CHAPTER yXXVI

Chatty was very subdued all day
long. she did not want TO lose
her position. She did not want 70
lose the friendship Of the girls. 1t
hurt her, somehow, that Winnie
had turned on her SO.
She knew Winnie would have
gone to the roadhouse with Mr..
Van in a minute II he had asked
her.
Perhaps that was why she was
so madl" thought Chatty. Be
cause he took someone elsel' I.
His daughter and a friend Of his
daughterl Did Mr.. Van think he
had put that over? There was a
cure for that. If he did,
She had written n anonymous
letter, doing her duty" and she
could write another.
Eut something inside of Chatty
whispered caution. Il is one thing
to send an anonymous letter when
no one accuses you Of being a trou-
BILE maker. With this fracas just
over, If Mr.. Van knew an anony-
nous letter came to his wife, he'd
probably fire her out Of hand.
without waiting to make sure she
wrote il.
He wasn't going to fire herl That
was just a threat! She knew too
much.
It was bravado, and in her heart
Chatty knew 1t was bluff. She
was thoroughly frightened. But
| she comforted herself with the
thought that it was all a mistake.
That she had really talked too
much. or that she had Jumped al
an unjustified conclusion, that she
had no right to repeat what she
had seen, even II IL had been true.

Billie came to her switchboard
at lunch time. Come eat with me,
Chatty dearl" she begged. I'm
lonesome
That was just like Billie. To
be nice 10 people when they needed
It, "A flood OF gratitude TO her
real friend came over Chatty
Only i hope she won't want tc

thought.

Mexicans residing in the United States who are
thinking Of returning to their homeland and settling
on one Of the colonization projects now being offered
Rgriculturists may not be making such a wise move
move after all. La Prensa. Spanish language newspaper
printed at San Antoio warns through a special article

The article is displayed with a two column head
indicating the editors consider the matter Of consider
able importance.
The writer suggests that unless careful investigation
is made before accepting a colonization offer the move
may only lead TO the brink Of misery an infinite
number of Mexican families, who. thinking to find
hetterment inin our republic. will be only a tragic car
AVIAN of compatriots who will lament all the rest Of
their lives"
Senior Vidal writes:

country to give himself to the cultivation OF the land.

among other considerations. the following:
IF he is exempt from having to profess some par
ticular political faith. which may be more damaging
than boil weevil in cotton or the Mediterranean Fly
itself.
If his implements now in use can be used on the
lands where he intends to establish.
If the cost Of production Of the various crops will
leave any good margin Of profit.
IF the national CMexican) market Is capable Of
absorbing the crops with profit to the producer.
IF the local markets Of the region have SUFFICIENT
demand to consume crops that are not exportable to
other consuming centers. There are numerous crops
that can be sold only in places near where they are
produced.
IF the National Railways are c~onceding special
freight rates to transport cereals, fruits. vegetables,
cattle. eggs. etc.
Concerning irrigated land-it must be considered
how waters are distributed. the cost Of such, etc.

Further, the colonist should consider that the
United States whose markets consume the greater
States agriculture by increasing the tariff on vegeta-
bles. cattle, and other products. And If this country
the u. 81 should soon enforce such a law. Mexican
agriculture will suffer enormous damage. The con-
sequences are clear.
Regarding agricultural production for other in
dustries, the colonist needs to be informed II ne will
be able to get cheap packages for transportation, or
II he will have to import them from the United States.
This is OF great Importance, because fruits well pre-

Developments in Automobile
 Field as Described by Agents

were turned out Of the same factory March l, 1929, and sold to retail purchasers March Is. Nine months later. on December 15. are these two cars of the same age?
 Not necessarily. Car 4 has tray elcd 750p miles and car B has done 10000 miles. If you were buy ing either one as a used car. you would choose the one that had GOV cred the least distance, The point is, the real age Of an automobile is not its time-agc but its mileage. There. in lies one Of the greatest advan- tag"s Of the Graham-Paige four speed transmission for when one O. these four-speod models has trav- eled 10,0o0 miles, its engines has made only as many revolutions as the engine of a three-speed car has made at 750o miles. In other words, mile for mile. the four-speed car ages 25 per cent slower than d threc-specd car
 "The four-spced drive, which Graham Paige Was first to intro duce, has actually an improvement. The average engine revolutions per mile Of e American siNes and eights with three speeds forward. is 3221. The average of fOur-spced Graham Paige cars is only 2Goo revolutions per mile. The Paige engine thus saves 621 revolutions in every mile, gain of 25 per cent: a fur ther important factor of economy is that its engine speed also is re- duced 25 per cent. Fewer and slow CT revolutions summarizes one ad- vantage Of four speeds in four words, Thus when four-speel Graham-Paigo and threo-speed car have both covered 10000 miles the mileage Of the Graham-Paig2 is only 7500."

l93S last week and found a half dozen backficld prospects who ap- peared capable of displacing most of his varsity veterans. He describ- cd them as "big and strong, fast and shifty," and expressed a fervent wish that they were available this season.
 There were several lnemen in the Purple Cubs squad who appeared made to order for the wide hole in the center of the varsity's forward wall but they, like the backs, must establish a years residence at Holy Cross before they come into O'Don- nell's charge.
 Working with the material al hand, it is evident that Holy Cross will have it's usual gritty eleven this season. O'Donnell has Captain Stuart Clancy back to hold down the tullbaIk's post and Harry O'Bovle, the former Notre Dame star, now acting as backfield coach. has a gen. crous supply of candidates for the other positions.
 Few of the ball carriers. however have been thoroughly seasoned, but several, notably Henry Baker, young 1S0- pounder, should improve with every game. Baker is tn best kicker on the Purple squad, putting better than 60 yards in practice. ODonnen hopes he will be able to better 40 yards in an actual game. Captain Clancy is an able punter under fire and he booted the Purple cut of some nasty holes last season.
 Phil O'Connell, another neWCom- CT, seems to have a firm grip on one of the halfback posts and Hank Garrity. who played often last sea- son, will probably be his running mate. Both promise to be skillful c.l running plays and each has his share of passing ability, an asset that is being further developed by 0 Boyle, who has added some ot Hnute Rockne's stuff to the Holy Cross attack. Finn, the outstanding quarterback prospect, appears well cast in this combination. He is above average ill running, kicking and passing possibilities.
 The most serious problem appears to be the center and guards. Few cf the candidates possess enough weight for those important positions
 Holy Cross opens it's 1n-game season next Saturday against St. Johns of Brooklyn. It will play it's annual objective games with Har- ward, Brown, Fordham and Boston college as well as such teams as Rutgers, Providence. Marquette, Boston university and Springfield,
