Red raspberry bushes that have
been planted for a season or two
should be checked carefully for
at this time they are susceptible
to a disease known as raspberry
leaf curl.
The edges of the leaves of af-
flicted plants curl, as illustrated)
and the surface of the leaves are
uneven and crinkled. As the dis-
ease progresses the leaves take
on a yellowish-green cast and the
plants become dwarfed and un-
productive.
The disease is spread by aphids.
When it appears in a raspberry
planting, dig up and destroy the
diseased shrubs without delay.
Replant with disease-free stock in
clean soll.

CHAPTER TWELVE
HENRI was so glad to have his
niece back that he could not leave
her alone.
"Now, Leonie," he said as they
sat down to supper, “we hope
you’re going to find lots of things
to occupy your time." He had said
the same thing at dinner.
“Oh, there’s lots of things to do,”
Leonie said, but she didn’t believe
it.
“There are, of course, lots of
people to pay calls on,” Henri said.
"First of all there’s Cousin Julie.
She’s getting very old, and she’s
had a shock in the death of poor
Cousin Tessie."
"I’ll go and see her tomorrow,”
Leonie promised. "And thank Cous-
in Annette for the earrings she
sent me at school.”
" Y our • old teachers—” Henri
said.
"I’ll go to see them, too.”
"And your old Dah. She’s too
crippled up with rheumatism to
come and see you.”
"Of course I’ll go to see Dah.”
"Well, now, Leonie," Heloise
said, "that gives you a full week’s
visiting to do. Maybe if you have
a few minutes in between you’ll go
to see the Garrison girls and some
of your friends.”
Impulsively Leonie got up and
went over to Henri and kissed his
cheek. "You’re an old angel,
Uncle,” she said. “I wish you
weren’t a relative of mine. I’d mar-
ry you.”
"You little rascal,” Henri said,
and then his brow furrowed. He
spoke with an air of great signifi-
cance. "Your aunt and I," he said
ponderously, “have felt very happy
that we Were able to give you the
advantages of four years at col-
lege. Wehope you aren’t going to
throw it away on people who
aren’t worth it.”

Company that will build jet com-
mercial planes. The Defense De-
partment, however, wants the
military to have all the jets made
for awhile.
To both the British and to
CAB, American plane makers
have these answers:
1. On the drawing boards now
are 600-mile pure jet transports
which the companies are eager
to sell, to any one ready to under-
write the 30 million dollar cost of
building and testing the first
ones. Such a tested liner could be
in commercial service within
three years, says one producer,
Lockheed Aircraft Corp.
2. New American craft (not
jet) are being built now that can
considerably lower that record of
elapsed time between London and
South Africa, which the British
have just set.

SYNOPSIS
Henti Lemay, a frugal bachelor ot
Charisston, S. C., and his spinster sis-
ti i Hlqise. had managed to send their
orphaned niece. Leonie Hughes, through
a fashtonable school at Baltimore, Md.
She is, about to graduate and return
home to them and to a more abundant
life, perhaps. A long delayed family
legacy may now in this year of 1914.
be released to the Lemays. Henri is
socially ambitious for his niece. He
hopes and prays that she has outgrown
attachtent for Lincoln Calvert, a local
boy grown to handsome manhood, an
agricultural school graduate, ambitious
to become a scientire farmer. The Cal-
verts are Unionists and Henri despises
them. Joseph Newman, a back woods
boy with a golden voice. Is among Leo-
nie's admirers. Eventually, he hopes
to sing with the opera. But secretly
Henri dreads the day when this cher-
ished girl shall be taken from him in
marriage. tor ha himself loves her pos-
sessively. Lincoln Calvert’s popularity
with Charleston's first families grows,
and Henri's rage mounts. But petty
annoyances vanish on the great proud
day of Leonie’s graduation. There on
the campus at Baltimore, Henri meets
the wealthy McDevitt family, whose
daughter, Leonie's close friend, also is
graduating. Back home once more, Leo-
nie finds life in Charleston stuffy, bor-
ing, dull.
NEW WORK, May 19 (P) —
The British boast they will soon
be flying rings around competing
American airlines. But Ameri-
cans, while keeping a weary eye
on the speedy new jet-powered
Comet, say they have a trick or
two up their sleeves, too.
The British-made Comet is fly-
ing between London and South
Africa in 2314 hours, a trip that
takes 34 hours by propeller craft.
The British hope to capture the
lush resort business, New York
to Bermuda, Nassau and Jamaica,
this fall, with these 500-mile-an-
hour jet airliners. By 1954 the
British hope to have later model
and larger jets flying the Atlan-
tic in half the time American
planes now make it.
In Washington, the Civil Aero-
nautics Board is worried by this
jump the British seem to have

on Sunday evening except walk
or visit, Leonie, too tired for either,
sat in her aunt’s room and they
talked.
“You mustn’t mind your Uncle,”
Heloise said, when Leonie re-
marked that the old gentleman was
becoming very preoccupied with
trfles. “He has your good at heart,
you know.”
"Of course," Leonie said. "But
he talks as if there were going to
be unlimited opportunities for me
to use my education. What can a
girl do in Charleston except mar-
ry, or work in an office, or be a
schoolteacher ?”
Heloise nodded. “There isn’t
much. I’ve often thought that if
I’d lived in the North I’d have been
a composer. I’d have been able to
hear more music and—oh, well,
what’s the use,” she said. "The best
way is to take what God sends."
“And as for getting married—”
Leonie shrugged. “The young men
in Charleston. Gosh. And their
prospects. Look at Uncle, still
courting Miss Antoinette. And
there arc dozens like him. I don’t
want to reach sixty and still be
engaged.”
"Yes, it’s too bad,” Heloise said.
“I suppose if I hadn't come along
just at that time he would have
married her, even if he was past
forty?”
"Don’t bother your pretty head
about that, child.”
“And you were very pretty,
Auntie. In fact, you still are. Did
you—”
Heloise made a face. “You want
to hear about my great sorrow, I
expect," she said. "Of course, there
were Mama and Papa to take care
of, but that wasn’t the real trouble.
I thought I was too good for any-
body, I’m afraid. I didn’t have as
much sense as I’ve got now. Of
course a young lady oughtn't to
jump at the first chance she has,
no matter what happens. And I
do hope, Leonie, that you’re not
going to throw your mind and your
education away on somebody who
can’t appreciate them."
"You're inconsistent, Auntie.”
“I don’t want you to be too
proud,” Heloise said, “but I want
you to look before you leap.”
Alone, Leonie sat thinking about
her aunt and uncle. It was to be
expected that they would overrate
the amount of educats 1 she had
received, since neithe. had gone to
college. Leonie herself was under
no real misapprehension about the
amount of learning she had.
It was not a great deal of intel-
lectual furnishing after four years.
Nevertheless, merely being away
had done something to her, and she
knew instinctively that adjustment
was going to be difficult.
Hearing her uncle come up the
stairs, she went out on the piazza
and met him outside his door.
United States airline executives I
have been slow to order Comets i
from the British. Americans re-
gard the Comet as a "show-case
operation." They say the Comets
are too small for economical us-
age on American lines. They note
their practical range of 1,750
miles as handicapping the present
British models for trans-Atlantic
hops. Also, the British govern-
ment is backing its jet builders
and users, and the Americans
have no such assurance of gov-
ernment help if they had a finan-
cial loss with the new planes.
The Comet carries 36 passen-
gers and burns kerosene (a cheap
fuel) twice as fast as the propel-
lor planes burn gasoline. It stops
five times to refuel between Lon-
don and South Africa.
Donald Douglas, president of
Douglas Aircraft, says jet engines
will be economical for commer-
cial service around 1956 and
Douglas will be able to make
them then.
Robert E. Gross, president of
Lockheed, says his company can
too. But meantime it has orders
for 85 super Constellations, the
the first one to be in service this
December. This plane, with a
new Wright compound engine,
can cruise at 340 miles an hour. It
need make only one stop between
London and South Africa and
could make the flight in 29 hours,
beating the Comet.
Also, the super Constellation,
says Gross, can easily be changed
to use either Allison or Pratt &
Whitney turbo-prop power plants.
The Navy will get two in the
summer of 1953, and Lockheed
hopes commercial lines can have
them in 1954. The military have
priority now. ®
These planes with a top speed
up to 435 miles an hour could
make the London-South African
flight with one stop in 17 hours,
Lockheed says.
But meantimes the Comet is
the fastest. Canada is going to
use them over the Pacific, and
the British to Bermuda. It may,
be a bitter race, when they start
over the Pacific.

Leonie began the round of visits
Henri had so insistently reminded
her of by going to pay her respects
to Miss Julie and to her Cousin
Annette O’Donnell and the others.
She took comfort from her smart
Baltimore clothes. She knew that
she looked a great deal more styl-
ish than most Charleston girls of
her age, and she was trying to put
any nascent feeling of inadequacy
out of her mind and was in sight
of the tall, high-pillared house on
Montague street when a young
man raised his hat and said, “Good
morning, Leonie.”
“Why, Lincoln Calvert!” Leonie
exclaimed, and she must have
looked her astonishment, for the
young man laughed.
"Can’t lose a bad penny,” he
said. "Here I am, back in Charles-
ton. And so are you, although no-
body could call you a bad penny.”
Leonie was glad to see him and
she looked at him with consider-
able pleasure.
“I’ve just come back from
school,” Leonie said. “I hadn't any
idea you were in Charleston.”
"Well, I hope you’re pleasantly
surprised. I’m going to stay, too.
Farming. I haven’t seen you for
nearly five years, Leonie. You were
just a little girl then.”
“You weren’t so much of a man
yourself. And you didn’t have that
Northern accent, either.”
“I can still say 'Bott-ry' as well
as anybody else,” Lincoln said.
"See here, Leonie, we aren’t
strangers. Think your uncle would
let me come to see you?”
Leonie flushed. “I suppose he
would,” she said in some embar-
rassment, “but you haven’t asked
me yet.”
“I guess I’ve been forgetting my
pretty manners in the crude North.
Miss Hughes, may I have the privi-
lege of calling some evening? Will
that do?”
"Now you’re overdoing it," Leo-
nie said. "Of course, I’d like to see
you.”
"Then you sure will. I’ve bought
a farm across the bridge. I've just
been to see Mr. Garrison about it.”
"Why, I’m going to their house.
Not to buy a farm, though. I don’t
think I’d like farm life.”
"Maybe you haven’t looked at it
quite the right way,” Lincoln said.
"I mustn’t keep you standing here
in the heat. Good-bye.”
“Good-bye,” Leonie said. “Good-
ness,” she thought, "he is hand-
some. My old sweetheart” She
laughed cheerfully at the thought
and then dismissed him from he:
mind.
