see something like this just once! Oh,
how I wish they couid! Some day
I'll do something big ana they'll be
invited everywhere, see everything"
She touched Raoul's arm, lightly.
"It's beautiful-beautiful!" she said,
half fainting with excitement. i've
read of these affairs. Cut-and-d dried
reports in the society columns, but
I never thought" Her thrilled
voice died away.
She saw few of the young men
presently she was dancing with them,
being cut in on about every 10 feet
=. just as Libby in her bright swirl
of petunia satin had been cut in on
that first night when she, Betsy, had
met these fashionable people. Raoul
stayed in the stag line watching her,
smoking in leisurely fashion. Like
all Spanish men, he nad an almost
sensuous way of lnhalng tobacco.
Once, when she caught his dark eyes
over her partners shoulder. just as he
had dreamed at her over the gardenias
of Jennie's dinner table, her breath
became tight in her throat.
He couldn't possibly be in love
with me-" she thought. frightened
by the intensity of his stare. "Peo-
pie don't fall in love 50 quickly" Yet
she knew how wrong that wasi She
had met Marshall the very first day
that he had started TO work in her
Office. She had gone TO the amuse-
ment park with him that evening
had gone on the steeplechase
the ferris wheel, in the midway-had
even ridden the painted lions on the
merry-go-round. A gloriously silly
wonderful evening! She hadn't slept
afterward for thinking OF him, re-
membering the dark waves of his hair
his soft, brown eyes, the way his lips
curved over his even teeth when he
smiled the clever things he said with
no effort at all. The rext night he
had told her that he loved her. And
not long after that he had asked her
to marry him.
1t was after / O'Clock when Raoul
cut in on Betsy. He held her close
in his arms, his lips on her golden
hair. He whispered INTO her ear: ''Te
quiero! Te quiero!" And though she
did not understand the foreign words
the infection of his voice made heI
| know that he had told her that he
loved her. Then he danced her
through the drawing room. across the
hall and rushed her excltedly down
the winding marble stairs to the
T library on the ground floor.
The big room was deserted and
Betsy, breathless from two hours of
dancing, sank to a Zig red leather
/ lounge. She thought, wcrriedly: Il
don't like mauling young men. ]
hope Raoul isn't that kino. But tell
ing a girl that he loves her and then
bringing her away from ball room
into this forsaken library"
| She said:
"Raoul I have never had such a
! glorious time It's been like :. Oh
Raoul! :. 1t has been heavenly"
His intense dark eyes we're on her
I'm glad" he said.
/ He didn't try to touch her. as she
had half expected him to. He put
his hands-of all places-in his pock'
cts. He looked quickly around tht
room. Then he said:
Wait right here for me, will you
If any one asks where I am say I'm
say I'm upstairs in the drawing
room. Will you?"
Betsy was startled. She jerked up
right. 1t wasn't so much what Raou
had said that frightened her. 1t wa!

climb, acceleration and speed. There
should also be chronoflite, spe-
cial eight-day clock for use In re-
cording separately any part Of the
distance Travelled. Naturally the we'll
equipped dash should carry an alti-
meter for recording height above sea
level and also grade meter to reveal
the go-ahead perforYnace uphill or
down. 1t goes without saying that
there should be a tachometer on the
dash to indicate the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute. Some
drivers might even prefer to add
a manifold pressure gauge. recently
saw an attractive one with luminous
dial and pointer listing for $55.
Just because the clutch pedal
should be let up slowly when start
ing in low is no reason to assume. 1t
should be given the same treatment
when shifting into second and high.
A faster clutch engagement is advis-
able when the car is under way. 1t is
necessary to smooth action. in the
higher speed shifts.
If you are starting on trip, let
me warn against having the motor
made quiet" Any noise you hear
now is likely due to the valve tappets
being set for a little more than the
normal clearance. When the valves
heat up on a trip, however, ex-
cessive clearance will be taken up.
Without enough clearance the valves
will not close tightly and will burn.
For those who motor camp "de lux
one of the smartest touches Is a
kitchenette that fits neatly on the
running board, held firmly in place
by special clamps. 1t features an
ice box, a compartment for ice water,
one for fruits and vegetables and
still another for dry staples. All of
which is just another reason why
engineers probably will continue to
have a diffcult time Of 1t discarding
the running board.
Complaints that the car was un-
comfortably hot on long drive
revealed the fact that the hot-water
heater had not been shut OH for
the Summer season. I explained to
the owner that this was job which
her service man could attend to in
a few minutes time 1t merely called
for turning a valve which is inserted
in the water hose leading to the
heater.
1t takes the discerning woman to
raise interesting questions regarding
the new things in car design. What,
she asks, will happen to the spare
tire that hides away in the tail OF
the streamlined car? Will it remain
normal or will it start to cook? What
should be done to the tire, if any
thing, to protect it against the high
temperatures inside this more or less
sealed compartment"

u. S. Brand Valued.

THE value of the Government brand
on meat has been put to a test at
Schenectady, N. Y. where, under a
local ordinance, 1t is compulsory that
meat bear the Federal label specifying
the quality Of the product. Reports
indicate that the system has met with
marked success, being acclaimed alike
by big and little purchaser. A definite
demand has developed for certain
types Of meat under this system.

Soil Conditions Better.

ONE of the indirect benefits of the
agricultural adjustment has beer
the improvement in soil conditions on
many farms.
To large extent. the acreage taken
out of production of the four basic
crops has been used for crops of vari-
GUS types of legumes and cover, or
grazing crops. The legumes have a
faculty of building up the soil and
the acres which would be depleted
in their fertility to some extent by the
original crop is benefited instead
by the growth of the legumes. In the
meantime. of course. the main objec-
tive of reducing the crop surpluses
has also been approached.

Two Chesapeake Boats.

TWO types of sailboat peculiar to
the Chesapeake waters are the
pugeye and the Chesapeake Bay
canoe. The latter is constructed with
a hull of three or five logs fastened
securely together and then smoothed
off into a hull which skins through
the water with great speed.
The bugeye is built much along the
line of other two-masted sailing YES
sells, but the masts, instead of stand
ing nearly vertical, are raked sharply
toward the stern. 1t, too, seems to
have considerable ability at making
speed with a fair wind.

Citrus Groves Growing.

FLORIDA appears to be destined to
have much larger citrus fruit
crops in the near future. Many young
trees are just beginning to come into
bearing, and as they attain maturity
in the next few years the crops are
expected to be increasingly heavy.
1t is estimated that the State has
14,300,000 bearing orange trees, of
which slightly more than half are
early varieties.
The grapefruit trees now number
more than 5,700,000. of which IS per
cent are early varieties.

GreecesSpeeds Wheat.

THE desire of European governments
to become as self-sufficient as pos
sible has led to tremendous increase
in the Grecian wheat crop. The esti-
mated crop of this year is 30,864, 900
bushels, an increase over the five
year average preceding it of $40 per
cent. Purchase of domestic wheat is
compulsory.

HELPFUL H|NTSFOR
WOMAN MOTOR|ST
Checking of Exhaust Sys-
tenn May Add to Comfort.
Many New Devices.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

An analysis of exhausts has shown
that two out of every three cars on
the road have some defect in the sys-
TEN that takes care of passing OF
the exhaust fumes. This not only
interferes with engine efficiency but is
a source of danger to the driver and
his passengers. Most dangerous are
the defects that develop ahead Of the
muffler because they are more apt
to permit exhaust gas to enter the
car body. These include leaky ex-
haust manifold gasketS. holes in the
exhaust pipe and leakage where the
muffier joins the exhaust pipe. If the
muff1er is clogged it will be apt to
hasten leakage between it and the
engine. A loose bracket will also en-
courage exhaust system troubles by
permitting this important aggrega-
ton of units to vibrate or actually
shake. Muff1ers frequently develop a
leaky seam. The tail-pipe may be
bent enough to cause trouble all along
the line.
The air cleaner has much more
work to do in Summer than in Win
ter, due to increased travel over dusty
roads. When it becomes clogged it
naturally offers little drag on the in
going air and may prevent the engine
from doing its best at time when
peak power is needed. Cleaners
should be removed and dipped first in
kerosene, then in light lubricating oil.
All this is messy work. so it is much
more practical to let the service sta
ton do it. Besides, if the cleaner and
silencer unit is not put back cor
rectly it may interfere with the
throttle control.

TRANSIT INCREASES
HELD GOOD SIGN
Six Per Cent Gain in 1885
Declared Indication of
Trade Recovery.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N j., Septem-
Der 23.-Citing a 6 per cent business
increase in the transportation indus
try, Frank r. Phillips, president Of
the American Transit Association,
said today there is reason to hope
the depression's low point has been
passed and that general business has
begun to climb out of the valley"
Phillips, addressing approximately
1000 delegates to the associations
fifty fourth annual convention, said
improved passenger traffic in 1884 re-
flected the general business improve
ment.
The overall net operating income
from street railway operations in
1884" said Phillips, who is president
of the Pittsburgh Railway Co.'S, rep
presented return of % per cent on
the investment of four billions dollars
in rail property, while that earned by
motor buses was "a per cent"
He said the business gain in the
transit industry was more than offset
by higher wages and higher material
prices.
Malcolm Muir. president OF Nc
Graw-Hill Publishing Co., stated that
solution of the problem of obsolescent
equipment in all industry would do
much to revivify American business. "
