 Rachel Reynolds hand remained clasped about the receiver for several minutes after she had re- placed it. She continued to stare thoughtfully at the toe of her black suede pump.
 She was thinking about Nina. Steven Ames' wife. This thing wasn't going to be easy. She knew what happened to people who pro- jected themselves into private quarrels. But she'd promised. She'd let Steve talk her into 1t. After all, Nina and Steve were her best friends.
 An hour later she chose a chair which faced the fire in the living room of Steven Ames' beautiful new Spanish house in Bel Air.
 You don't mean that" she said, looking up at Nina, who stood fac- ing her. You wouldn't leave Steve"
 ooh, wouldn't I?" Nina shrugged with a slight secretive smile. Nina Ames in her gay striped lounging pajamas was youthful and slender. But her efforts to appear sophisticated, and entirely com posed were not altogether success full.
 "No," replied Rachel sensibly, "you wouldn't. You've been mar ried to Steve too long to" "That's it exactly" Nina broke in. i've been married to him too long. I don't intend to waste any more time."

 "Who says2" Rachel interrupted. Heavens! So there was a man, Rachel unused. Steve hadn't told her that. Poor stupid! Maybe he didn't even know 1t. Or did he? She hadn't thought that of Nina. Why, it was positively silly.
 "Oh, never mind" returned Nina with a lofty gesture. "You wouldn't understand. You're like Steve. Do- mesticity is your forte." Then her tone changed. She looked long into Rachel's face, which loomed seri- ous and white above her severe black satin dress.
 "A star!! A light opera start" she breathed.
 "It sounds reasonable" said Rachel bluntly. Light opera stars are usually around 40."
 And" Nina went on unim. pressed, "I have 8 nice figure. You're heavy and solid. I'm as slim as when was 20. And I've always had dramatic ability. Why, Rachel, if I were free, or-or mar ried to a man like Hugo! He's so handsome, so chivalrous, so roman-

 "Oh, yes!" Nina's voice was ec- static. Hugo is only 29."
 "Does he know that you're alm most-"
 Nina stopped her. ''Hugo thinks that years don't matter. Oh, Rachel. if only-I can do better than Steve. Don't you think can?" A thin ray of sunshine had broken through the clouds. It slanted across the low stool where Nina had seated herself with her. elbows on her knees and her chin on her girlishly laced fingers. There was a decisive gleam in Racheps eyes as she contemplated the gray hairs that glistened in Nina's brown bob.
 "Of course you can," she said forcefully. "Stay young as long as possible. Marry a handsome young man who will appreciate you. Star in opera or

 to marry again, but, of course, didn't know that Steve would be available"
 The whir of a distant telephone broke the silence that was becom- ing overlong. Rachel relaxed conn fortably in her chair and waited with humorous eyes for Nina's return.
 "Did Steve send you out here? Nina asked in an odd tone. She spoke from the doorway. Rachel considered. Steve had called; Nina's eyes were warm and glowing. "Yes, he did. He said you were going to leave him. He was all broken up and wanted me to see what I could do." "I never thought of leaving him." Nina confessed. But he's getting old too fast. He eats too much. He's lazy, and he gets irritable. He needed some kind of shock" Rachel smiled wickedly. "So did you," she said after a slight pause.

are we from . policy of scarcity that
there Is more meat available for con-
sumers today than would have been
possible had there been no A. A. A.
To the uniformed this may seem an
extreme statement. Let us remind
them that when the Government
bought and processed nearly 10 million
head of cattle and sheep last Summer.
1t prevented them from becoming a
total loss through starvation in the
drought areas. This action made
available more than a billion pounds
Of meat which otherwise would have
been wasted. When the A. A. A.
processed those farmers six million
little pigs in the Fall Of 1888, thereby
saving a distressed hog market from
a complete breakdown and providing
food for relief purposes, 1t also gave

folks as well as farmers. In reverse
fashion, exceedingly high prices and
a scarcity of farm products eventually
may cause even greater damage to
farmers than to consumers, for the
usual result is subsequent overproduc-
ton, low prices, and farm bankrupt
cies. ask you whether we ought not
strive for a workable balance between
these two extremes.
In 1888 most people thought policy
of reduction justified. They were
impressed by the record-breaking
stocks in reserve, the low farm prices
and the lost foreign market for the
product of more than 40 million
acres What many doubted, however,
was that the job could be done Some
were positive it couldn't be.
That criticism has lost some of its
Evening star., 1935-05-17

the remaining live stock on farms that
much more feed and forage to live on
in the desperate drought-stricken days
of 1894. It Is true that this phase Of
the pig slaughter was sheer luck. since
no one could foresee the drought, but
that does not alter the fact that 1t was
an exceedingly helpful measure. These
cattle and pig programs, plus the en-
couragement given by the Department
OF Agriculture to increasing the acre
age OF feed and forage crops in 1888
and 1894, definitely minimized the
damage which the drought Of 1884
might have done to both farmers and
consumers.
The facts Of the farm situation in
the early Spring of 1888 and again in
1884 called for reduction. The facts
of the early Spring Of 1885, however,
Evening star., 1935-05-17

force in the face of the fact that more
than 100000 farmers have carried
out contracts with the Government
to make these adjustments, that farm
cash income has risen from four and
a third billion dollars in 1882 to better
than billion in 1894, and that the
purchasing power of farm products
has risen from IS per cent of pre-war
in March, 1888. to 81 per cent of pre-
war in April, 1885.
Adjustment Big Factor.
The adjustment programs have, OF
course, not been solely responsible for
this achievement, but they have been
an indispensable factor. And as evil
dence that they have not beer ami
mated by a policy Of scarcity, would
point out that there are more people
Evening star., 1935-05-17

called for quite the reverse. The facts
Of early 1895 may call for O still
different adjustment policy. It is this
willingness to consider the changing
facts which I wish most of all to
emphasize tonight. wish that con-
sumers as well as farmers would bear
in mind that we are dealing with an
industry the conditions of which
change every year, that the significant
word In the agricultural adjustment
act is the word adjustment" and
that adjustment is necessarily s>Se-
thing continuous, something ever
changing. something requiring always
great fiexibility of mind.
The facts Of the farm situation
early this Spring, as I said, called for
expansion rather than reduction Of
acreage. 1t was not because foreign
