Yes; we want the room cleared so that it can be got ready for dancing." THERE, ANYWAY Mebbe I will. Mebbe not If I do, you plenty. With this comforting assurance, Mary left her, bristling taxi man parked under a live oak, and went across the veranda of the veteran ranch bouse. She paused in the hallway and looked about her. Over their drawings s or estimates leaned khaki-cor lad, putteed engineers. One of them came quickly forward. Something 1 can do for you? May 1 see Mr. Stark?

Hadnt thought he really would do this ! Her eyes roamed the room desperately. She wasnt used to cutting Inconsideration I She was used A little smile came to her lips. Why, she could make this towering man in a second! All she needed to do was to tell him that she was the daughter of his old friend, David Brown. That annihilated all defenses, always. She opened her And closed them, suddenly, lips fearfully. Just in time she remembered that she no longer was using that sesame. The fire came back to her eyes. You wouldnt do that, Mr. Stark! You couldnt be so unfair as to dismiss me without notice? 1 have to have a job! I need the money. Yon can give me a trial. Why condemn me without a bearing?

Mary asked, curiously, Have you a family, Mr. Johnson? My wifes dead! shortly. "You havent told me where you figure you can live." Where do the engineers Live? Single ones live in camps on the ranch. You cant live there, the only Married ones lives In Foggy girL Gulch, since the kingpin wont have no woman in his paradise. Then I shall live In Foggy Gulch." How would you get back and forth? How do the others get back and forth? Have cars. Mary hadnt thought of this. She didnt intend to think of it now. That was a mere detail to be taken up later. Now, Just before her, lay a crucial moment She flung up her head, straightened her shoulders to bolster up her courage, and stepped from the car, Wait, please, Mr. Johnson.

Mary ran the gamut of curious eyes through two rooms toward a smaller one at the rear. She didnt mind the curiosity. These boys would get used to a girl in the profession just as her classmates had done. But she walked among them threatened to be over come with inner disturbance. It had seemed such a trivial thing at home the bit of Information about this Job she had withheld from her father. Trivial, across the continent and as something to be faced in the future.

Ive seen only a little corner of As every one knows, a banana is by the beginning of brown speckling of the yellow skin. The scientific planning required to bring bananas to .the Ultimate consumer in this condition is revealed in a recent issue of Food Industries. Natural enzymes in a few days time convert the starch content of the green banana almost completely into sugar. This ripening is evidenced by a change of color in the skin from green (unripe) to yellow, then to yellow flecked with brown (ripe). The fruit ripens from center out as the enzymes convert the starch first into sucrose or crystalline sugar, and then into invert sugar. The fully ripened fruit contains approximately half its sugar content in the form of sucrose and half as invert sugar. Ripening Is controlled by temperature and humidity. The most desirable temperature has been found to be from 62 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit When rapid ripening is necessary the temperature is Increased as much as 3 degrees, Fahrenheit, per hour within that temperature range without its having any injurious effect on the She had given up hope of anything but untU die partial relief learned of famous NR Tablets But now after yean of (Natures chronic constipatwn and biliousness what I New a change pep new color and vitality freedom from bowel sluggishness and Inlaxative testinal poisons.

Ill welcome them with open arms," he assured her, in due course. For the present. Ive had to rule them out. Youll understand. We cant be bothered with settlers while the project Is nothing but virgin wilderness. We couldnt take care of them decently. Ive even asked the engineers not to bring their wives yet We men can get along roughing it In camps. But so far as hiring a girl as. one of the engineers, theres no reason why Mr. Stark should consult me. Hes ruler of his own domain. Marys eyes went from one to the other of them.

During the warming period heavy condensation of moisture on the fruit takes place, which seems to have a beneficial effect When it Is necessary to hold the ripening fruit in an almost static state to prevent overripening, a temperature around 56 degrees, Fahrenheit has been found most satisfactory. Seal Cut Steps in Ice Seals actually cut steps In the perpendicular sides of ice cakes In order to rise from the water for the purpose of breathing. Members of an Antarctic expedition recorded that the seals, which formerly were supposed to leave the water by leaping, cut steps in the slippery surface with the great canine or eye teeth. As soon as the teeth are placed in position, the head is moved rapidly from side to side until fbe ice has been cut away sufficiently to afford a footing for the front flippers of the animal. Each step has to be laboriously cut after this fashion until the body Is far enough out of the water to be thrust up the rest of the way hy a kick of the hind flippers.
