EntGnie tUere young.
7 IFE in a. Middle West CITY, the wife Of
young salesman for an automobile firm,
was not the glamorous picture Emanie had
drawn for herself on those occasions when she
let her mind reach into the future beyond her
SNUG present And that salesman one who had
certain reactionary views that were rather
frightening.
In the abstract 1t could scarcely be said that
the opportunity to marry Thomas Vaughan was
the rosy one that should have attracted her
response, except for one great factor.
Emanie was in love with Thomas. He was
the sort Of man she could visualize with thrill,
as the husband of her household, the father
of her children, the dear close confidant Of
every aspect of her life. He had qualities that
in a man were precious to her. Vigor, gen.
tleness, intelligence and charming laissez
faire. This last she told herself, his easy
going capacity to let tomorrow take care OF
itself, was what going to stand In his
way of an ultimate big material success in
life. But, just the same, it kept him sweet
and unshrewd and gentle In the way that was
so appealing to her.
For three months Emanie dallied with the
idea of marrying Thomas, torn between the
conflicting elements of what was undoubted
attraction; her practical knowledge OF his
shortcomings; her dread of the monotony of
what a routine life would mean, and her how
ering sense of the folly of throwing away her
freedom and economic independence.
In the end her Judgment and what she
called her common sense, and her distaste for
the sordidness Of the routine of comparative
poverty, stacked up against what she called
her schoolgirl romanticism, and one morning,
in the Middle West city, Thomas received the

Afterward, as Emanie told herself, she
realised 70 what extent she had lowered on
the edge Of folly. Once the letter had been

bondage, came flowing to hedge her further

Freight Cars and Trucks.

ONE system Of shipment of fresh fruits and
vegetables which gave promise at one time
OF developing into q regular, large-scale meth

will limit its growth to small cities of the
Western Rocky Mountain and Southern re-
gions. The system in question is the mixed

Of various kinds of produce are gathered to-
gether in one car for shipment to smaller mar
kets, where carload lots of the individual fruits
and vegetables would be too great for the mar

survey conducted by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economies has revealed that since
1922 the annual mixed-car shipments have in
creased from 10000 cars to approximately
$4,000 in 1929, yet the future of this type of
shipment Is none too promising.
The advantages of the mixed-car shipment
are to be found in the lower freight rates pos
sible through the shipment of less than car
lo9d lots in q SINCE car at one rate sometimes
based on the rate of the highest rated article
in the shipment, but, nevertheless at saving
from the total cost of the shipment at less
than carload rates on the individual shipments.

Dealers in the smaller towns and cities,

~ the bright patter about economic
independence of women. It was won
derful to belong so irrefutably to q
world Of women which had asserted its right
to venture unchallenged into certain fields Of
work-a-day activities hitherto reserved for the
exploits of men.
II any one had out and out asked Emanie If
she were a suffragette, her reply would have
been evasive, non-commital and unconsciousy
not quite honest.
One did not have to be so stern and I'M

did not intend to let herself get strong mind

who defeated their own cause; antagonized the
men and alienated the women.

HUGE TELEPHONE MERGER PLANNED
7ransamerica Corporation About to Combine With Gary Interests

New York, Oct. (UP)-Entrance of the Transamerica corporation, billion dollar bank holding company of the Giannini interests, into the field of international telephony through the formation of General Telephone and Electric corporation has been announced.
 Present plans call for a combina- ton through the new concern of Transamerica's large resources with the business of the Associated Tele- phone and Telegraph company now managed by Theodore Gary & Com pany and British interests.
 Associated Telephone and Tele- graph company now controls or has interest in properties located in the United States, England, Canada, Philippine Islands, Colombia, Ven ezuela, Belgium, Portugal, India, Hong Kong, Australia and other countries. Negotiations are also un- der way for the establishment of manufacturing facilities in France.
 Authorized capital of General Tel ephone will comprise 5,000.000 shares of capital stock. of which Transamerica and the Gary interests will take over s20,000,000 and Brit ish and other associates S6,000,000 as a permanent investment. Prop critics of the associated company are valued at s75,O00.OO0.
 Will Rival Bell
 Bankers for General Telephone claim the company will control and operate more telephones than any privately owned company with the exception of the Bell system. In some quarters it was felt that the General concern would become a po- tential rival of the International Tel ephone and Telegraph corporation, which has huge interests in most South and Central American coun- tries as we'll as in many European states.
 Associated Telephone at present supplies the stronger automatic dial system for the governments of the United States and Canada as well as for the Canadian Bell system. The Domestic Bell system also uses it extensively.
 Officials of the new General Tele- phone and Electric corporation will include H. l.. Gary. president of the Theodore Gary company, chairman; A. F. Adams, chairman of the Gary company president; and Elisha Walker. chairman of Transamerica, as chairman of the executive com mittee.
 Directors will include L. M. Gian-

LAW GROUP BEGINS
 FUNCTI0N|NG AGAIN
Prohibition Director W0OdCOCk'S
 Report Will Be Studied

Washington, Oct. ' (UP)-Presi- dent Hoovers law enforcement com- mission resumes it's work this week with the subject of prohibition in volved in another phase of contro- versial discussion, this time concern ing the amount of the nations boot leg liquor production.
 Fl The commission which meets again "Wednesday after recess since June, will be in possession of the formal report of Prohibition Director Wood- cock estimating that about seven gallons of bootleg or home made in toxicants are being produced now annually for every man. woman and child in the United States.
 It seemed probable today that those campaigning for repeal of the 18th amendment would dispute the Woodcock figures. Last week the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment estimated the nations liquor consumption at HOO, ,000,00 gallons as compared to Woodcock's S76,33S,71S gallons.
 Prohibition is not the only subject under consideration by the commits sion and new research will be out lined after the hearing of sub-com- mittee reports as the commission convenes. There are indications the commission soon will investigate horse and dog race betting, although this matter has not come before the full committee of ten men and one woman.
 The Woodcock report estimated the liquor consumption 10 years after prohibition as about 20 per cent of what the American people were Consuming before adoption of the 18th amendment. Of the aggregate bootleg production Woodcock at tributed only 73.3S6,71S gallons to spirits. Wine was estimated at 1lS,- 476,200 gallons and beer at 6S4.- 476,S00 gallons.
