station arrangements were in- adequate.
 Additional ground will be taken over and built upon, and the new scheme provides for separate arrival and de- parture platforms for the main air lines and the doubling of present land ing space.
 Larger offices, customs depots and waiting rooms will be grouped around the platforms, while dominating the whole will be huge wireless tower to supply latest weather and atmospheric reports.
