and luxuriantly. It makes for a
clean, well-kept orchard. Also, in
contrast to Eastern fruit orchards,
there are no fences to guard these
valuable crops or separate them
from inquisitive or hungry motor
lists, for the fruit is so plentiful
that handful, or a basketful for
that matter, would not be missed
In country where everybody seems
to have the greatest abundance of
fruit for their own uses.
The prune industry forms one of
the main sources of income for many
people who live in the coastal
States. In Oregon we heard the
expression "she works in the prunes"
80 often that we decided to visit
one of the large canneries and get the
inside story.
Here we saw the process from the
moment the boxes and baskets of
fresh prunes were unloaded at the
plant door. First they were graded
for size and then dumped into a
huge container from which they
came tumbling out from a spray
bath onto a wide belt, electrically
controlled. This belt was in reality
moving table. On either side of it
sat row of girls neatly capped and
uniformed. They watched closely
and picked out and discarded the
bruised and imperfect prunes as
they passed along the belt. Later
the fruit had another bath before
a second group of girls on the side
lines of another moving belt filled
cans that came to them as If by
magic down a narrow runway from
an upper floor.
Next followed the first heating
process with the cans still open. It
takes about Z minutes for one can
of prunes to arrive at this stage
of the game from its entrance into
the cannery.
Meantime in an upper room su-
gar is being boiled in huge vats and
thinned to proper consistency ready
to be let into a pipeline which will
supply an exact amount Of sirup to
each can as it passes beneath the
pipe and hesitates for a brief Sec
ond. All Of this is done with mathe-
matical precision and Is controlled

Dorothy Dix Says So
Woman Is Wise to Give Up Career
When Husband Can Support Her

Getting married is a much more
complicated adventure for a girl
nowadays than 1t used to be. When
grandma entered tbs holy estate all
she had to do was to pick out which
one Of her suitors looked best to her
and tie up with him. But the mod
ern girl only too often has to decide
between her man and her job, and
when she loves both she is on the
fence and doesn't know which way
to Jump.
One of these bewildered young
women has been telling me of her
dilemma. She is a well-paid private
secretary. She likes her work and
finds 1t fascinatingly interesting.
She enjoys the dressing up and
going downtown in q morning; the
routine of the ONCE; wondering who
she will see and what will happen;
the thrill Of watching the boss pull
of q big deal and having her small
part In It; the excitement Of being
in = crowd and touching shoulders
with people all day.
But she is engaged to fine young
man who makes enough for them
to live on comfortably and who be-
lieves that woman's place is in the
home, and who tells her positively
n - 4
give up her job and 60 domestic.
The girl doesn't want to do this.
She wants to keep on with her Sec
retaryship. She prefers q mahog-
any desk to . gas range, and she is
afraid she will be bored just shut
up in her own house all day. She
doesn't like the thought Of giving
up her individual money, nor does
she like the thought Of giving up

IS willing to take on himself the
responsibility Of supporting . fam
lily, instead of leaving 1t to Geor-
giana to do it.
There are many reasons Why the
woman who does not need to work
outside her own, home should give
up her job when she marries. One
is that it starts the young husband
out on the right foot by putting upon
him not only the responsibility of
being the head of the family, but
1t nils him with pride in being the
one from whom all blessings flow.
Nothing fires mans ambitions so
much as having his wife look up to
him and be dependent on him, and
nothing kills 1t and lowers his morale
50 quickly Is his being dependent on
her.
Still another reason why q woman
should concentrate on domesticity
when she marries is because 1t is the
best known device for holding q
husband. He wants to be his wife's
chief interest, not her job. He wants
her tn I,se all of her dio1oynoev IL,
handling him, not her boss. He
wants her to be rested 50 she will be
ready to play with him If he feels
like 1t, not 80 worn out with her day
at the ONCE she is too tired to put
one foot before the other. And,
above all, he doesn't want to have
to take the brunt Of all the nerves
and irritations and temper she has
had to suppress in business all day.

1 Canyon, but I was afraid he might startle you into breaking our sec- ret. And I want to do little pri- vate snooping on that!"
 Wesley's brow burrowed in a look of confusion. This was his second visit to the Rocking R Ranch. First time, at night, he had become involved in a most unfortunate 1nixup; and this time, as Ronica's invited dinner guest, the conversation at least had sud- denly taken strange turn again.
 He wasn't thinking now of hy- ing or bombing or even of his Rainbow Canyon secret shared with Roaica.
 What did Colonel McDavid mean, Ronnie, about-G Girardeau?"
 "Oh some silly teasing, I sup- pose. Skip it, Wes, and let's dance. Andre isn't even here tonight. There's 8 grand program out of Fl Paso at this hour and want to teach you some new steps. Didn't I promise to at the freshman dancer"

ANDRE OUTLINES A PLOT
CHAPTER XIX

Andre Girardeau topped a low hill with his car and braked easily to halt. He turned to the girl at his side.
 "Now you can see what I mean, Ii said he, pointing. That darkest spot is the Bailey home, the main ranch house. There's no moon out now, but on lighter night you can study one place carefully from here. To the left you see the blurS - those are the hangars. They aren't more than 200 yards from the main house and the army men sleep right there. Understand?"
 "Yes," said Lona Montoya. That much is all right. But where will you be?"
 "In town. I'll park my car this car - near the theater. l bought flashy one so that people would soon identify it with me. I'll even buy a ticket and go in the theater at the right time. But I'll slip out the emergency fire exit through the mems rest room. That leads into the alley beside the Varsity Pharmacy, on the cor ner. With a rented car parked near that alley, I can get in it easily without being seen, and then rush out here. With the lights out I can drive within half mile of the hangars - you have seen how picnickers drive out across the open country in their cars, so my trail won't matter"
 Lona nodded. "And-the other?" Andre turned to smile apprecia- lively at her. Listen, Lona you're the looking thing that's come along in 50 years, and you're also smart. I suggest you do it."
 What has being pretty got to do with this?"
 Nothing, nothing. I just men, tioned it." he spoke loftily, half in amusement. But you are"

Some Ody tlllS MI you' MdyOC AAC, 1oO' But this job - suppose you are right. We don't dare to hire any body - not anybody ever - and it ought to be easy if you prepare 1t first. Can we come out in the same car?"
 Why not? And I'll have the house prepared never, fear. I'm spending great deal of time in the Bailey home now, with the old man and the army, and"

 He slid a strong arm around her and squeezed her close to him. When that's over, Lona, it's me and you and high time together forever, and don't you think 1t isn't. All right?"
 He didn't wait for an answer. He just bent to kiss her, pressing his lips hungrily on Lona's again and again, squeezing her shoulder and feeling her response.
 Something in Andre Girardeau took immense satisfaction out of thus being a man of romantic con- quest. Pretty soon now he would be doing Ronnie aBiley the same way, he promised himself. He felt that Bonnie couldn't resist him. either and she, with her mil lions, was the girl he really want ed to marry.
 At 8 D. m. dessert was served in the Rocking R dining room, and 10 minutes later Colonel McDavid put down his napkin and turned to a second guest.
 "Dr. York; said he, ''it has been pleasure to meet you here and talk with you. And I'm glad to have your views on aviation, sir If I come in to the university to- morrow, will you introduce me to your president? am going to show that gentleman why every school should have strong course ill flying"
 of course, Colonel. I'd be glad to. I'm beginning to be an aviation enthusiast myself. Miss Ronica here has"
 Fine, fine, son! Glad you are interested. Young America is awak- ening everywhere to the import ance of aviation. If you'll meet me here when I call you, I'd like to have you as my guest on the army bomb ing tests. Eh?"
 Bombing tests, sir?"
 Right. That's why we're here The new bomb sight you read about. Completely revolutionizing military flying. We're doing some important final tests this week on desert area out several miles beyond a place called Rainbow Canyons Isolated spot. Natural landing field there. Be glad to have you go along"
 "D-did you say Rainbow Can yon?" Wesley's eyes had wid- ened. He glanced at Ronica, who had looked up quickly. Then Ronica herself answered for Colo nel McDavid.
 Sure, Wes. It. S 8 place away over wonder know about. And III see to it he goes, Colonel. May I take him in my own plane?"
 Colonel McDavid laughed be- highly. Certainly, Miss Ronnie! I don't doubt but what Dr. York vii have better afternoon with you-if Girardeau has no objec- tion. Personally, if I were young Girardeau, I wouldn't tolerate any other mans hanging around. You are a very charming young lady!"
 Ronica half frowned. "Girar- deau? But, Colonel, what has Andre-?"
 Nobody heard the question Col onel McDavid and three other off, cers and their host, Thomas U. Bailey, himself, had all laughed and started to rise, scraping their chairs and chuckling and speaking heart- fly in characteristic man-hutter. It was, at least by implication, one of those let's-leave-the-young-people- to-them-selves moves which in a moment saw Wesley and Ronnie alone in the big dining room. "Sh-h-h-h! Don't tell them what we know, Wes," Ronnie counseled in low tone. T didn't mean to butt in when he mentioned Rainbow

 IN STAMPS
Bombing Planes Follow Greek AirnoiI Route

ITALIAN airnen found a route to the heart of Greece mapped out for them in the 1883 Greek airmail stamp above, but the planes carried bombs, not mail. The stamp also provides philate- lists with a map of the war in the east.
 Although attack on Greece was strategically important in the axis war against Britain, Fascists saw a chance to re-establish the en- pire of 168 B. C. when Roman civ- ilization spread over the Creek peninsula.
 War is not new for Athens. Greek battled Greek on the Attic plains. The Persians burned the city in 480 B. C. Alexander lifted Greece to it's greatest glory in the Hellenistic age, but strife and in- ternal weakness after his death opened the way for an easy Ro- man conquest.
 Greece became part of the Byzantine Empire after the fall of Rome, and was conquered by the Turks in 1453. From the fourth century B. c. until 1921, when Greece revolted against the Turks, the Greeks were at no time free people.
 British friendship dates from that revolution in which Lord Byron lost his life. England. France and Russia intervened, forced. the Turks to grant Greece independence. During the World War, Greece supported the allied :ause.
