In the Valley They Say that. . .
THE VEGETABLE MARKETING INDUSTRY
NEEDS A CODE
More and more is it becoming apparent that the
vegetable marketing industry of the country needs regul-
ation of the sort provided by the citrus marketing agree-
ment signed by citrus growers of California Arizona
Florida and Texas.
Fact that this agreement is for the time being held
in abeyance because of legal complications in no wise
lessens the need and the advisability of a sincere effort
to control vegetable shipments.
For instance—our old friend cabbage.
The Valley market ruined first by uncontrolled ship-
ments from the Nueces flats around Corpus Christi and i
Robstown and ruined according to press reports by un-
controlled truck shipments out of Florida.
And not the Valley market alone but the whole set-
up from the Valley on up around the Gulf Coast region j
over into Florida suffering a most severe set-back no-
body making any money because cabbage is rolling out
in a veritable flood.
Picture how different would be the situation were
there a control committee with authority to say today—
“On Monday the United States can assimilate in its mar-
kets a sum total of 160 cars of cabbage and if no more
than thi* total is shipped the price to the growers may
well be held at $20 per ton. Therefore not more than
150 cars of cabbage will be shipped on Monday to be j
divided as follows: Florida 40 cars; Texas 75 cars; I
Louisiana and Georgia 35 cars."
How much better off would all sections be with cab- j
bage bringing their growers $20 per ton as against a
probable price of $6 per ton if the shipments were allow^-
•d to roll uncontrolled.
A mere 26 to 50 cars thrown on that market would
drive the price down to $6 or $8 per ton. That amount of
surplus has driven the price down in the past will do it
again.
The citrus Industry is on the road to mending the
situation of ita producers. The vegetable industry rep- j
resenting as much If not more money to its growers is
lagging behind.
A code of fair competition providing for a eontrol
tommittee ie needed by the vegetable industry.
MORE SPEED
The effort to increase the speed of the airplane only
has begun if we are to accept the prediction of an arti-
cle in the new journal of the Aeronautical Sciences. This
article presents plans for an airplane which would fly
at a speed of 544 miles an hour—a speed so tremendous
that we can begin to appreciate it only by realizing that
it is not far below the speed of sound waves in the air.
. What an airplane of this speed would do to existing
schedules is obvious. New York would be less than two
hours from Chicago Honolulu would be less than five
hours from San Francisco and one could get from the
United States to Europe in something like seven hours.
The prospect is dazzling—none the less so for all the
fact that our actual need for such speeds is not exactly
indisputable.

NOW SO ON WITH THR STORY
CHAPTER XI
'J'H* streets were full of scurry-
ing crowd*. Already although
it was eerly afternoon the lamps
were lighted. moons glowing in a
blue dusk. All along the avenue
these lamps made a chain and peo-
ple hurrying past through the
mow. scuffled on without noticing.
The shop windows were gay with
tinsal and ribboned boxes and gilt
tering things to eat and to wear I
The trouble was Tom Wearer j
wanted none of these. He wan
lered along with his coat collar
up. staring and puzzling about
what to get Gypay. She should
nave (be thought) that delicious
silvery squirrel coat In the corner
shop. She should have a glittering
string of real jewels to adorn her :
pretty throat. And he groaned to
himself for a stupid fool because
he could not buy her these things. !
Christmas! Oh. It would be a
glorious thing if a man could go
out with his hand in his pocket
and buy what he saw—this and
this and this—without ever asking
the cost or counting It afterward! |
Only the trouble was. some of ns
have to consider the landlord and
the grocer and the tailor. We'd
love to make a grand gesture. Tom
told himself only we’re worms and
tage slaves and we haven’t brains
•mouth to corral enough money to
io It.
So be trudged along atarlng
moodily into first this window and
i then that one. Christmas was only
four days away and still he had
nothing for Gypsy. Ten dollars—
fifteen—twenty—that was the wary j
most he could spend.
At last he bought her a bottle
of scent—mimosa. It was—and a
book she had been wanting and a
pair of gloves long sleek white
ones. Christmas morning he would
add roses and her favorite candy.
But he was still dissatisfied. Ills
mood of discouragement hung over
him. It was a half day at the
office. He had nothing further to
do and Gypay herself was shopping.
But he was not conscious of the
Christmas spirit He was disgusted
with himself for not being a cap-
latn of finance — like Marko
Broughton.

. Gypsy went briskly
■dvui uer purchasing. She
had things for Mums and Daddy
and the twins She had a re
splendent rose crepe ktmona for
Clytis. But Tom? He was last on
her list because closest and best
beloved. He needed — oh. every- :
thing! Socks and ties and shirts
and gloves. But what proeaic
things thought Oy$sy. humorously
to put on the altar of the loved
one!
What she wanted really was to
buy him one of those wafer-thin 1
platinum watcbea. Ha carried Ms |
father * heavy old one and it stuck
when you tried to open it She
wanted to buy him an opulent blue
satin dressing gown so that he
might look like a second-act hero.
She wanted to buy him a top bat.
because he would look so well In
one. and Derek Blise owned one
But bow?
After a while she got dreadfully
tired. During the early part of the
afternoon the crowds had given her
a sense of mild exhilaration. But
now that feeling had dwindled and
she was conscious mainly of an
ache in her shoulder and of im
moose fatigue. You were pulled
this way and that You never knew
which way you were going. The
crowd sucked you In and drew you
along Ilka the tide.
Somehow she found herself In
a little corner sweet-shop. It wax
more expensive than those she
usually patronised but she was
actually too tired to go any farther
at the moment
She looked down at the menu In
ita silver bolder. Tea and toast
would restore her feeling of gaiety.
She sat back giving her order and
glanced about her.
Quite without warning her eyee

table. He bad risen ... he was
bowing . . . now be was coming
toward her.
"Marko!" Gypsy murmured. And j
indeed he was the last person on ;
earth you would have expected to i
find here!
Marko’s manner with her was
perfect. No hint now of the dis (
carded gallant. No he was almost
fatherly. How was she—and that j
handsome husband of hers?

/^YPSY found herself babbling to
him of all sorts of things
The waitress fluttered ovey. remov-
ing his order to her table and
they settled cosily down to a talk.
He was suave he was polished
thought Gypsy and yet yon felt be
really eared what happened to you
—to all his friends. She told him
about her afternoon. How Tom
would have hated to hear her! But
indeed there waa nothing disloyal
In her conversation. It was just an
innocent outpouring.
Presently Marko knew every-
thing. About Tom's cut. and the'
watch she wanted to get him. but
couldn't and the apartment and all
the rest.
"My dear child . . Hla eyes
were almost suffused. That was one
embarrassing thing about Marko.
be wept easily. "My dear child you
really must let me help you . . ."
All at once she realized what she
was doing. She caught herself up.
“But really Marko I love It It’s
fun. You mustn’t mind what 1
say." She was bitterly ashamed of
herself for having said anything
But that was the worst of being a
babbler. Her mother had always
warned her against it
“No. no." He was patting her
hand now. He waa all gentleness
and sympathetic Interest "It's a
shame a lovely child like you hasn't
everything she *wanta You must
let me do something really."
There waa more of this. Gypsy
protested ahe would gladly have
bitten her tongue out to have re-
called some of her confidences At
length she managed to convince
Marko that she meant what she
said Of course he was used to
women trying to get things from
him! Naturally that waa what he
bad thought ahe meant. Her cheeks
burned at the thought
She finished her tea and Marko
paid for it Hla fur collared coat
hla axpenaive soft hat made him
look a little like a corpulent opera
singer. Gypsy was conscious of
beads turning to watch them aa
they left the shop. 8he was just
about to give him her hand In part-
ing when a great car altd up from
no where and a uniformed man
held open the door.
“Nonsense my dear I’m drop-
ping you wherever you want to go."
Marko handed her in. and a fur rug
was wrapped around her wet ga-
loshes. The door shut noiselessly
and the motor slid forward. Marko
held a lighter to bis cigareL
“Look here" be said exhaling
slowly. "I've an idea for you to
earn some extra money. You huve
Saturdays haven’t you? An. then
you remember how you admired
my library. It’a sadly in need of
cataloguing. Something I'vw never
got around to. Yoa eould do it
for me.”

QYP8YS eyes were round irttb
pleasure and excitement. This
waa something else again. TaMog
help from Marko waa. of eoorMJ
quite out of the question. He mast'
understand once and for aU fb**
she wasn't in the class with the
pretty ladlea who “worked him" for
the sweets of life. But If she eowld
do some real work for him. work
that needed to be done that waa
another matter.
"I—you're terribly nl«# to think
of It" she murmured.
The details wart arranged
Marko was most businesslike about
It all. No one In hla senses thought
Gypsy with pride eould hare sue
pected him of an unworthy motive
His man would be there to receive
her. everything would be ready
This was what? The twenty-first!
Well she eould start work the fol
lowing week. If she liked.
"And. of course. I shall give you
an advance" Marko amiled.
Gypsy protested but to no avail.
A banknote was pressed into her
reluctant palm. Marko had given
her address to the chauffeur
through the speaking tube but she
had scarcely noticed that they
were drawing up before her own
door.
“Saturday then!" Marko handed
her out as though she were s
princess.
Gypsy turned and waved goodby
Then she sped like an arrow
through the flying snowflakes Into
the lobby. Surely that waa Toms
tall figure she had seen. Just round
Ing the corner. She was eonscious
of heightened color and quickened
heartbeat. She told herself that
Tom needn't know about her pact
with Marko just now — he might
not like it and there was no use
quarreling about It.
The hallboy held the elevator
door wide and Gypsy slipped with
In. stuffing the bill into her purse
She had scarcely done so before
Tom strode through the lobby.
“Here comes Mist' Weaver." the
boy grinned. Gypsy waa terribly
nervous. Had Tom seen her enter!
His look of pleased surprise and
his greeting dispelled the sue-
pidon. The words were on the tip
of her tongue. “I Just ran Into
Marko Broughton . .
But she rought them back. Some-
thing warned her this waa not a
propitious time to tell him. The
banknote burned. It seemed to ber.
through the thin lining of her
purse.
Oh. she would buy Tom the I

him a really nice Christmas I .
