And Devotes His Attention
Toward Problem of Rid
ding the Nation of the
Danger Incident to Ex-
cessive Costs - Admins
tration is Said to Frown
on Strikes Now

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-Attorney
General Palmer expects to be ready to
present preliminary report to Presi-
dent Wilson tomorrow concerning pos
sible steps to be taken by government
agencies in the effort to reduce living
costs.
Julius H. Barnes, president of the
United States Grain corporation, has
been called to the White House for late
to-day and it is UNDERSTOOD the president
will take up with him a proposal to re-
store wheat to a free market, with the
government making good the difference
between the market prce and the 1926
guarantee to the farmers.
Conferences with Republican and Dem
ocratic senators on the league Of nations
have definitely been abandoned by the
president until the problems of the high
cost Of living are solved, Secretary Tu-
multy announced The president, Mr.. Tu-
multy said, is going to give his whole
time to the question Of the high cost of
living.
Administration officials feel that one
way TO decrease the cost of living is to
increase production and President Will
son is understood to feel that strikes
now or threats Of strikes will interfere
materially with any solution Of the
problem sought by government agencies.
Whether the president will go before
Congress to recommend steps designed
to relieve the situation in which the
country now finds itself, will depend, Mr.,
Tumulty said, on the nature of the re-
port to be made by Mr.. Hines.
Members of the presidents cabinet
went into conference early to-day with
Mr.. Palmer to receive the report of the
special commission appointed last week
TO tabulate the various suggestions thus
far advanced. The conference was ex-
pected to continue until just before the
regular Tuesday cabinet meeting at the
White House.
Mr.. Palmer's report was to be sub
mitted at the cabinet meeting and the
president then planned to discuss free
market for wheat with Mr.. Barnes.

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

WITH June peas and fresh straw
w berries at their BEST the early
summer caterer will find that
they are valuable aids in planning her
daily menus. Strawberries this year
cannot be classed among the economical
purchases, with choice berries selling at
from 20 to 25 cents a quart, and if they
are to be served generously, other bills
must be curtailed to keep the weekly
budget within bounds. This, however,
need be no deprivation, for it is now the
time to serve seasonable fruits and
vegetables, and, supplemented by dairy
products and fish, the menus need in
no way suffer if the meat bill especially
is reduced.
As soon as peas are received from mar
ket, place the pods at once in cold water
and let them remain there until ready to
shell; this greatly improves their flavor,
especially if they have been picked for
some time. Always cook peas in slowly
boiling, salted water and do not cover the
saucepan; spoonful of sugar may be
added or a sprig or two Of mint if the
flavor is liked, but it is painting the lily
to sweeten really fresh new peas.
For the sake of variety mix the cooked
peas with diced cooked carrots or minced
young onions that have been lightly
sauted, in little hot shortening. South
ern cooks often boil some of the washed
pods in the water in which the peas are
to be cooked, claiming that it enhances
the flavor of the vegetable. In this event,
put the pods on in the cold water, bring
to the boil, cook for five minutes, remove
the pods and add the peas. Pea pods also
