Fully 10 per cent of the cantaloupeS

the consumer SO green that they are
practically worthless for food. If only

While it is necessary that they be
picked before they are entirely ripe,
in order to provide the essential keep

picked at stage of maturity that will
afford good flavor as well as keeping
quality when they reach consumers,
cantaloupes should be picked just af-

loaded they will carry in satisfactory

When Ira Carter, thirty-three years
old, Of 101 West Ninety-ffth Street,
accosted Alice Fey, of PIP East Forty
sixth Street, last night on Lexington
Avenue, he had no idea that the young
woman was on her way to meet Patrol
man Byrne, q friend. Neither did he
know that Patrolman Michael Byrne
was the champion boxer at the Eliza
beth Street station. So he persisted In
his alleged attentions.
Though she passed a traffic patrol
man at each corner for three blocks,
the girl made no attempt to seek aid.
AT Forty-ffth Street and Lexington
Avenue she found Byrne, dressed in
civilian clothes, waiting for her. Miss
Fey made her complaint to Byrne, who
had hardly begun to reprimand Car
ter when the latter Is alleged to have
struck the patrolman.
AS to what occurred after that Car
ter is still in doubt. Ten minutes
later, with split lip and a bleeding
nose, Patrolman Byrne dragged Carter
through crowd of more than 100 per
sons who had gathered to watch the
fight to the East Fifty-frst Street sta
ton, where he was locked up on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
