This man operates his own farm and is going back to horses as rapidly as nature will permit. He said: “The reason for me making the change from tractor to horse- power is the difference in the cost of labor. During flush times it is hard to get farm help at a price the farmer can pay and very often it was impossible to get a man who could handle horses at any price. The result was that the farmer had to in- crease his productive power and the most efficient machinery was the way to do it. It was good business, . . tee “But now the need for greater Production is not so imperative as the need for production with- out cash outlay. As cash crops drop in price a heavy premium is put on the farm dollar. The horse is not more efficient than @ tractor but under certain cir- cumstances he is more economi- cal. Farmers think about these things and reason them out for themselves without much regard to the city farmers who always are offering advice.” The progress being made by the movement to restore Old bin to favor is outlined by the North Da- kota Agricultural College in a news story,..

Air Transportation Progress The steady increase in commercial aviation’s safety factor is strikingly illustrated in the recent report -from Assistant Secretary of Commerce Clarence M. Young. During the first six months of this year commercial transport planes flew @ little better than 20,000,000 miles, and nine passengers lost thetr lives. In the first six months of last! year the planes flew less than 17,- 000,000 miles and killed 22 passen- bers. ‘ The only thing that stands in the way of a tremendous boom in the sir transport business is the fact that the average man still has a faint, lingering fear of trusting himself to an airplane. Let commercial avia- tion hang up just a few more tecords like this one and the. last traces of that fear will vanish.

Mrs. Travers said as they stepped out on the sidewalk, “Harvey has the car over at the right.” Everything before Norma was a blur. She followed Mrs. Travers into the Mmousine, She sat close to the window and stared out at the stre::. There were men and women passing. Taxicabs and trucks and other vehicles. The whole scene before the girl’s eyes became a meaningless haze. She tried to wink back the tears but they persisted. : Her father-inlaw was saying something to his wife. Norma did not hear what it was. Then she was aware that they were moving away from the station. Somewhere in the distance train wheels turned faster and faster carrying Mark away from her. Mark was gone! There had been that last moment when she had seen him smiling back at her from the car platform. Waving and smil- ing. Now he was gone and she would net see him for five weeks. Five weeks—it seemed endless, im- Possible! Norma clutched her hands to- gether tightly. She could not cry out now, She could not give way and sob out the terror in her heart, She could only sit there gripping her icy fingers, telling nerself over and over that she must manage to keep from breaking down before these strangers. Yes, they were strangers and they hated her. The girl’s lips became a tightly Pressed line of crimson, struggling to steady itself but frequently trem- bling.

The chauffeur looked question- ingly toward Mrs. Travers. “You may take us home, Har- vey.” The woman sighed as she spoke. “Such a day!” she mur- mured to Norma, “I had to rush away from luncheon. Meeting trains and waiting in stations is loathsome, don’t you think so? I'll be glad to have my tea.” Tho girl did not answer. Mrs. Travers gave her a searching glance, then went on. “I want to tell you I think you've acted sensi- bly in this matter, my dear. ‘So foolish to become emotional. Shows such {ll breeding. Of course I was a. Randolph before my marriage. No doubt that's why such things affect me so. The Randolphs, as you must know, have been leaders in this country since colonial times. Some day I'll show you the family history—”" The monologue continued. Mrs. Travers grew animated as she re- viewed the importance of her an- cestors, So many acres of land. So many servants. So many Randolphs in Congress. A cousin in the gov- ernor’s chair. As long as she was talking Norma had her thoughts to herself. Now and then the girl nodded, murmured a “yes” or “no.” It Mrs. Travers had been observant shé might have been nettled that her. words created so slight an im- Pression. Mrs. Travers was not ob- servant. To her it was inconceiva- ble that anyone should fail to be awed by the splendors of the Ran- dolphs, ‘The Hmousine slowed and turned into the drive at the side of the Travers residence. It halted before three steps leading to the entrance. Harvey was holding the door open, waiting for them to descend. “You can put the cer up,” Mrs. Travers told him as she swept for- ward. “I won't need it again.” ‘The haze of’ unreality faded be- fore Norma. The brick mansion was as forbidding as it had been when she had visited it before but it was real enough. Tompkins, a servant whose face she remembered, met them in the hall. “Have there been any messages?” Mrs, Travers demanded. “Did any- one call?” “No, Madam.” _ The older woman turned toward Norma. “Tompkins will show you your room,” she sald. “It’s in the west wing and I hope you'll find it comfortable. Your trunk should be there by this time—" It was the expression on the man’s face that made her check the words and add, “Well, Tompkins? What is it?” “Excuse me, Madam, but the trunk has not come.” “What? But I left orders—!” “A man from the transfer com- pany telephoned. |He said there was no trunk at that address.” Mre. Travers whigled. Appar- ently interference with arrange- ments she had planned irritated her. “There's been a mistake,” she announced, “There must have been a trunk there!” Al Smith refuses to admit his hat is not in the 1932 presidential ring.

They're fully careless, you know. a a chance you'll never even see your things—” “T'll take care of it,” Norma as- sured her. “If you don’t mind I'd like to go to my room now.” “Of course. Will you come down for tea or would you like it sent up to yout” “I don’t believe I care for any, thank you. I thought I’d lie down a little while.” “Very well. Dinner’s at 7:30. Ring for Isabel if there's anything you want, my dear. Show her up- stairs, Tompkins.” - The girl found herself following Tompkins’ stiff, narrow shoulders a down a long hail. The room before which they stopped was the small- est she had seen in the Travers home. It was simply decorated. “Comfortable,” as Mrs, Travers had suggested, but certainly not of the style to be expected in such a dwelling, Tompkins apparently thought the same thing. It was plain he did not regard Norma as worthy of the solicitous manner in which he ad- dressed Mrs. Travers. “Your room,” he said shortly, and that was all. “Thank you.” Norma entered and closed the door behind her. There were two windows, both on the south, They looked out over the garage and a stretch of lawn at the rear of the house, There was & door in one wall. Norma opened it and found a clothes closet. She moved to one of the windows and looked out, Suddenly the girl sank.to the edge of the bed and hid her face in a pillow. “Oh, Mark!” she sobbed. “Mark —come back to me!” eee GTHALTHILY Norma opened the door leading into the hall.

He must be in another part of the house, The girl paused long enough for a sharp intake of breath, then went. of quickly. She reached the ground floor, Clear sailing! Neither Tompkins nor anyone'else was to be seen. She crossed the hallway and pulled open the outer door. As it closed after her there was a rus- tling sound behind but she did not turn, Outside Norma felt the cold air strike her cheeks gratefully. She walked as swiftly as she could, not once glancing backward. By turn- ing to the left a tall hedge arose to shield her from view of the Travers horte. Still she walked Norma had found her voice. “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “T'll see about it tomorrow.” Pars ® passing fancy. * e # who hopes to marry for money. ee & woman & Scot in.

Shé was not familiar with this part of Marlboro, The streets were strange and they wound about irregularly. Houses were set far back from the sidewalks. She was searching for a car line but none came in sight. She must have walked half an hour before she stopped uncertainly at a street intersection. The night wind was cold now. The girl drew her coat closer, shivering. It was a suit Head not warm enough for Decem- re . A block away, she could see thé gleaming lights of motor traffic. Suddenly a vehicle bulkier than the others loomed in sight. The Laurel Park bus line! With warm eager- ness Norma hurried toward the lights, She was too late for the first bus, waited for the next. re “Do you go to Eighth street?” she asked the driver when she had climbed on board. “No Ma’am. Broad street’s as far as we go. You can get a transfer." “Thank you,” said Norma, She took the slip of pink paper and crammed it into her purse. What difference did it make whether she got off at Eighth street or Broad? Ou or two other passengers looked at the white-faced girl curiously. She stared through the window, unaware of these glances. Half an hour’s ride brought them to Broad. street. Norma followed the others out of the bus. She glanced up and down the street, then started walking westward. Across the street the hands of an. illuminated sidewalk clock shone clearly. Seven forty-five, Norma was surprised to find it so late. Last night at this time she and Mark had been packing his travel- ing bags. Last night? It must have been years ago! “I can’t go on this way,” Norma told herself. “I've got to decide what to do.” 3 She had come to the end of her plans.

The use of this substance in cases of Addison’s disease prevents the de- velopment of the disease and main. tains life. Some of the earlier stud- jes were made by Dr. F. H. Hartman of the University of Buffalo and Drs. Rogoff and Stewart of the Western Reserve University School of Medi- cine in Cleveland. Dr. Hartman obtained -a potent substance from the cortex of the ad- renal gland, also near the kidney.
