"CRYSTAL had not thought of V . her steo-slster lor weeis. v-' Not since she stood In the vitrhon with the bulging straw suitcase In her bands, awkwardly savins' coodbve. TnanT she never .came back. Who'd think she'd make a go of it in town, without money or friend, a srreen kid like that!" She speculated upon it, while h hna soed along in the wmw, e-iartnr sun.

" But even as she wiped her perspiring, aching hands on her handkerchief, and reached for the silver compact to powder her nose, the ugly suspicion came crowding back, sickening her, filling her with Jealous fears. He did admire her, and she was craxy about him, the little fool, hadn't she cried Into the dishpan for days after she had met him? "Oh my God! she whispered, "if she cuts me out!" The bus had stopped. "End of the line; everybody out!" the driver called. They were In San Francisco, she had sat there, not knowing It. see "Miss Crystal Garroty, Santa Clara.

WHEN GROWN PEOPLE GET WHOOPING COUGH While Not Particularly Dangerous in Adults This Annoying: Ailment Is Far from Being a h Laughing Matter, Says Dr. Copcland. By ROYAL & COPELAND, M. O. . United States Senator from New York Tomer CommUtioner of HtattX, Veto Tort Clip. WE arc inclined to laugh at onusual things. Nobody smiles If told that Urs. Smith's child has the whooping cough. But everybody snickers on being told that Urs. Smith has the diseaas. I suppose It seems funny that the lady did not hay this ailment ' frhen aha "ought to have It, in childhood.

My kind father, a big, strong man, would lift me out of bed and, as bo held me over his shoulder, assured mo I had nothing to fear. - "We need moral support in soma of our afflo tions.

She hadn't asked the price, and she didn't intend to. MeKevltt would pay. She'd see to that. She took some of the things out of the suitcase and arranged her. silver toilet articles on the dresser. Maybe she'd stay a week: no hurry about getting an apart' ment. "I ought to call him up and tell him I'm here. she thought fin gering the telephone book. "No, I won't III run out and see Arery first. . Ill hare a little fun be fore I let McKevitt get a mort gage on my life again!". On the way out to Avery Wood ward's shack in the artistic squa lor of Telegraph Hill, her spirits soared, her tighly clenched hands relaxed. She forgot Daphne again. Forgot everything except that the taxi was bringing her to Avery, Avery for whom the rest of the world could go by. He was reading in the fading light from the big, .uncurtained window. A swarthy, delicate look ing young man, with melancholy dark eyes, and long, very black hair receding from the temples in two deep, ever widening bays that promised early baldness. He gaye no sign of surprise when she threw open the door and stood there, breathless and laugh ing. 'Avery you pig you aren't even glad!" He held out his arms, dropping the book. "So glad I hare no words," he said, and she ran to him with a little sob. When at last he released her she said. shakily, "Well, you area pig making me do all the run nlng. I'm going to quit it. You're the first man I ever did run after, and you're- going to be the last. Everyone else runs after me!" He smiled and lit his pipe. "I'm not like other men." no." she said stormliy. "you aren't. I suppose that's why I fell for you. I don't know any other reason." How long can you stay?" he asked. Ignoring her sudden flare of temper. "Oh as long as I want to." she answered coldly. She almost hated him sometimes. "What. the devil do I see in him?" she asked her self angrily. "He's lazy, and he's untidy he isn't even good look ing or half way decent to me!" But lore him or hate him, the couldn't forget him. She couldn't be happy without him now, and hek watching her with languid amusement, knew it. "Then you will stay a long time. t I had known I would hate pre pared a feast. I would hare swept the floor, and made my bed, and ordered good red wine from my friend Ghlraldl downstairs. I would have bought bread from the bakery, and salami from the grocery, and cheese. And butter. would but . alas, I have no money!" He emptied his pockets, smiling. See, not a cent! On Sunday with the banks closed." . - Arery, I believe you're always hungry," she said, exasperated. "You decline my feast?" She tossed him her Email gold purse. "Oh well, you won t be good natured until you eat. Take it. We'll go somewhere, only no garlic, that's all I ask. I'll stand for anything else." They walked arm in arm to the little Italian grocery down the hill, and came back loaded down with delicacies of Avery's choos ing.

(AP) After a close check of the senate membership, administra tion leaders claimed today that the expert1 debenture plan would fall by a small majority to win a place in the new farm relief bilL On the basis of their examina tion, the leaders hare determined to let the plan come to a rote as soon as possible but it was regard ed unlikely that the farm hill would be passed before the end of this week, probably, Friday. Republican ieaders hare decid ed to use all their influence dur ing the remaining days of debate to keep their forces Intact and President Hoover also is taking a personal interest In the fight by conferring with senators regard ing his own view in opposition to the debenture plan. The first sign of a break In the ranks of middle western republi cans, who generally hare been' con sidered democrats' staunehest sup porters in the more to provide for the use of export debenture cer tificates, was noted today when Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota said after a call at the White House that he was strong ly inclined to rote against the de benture proposal.' He said he had not definitely determined his course but that If no sufficient reason Is advanced to warrant him changing his mind, he would rote with the administration. I hare always been opposed to subsidy for farmers," Nye de clared. "The debenture plan seems nothing more than that. We senators who rote for the deben ture plan now might find our selves obliged to fight subsidies for other things which we oppose."

"Judy," he said In a lower voice, "doesn't like me to mention fig ures." "Why not?" asked Knarf. "It gives her a headache." "Then you can't tell us how many drops of water there are In the ocean?" remarked MIJ with a sigh. Mr. Punch shook his head. Then all at once he said: "I'll tell you something much more impor tant.

"... and damp," broke in Mij "Yes, damp, that's, just the word.' agreed Mr. Punch. "Well. what did these same giants do but decide to hang up the water to dry. They looked high and low for a clothes line. To their disap pointment they could find none. for none had erer been made. Of course, they didn't know this for they had never read a book. Fi nally they reached up and hung It on cne of the horns of the moon." "And did it dry?" asked the shadow-children. "Not at all. The moon, being quite old, tipped over and down fell the tremendous sheet of water, breaking Into billions of drops as it struck the ocean-beds. That's why when anything falls we say It drops." Mr. Punch stopped as though he had finished the story. But the shadow-children weren't satis fied. "What happened to the gi ants?" they demanded. "The giants," repeated Mr. Punch. "Let me see now ah. yes, I remember. When the water came dropping down, they looked up and said: 'Well, well. If it isn't a shower and we left our umbrellas home, too!'" With that Mr. Punch thought he heard Judy call and hurried off. It's a good thing that he did for the shadow-children were just about to Inquire how it was that the giants happened to have um brellas and why they left them home. CLOCKS ADVANCED CHICAGO, April 29.

It should be heavy for its size. If it feels unexpect edly light, it's an indication that the stalks are dry, and therefore tough. There are a few other tests tor good asparagus. The stalks should be regular,' straight, smooth, and the tips should be solid. If the tips spread broken ly, or the stalks are wobbly and mis-shapen, the asparagus is not so good. A good bunch is an economy eren when it's not cheap. Because erery bit of it has its use. Fresh asparagus is most delicious when served, hot. with a simple sauce. WhatererIs left may be served chilled as a salad. And to be sure there's no waste, boil only the edible part of the asparagus. With a pointed knife feel from the bottom of the stalks to de termine how much is too hard to be eaten with a fork. (About 5 inches -from the rip, more or less is usually tender enough to be eaten completely.) But the lower part should be cut off be fore boiling the asparagus. This tougher section has plenty of fla vor, and boiled by itself In a quart of water -until it can be rubbed to a pulp, it makes the foundation for an excellent cream of asparagus soup. Several varieties of asparagus are now in the market. There is the thin, green type, which, when fresh and prime, can be eaten al most entirely from tip to bottom or the stalk. Then there is the thicker green asparagus, which yields less of an edible portion. You have to cut of from 3 to 6 Inches of the stalk. This is also true of the Oyster Bay asparagus. which Is perrhaps the most 'attrac tive In appearance, with lta fat, creamy stalks and tips, shading from green to pale purple. it s wasteful to scrape aspara gus.
