On the observation platform a

hand raised in a gesture of farewell,
trailing into a ctmeia lens focused
upon her. Its operator nodded and
grinned broadly at the rirl, raised
his left hand which held a photo
' flash reflector, grasped the camera
bulb In, his right band. A white
lurid light flared for a fraction of
an instant in which the glaring il
lumination of the concourse : was
dimmed to a garish yellow. The in
finitesimal click of the camera shut

sounds surrounding it, but the ac

photographer. He grasped the ca

under his arm and hurried over to

waved bis hat and harried away
through tht rites. Jazit turned

Other passengers had come out of
tht ear onto the platform, also con
versing with those who were Wait

eral had watched tht incident from
inside the car. A man stood in the
open doorway. He pushed the screen
forward and came . out as Jaxie
faced him. Their glances met and
caught briefly as he held the door
for her. When she had passed him
and entered he turned and watched
her progress through the club ear to

tweed suit with a soft beaver collar
that embraced her shoulders gently
and formed a hollow for the smart
off-the-face hat that framed her
lovely face as if proud to display its
charming features. " s '
In the corridor of the next car she
stepped aside to permit another girl
to pass a girl who was very blonde,
very pretty and very nonchalant
Her wide blue eyes appraised Jaxie
for a moment with an air of con
descending hauteur, then she swag
gered on into the club car. -
"Not bad . looking Jaxie re
flected, accustomed to cataloguing
people at a glance or a brief meet
ing and converting them into grist
for the mill of her daily column.
"But her clothes are imitations of

tarded by the porter at tht entrance
to her car. Staggering in and drop
ping several bulky pieces of bag

them away into the first section with
vicious and : glowering ' thrusts.
Dniuiage bags, they were, and two
battered khaki cases that looked as

of wars. A rattling' of !mp!eents
suggested miner's tools. v He' sorely

and stood aside .to allow . Jaxie to

grinned appreciation' of his own
soliloquy as he tugged and shoved

and recalled the little old man with
the white goatee, Clad in khaki
breeches and high! boots,; whose
queer luggage he had just accepted
with mental disapproval. - The little
man's voice arrested his meditation.

precative shrug, then almost col
lapsed Jtlto the seat when his pas
senger proffered a dollar bill for his
services, and to suggest assurance
of his privacy, v t A f.

Mose backed into the passage and
escaped. "Lawd-help-us," he gasped
to himself, "mistake numbah nine-hunderd-an'-ninetyoint

He had no ! farther opportunity
for eonjectnre, however, for just at t-
that moment then was a sudden
burst of shouts and laughter above
the din outside, and minute pelting
sounds, as of sleet and hail on the
car windows and platform. A girl,
laughing excitedly, dashed into tht '
corridor, holding her arms over her
head in a protective gesture. -

Contour Orchard
Planted, Neivberg
NEWBEr G What il believed
to be the first orchard in the
Willamette valley to be planted
on the coitour instead of In
straight geometrical I fashion, has
recently ! been set Out by Paul
Michenet, near here. The idea of
contour planting is! to set the
rows of ; troes according to the
topography of the land, so that
cultivation ;an easily ; be carried
out on I tho contour I and thus
minimize erosion.
Before planting the orchard,
Mr. Michenelr, in cooperation with
the Soil Conservation ierriceter
raced the 14nd for proper drain
age, so ! that the excess water
would be jcarried off without
causing serious erosion. Although
adequate ccjver crops! are valu
able In ' protecting the surfacei
they will nojt always prevent ero- j
sion damage unless concentra
tions of water are broken up by
diversion channels orf terraces.

Loans! to Bolster
ool Prices
1 ' -
WASHINGTON, March 1-UP)-
Western wool growers asked the
Commodity Credit corporation to
day for.; loans to bolster depressed
wool prices. They also opposed
any reduction of tariffs on woolen
goods under the proposed trade
treaty with the United Kingdom.
I A Texas delegation learned
from the agriculture department
Of tentative plans for loans of
22 to 24 cents per pound on
fine Texas wool, and 24 to 26
Cents per pound on wool, grease
basis, at Boston.
The loans ; were expected to be
made in time for the new spring
Clip, according to Louis Schreln
er of Kerrville, Tex., and would
apply to the . eight-months and
fall clip as well. He said the Tex
as delegation was seeking 25-eent
oans on the eight-months and
all clips and 26 cents per pound
n the 12-months clip."
rr - :
'-n-'; : ..I ' :
The wool and mohair , growers
contended, the mere proposal ota
redaction had had a depressing
effect on the American market,
and declared large1 manufacturers
wee reluctant " to carry large
stocks in the face of a possible
drop in import prices.
