After lunching with James Quirk the other day, I
became curious about some small item concerning his
biography, and looked him up in Who's Who in
America. HI isn't there!
I don't know what the comment appropriate to
that situation is. 1 spoke to one of Jim's old-time
friends about it, and he said, II suppose it's his mod
esty. Just as likely as not he was asked for a bio
graphical sketch, and was too embarrassed to furnish
it,"
Jim Ouirk, it seems to me, rates Who's Who. He
is one of the three or possibly four ablest magazine
editors in the United States. He is one OF the Few
editor-publishers who can and does write well. He
took Photoplay when it was a sick baby, and built IL
up to-well, what it is now. He Is said to have re-
fused two and a half million dollars for it. He Is
making a notable success of Smart Set.

He has a very pleasing personality. and makes
friends easily. He has a persuasive manner OF speech
and I'm sure he would have made a great success as
a salesman.
There are certain attractive forms of enunciation,
coupled with voice tone and speaking personality that

uals have made. 1 suppose a man can succeed with
IA harsh voice, unpleasant enunciation, and brusque
manner, but he certainly does it under an immense
jim Quirk has an Irish broadness in his
novels that is remindful Of George Russell, and this
is coupled with something else which must be Bos-
ton. For he was reared in Boston-and, he once told
me, he was the only American-born child in his room
at school.
The story of Jim Ouirk is a Horatio Alger success
story, but I'm not going to try to tell it here. It'll
take a volume, some day.
What it has in it that I'd like to pass along here
and now is Just this point about the Importance of
pleasant speech. A smile and a we'll modulated voice

Extending the Shipping

The limited embargo placed upon Lowed tlo
Grande Valley citrus fruit by the U. s. department
of agricultural in connection with the Mexican frult
worm campaign would have proved a great hardship
,,non Valley fruit growers had the department. failed
IN extend the shipping season from February 70 TO
March %.
modification Of the embadgo was secured through
active cooperation Of Valley residents IN destroying
secondary host fruit trees. Growers took an ac1lVe
interest in the cleanup campaign OF secondary hosts
fruits and also in the Valley-wide drive TO Destroy
Fallen citrus fruit. Had they failed to cooperate the
modification could not have been secured and Valley
growers would have sustained severe losses.
valley fruit production next season will increase
from 100 to $50 per cent. In other woros instead "a
being confronted with the problem of marketing p
ooo cars. the Valley will have around 5000 cars. IL IS
obvious that another extension of the shipping sea-
son. possiblv to May l, will be necessary to prevent
loss to growers.
To secure this extension it will be necessary to
complete the cleanup Of secondary host frult trees
Those remaining will be more difficult to get rd OF
that were the thousands left after the original drive
IN the autumn Of 1927. when the limited embargo was
first established. To get rid OF these secondary hoSI
fruit trees should be the objective Of every Valley
grower. as these trees will, if not destroyed, prove Sc
rio1s. and probably fatal handicap to securing an
other extension.
IF a thorough cleanup of secondary host trees can
be Accomplished during the spring and summer
months. application can be made for an extension
before the next shipping season opens. II the extern
sion is granted, as it doubtless will be, it would prove
of great value to growers and shippers In establish
ing their marketing upon a more orderly basis. Fail
ure to secure the extension would result in forced
dumping of large shipments during the latter part OF
the season.
That the lower Rio Grande Valley must extend its
fruit shipping season and seek wider markets is very
apparent. Those who have watched development OF
the industry realize that if it is to be placed upon a
highly profitable basis every obstacle to wider mar
kets and longer season must be removed. Prepare
lions for marketing the next crop should start now,
and one of the most important moves in this direc-
ton is to assure extension Of the season at least 80
days.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
The Federal Building

n, The action of the Brownsville Chamber of Com
fnerce in petitioning Congressman John N. Garner
and the Texas senators to aid this city in the effort
to secure a new federal building, and the opposi-
ton the chamber voiced in regard to the postal de-
partments plans to expend 100000 on remodeling the
old structure will meet the approval of Brownsville
people.
1t is the general belief that expenditures of 100000
on the old federal building, erected in 1890, would be a
waste of funds: that within five years it would be
necessary for the government to erect a new building
to take care of the rapidly increasing businss which
is being generated in all departments of the federal
government located here.
Brownsville deserves and should have a new led
raj building. The present structure was erected when
tn city had a population of approximately 5000. The
next census is expected to show five times that num-
Der; and in addition, the building Is now serving one
of the most intensively developed areas in the United
States.
The present building already has passed the allot-
ed span for such structures. That 1t represents the
very highest degree of the builders art of the early
COS is conceded; but to thoroughly modernize it and
enlarge it sufficiently to meet the requiremnts OF the
next 10 or 20 years would be impossible.
Brownsville is Just attaining her stride in develop
ment. That the next decade will witness progress
such as was believed impossible a few years ago is
generally conceded. Any building program under
taken now should be with a view to the future, and
it is obvious that to remodel the old federal building
would be merely a temporary makeshltt.
Brownsville's request for a S5OO,OOO building Is
made in good faith. If the business leaders OF the city
were not thoroughly convinced that the rapid devel-
opment of the city and contiguous territory would
render the proposed remodeled building obsolete al
most before the work could be completed, they would
accept the proposal of the department. They 1eel tnat
the present business of the various governmental de-
partrnents here ~justifies the larger expenditure and
that it will mean a new building is necessary TO meet

CHAPTER XIX

Betty conversation with Mr..
Smith, her former employer, ended
with his advice not to get desper-
ate and marry. 1t had been given
with a laugh, but she knew that his
matrimonial experiment had not
been satisfactory. She doubted if
hers would be if she married
George, because she thought she
should, rather than because she
wanted to.
Leaving Mr.. Smith, she again
went to look over that salvation of
the jobless. the help wanted col
umns Of the papers. She found an
advertisement of the United Hotel
Supply company for a secretary.
The ad was to be answered by let
ter, and nc personal calls were al
lowed. 1t also specified that full
particulars must be given in the
first letter and samples of tipping
and penmanship submitted.
Betty answered the ad to the
best of her ability, and sent with
her application the letter of recon-
mendation from Mr.. Smith. She
had little hope Of securing the po-
Sition and was in doubt whether to
enclose the letter, lest it. be lost,
but finally did so, requesting that it
be returned to her Immediately If
her application vas not consid-
cred.
She tried for another place the
same afternoon, but the wages were
so low she would not consider the
position. The next morning the
postman brought her a letter from
the Hotel Supply company, asking
her to call at their offices at ten
thirty. She was one of three ap-
plicants they had asked to call.
She was elated at the prospect,
for she had not expected it. AT the
office at the proper time she was
told to see the chief clerk. He
was a business-like man who asked
her many questions. none of which,
however, developed her dancing
career. He had called Mr.. Smith
and that was what had influenced
him to send for her.
He picked up a newspaper from
his desk and dictated an editorial,
then asked her to trapscribe it. He
seemed satisfied with her work; he
told her he wanted a secretary for
the vice president. Before he as
signed her to this work he wanted
to try her out for himself. AS his
secretary was now acting as secre-
tary to the vice president, he
would be better able to tell if she
would do if she would work for him
for a day.
Her salary would depend entirely
on her. The company was very
particular about their employees
and wanted only those willing to
stay. Advancement was sure.
II am very anxious for the po-
sition," explained Betty. ut is ex-
actly what I am looking for.

bearing on this business.
