Fig Shipments Held Up

[ IOPEFUL exporters shipped about 5000, 600
pounds of figs to this country last year,
but the eagle eye of Uncle Sans food inspec.
ton service held up at least IS per cent o1
the shipments because of substandard conda-
tions. The more than 100000 pounds de-
tained were held up primarily because Of
worminess, moldiness, short weight or failure
to supply the necessary certificate of sanitary
handling.
Bad as that figure was from the exporters
point of view it was better than that of the
previous year for in 1880 at least third Of
the importations were held up.

He stalked away.
couple of 12-year-olds? Miss Ferber you
said mouthful
DOLLY was to have ample time for the long
long thoughts of youth about Serious
Things. She and Zach had quarreled before,
but always made it up in the taxicab.
Many happy home has been set up because
of the taxi drivers habit of Slowing around
corners and throwing shy quarreling lovers
into each others arms. Many a happy home
has been broken up by the same habit, too,
but this isn't that kind of story.
This time there wasn't any taxicab and she
and Zach clenched their grievances separately
to their resentful hearts, with no sudden bump
of body to body to loosen that clutch. They
were both not only angry, but just terribly,
terribly hurt.
Why, thought Polly at considerable length,
should Zach get all hot and bothered when
she had just merely suggested he ought to
think about life and have ideas about some
thing besides wise-cracking and who would
win the world SERIES for instance.
AS Miss Ferber said, youth was the hope of
the world and a girl certainly had a right to
try and make man realize he could at least
pay little attention to big problems once in

while. And he knew perfectly well she
hadn't called him q dumb-a moron or said
he was IL years old, but simply that she meant
we all ought to use our beans-our minds and
be our age instead Of acting like IL years old.
Well, If he was going to take it that way,
1t probably proved he wasn't much more than
that old and it was Just as well she found it
out, because wouldn't it be terrible to be mar
ried to a moron and not find it out until after
ward? And having him saying Check" and
Yeah and you said it," and knowing you
couldn't have any intelligent conversation with
him about the real things of life
So she guessed she was lucky and if he didn't
come around and apologize it would be SO
much velvet with all the time she'd have to
study and read up on youth movements and
how to save the world and such. And if he
did come around and apologize
Polly had lots of time to plan her technique
on that too, for Zach didn't come around to
apologize, and though Polly was first to the
telephone when it rang at home or in the shop
zach's warm voice didn't come wise-cracking
over the wire.
BY the time she realized Zach wasn't going
to call, she was too injured to give him ring
and after day or two more of brooding over
the situation, she sighed, Well that's that
and with the normal resiliency of youth took
up cheerfully and enthusiastically the task of
fitting herself for the Youth Movement Yeah?
Zach's thoughts, after the row, weren't long,
but they were intense. "A 12-year- old eh?
That's what she thought? Well that's oke
Well leave 1t lay like it looks I'm not gonna
crawl on my hands and knees and beg her to
kick this poor sap again. I'm through. If
she calls up I'll simply say"
That particular train of thought was side
tracked by phone call when Zach still steam
ing, arrived at his brothers fat It was an
important call, and had to do with the Real
Things of Life. AS well see later

do you rush the gift in its Drown

fold a piece of mussy ti%ssue-paper
canelessly around it, tie it with a

you do right by the present you

Before you wrap up your pres

You've no idea what enchantment
a fresh flower can add to a pack
age. Or have you already found
that out?
For the wedding and engage
ment presents, choose white bios
soms-gardenias, daisies, camel
las, lilies-of-the-valley. For the
hospital flowers, be careful first of
all to pick out some that are not
too heavily scented, as the linger-
ing odor of ether is quite enough
fragrance, thank you. Gay flowers
are best tied to these gifts, and if
you're taking something to the
mother, you might attach a rider"
for the baby-a tiny, tiny bouquet
made up of the daintiest little
flowers. The son and heir may not
appreciate it, but his mother will.
For birthday presents you can
use almost any flower that takes
your fancy-and tie i. in any color.
Thank fortune we're getting away
from the too : conventionalized
wrapping. But when you tie these
blossoms onto the packages, have
them made up, if possible, in a
corsage. Yes, even for Jean in the
hospital. She might like to pin it
on her nightie-or float it, lotus
like, in q fiat bowl on the bedside
table.

She looked at him with tragic
eyes. The water was dripping off
him leaving little pools on the dry
sand, but he was quite calm and
unmoved, quietly talking to the
boy.

They watched him scuttle away
out of sight like a scared rabbit,
too frightened even to remember
to say thank you.
Anderson glanced down at his
sodden clothes.
"Well, I've ruined my suit after
ALL" he said comically.
Sondra made no reply; she was
biting her lip to keep from trem-
bling. She felt as if something
within her heart was breaking
as if presently she would have to
give way to the tears that were
choking her.
Anderson saw the pallor of her
face.
I'm sorry if you were scared
he said rather stiffly. There was
never any real danger. / was

boy had the good sense not to

tucked away in a sheltered corner;
the door stood wide open and there
seemed to be nobody about.

He disappeared upstairs, and
Sondra went into the little sitting
room.
She sat down in a low chair and
leaned her head back against the
cushions.
IF John had been drowned =
she could not drive the thought
from her mind. She felt that she
could never bear to look at the sen
again.
She did not move till she heard
him coming down the stairs, then
with an effort she opened her eyes
and sat up.
John came into the room smil-
ing and cheerful in an old flannel
coat and trousers that badly need
ed pressing.
"They're all I could find" he
apologised. when Ellen comes
back she'll soon get my other
things dry. Not exactly smart arc

She tried to answer, but no
words would come and he looked
at her in surprise.

She began to sob broken-heart-

NEW FORMULA FOR
PENALTY

Associated Press Staff Writer

@H6ff 80
Leslie E. Rowell of Berkeley,
Calf, has a method of computing
the total penalty for doubled NOT
vulnerable undertricks at contract
which he thinks is easier than one
now in wide use.
He starts with the figure one
and keeps adding successive digits
until he reaches the number of
tricks set, then repeats the last
figure, multiplying the total by
so. For instance, down five:
One plus two plus three plus
four plus five plus five (repeated)
equals 20, which multiplied by so
equals 1000, the penalty for five

To. Sondra's agonized eyes it
was a nightmare of unreality-
the smooth sea, hardly broken BY

She looked back desperately for
help, but the long sun-bathed
sands were deserted, and behind
her the beach stretched f~orbidding
and empty.
Hardly knowing what she did,
she waded into the sea, and as il
sensing her intention Anderson
turned his head and shouted to
her to go back. There was a
heavy ground swell in spite of thu
unbroken surface, and Sondra's
skirt hampered her, making it diff

Possibly some players will find
that method easier than beginning
with two and stopping with a fig
ure one higher than the number of
tricks set, as for a set of five:
Two plus three plus four plus five
plus six; multiplied by so equals
1000.
Instead of multiplying the total
by so in either case one can divide
by two and add one cipher or two
