CHAPTER XIV

For nearly three years. ever since
Don Pedro had gone south to the
founding of the Mission Santa Bar
bara, Eulalia had lived in as chaste
a state as the old Spanish virgin.
At first she had denied herself to
him through sheer lassitude, then,
realizing his need of her, his SEEM
ing dependence upon her, she had
purposely withheld herself. She had
determined that there should be IA
vor for favor. For the privilege of
holding her in his arms, he was to
return with her to Mexico.
The plan had seemed beautifully
simple to her, but when she men
toned it to her husband he had
turned on her a strange unbelieving
look, tugged his beard, muttered
something about prostitution, and
set up a camp cot in his office by
the preside gate.
So three years had passed. Don
Pedro grew a little leaner, and his
face little wolfish with cleaning
eyes and grizzled beard, but always
stern, uncompromising. And Eula-
liza, with everything at stake upon
her attractiveness, grew more beau
tiful, but nervously alert. Her black
eyes were wary and predatory.
One day Angustias marched bold
~ toward her with a determined
tread that bespoke some matter of
import brewing in her mind.
"Nina!" she spoke sharply, stand
ing with arms akimbo. "You will
pardon me for speaking to you this
way: God is my witness, I have
kept quiet long enough. But this
thing goes too far!"
"What thing?" murmured Eula-
liza easily.
'sYou know well enough. This
thing of Don Pedro, bless his heart,
sleeping down at his Office. Three
years. Humph!" She snorted loudly.
perhaps it is not fitting that sim
gle woman, such as I, should speak
of such things. Indeed it is pain
full, difficult, for me to do so, but

Across the preside. And call on
his Excellency in his Office" She
rose grandly and, holding her skirts
aloof from the dust, walked erectly
across the parade-ground.
In his Office the Governor was puz-
cling over a letter he had received
by a courier from San Francisco.
So that when Eulalia swept i'm
periously into the office, he greeted
her absently although supposedly.
Eulalia sat impatiently in the
chair he offered her, and looked
around the office while the Cover
nor talked excitedly. The white
washed walls were hung with maps,
crisscrossed with marks of trails
over unknown country which Don
Pedro himself had explored. His
few books, which he had moved
from the palacio, were on a rough
shelf. And in one corner was his
camp cot. She lifted her nose dis
painfully at the crude furnishings as
she remembered the splendid fit
tings of the viceregal palace at Mex
leo City. A fine office for the Cover

She fretted uneasily, but the Gov
ernor did not notice her.

Sen. William E. Borah moved to

and the present one constituted, for
all practical purposes, only one ses-

amendment, which would have for

Some Exceptions

There are, of course, a few bril-
liant exceptions past and present to
the credit of the big cities, but they
are relatively small in number.
Babe Ruth, for instance, grew up
in Baltimore, Md; Hank Greenberg
of the Tigers is a product of New
York city; Freddie Lindstrom of the
Giants, Pirates and Cubs hailed
from Chicago; Bill urges, Cubs
shortstop, is a Brooklyn boy; Lou
Gehrig spent his boyhood in New
York City.
But generally when you hear
some one say that a local boy has
made good in the big leagues, you'll
find that he's from Pageland, N. c.,
where Van Lingle Mungo of the
Brooklyn Dodgers was born; or Nor
way, Iowa, where Hal TrOsky of the
Indians first saw the light Of day;
or Celeste, Texas, where Monte
Stratton, White Sox pitching ace,
was ushered into the world.
Think of few other stars. Well,
Carl Hubben comes from Carthage,
Mo-; Joe Di Maggie, from Martinez,

Okla; Mel OFT from Gretna, La;
Arly Vaughan of the Pirates from

st. Louis Browns, from Huntsville,
N. c.; Billy Herman of the Cubs
from New Albany, Ind; Luke APP

CHAPTER XVI

Eulalia watched the Governor
preparing for his departure with
out a word. His impedimenta
seemed to consist mainly Of small
casks of aguardiente, and skins of
wine; of guns and ammunition. He
wore his disreputable leather jerkin,
and toughest boots. He packed a
few other belongings haphazardly
into his knapsack.
When he was ready, he bowed
before his wife ironically and said
with mock reverence.

60, and I know not when I return.
Do not grieve for me, but control
your impotence for my company
until I return, which will be in due
time, and according to my own free
will. Adios!"
Eulalia said nothing, but drew her
brows together darkly.
She watched Don Pedro and his
party gallop away across the pa
background toward the great gate
which was swung open and ready
for them.
A few miles outside the presidio,
the Governor and his gay party
came upon the mail courier, lying
beneath a tree, his head pillowed
on the sack of mail.
"Ho!" cried his Excellency.

throats!"
All dismounted.

First Aid Stations
 Stopping Accidents

AMARILLO, Tex, Jan. 2. = Red Cross safety experts are beginning to wonder if psychology might not have something to do with auto mobile accidents.
 There had been many serious accidents on stretch of the Den yer-Amarillo highway north of here.
 A Red Cross first aid station was established, with markers on the highway.
 For year now, since the Red Cross signs have been beside the pavement, there have been no ac- cidents of consequence.
 We have observed that ma jority of drivers slow down when they see the Red Cross signs" says F. E. Greenwood, safety director in charge of the station.

wants to knock down all tariff walls but just to lower them q little, and above all else, to see that tariff walls of one nation are net lowered more for one neighbor than anoth- CT. The only way you can assure this equal treatment, says Hull, IS to get the nations on the dotted line of a treaty to give equal treat ment to others.
 Pro And Con
 Here are two big points in favor of the Hull program:
 l. Sixteen nations nave signed trade agreements with the United States, under law which permits the President to lower or raise OUT tariff walls 50 per cent when he sees fit.
 2. These treaties affect one third Of our exports and have helped to increase American trade, not only with these na- tions, but with all others, eX- cept those that insist on the preferential system.
 Here are two big points against the Hull idea
 l. Even though our trade has increased since agreements have been signed, we have made bad bargains, and are spending more money in world markets than we are taking in from other nations. 2. When the United States starts lowering tariff walls to induce nations to sign trade agree ments, busness protected by more walls may suffer. If they suffer too much, American workers might be discharged in the interests of world trade.

t(JO1llIlUGQ cause the world struggle today cen ters on economic supremacy, ana not political rivalry.
 The dictatorship "haVe-not' na- tions would like to stimulate thelr economy with the raw materials readily available to Great Britain, the United States, France and Rus sia. But the Relationships don't wants to buy these things subser- viently. They want to own some o1 the land these materials are on.
 GuIl's Argument
 Great Britain must have argued to herself that stimulated trade might spread economic prosperity generally. Ii it should spread to the dictatorship group, maybe they would not be so Warlike since it is automatic that prosperous people want peace.
 Then too, you have to throw in the persuasive logic of Americas Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, the author of the trade agreement pre- gram, as one big reason why Great Britain is negotiating a trade agee- ment with the United States.
 Hull is recognized as world au- thority on trade and there's simply no getting around the Hull trade theory, even if you think it won't work.
 Here's the Hull idea:
 The United States and other na- tions should get together and knock a few brlcks off each others tariff walls, so business men can see over and make profitable international deals.
 Moreover, the countries should agree to share any lowering of their tariff walls with all the other na- itions of the world, save those in- sisting on making secret trade deals on the side.
 DeaIS ReStrIct lraue
 This is very important, since the world is gradually restricting it's trade within the limits of secret side deals between nations. Such deals inevitably restrict trade be- cause it's always a dollars worth of this for a dollars worth of that, and there's no further channel of trade
 Hull argues trade breeds trade, land it should not be restricted by the secret side deals that now cov- ,er Europe These deal are known publicly as preferential treatment exchange control" 'bilateral agree ments," and whatnot The American trade preacher in- lsists that every nation should have ian equal crack at the markets of every other nation.
