LTNDER Norman's guidance Judith
went over the side, stepped Into
the small boat and made her way to
wards Mrs. Dale.
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.

1 SEATTLE. (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."

Failure in Many Instances
SALEM, Ore. 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.
Then, as the depression became
more Intense, consumption dropped
sharply. In each rollkshed of the

atate more milk Is being produced
than can be marketed.
Oreateat distress to the dairyman
hae come from dumping of surplus
milk at below cost prices by some
dairies, said Mlckle. This Aaa re
suited in milk wars, forcing prices
of all supplies below the cost mar
gin. Aim of the state milk control
board, now. beginning to function, Is
to bring about a system ate control
of production and distribution for
consumers.
