She was certainly handsome, Ju dith thought She bad Norman's coloring, not & streak or grey In ber hair. She was reaching out a steady ing hand, and Judith, laying her sun burned lingers In the Arm pink palm, was suddenly shy before the studied elegance of the woman who was talking steadily to put her at ease. "What a stunning looking child you are! I thought Norman said you were a buslnoss woman. Sit down there. If I klsB you now we'll both go overboard. I'm not built on skiff lines. Norm, this girl Isn't old enough to marry." Judith regained her composure and smiled. "I'm willing to bet I'm more than ton years older than you Trere when you were married," she , laid. "You're a dear child," was Mrs. Dale's response to the compliment. "In case you're worrying about your clothes (not that you don't look like picture out of a book), your friend Clla Is on board with" "Clla aboard?" questioned Judith, too overjoyed at having a friend In that desert of strangers to realleo her rudeness. Clla Snntord could hold her own with a dozen Kevins women. "Yes, very much aboard. How ever, I doubt that Ma'teel Bevins knew she was your best frlond when she was Invited.' She gave Judith a wise twinkling smile, which put the girl. They were at tho yacht's sldo, and Judith was squaring her shouldors to moot the orowd surging to their side of the yacht when she heard her friend's votco high above tho othors. "Hello, Judy girl . . . look at her, do you blame any man for sacrific ing his freedom for that figure . . . and wait till you see her eyes. . . ." She throw a friendly arm about Ju dith as she stepped on deck. row do you do, .Miss Lane? Your stateroom Is below to the left, third door." Mrs. Bcvlns of torod Judith a mechanical smile, then saw that Mrs. Dale had stopped up to slip an arm about her. "Oh, If yon are going down, Both, 1 won't crowd things. Ma'teel seems to be tnklng her usual care of Norman." Between Mrs. Dale and Clla, Ju dith was swept bolow to a luxurious room and after a quick tub came out to find them chatting over fluffy array of clothes spread on the bed.

(UP) Two youths, durum with attempting to steal a small lamp from the Kim Chrlut Scientist church, were sentenced to Attend o'lureh every Bundny for two months and ntteml Bundny school and ootn morning and evening services. "Trousseau gift," explained Mrs. Dale, slipping a sheath of white sat it, and foamy lace over her head. "You got this too large, Clla. Look here." "Judy," scolded Clla, "you must have been lying out In the sun shriv eling up. You're as thin as a rail." "Short rations." Judith explained; then, "What a love of a dress!" "Frock," corrected Clla, tossing the plaid organdy over her bead and pulling It Into line. "Anything that coats as much as this is a frock. The white's gorgeous aralnst your tan, blue matches your eyes, and you need the red. Mrs. Dale, will you band me that vanity ... no, not mine; she'd look like a pumpkin; there, that's It . . . and somebody's at the door." Mrs. Dale went to the door. "Judy," she said, turning back, "you'll excuse me If I go up, won't you? Tbey need me for a bridge foursome. Norman's bringing you over tomorrow " The door closed, and Clla sat back on ber heels, "Well, what a fine mess you've got yourself Into," she barked. Judith smiled placidly. "Clla, even a wise woman like yourself tried matrimony before condemning It." "Oh, tush," snapped Clla. "Any one with brains would snatch at Norman. But why couldn't you have raited until you came to town for the announcement? I'd have given you a grand party. But there you went and sent those messages ahead to warn your enemy, for all the world as If you were afraid." "Afraid . . . enemy . . . messages?" " JUDY, llaton. Day before yoster-- day every newspaper in town received a telegram telling of your engagement I telephoned Mrs. Dale, and she okayed it Hair an hour later we received p second tel egram saying the first was a noax U, tease Norman. Dick Lorry, the city ed of our afternoon paper, asked me what I thought I showed blm your latest picture. "That was enough. He took It away from me and ran It, first page, three column with a stream head line. It was on the streets at three thirty. At three forty-five Mathhlle Bevins telephoned and Invited me on this yachting party. Then yes terday morning Mrs. J. Anthony Dale invited me on a shopping tour. She'd found out we were good friends and said she figured you ought to be glvon a chance to hold your own." "But, Clin," Judith was complete 1' bewildered, "what's U all about? Who sent the second telegram?" "Judith, how woll do you know your Boss' daughter?" "Not woll at nil, She doesn't like me." "Tlion let mo give you a bird's eye picture of her. A docade ago she'd have been one of these 'but she's such a nice girl.' She knew It, so she wont abroad and bought trim mings for the slightly singed varie ty She had her face skinned, her timr sllvorfcc!, changed hor name from Mathilda to Mathlle, pro nounced Ma'teol, and then cam hack with the thorns song 'I must have that man." Clla," laugbod Judith, "what do you mean?" "This. Ma'tool has had her eye on Norman Dalo since tholr colored mammies lot them squall In the same crib, Ma'teel probably figured she'd stand a chance If she could hush It until she got hor hooks Into Norman. "Oh. Clla" "And when you digest that I've got a real earful tor you. Listen Norman's senior partner. Morion Lampore, Is out to ruin your boss dam. Sit down and I'll toll you the details."

Vf) Chaotic con dition of the Oregon milk industry is due to two. causes, economic condi tions and bad trade practices, J. D. Mlckle, head of the dairy and food division, state department of agricul ture, aald today, "During the past year a great amount of time has been spent In preparation and writing of milk codes which were intended to straighten out milk affairs that are now vexing producers, distributors, store proprie tors and regulatory officials almost eveywhere throughout the country," said Mlckle, "Now many of these codes ,have been laid aside as Inef fective and not productive of reme dial results in the present badly dis turbed condition of affairs." During the past few years dairy men producing market milk have been forced by various codes and ordinances to go to additional ex pense ln building repairs, new barns, milk houses, water supplies, sterili zation equipment, and cooling callll ties, Mickle said.
