FRUIT SHIPMENTS SHOW INCREASE The May 1 estimate of the Northern Orange Citrus Exchange will show a gain of 25 cars minus shipments over that of April 1, Manager Dale R. King declared today. That isn't much, but the fact that any gain instead of loss can be announced is unusual. Approximately 5000 cars of valencias will be shipped thru the exchange and its members this season, King estimated. Of these the Anaheim district will ship approximately 2000 cars. During April 55 or 60 cars were shipped. Six hundred and twenty-five cars of lemons will be shipped by exchange members in No. Orange-co, of which Anaheim will ship 15 or 20 cars. Shipments of oranges from So. Calif to date are considerably behind last year's total to the same date, amounting to 18,999 cars against 20,993. The reverse is true of lemons, of which 6149 cars were shipped this year compared with 3370 last. Central Calif. has shipped 6294 cars of oranges to date against 5611 last year and 155 cars of lemons against 222. MYSTERY STORY AT UNITED THEATRE Followers of Anna Katherine Green will welcome the screen version of her most famous novel, "The Leavenworth Case," a Whitman Bennett production, showing at the United theatre tonight and Thursday. According to Mr. Bennett, "The Leavenworth Case" is the first film ever made from a mystery story which succeeds in keeping the suspense until the last moment. This unusual feat was accomplished by Charles Giblyn, who had the difficult task of directing. Seena Owen, Martha Mansfield, Bradley Barker, Wilfred Lytell and Paul Doucet are the prominent players who appear in "The Leavenworth Case." Each was selected for the leading roles because of unusual ability to portray the character assigned. These players are shown at their best in this great mystery picture.

TROUBLESOME TALK Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going steady for two years with a fine young fellow with no bad habits such as some other young men of today have. Christmas I was given a diamond and we expect to be married as soon as financial conditions will permit. My girl friend used to care for him, but they never went out together. Lately she has been knocking him, saying she would have nothing to do with him if she were in my place. I think this is due to the fact that one night this girl and I were out and she was coaxing me to go with another fellow for the evening, but I did not. He happened along then and she told him we were going out with another fellow. He told me that was not treating him right and since then she has not cared for him. Do you think I ought to give up my girl friend? My fiance knows that she talks about him and so he has asked me to quit her, but I hate to. BRUNETTE. It ought not to be necessary for you to give up your girl friend. Of course you have made your mistake by telling your finance thing that she says. If you are more taftful in the future and do not repeat your girl friend's remarks, I doubt if your fiance will insist on breaking up the friendship. Tell your girl friend you don't care to talk about that matter. DESPERATELY IN LOVE Dear Mrs. Thompson: It has always ben my ambition to be a school teacher. Now I have enough college credits to be holding a good position. But about four months ago I met a young farmer and have fallen desperately in love. As yet he has not proposed, but I rather think he will. Should I accept when he proposes? I might never get another chance. I have never lived on a farm and know very little about farm life, but I am willing to do my best. Or should I go on and make use of my education? Can you suggest any course I can take to prepare myself to be a farmer's wife? C.F.U. If you had really fallen desperately in love you would not consider the case from so many angles, but would be only too glad to marry the farmer and give up teaching.

If you had really fallen desperately in love you would not consider the case from so many angles, but would be only too glad to marry the farmer and give up teaching. I cannot decide for you whether you will get more happiness out of marrying this particular man, or from a career. That is a decision you will have to make for yourself. At the library you can get books on the subject of farming. Talk to the librarian and she will help you in your selection. A good education ought to help you to be an intelligent farmer's wife. Usually the farmer's wife finds her work much the same as the work of an industrious city wife. The great difference lies in the fact that it is more difficult for the farmer's wife to get away and enjoy herself. After the day's work the farmer wants to go to bed early and the prospect of an evening in town does not appear to him even if it does to his wife. Also there is apt to be a greater number of tasks for the farmer's wife than for the city wife. A READER—It is the gentleman's place to give the order. Often, however, he consults the lady to learn her preferences. The gentleman usually has the lady sit where she gets the best view or the restaurant. Help should always be treated kindly, but not with familiarity. It is not the woman's place to have anything to do with the waiter, because her escort looks after all her needs and makes them known to the waiter. JOKE BRINGS COOLNESS Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 17 years old and attending high school. One of my girl friends told me I wasn't frivolous By WINNER RADICALS REFUSE G. O. P. PROPOSAL By WM. K. HUTCHINSON (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 7. — The olive branch of compromise; prepared by Republican leaders to save the administration tax reduction bill from Democratic authorship, was ignored today by the insurgent progressive blog of the senate. Turning a deaf ear to entreaties of compromise, the insurgents planned to force a test vote upon their own provision for restoration of the excess profits tax, which Secretary of the Treasury Mellon condemned and against which the administration leadership is opposed. The insurgents faced defeat, however, because the proposal is just as obnoxious to some Democrats as it is to the administration ranks. Republican leaders were concentrating their efforts today upon enacting a final compromise surtax rate of 37 1-2 per cent into the new revenue bill as a substitute for the 40 per cent maximum already endorsed by the Democratic-insurgent coalition. Administration leaders hoped to wean enough insurgents from the following of Senator Brookhart, Republican of Iowa, to enact their compromise rate. Indications were the fight would be exceptionally close. The Mellon plan was definitely abandoned, even its original sponsors in the senate yielding up the ghost. Instead, a proposal of 32 per cent surtax will be tried by the administration ranks before a "last ditch" fight is staged at the 37 1-2 per cent line, which was the rate adopted by the house in passing the Longworth compromise bill. Hope of administration leaders to enact the 37 1-2 compromise rate was dimmed somewhat by Brookhart, who declared he planned to defend the Democratic 40 per cent surtax maximum. "The Progressives won't weaken on the 40 per cent surtax." Brookhart said. "We wanted 44 per cent originally and we may yet force a vote on the higher maximum. The Republican compromise offer will not get very far." Senator Ladd, Republican of North Dakota, another insurgent.

She herself was crazy about a certain fellow. Just for fun I thought I would try being frivolous and see if I could go with him. We talked together a little and wrote a few notes in class and he asked if he could walk home from school with me. It was just what I wanted and so I let him. My girl friend was very jealous and said that as long as he was taking me home perhaps she had better give me his club pin. She also told him she thought he was paying too much attention to me. Since then she has been very cool to me. I told her I was only trivialous in fun and had no desire to go with that particular boy, but she won't forgive me. Since then I have done nothing to make him go with me and he is still going with her. Do you think she had any real reason to be angry at me, or jealous..? NOBODY'S DARLING. Your girl friend does not seem to be able to take a joke. Since you had no intention of hurting her or cutting her out of her sweetheart, it seems to me she ought to laugh and forget the whole matter. Try and forget it yourself and I think before long she will be just as good a friend as she was formerly. LOVE VS. FRIENDSHIP Dear Mrs. Thompson: A great many of my friends belong to a history club which has interested me for a long time. A month ago they voted in new members because their membership had dropped from people leaving town and being too busy at other things to keep up club activities. A certain young man has been going with one of the girls who is in the club and he has also gone with me. I have never been able to find out whether he liked her or me better and I think she has been in doubt too. When the new members were voted on she voted against me because she was jealous and I am sure for no other reason. I learned of this from a friend who counted votes. This hurt me very much because I wanted to get into the club. What would you do if you were passing the Longworth compromise bill. Hope of administration leaders to enact the 37 1-2 compromise rate was dimmed somewhat by Brookhart, who declared he planned to defend the Democratic 40 per cent surtax maximum. "The Progressives won't weaken on the 40 per cent surtax." Brookhart said. "We wanted 44 per cent originally and we may yet force a vote on the higher maximum. The Republican compromise offer will not get very far." Senator Ladd, Republican of North Dakota, another insurgent, confirmed Brookhart's statement. Both senators declared they would "make their fight" on the proposal to again introduce tax excess profits. Administration leaders, nevertheless, were hopeful. "We believe we can get the 37 1-2 per cent rate adopted," said Senator Smooth of Utah, Republican finance leader. "We have been informed that a number of Republican senators who opposed the Mellon plan will support this rate, which was adopted by the house, in preference to the Democratic plan." Smoot also predicted defeat of the Brookhart proposal for restoration of excess profit taxes. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium.

Doubtless the club has rules for taking in members, and so there is nothing for you to do if according to the rules of the club you were turned down. The members of the club who are your friends are the only ones in a position to get you in. They might be able to influence the girl who voted against you to change her mind. It does seem a shame that she should let a personal matter govern her at such a time.

Avoid Imitations — Substitutes PRESENTATIVE SHERWOOD OF OHIO ONLY GREAT GRANDFATHER IN CONGRESS ARMY AVIATORS DELAY HOP-OFF CORDOVA, Alaska, May 7—Adverse weather reports from trans-Pacific steamers along the "great circle" have resulted in decision to delay the hop-off of the three American round-the-world filers at Atka for Attu, their final stop on this side of the Pacific. Meanwhile an unceasing search continues for Major Frederick L. Martin, commander of the flight, who disappeared with his mechanic, Sergeant Alva Harvey, a week ago. Search has been completed on the Bering Sea side of the Aleutian Peninsula from False Pass to Port Hilden without result. Reports from trappers in many isolated districts north of Chignik continue to be received indicating that Major Marlin when he left Chignik last Wednesday, flew toward Bering Sea. These reports serve to revive hope that the sea search now being made to the north and east of Chignik will eventually bear fruit. Hope is expressed that Major Martin and his side may have found shelter with some trapper or with native Indians in an isolated spot. Land searching parties are being continued at no little hope is held that they will prove successful in the hunt. The filers at Atka under command of Lleout. Lowell H. Smith are anxious to get away and with the first favorable flying weather will jump to Chicago. Weather reports are being received from all steamers in the lane of the flight by naval radio station at St. Paul and transmitted to the coast guard cutter Haida which is now in the planes of Atka Island.
