hair, was hers until the end of time,
whether they ever saw each other af-
ter today or not. Every fiber of her
being was straining to claim him
again; her ears ached to hear his
voice—more of it; and she knew that
her hands, no matter how busy they
might seem to be with social service,
and gift shops, and dainty little
makeshifts of all sorts, would be for-
ever useless until once again they
were privileged to hand this man his
morning cup of coffee, guide his mo-
tor-car while he lighted his cigaret,
slip about his shoulders, when she
sat on the arm of his chair and looked
down to see what book he was read-
ing. :
Che began to be frightened, terribly
afraid that she would lose him. Her
heart beat hard, and her mouth felt
dry. She said “What?” stupidly, like
a peasant. : : ,
“} invited you to dine with me. he
said. :
“Qh, yes. Oh, yes.” He opened the
vestibule doors for her, on their way
to the dining-car, and she _brushed
against him as she passed him.
Frank Guthrie—she said in her
soul. And the entire cosmos, the hot,
moving car and the big moving world
outside the car, and the summer sun
getting ready to go down, all seemed
to echo the syllables like the solving
of a great chord. Of course, her life
was Frank Guthrie, Frank good and
bad, sick and well. Frank desperate
and gambling and drinking in his
heartbreak, or Frank tender and hu-
morous and puzzled over a little crib.
All these years she had been hunting
only to find Frank again, Frank who
might mean anxiety and disappoint-
ment, but who meant life again, too!
“] asked you if it was still soup
jelly and cold chicken on nights like
this,” ke was saying.
“Frank, I do beg your pardon! I
didn’t hear you.”
They talked about Betty, and the
Moreheads, and somewhat guardedly,
about themselves. Eve gathered that
Frank Guthrie was a very important
person now. A consulting engineer—
it was really impressive.
He had done it without her. She
felt chilled and discouraged as she
chatted on gaily and brightly, and he
listened with his old indulgent half-
smile. All the time her heart im-
plored him, “Frank, don’t let me leave
you again! Frank, no matter how ter-
rible a botch we made of it—we be-
long to each other.”
She hinted to him the score of de-
lightful possibilities the summer had
had for her. Tom and Alice were go-
ing abroad, they wanted her to come.
And she had an enormously rich old
beau; nothing serious in that, of
course, but he was really a charming
old fellow. And, of course, Betty's
father’s camp was simply the most
glorious place imaginable.
Would he give her an address? she
asked him, at parting. She was sup-
posedly to get off the train at mid-
night, and she determined to stay in
her berth until he should have got
off, the next morning, in Montreal.
Frank asked for an address himself,
by way of reply. His plans were un-
certain; he had been moving about a
good deal.
decided upon the Engineers’ Club and
the National Arts Club.
She went to her section, restless
and excited and sick with confused
emotions, tried to arrange her things,
tried to think, found both impossible,
and finally, on the flimsy excuse that
{her berth was to be made up, wan-
dered out to the observation-car
again, and—as she had known she
would—found Frark Guthrie there
again, big, and thin, and quiet, and
quite as obviously expectant of see-
ing her again as she had been of see-
ing him.
“My porter—"” she was beginning
her little deception when Frank inter-
rupted.
“J was hoping you’d come back. I
had to see you again, Eve. There’s
something I want to say,” he said.
“Step out here.”
They went out to the dark back
platform, in the close throbbing night
and the lights of the distant cities
shone in angry, smoldering pink upon
the sky, and the nearer lights flashed
by them with long comet tails of
orange and green.
“What I wanted to say to you,”
Frank said, “is that I'm not going to
a consultation. I'm beginning all ov-
er. I’ve not got a cent, and I'm not
sure of my job. For the past four
years I've been taking care of my
father, down in Arizona.”
A jerk of his head indicated the
black band on his sleeves. For a long
minute, looking at him, Eve was per-
fectly still. Then suddenly, in the
old warm, tender way, her soft little
boneless hand, like a fluttering but-
terfly was in his, and her whole slim
person lurched just a little against
his shoulder.
“Ah-h-h!” she said, on a long sigh
i! relief. For Eve had sighted har-
or.
Blinking and shy and radiant, they
re-entered the lighted car as the train
came to a standstill in the next big
city, and while Frank went to send a
telegram, Eve sat down next to a
stout, friendly, middle-aged woman
and plunged at once into the sort of
conversation for the want of which
her soul had been shriveled for years.
Mr. Guthrie, Eve told the woman,
was an engineer, going up to a place
called Booker’s Canyon, to bid on a
bridge. Yes, an engineer’s wife cer-
tainly came to know the world. Oh,
no, Eve didn’t mind, she was going to
try to manage social work there her-
self. The band was for Mr. Guthrie's
father—yes, he had been devoted, he
had spent the last four years down in
Arizona with him.
No, she hadn’t been there all the
time, she had relatives in New York.
And, oh yes, Mrs. Watson was quite
right, when you were married the
main thing was to be together; it
didn’t matter whethér fT was Broad-
really an odd coinci
Eve hesitated, and they |
way or Booker’s anyon, Yes, it was
ence, their both
having positions in the same out-of-
the-way place; Mrs. Watson had no
idea quite how much of a co-inci-
dence!
Frank came back, and middle-aged
Mrs. Watson did not approve of the
way that nice burned, thin man looked
at his wife.
“Any telegrams to send, Eve?”
Frank asked, joining them. “Any en-
gagements to break?”
“Well, I have one engagement I
hope to keep,” said Eve, “ but it isn’t
until next year and there’s plenty of
time for that!”
“With whom?” Frank asked.
“Nobody you know, but somebody
you'll like, It’s with a young gen-
tleman.”—Kathleen Norris in Cosmo-
politan.
Young Farmers’ Week June 12 to 15.
For the ninth time farm boys and
girls will gather at State College,
June 12 to 15, in the annual Young
Farmers’ week, Allen L. Baker, State
club leader has announced.
The dates have been set forward
this year to permit those in attend-
ance to take more complete advan-
tage of the general Farmers’ Day
program on Friday, June 15, and to
allow checking out on Friday for all
boys and girls whose parents attend
the Farmers’ Field Day.
The local county agent will act as
representative of the agricultural ex-
tension division in the capacity of
county chairman, working in co-opera-
tion with vocational teachers and su-
pervisors in handling local details and
arrangements.
Baker announces that the first 400
boys enrolled will be given advantage
of the usual arrangement for housing
in the College armory. Those en-
rolled above that number will be
quartered in fraternity and rooming
houses in town where the rates are
usually one dollar per night. The en-
rollment last year was 5256 and a
larger number is expected this year.
This is sufficient evidence to urge
early enrollment if armory accomo-
dations are desired.
Girls in attendance must be accom-
panied by at least one adult chaperon
from each county. Reservations, ac-
companied by a deposit of $1 per girl,
must reach the club office at State
College by June 1.
On Tuesday evening the first meet-
ing will be held. Three one hour per-
iods for sectional meetings of vo-
cational students and club members
are scheduled for Wednesday and
Thursday. Judging contests will oc-
cur Wednesday morning, and the
awards will be made Thursday even-
ing. On Thursday the various de-
partments of the School of Agricul
ture will be inspected and on Friday
the exhibits and demonstrations for
Farmers’ Field Day will compose the
program.

Milk Value from State Farms Now
is $109,188,000.
Dairy cows in the Commonwealth
produced over 422,000,000 gallons of
milk valued in excess of $109,780,000, .
according to estimates made public |
today by the bureau of statistics, of
the Pennsylvania Department of Ag-
riculture. Milk is regarded as the
most valuable of any product on the
farms of Pennsylvania and is said to
be the principal source of farm rev-
enue in more than half of the coun-
ties.
More and more of the milk pro-
duced each year is being sold as
whole milk and less is being made in-
to butter. There were almost 100,-
000,000 more gallons of milk but only
one-third as much butter made on the
farms of the State in 1927 as in 1909.
The decrease in the number of
cows apparent since the World war
was stopped during 1927 when the
number actually increased 10,000.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT
“I cannot do much,” said a little star,
“To make this dark world bright:
My silver beams cannot reach far
Through the folding gloom of night,
But I am a part of God’s great plan
And so I'll do the best I can.”
Black has returned as an active fac-
tor in the hosiery field. For a long
while the gun metal shades were giv-
en the preference wherever a dark
shade was necessary, but black has
crept back insidiously, and now it
struts boldly forth.
Especially in the fine mesh of fish-
net weave it is used with evening
frocks of black chiffon, and with tea
gowns.
The prevalence of the black and
white costume is responsible for this.
Although the net hose are not real-
ly a new arrival, they have been dis-
regarded more or less until recently.
So much approval have they received
from the most conservative, that the
sheer lisle has taken them up.
.As a result we have diamond
weaves, square weaves, clox, and new
heel construction. Very exciting, this
variation from the conventional knit
hosiery.
You are already familiar with the
diverse forms of design of heel. Each
presumably has a purpose beyond
decoration. The pointed heel, the tri-
point, the fleur de lis, and the hour
glass all claim slenderization of mi-
lady’s ankles. Then there is the heel-
less hose, recommended for evening,
and the narrow heel, and the short
heel, and so on. Now comes the
checkerboard heel, which is square in
shape, and in tones of the same shade.
This is very amusing so far, but
I am besieged with the fear that these
will soon be black and white, tan and
green, and give us the same nausea
that those black heeled, white hose
did last year. We are assured that
these checkerboard hose are intended
for evening, but the really perfect
place for them is the sports costume.
And spzaking of sports, the hose
designed for golf and summer out-
door activities is much improved on
the past. In the first place, the de-
signs are more interesting, and in the
second and more important, they are
usually self-toned. I'm tired of seeing
otherwise entrancing limbs clothed in
hideous greens and yellows. These
are mostly fawn and beige and the
designs of those zig-zaggy up-and-
down lines that don’t increase the
circumference of the calf.
Lots and lots of beige are destined
for summer wear. The natural shades
are particularly good and there is
much of tha yellow beige that you
must have to wear the yellow beige
frock you have at least one of. Then
there are the complexion tints, in-
spired by those who insist that you
match your hose to your skin.
It’s so much easier to get different
shades of powder. However, the sun-
burned shades are glorious, and the
French nude has lost some of its
pinkness and become really divine in
color. And there are orchid and rose
chiffons that make summer evenings,
in 2 matching frock, a joy to antici-
pate, ,
Gloves, according to reports from
Paris, favor simplicity in trimming,
although some form of embellishment
is used. Color is again important.
Gray and beige are popular colors, as
are also the new light browns that
match the walnut shoe shades.
white is another important color for
wear with the dressy afterncon en-
semble.
Brack gloves in glace kid and
mocha with white stitching on the
backs and cuffs are being worn. The
very fine white kid glove also is still
to the forc. These are noted in both
slip-on and single button models, with
only slight touches of trimming on
the cuffs, either in applique work or
. embroidery.
Of the more tailored gloves which
and tuberculosis eradication have in are worn with the new daytime frocks
part at least resulted in an increased and costumes,
animal production per cow of from
40 to 50 gallons of milk during the
past eight years. This increased pro-
duction and the greater demand for
dairy products and good breeding
stock have increased the average val-
ue of the cow to $103, $5 more than
the highest average price reached
during the war.
One of the Youngsters.
C. E. Faulkner, Lake Worth, Fla.,
writing to the National Tribune, of
Washington, D. C., says that he was
among the young soldiers to enlist
in the Civil war, having enlisted be-
fore he was 17 years of age. He
writes that nearly three-fourths of
the Union army was made up of men
who were under 21. In that connec-
tion he gives the following table,
which, he writes, was published some
i ago by Maj. Gen. Abner Double-
ay:
“Total enlistment for the Union
army during the Civil war (not in-
cluding re-enlistments) were as fol-
lows:

Lindbergh to Go to School to Learn
More About Aviation.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh found
his way to Paris alone in a single
hop from Roosevelt Field, L. I., in
record time, but it developed yester-
day that he has admitted there’s a
lot he must learn about aviation.
Lieut. Com. P. V. H. Weems, U.
S. N., has been assigned as his tutor,
and has written in the officers’ book
in the navy building as his assign-
ment—* To teach Lindbergh naviga-
tion.”
Yesterday, Lindy hopped off in his
new Ryan monoplane for an unan-

the strapped models ap-
pear to be in vogue. These gloves are
not so mannish looking as those
shown in previous seasons, for the
straps are finished with new buckles
in the modernistic manner. Some of
the newest slip-on gloves are open at
the tops and linked together with reg-
ular cuff links and made in new de-
signs and color schemes.
There is at present quite a demand
for the old-fashioned type of shop-
ping bag made in strong sturdy leath-
er. These are wanted for traveling
purposes, probably because of their
roominess. The colors asked for are
dark brown, black, gray and green.
Women are using them to carry small
hand bags and purses and selecting
them to harmonize with the remain-
der of their luggage.
Have a place in which you put
folded, the clean paper sacks which
come from the grocery.. They are so
convenient for a number of uses. I
slip mine into the space between my
kitchen cabinet and the wall. Usual-
ly they stick there nicely, because I
do not fold them tightly; and I can
easily lay my hand on the size I want.
Occasionally, they drop down and I
have to have a clearing out time, us-
ing the broom handle to poke them
out.
If you have half an cnion, or a cut
cabbage, or a head lettuce or celery,
the paper sack keeps the air from
them. If you bring up from the cel-
lar more potatoes or carrots than you
need, the paper sack keeps them from
drying out in the warm air of the
kitchen. Sometimes, if I wish espe-
cially to keep a vegetable fresh I put
an extra paper sack outside the first.
If you are putting things into the ice-
box, as celery or cheese, and you wish
to confine its odor, enwrap it in two
paper sacks, one inside the other.
Waxed bread papers are good for
this use. I save mine for all sorts
of uses. Wrap up the half lemon or
grape fruit which is left over, cover
the milk bottle top, in short, use the
paper sack or waxed paper to wrap
around any dish of food which is left
over from a meal, thus keeping out
the dust and the drying air.

FARM NOTES.
One of the features of the annual
meeting of the Indiana county Sheep
and Wool Growers’ association last
Friday was an exhibit of rifles and
guns which have made history in the
fight against sheep-killing dogs.
This association is one of the oldest
and best organized among the 28 of
the county associations of the State.
During the past eight years, 225,000
pounds of wool have been marekted
through the association pool.
W. B. Connell, extension sheep and
wool specialist of the Pennsylvania
Siste College, spoke on flock manage-
men
A milking contest for the “co-eds”
of the Pennsylvania State College at
the recent dairy exposition there was
won by Elizabth Field, a two-year ag-
ricultural student from East Falls.
She was awarded a silver loving cup
given by the Penn State chapter of
the American Dairy Science associa-
tion, the group sponsoring the expo-
sition.
Other prize winners in the contest
were Caroline Eckels, Clarks Sum-
mit; Margery Weyhenmeyer, Mount-
tain Top; Zela Welsh, Orangeville,
and Sara Worthington, Warrington.
Trees severely injured by storms
should be entirely removed. It is bet-
ter to do this than to let them stand
with a few bare stumps of branches
pointing skyward in despair. In all
instances injured branches should be
removed entirely.
Do you know that if you begin with
a destruction, by the clean-up, of 96
per cent of the European corn borers,
there would still be at large 4 out
of each 100 borers from last year’s
brood? Of these 4 borers, 2 will
normally be females. These 2 fe-
males will lay on the average, 400
eggs each—or 800 eggs for both of
them. Destruction of eggs, and
death of the young borers will leave
only about 120—or 15 per cent—of
the entire possible number of 800 to
become established as corn destroy-
ers. If these 120 come through the
dangers that, fortunately, beset bor-
ers, the rate of increase will be one
and one-fifth borers for each one of
the preceding year.
So that you will not forget when
the time comes for suceessive sowings
of beets, radishes, and such crops, it
is well to mark the dates on a cal-
endar.
Early planting of dahlias allows a
longer period of flowering. Plant
now if the ground is warm enough.
Leafy vegetables, such as lettuce,
spinach, kale, cabbage, endive, and
chard, will grow much more rapidly
with top dressings of nitrate of soda.
Before cultivating sprinkle the ferti-
lizer on the soil at the rate of 50
pounds per acre or about one pound
| to 50 feet of row. Do not get the ni-
trate on the foliage.
Sweet clover stands out in front of
all the soil improvement crops. Coun-
ty agent R. C. Blaney asserts. For
improving the soil this legume has
gained an unequalled position. When
sown early in the spring and allowed
to grow without cutting until killed
by. the frost, it will contain 75 to 125
pounds of nitrogen in the roots alone
per acre.
One of the peculiarities of this crop
which makes it different from others,
is that during the latter part of the
first season top growth will cease but
the plant will continue making food
which is stored in the roots as reserve
material for the following year’s
growth. Because of this use of re-
. serve material, the second year of
growth often supplies little except an
Increase in organic matter.
In the two year rotation for pota-
toes sweet clover fits exceedingly
| well. Sown in small grain in the
i spring in sections south and east of
the Bluz Ridge mountains it will pro-
duce from one to two tons of dry
matter in its roots and tops, carrying
approximately three per cent nitro-
gen, which makes it one of the best
crops to plow down for potatoes. It
should not be plowed under until it
has made 2 or 3 inches of growth the
following spring. If plowed in the
fall, the roots necessitate replowing
or the plants will be troublesome as
weeds.
When sweet clover is used in a 3-
year rotation, it may be plowed down
in August or September while still
green and rye sown as a Cover crop.
The rye should be sown early as its
chief value is to catch and hold the
fertility made available by the sweet
clover.
While sweet clover will grow well
on poor soil it will not succeed on
sour soil. The land must be well
supplied with lime to get successful
results. County agent R. C. Blaney
recommends taking a sample of soil
which he will gladly test for lime re-
quirement. If no more than a ton
of lime is needed per acre it will be
safe to seed sweet clover after the
lime has been supplied.
Where sweet clover or alfalfa has
not been grown previously on the soil,
innoculation with the proper bacteria
is necessary. Seeding should be done
at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds to the
acre. Usually it is advisable to sow
other clover so that there will be
some growth even if the sweet clover
fails for some reason.
Growth of a super-wheat that will
reach maturity in 13 weeks with nei-
ther soil nor sunlight was announced
at San Francisco by the University of
California. Wheat, under field con-
ditions, often requirés five months to
mature.
The announcement follows comple-
tion of a lengthy research in a labor-
atory on the university campus by
Prof. A. R. Davis of the division of
agriculture chemistry and Prof. D.
R. Roagland of the division of plant
nutrition.
The experiment is recognized by
these scientists as of the widest pos-
sible import.
The wheat was grown, it was re-
vealed, in a greenhouse laboratory
where artificial light was furnished
by means of 12 argon filled lamps of
300 candlepower each and where jars
of water containing the chemical el-
ements necessary for plant growth re-
placed the soil which ordinarily con-
tains them.
