a DOZEN or so oddly assorted
old cars and trucks were
drawn up in the speckled pattern
of shade that spread itself peace
fully under the even row of rust
ling eucalyptus trees that Dor
dered the lawn of the Blossom
Valley Orange Juice Concentrat-
ing plant.
Inside the plant it was much
less peaceful. The men were
gathered in little knots about the
sprawling room talking in harsh
undertones. Sam Arlen was
pounding heavily on the battered
oak desk.
eff you fellows will give me
your attention, now, I'll read the
letter we just got from the bank"
He waited a minute until the
room was quiet, then began:
"Dear Mr.. Arlen: In response
to your letter of June End we wish
to inform you that we are today
beginning foreclosure proceedings
against the ranch properties of the
late Thomas Ralston. This prop
erty known as Blossom Ranch was
designated as security for
$20,0O00O loan made over two
years ago by Mr.. Ralston and now
in default.
"This loan was purely of a
personal nature and in no way
places any encumbrances on the
Blossom Valley Orange Juice
Concentrating Company"
Sam Arlen stopped reading and
swept his eyes over the tense
faces of the group. A voice from
the back of the room broke the
silence. oval, 1 can't see how we
can rightfully hold nothin' against
Tom Ralston. 1t was his own place
he put up as security fer that
loan" A few scattered heads
nodded their approval.
"That amt the point, Jess" Sam
Arlen doomed, "the thing is that
Blossom Ranch was furnishin' al
most half the fruit fer this plant!
You know blamed well we can't
afford to 60 out and pay packing
house prices fer orangesi II we
do there won't be cent to maxim
this concentrated"
Strange Girl
At THIS point a heavy man
"A with bulky, dropping Shout
ders pushed his way to the front
of the group and faced Sam Arlen
with look of grim determination
on his bronze face.
'T don't think that's the point,
Sam, that us fellows is most in
terested in. I don't care if Ralston
did put up his own place as Sc
curity for our loan I'd like to
know where he got rid of $40, 600!
That's a powerful sight of money
to sink in a one horse business
like thisl" There was a general
nod of approval.
'iBefore Sam Arlen could answer
the swish of automobile tires on
the driveway outside drew every
pair of eyes toward the open
windows. They could see a bright
" painted taxi pulled up to the
front door with a wake of white
dust settling back to the roadway
A slim figure of a girl was getting
out and speaking briefly to the
driver. A moment later, the young
woman opened the door. She
looked smilingly confident in
trim suit of powder blue with
crimson hat and purse.

Babson Sees Danger in U.s.
Policy on Use of Car Tires

En- Route 10 Washington, Feb. p
-Dlring the past two weeks, |
have been making careful study
Of the tire situation. am convinced
Of. two thing: Cd The American
people can have tires II willing 10
go without certain other cotton and
rubber products. co The American
people ale willing to go without a.
most anything II they can avoid put
ting up their cars.
Transportation Is Fundamental
When Washington-on the spur Of
the moment-says we cant have
any more tires for the duration. II
Is playing with a buzz saw. Trans
porta ton Is fundamental. II always
has existed and Is more needed to-
day than ever. or course, much OF
it Is unnecessary. We all can. and
will, cut our mileage 80 per cent to
40 per cent or more. Eut we all want
a car with tires-capable OF running
II we need it. Flu thermore, my
guess is that-until Washin gton
gives us time to build buggies and
raise horses again-we are going
to get tires.
Tires are made mainly OF cotton
with some rubber and a very little
wire. OF cotton. We have a great
surplus. By switching spindles from

Where We Can Get Rubber
This ri Der can then be brought
in sailing vessels and old steamers
TO Tampa, Mobile, New Orleans. and
Texas ports where the cotton Is.
Furthermore, these ports are near

plies which could be mixed with the

has a surplus of unemployed people
who could make tire under proper
supervision. In addition to the
above, we have a great undeyelope1

The above facts show that every
thing IS available to make tires ex-
cept the will on the part OF our
Washington dictato,s to let US buy
them. Moreover. the methods which
| visualize will not in any way
interfere with the waging Of the
war. We will get poorer tires and
will need to pay more money for
them; but theze 'ersatz" tires will
enable us to always have car
