Economist Approves
Work Center Idea
COLLEGE STATION The value
of rural work center activities in
which persons now ’ on relief rolls
are enabled to manufacture simple
,i tides ne.d. ' in farm homes and
exchange them for raw materials
and foodstuffs was stressed by Dr.
Mordecai Ezekiel, chief economic ad-
viser to the Agricultural djUst-
ment Administration,' Washington,
D. C., who has been tour ng the
Sou'hwest talking to Extension and
relief groups and vjsiting farm
homes and relief agencies during-
December,
Dr. Ezekiel addressed A and M
College faculty members at College
Station on present plans and fu-
ture problems in agricultural ad
justment, relating them to domes-
tic unemployment as well as to
the world trade situation. He re-
minded them that the rural work
center idea iK a distinctive Texas
contribution to New Deal thought
and emphasized the opportunity for
the distribution of farm products
with relief clients working in such
centers.
“There has been an enormous in-
crease of rural population during
these bad years and that means an
increased agricultural problem
where the returned family goes in-
to farming as an occupation. But
the rural work center affords a
solution of that difficulty and of-
fers a good chance also for Texas
to develop a program of home in-
dustries which will create much
wealth within the State.
“Relief dents manufacturing sim-
ple household furniture, from lum-
ber made at the work center, or
leather articles from hides tan-
ned there, or bedding from home-
grown cotton and wool, or adobe
bricks or other building materials
from local materials and exchang-
ing the finished articles for food
stuffs and raw materials for more
articles are not to be regarded as
competing with established business.
They are in fact helping to!
raise standards of rural living and
thereby creating a market for more
manufactured goods,” Dr. Ezekiel
said.

Chapter VII
MARY AND DILL
The Todd penthouse blazed with
xcitement. New York’s smart set
lad turned out to frolick —and Con-
nie had arranged a three-ripged
circus of an evening.
Connie wandered from room to
room in pleased satisfaction. As
she neared the arched doorway
'leading to the foyer she observed
the butler taking wraps from two
new arrivals.
She advanced to greet them.
“Good evening. Mr Williams. Ho
nice-”
Jeff bowed formally. “Thank you
This is Mias Clay ” He turned to
Mary "Mary, this is Mrs Todd ”
A brief but telling look of ap-
praisal passed between the two
women.
“How do you do. Miss Clay.” Con-
nie was most graeious A little too
gracious. “Dill has spoken of you
breathe the same air as I 4e—or
does it remind you of what a cheap
trick you pplled on her?”
Dill winced. “That has nothing
to do with it. 8he might at least
have been spared——”
Connie laughed in derie'on.
•There's no law that say* you have
got to accept every invitation you
get' She came here because she
wanted to.”
“She came here for reasons you
couldn't even spell! She came here
because she's—she'd’ ■ u”.
“Everything your wife ts- not""
supplemented Connie sarcastically
"Is that it?"
“YeB." answered Dill as he left
her quickly Suddenly the whole"
party palled on him. He moved sul-
lenly through the rooms and then
'Turned back to the terrace He
looked down at the city below, lost
In thought, in hurt and anger. A
burst of laughter startled him into
realization of his surroundings. He
turned in its direction and saw
Shep, Eleanor. Mary and Jeff
grouped together over cocktails.
Their laughter died down as sud-
denly as. it had sounded as he ap-
proached them There was a mo-
ment's awkward sifepce
“Am I‘"interrupUng anything?"
asked Dill apologetically
“Not at'all." Mary-answered him
“We were just commenting on what
a lovely party this Is-” ,
Dills heart leaped to his eyes as
he looked at her “Hello, Mary.”
“Hello, Dill,” she answered quietl' -
He took her hand in his. “Mary
I want to talk to you."
Jeff looked at Mary's face. He
rose to his feet, taking Eleanor and
Shep by the arm. "Come on chil-
dren," he said firmly "I'll give you
some matches to play with—" he
sent a last, worried glance to Mary
Mary and Dill started apurt as Connie advanced toward them. "You
were rehearsing a scene
from a play, no doubt/
she said caustically;--
so often.”
“And how is Dill?" asked Mary
casually
“Splendid, thank you.” Connie's
fare grew wistful. “My dear. I sup-
pose I owe you an apology.”
"Nice kitty shows her claws now,"
thought Mary as she asked inno-
cently. “An apology? Why?”
'Tor the way I snatched Dill
away from you at the altar." Con-
nie's wistfulness was somewhat im-
paired by her tone. ■
Mary's eyes opened wide in sur-
prise; “Ob did you really do that ?“
she asked She moved toward Con-
nie as she said, confidentially "But
you actually married hint in Paris,
last year. Didn't you?”
"Why — why no.” ■ Connie lost
ground for a moment "1—I only
met Dill In Parla.”
"How funny.” Mary's tone dripped
honey. "A friend of mine told me
everyone assumed that you two
were married. Probably just one of
thoee eilly rumors."
“Very silly," answered Connie
tartly. She turned away.
Mary smiled at Jeff surrepti-
tiously He grinned as he shook
both hands above his head. “Round
one Is yours!" his eyes said.
“I’ll recolnnoiter a bit," he re-
marked as he followed In the direc-
tion taken by Connie. He entered
the drawing room and looked about
him. Dill rushed over.
“Jeff!" he exclaimed. "I thought
It was you. Glad you wandered
"I didn't wander In," answered
Jetr. "I was invited.”
“Of course,” smiled Dill in em-
barrassment. ”1 remember. Tell
me—uh—how are things?”
"Fine. How are things with
you?"
“Pretty fair." There was a pause
"See any of the old crowd?'' asked
DH1
"Now and then—most of them.”
Jeffs tone grew casual. "Incidental-
ly. Mary is here.”
Dllt stared at him. “What? You.
brought Mary with you?”
Jeff shook his head. "No. She
brought me. On her invitation.”
, “Oh.” Dill was speechless for a
moment. ’'Jeff," he said finally, “I
didn't know about that. You know
1 wouldn't-’’
“No,” anawered Jeff soberly. “I
didn't think you would."
“I can't understand—* said Dill
slowly. Hr eyed Jeff blankly. Sud-
denly hie'expression changed. “Say
Pardon me. please.” He rushed
away In search of Connie. He
forced her to leave her gueets and
follow him to the terrace.
“Now whet le It?” she esked
testily ea they came to a stop. ,
Dill eetzed her arm. “Why did ,
you ask Mery to this party?”
“Why—“ Connie's face wee all as-
tonishment. “What do yon mean?”
Dill glamored a* her “Sometimes
you're just cheap and vulpsr and

velee trembled with rage. "le Mary

as he led them out of earshot ant
on into the drawing room.
Mary and Dill stood motionlesi
for a moment.
"Mary—f Dill's voice was plead
j ing. -----
She turned fronjj him to look ovei
t the parapet.
“Mary You must listen. I had
nothing to do with asking you here
I was as surprised as you must
have been-”
"I know, Dill.” Her finality seemed
jo end the discussion.
“Well—I—I just thought you'd like
to know." be finished lamely.
Mary remained silent.
“I’m glad we can talk to each
other this way," he ventured at last.
“It is nice, isn't it?" her voice
was friendly, sweet.
"Yes.” He paused again and then
began to talk, hla words falling
faster and faster as he spoke; “Let's
vgo on talking. We'll discuss Russia
and the weather and have you read -*“•"
any good books lately. But sooner
or later. Mary, we've got to sa)
what we must say We've got to tell
each other anything that Is in out
hearts.”
"I won't listen to you, Dill," she
said abruptly. She started for th<
door, but Dill stopped her.
"You've got to," he whispered
"Mary I did something to you se
horrible It doesn't seem real. 1
can't say I'm sorry—It Is such a
weak word. But I've been miser-
able about it—"
“What do you think I’ve been do-
ing?" Mary's voice was taut with
the effort of control. "Turning cart,
wheels?”
"I know, Mary. That's whet hurl
me most—thinking of you.”
"Well you needn't any longer.” ihe
flared. "I’m through, Dill. Can't
you see? I'm rid of it. Therejsn't
anything left—nothing at all!"vNv
He moved closer to her.
“You don’t mean that," he pleaded.
She looked at him intently. “You
know 1 do," she answered quietly.
“And you know Tm right."
“But this len t a case of right and
wrong, Mary!" his voice broke. 'I
haven't stolen a loaf of bread. I
love you!’
"But I don't love you any mors,”
she answered flatly.
Dill's arms circled her. She
struggled against him as he held
her closely, fiercely to him. "Tou
must.” he cried. "You can’t stop
just Ilka that!”
She tried to force herself from his
embrace. She raised her head to
avoid his kiss, and looked wildly
about her for Jeff. He was no where
In sight; but advancing toward'
them from the doorway was Oen*
nie, her fees alight wtth vindic-
