according 10 veteran shippers Of
the Valley, who state that the
Marsh seedless deal bids fair to
prove most disastrous unless or

citrus holdings.
To quote one Of the old-time
shippers:
mot until we came TO ship
Marsh seedless did we realize how
small the aizes of this variety Of
fruit was running. We knew the
Duncan variety was running
smaller than usual. but due to the
TACT that the Duncan was the first
on the market. with the conse-
quent early season demand, we
paid little attention to the reasons
underlying the smallness Of the
fruit.
Large Fruit Rare
However, when we came to

u. S. weather bureau at Browns
vile, tells the Herald that the
Valley has not had a real soak

8 inches fell during the month.
AS a natural result, the subsoil
does not contain the usual amount
of moisture, and IL is from this

trees derive their sustenance,
EchnurbuSch states.
Comparative rainfall figures for
the past four years for September
bear out the theory advanced by
Valley shippers and by Schnur-
busch.
Rainfall Slight
September rainfall as shown by
the weather bureau records has
been as follows: l.43 inches, 1881;
ESQ inches, 1880; 5.16 inches, 1929;
8-9l inches, 1923 and 4.82 inches
In 1927.
July and August rainfall in 1881
compares favorably with the rec

bureau records show.
However. S~chnurbuSch raises an
other point which will Sc ant
further for the deficiency in sub
soil moisture this year.
Growers have not irrigated
their orchards during the past
summ> as often as they did in
previous years, and when they have
irrigated. they have not put as
much water on the land as they
used to-" he states.
This theory of less irrigation is
born out by the bureau records of
the stages Of the Rio Grande
during the past summer months.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

A young married business woman Of
our acquaintance the other day made
q surprising request. She asked her
employer whether she might be per-
mitted to take three days in April Of
her two weeks holiday due her this
Summer. It was not particularly re-
markable to want to have the holiday
in April. But she said she wanted to
have the time now so that she could
attend to Spring housekeeping, which
could not very well be put off until
July or August.
The employer has agreed to this ar
rangement, but he does not entirely APP
prove. There is no more reason why
a married woman should take time to
do Spring housekeeping than why q
man should do so, and an employee he
says Is given vacation SO that she
can get complete rest to enable her
to do better work afterward. She has
no right TO use that rest period firing
herself all out with any sort of house,
work.

ognized. Those which can be recog-
nized through taste. such as tiny atoms
Of soap, bring down storms of protest
from members of a household. From
Il is fact, a housewife is particular to
rinse soapy dishes in hot water, not
alone to make them easy to dry and to
sterilize them, but to soak of any wee
bit of soap that might remain.
There are other agents than soap,
however, which are not so easily de-
tectable, but which are far more detri-
mental to health. Particles of metal or
spots of liquid (Which would dissolve
in other liquids or by heat) may mingle
with foods If these occurrences were
frequent, which can easily be the case
as cooking utensils and dishes are used
three times day, then danger is pres
ent.
These words of warning are against
careless usage of cleansing agents on
kitchenware and dining room dishes
The agents themselves are excellent. II
is heedlessness in their usage that Is
aEader discussion.

have q letter from an indignant
parent who wants TO know If the public
schools are not intended TO serve the
public and he wants me to say yes, or to
say no.
phatically they are to serve the public,
the whole public, in the cause of edu-
cation. I have spent the best part of a
lifetime in the public schools of the city
of New York. / have met many par
| entS, many teachers and an army of
children. I have had rough weather
and smooth sailing and Gains through
out my experience but have yet to
meet the teacher, the school, that was
not doing the best possible under the
circumstances in the service of the pub
lie and its children.
Many an irate parent has come into
my Office, many q hurt and angry
teacher has come there to explain the
| difficulty to the outraged parent. Sell
dom, so seldom that 1 could count the
times on my fingers, has parent left
the school believing the teacher and the
school unjust or disloyal.
The very nature of q teachers work
brings her close to the heart Of human
ity Only the m.sfit teacher, and she
Is scarce, can live with children day
after day and not become attached to
them. Soon she is holding her breath
to sustain the effort the struggling little
one Is making in his flrst attempt to
| write. She Is anxiously scanning his
record to see II he went UP O point or
down one. She Is roofing for him with
might and main, and It Is with difficulty
that she restraints herself from actually
doing the hard things for him. He has
become her personal charge, and she
has assumed q peculiar relationship to
him that draws him to her as child. to
his mother. Only a mother is closer to
a child thar his teacher
| When the child is slow, she prods him
| along and keeps at him Until she gets
him up to where he ought TO be, If that
Is humanity possible. When he is sick
/ she visits him. When he is naked she
| clothes him. When he Is In sorrow she
comforts him. When he is wrong she
rights him. To the teacher the school
day has no limites nor her field any set
fences. So long as she Is needed, she
| serves.
Sharp tongued3 Sometimes. Wrongq
Sometimes. Rigid7 Sometimes. But
diSloyal to her ideals? DiSloyal to the

teachers stand for what Is best in the

up the hands Of the leaders and cru
saders. It Is they who stand shoulder
TO shoulder IN the struggle to maintain
the ideals of the forefathers and make
this land truly free, truly great, a fine
place to be born In, o fine place to grow
In, a fine place TO work in.

their faces, nevertheless It Is true that
some of them might justly claim the
title OF adventurer. II they cared TO
tell you of some Of their experiences
then the fictional diplomat might pale
by comparison.
There is. for example, the Honorable
Michael MacWhite. minister of the
Irish Free State. Here Is a man who
was trained in pedagogy, but who has
lived through ABOUT the most adven-
turous type Of military activity. He en-
listed In the French Foreign Legion
during the World War, and went out to
Serbia, then swept by the Austrian In
vasion.
He is q North Ireland man, but sym
pathiZed with the South. He cast his
lot with the Irish Free State when 1t
was formed, instead OF with the Ulster
side.
And there's the Polish minister, Tytlls
Filipowicz. Prison escapes and Danish
ments dot his career. He has been
harried and hunted as were so many
of those who aspired to revolt under
the Russian car. Born in Russian
Poland, he was from his earliest youth
involved with promotion Of the Polish
nationalist movement.
He fought with Marshal PilsudSki's
casus as chief Of q Polish mission.
Caught In the Bolshevik flood. he pass
ed several months In a Red prison, and
was later deported. But after the peace
Of Riga, he was sent to Moscow as the
first Polish minister to the Soviet State.
Col Orestes Ferrara, the Cuban Am
bassador, Is another whose life has been
colorful. He began his career as q
soldier Of fortune, and won international
fame as liberal leader. Famous as a
revolut:onist, he was known on two
continents as o duelist
A Neapolitan by birth. Col. Ferrara
was inspired to cast his lot with the

fought under the standard Of Maxine

victorious struggle with the rank Of

When the macaroni was tender it was
