painting. In the late summer, Gina
returns to New York after three
months in Ohio and meets Alec, by
appointment, at a publisher's tea.
The party it boring, so they de
cide to slip away for a long chat.
. . CHAPTER II
-- They went to a quiet place around
- the corner and fell at one intt v,
easy, desultory conversation of old
inenus. Uma saio, unking glim,
talented fingers about the stem of
her cocktail glass, "What do you
hear from Tommy? Is he coming
home soon 7"
Tommy was Alec's young nephew.
Twelve years before. Alec's sister's
husband had died in Kobe. Japan,
and she had come back to America
. with her young son. At that time.
Tommy had been a shy. slender boy
not quite twelve years old. . Now,
three years after graduating from
Yale, he was doing well at a mining
engineer's Job in South America.
Alee said, "Tommy's contract is
-p uua montn. There's a chance he
may not renew it-"
- "In that case, he wnnM K Mm.
, Ing home. I suppose." Gina knew
that Alec missed Tommy more than
, be ever admitted, that, with th- r.M
aible exception of herself, he was by
gar ine most important person tn
Aiec'alife.
Alee nodded.1 "Yes, but I don't
imagine he will. And even if he
did. it would be only for a month or
two ; . then he'd iwtth
job and go tearing off to the ends
ci ine world, again. I reconcile my
elf," he added quietly, "to never
seeing much of him any more when
aiscoverea ne bad bis heart set -on
being a mining: enrineer"
"All the same." said Gina, "1 wish
he would come back, even if it were
only for a month or two," And the
thoueht. "He would if h i.. h,
much It would mean to Alee ... if
be guessed how lonely he rets for
him. . . " ,
She said aloud. "Did you have a
good summer? Did you sUy in town
or take that house on Long Island?"
"I stayed In town, but I didn't
nave a particularly good summer. I
finished the play in July and I
missed you like the very devil all
through August. New York was un-

She was invariably -tired, rushed,

NSW YORK, April 13-(JP)-A:
wide crack in Santa Fe shares
echoed throughout the rail di-
rision of the ato:b market today
and put a damper on reviYlng
inflationary sentiment. I
Caught off guard by overnight
announcement the road would de
fer interest usually paid May
1 on the 4 per cent adjustment

could see hour earnings go later
in the year, the market for
Santa Fe temporarily was throwi
into confusion.' '
It was two hours before a
trade in the road's preferred
finally was arranged at 43. off
more than 10 points. It closed
at 42 after sinking within a
fraction of 40.
Industrials Up
Industrials, riding a new ware
of Inflation talk tossed up by re
ports of another federal spending
and lending drive to prime the
industrial pump, emerged with a

424.2 Man Hours
For Production
Labor required for cultivation
and harvest of an acre of hops
in Oregon totals 424.2 man hours
per year, or assuming that the
worker put In a 10 hour day. it
would require 42.5 days for one
man, a report of the state plan
ning board, "A Survey of the
Demand for. Agricultural Labor
in Oregon," shows. "Hie report
thoroughly covers for the first
time, all phases of the agricul
tural labor problem, and is ex
pected to prove of grea. value in
seeking a solution to the season
al and other problems in the
state.
Since the state has 17,774
acres In hops, the total number
of man hours required for this
crop reaches the huge toal of
7,557,506, or the equivalent of
employment for 18.52 5 men
working 10 hours a tay in the
field for 300 days per year.
However, the labor problem
for hops Is greatly complicated
by the fact that the work is not
evenly distributed throughout the
year. In January the total man
hours required to do all the work
is but 35,548. or 10 hour a day
employment for but 142 men
working 25 days that month
Then in September, the peak har
vest month, the man-hour total
leaps to 3,604,567, or a month's!
work for 25 ten hour dayr for
14,418 individuals.
