MILK PUNCH PUMPKINS.
Disbecker Hopes to Raise Them in
 Westchester County.

Harry Perry Disbecker, who recent ly bought a farm in Bedford Hiux, Westchester county, next to Ssth Lows big estate. has decided to pro- duce singular vegetables and fruit He has engaged a gardener, who, he says, will work wonders.
 Every one has heard of mflk-fe1 pumpkin" said Disbecker yesterday. "One knows the delicate taste of this fruit and how it is ten times better than an ordinary pumpkin. All yo1 have to do is to insert a Lube into the pumpkin and it will sap up the milk from saucer. That's all very we'll. Many farmers have been suc- cessful with milk-fed pumpkins, as chicken raisers have been with milk fed chickens, but I am gofnf to 20 them one better and perhaps in 4 month or so l will have dinner with fruit grown on my own farm. My principal idea is to have milk punch-fed pumpkin. It ought fo work the same way and the tasse ought to be- even more delicious I am going tor have the punch made carefully, placed in saucer and see if the pumpkin, takes to it as we'll as it does milk. Of course, the taste. will be infinitely superior

The Riddles arc children of MT. and Mrs. Anthony Drexel Riddle.
 ( The girl and her brother, both good swimmers, left Anthony's cottage on Suffolk avenue about o'clock for a plunge.

 A hundred yards from the breaker line she realized they were being car ried out to sea despite her struggles Lawless, who had left them at the waters edge, shouted to bathers near by and started for the couple. The cry for help was relayed to the life guards station, square away. Law less got out to the couple but found the undertow too strong when he tried to help them back to land. However, he husbanded his strength and kept them afloat.
 The throng on shore, most of them prominent society folk summering in the Ventor section of Atlantic City, sfouted encouragement to Brady and Ccnover, 1ifeguards who, bearing can buoys, plunged into the surf and swam toward the trio. The lifelines attach ed to the buoys were not long enough. Conover stopped when he felt a yank from the shore end. He signal1ed to the men holding that end and they let formed relay that doubled their connection with shore. Fathers gave the lifeline still more length by forming human, chain far out into the breakers.
 Brady reached the drowning chill dren and, assisted by Lawless, held them on the buoy while men on shore pulled them in. MT and Mrs. Riddle reached the beach just as the half conscious bathers were carried ashore. The rescued ones Recovered after med ical treatment.

 There was a sixth fire within the last two days aboard the Arabic, to- day, which was quickly put out with out serious damage. The owners in- sist that the fires have been started by strikers. Despite today's cancel lation of sailings, the ship owners say that most of their ships will be able to sail on time, either on account ot their yielding or by the use of non- union crews.
 The cargo boat tie-up is now the most serious phase of the strike. An appeal was made, today, to the strike leaders to unload some of the provi- sion boats in order to prevent actual suffering for food.
 They replied that "food shortage kind of warfare"
 Instead of yielding along this line the strikers are trying to tie up every provision boat in English waters. Car goes are rotting in the holds of ves- sells.
 The harbor at Hull is almost chok- ed with cargo boats, not one of which has been permitted to unload since the first of the week.
 Tugmen joined the strike, today. This interfered with the handling of the big steamships.
 Eighteen ships are being held up at Hartelpol and with little respect of any of them sailing soon.

WOMAN IN JAIL FOR
 ISLANDER GETS BOND

Olga Wolcijkowski, the woman who was taken to jail yesterday because she could not furnish a bond, was re- leased last night. Some of her fMends managed to secure real estate bond which was satisfactory to counsel for Josie Komarowski who brought a islander suit against Olga for s1O0 dam- ages.
 Attorney Israel Cohn, who repre- sents the plaintiff, feels that the re- ports of the jailing of Mrs. Wolcij- koWski and her two children did him an injustice. He says the woman was not jailed for debt but because she could not furnish the bond in the islander suit. He also denies that Sheriff Vollmer in his presence offered to put up a cash bond. 1T would have accepted it if he had,'' declares At torney COhn.
