Marketing Bureau Expects Half Million Baskets c nm i Il g Apparatus Should Be Ready August 25.

Half a, million baskets of peaches are expected to be this seasons com mercial crop in Connecticut, according to a statement issued yesterday by the marketing bureau of the state board of agriculture, based on reports from the fruit growers The state ment sayS:-
 "Growers in the neighborhood of Hartford expect to harvest 10000 to 75,000 baskets of the late canning peaches, while the crop which will contribute to the New Haven market is estimated at fully 10000 baskets if it reaches the level of other peach years. Replies from several small orchardists indicate heavy crops which will be marketed locally or to a. direct trade along roadsides.
 tsT,he peaches on the market at present are mostly the Waddeu and Carmen varieties. Orchardists say that they expect to market Elberta's about the 18th of the month for Hart ford market while the Belle of Georgia peaches are reported as pro gressing slowly and will not be ready before August IS. Growers along the peaches from three days to week earlier than from Hartford county orchards.
 ssThe canning peach crop is not of the better peaches are coming mar ketward from the orchards that es- caped the spring frosts and peach Shortcake on the hotel and restaurant menus signify a limited time when the housewife will be called to per form home canning duties.
 +The weather has seemingly fa- vored Connecticut people in that some of our largest orchards escaped the killing frostS. Last year the peach crop was exceedingly light in the state but heavy New York state crop found a ready market This year recent reports from New York state say that hail and storm damage has reduced the crop. The local crop which ordinarily would find a flooded market when nearby states have an abundance of fruit will be demanded in places nearby where the crop was a failure.
 Investigation of recent ripening progress by the marketing bureau agents of the state board of agr.cul- ture during the last few days reveals the fact that consumers should get the peach canning apparatus ready about August 25. A period of hot and dry weather will hasten the crop towards maturity, while wet weather will retard ripening and probably promote decay. The local market agent advises consumers to keep in formed on the arrival of peaches from now on and thereby avoid being d is- appointed by a short season of har-. vest

By International News Service
 Indianapolis, Aug 1s Unified re- miners wages by all the union min CTS of the country loomed today as the outstanding feature of the bien- nia1 convention of the unlted Mlne Workers of America which will open in Indianapolis Tuesday, September 20. For the first time delegates from the anthracite and bftum1nous coal fields will be prepared to join hands the next wage contract between the miners and operators and present united front in combating wage SlaSheS-
 For the first time in many years the wage agreements in the bitumln- ous fields and in the anthracite nelds will expire on the same day, March 31, 1922. Heretofore, the bltum1nous us wage agreement expired on one date and the anthracite agreement on an other date, and the miners in one branch of the industry weer not in position, therefore, to give the saIile [ degree of support to the other Tn the negotiation of their agreements as they win foe next spring.
 John I. Lewis. International Pres ident. has made the statement on several occasions that the United Milne Workers of America will not permit mine workers and this fact, lends greater significance to the com1ns convention at which the details ot | the wage policy of the miners union will be worked out and ratified.
 Convention to be Smaller.
 | It has been the custom of the an thracite miners in the past to frame their wage demands and have them adopted by a tri-district convention comprising the three anthracite dis tricts, after which they were reported to the national convention of the union for approval This year, how | ever, this procedure has been re- versed. Anthracite delegates to tht national convention will prepare their demands for approval by the l national convention and the tri-diS
 trict convention for ratification vii l be held afterward. Thus, any gen.
 eral policy with reference to wages
 that may be adopted by the nationa
 convention will govern the miners 1T
 their negotiations in the anthracite
 region as well as in the bituminous
 fields of the country. Ellis Searles
 editor of the United Mine Workers
 Journal, said, today, that all other | questions to come before the nationa convention win be subordinate to the one great proposition of preparing
 for the negotiation of wage. scale

New York, Aug. 12-Sara Cowen, 33. daughter of the late John K. timore & Ohio Railroad, died in New York a few days ago. An overdose of drugs, of which she was an addict, is believed to have been the inn mediate cause of her death. Alcohol ism was also a contributing cause.
 Another young woman of gooo family, whose life was once full of promise, came to the end of gay life but a short one"
 The announcement of Sara Cowens s death will recall to many the some what similar case of Bettina Gerard and Florence Schenck, who both fell from rather high estate, became vic. tims of fast living, with drink a great factor in their certain moral and physical decay.
 Bettina Shocked Even Broadway
 At thirty-six Bettfna Gerard died, leaving behind a reputation that shocked even b1ase Broadway. AS Betty Ordway, of Washington, daugh- ter of General Alber Ordway, this girl who possessed great beauty ana charm found that the life of a so- ciety belle did not afford the excite ment she craved, so she decided for a stage career
 The beautiful Bettina never needed a press agent. Her own expIoHs; carried out in a perfectly natural and off-hand manner, required no touch of any writer's imagination. But she became a slave of drink and was often arrested on charges of intoxjca- ton and disorderly conduct, till fina~ ly she died a pftiable wreck
 During the years of her mad ca reer her father, it is said, died of a broken heart. Her husband, her first, since she had seven altogether, was a millionaire. Her wedding to him was a great event, but only three months after the brilliant ceremony the bridegroom asked divorce.
 She might have succeeded upon the stage with all her natural charms were it not for her enemy and bao habit, drink.
 Florence Schenck's Wild Career. Florence Schenck was another who, after sad experience, warned girls against drink. The daughter of Dr. Powhatan Schenck, of Norfolk, Va, l she ran away from home with a horse trainer, employe of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt had a varied ca reer, finally coming home to die af- ter her father had removed her from | a sanitarium. Like many who have followed similar modes of life, she sought solace and pleasure in drink but ended by warning others against | it. To a woman who once went to in- terview her, she said:
 | .sTen girls that in the wine cup lies death and destruction. Once in the

tolls, no escape. It is the first step, and it is fathomless and pitf7ess.
 ''The girl who drinks is lost; she knows not whal she does She is not responsible.
 'fOh, those girls who run away from home and take up with strange idols, no human tongue can tell what they suffer.
 'aTen them," she begged, '.that when they become physically wrecked and can add nothing more to the amusements of the tempter they will be deserted and humihated."
 This may be a late day to repeat the warnings against drink, yet now we hear a great deal about another pernicious habit, that of drug taking. In another period Sara Cowen, who died a few days ago. might have had the drink habit In this day she gave herself up to the influence of narcotic drugs. Clara Wards TempestUous Life
 Still another fascinating young American woman, Clara Ward, left her titled husband, Prince de Chimay, when the strains of the gypsy violin ist Rigo's music called her. She was the daughter of Fiber B- Ward of Detroit, at one time the richest man in Michigan. He was himself eccentric but his daughter surpassed his oddities. She gave up her edu- cation in Europe at seventeen when she was heiress to $4,00O,000, and married Prince de Chimay- Many affairs of the heart were credited to her.
 One night in a Paris cafe, she heard Rigo's alluring notes. Not long af- ter the two, dressed as gypsfes, eloped and finally married after the Prince obtained a divorce. It was said Rigo stole her from the embraces of kings. But gypsy love- proved very ex- pensive for Clara Ward.
 The American Princes bought Rigo | d palace on the Nile, a private menagerie, a prince's wine cellar, i Arabian horses and sther substantial expressions of love.
 Later she left Rigo for a porter she | met on a train in Italy, and from | then on Rigo felt free to seek other | admirers.
 Not long ago, in al East Side res taurant, where he ftdled for sight | seers Rigo was informed of the ex- travagant Clara WarPs death He expressed his regret, hut was not pro- i foundly sorrowfuI for the woman who took him up in such luxurrous fashion only to leave him later
 To all these young women death seems to come as welcome release release from the disi1usionment and accumulated worries tat have crowd ed into their short lives.

TURKS PLAN TO EXTERM|NATE
 ALL GREEKS

Boston, Aug. 12 Charging that ''the Turks evidently have a delib- crate plan of exterminating the entire Greek population on the shores of the Black Sea- the Pan-Epirotic Union of America with headquarters here has just made public a. cable message from Dr. Thoidis, president of the League of Greeks of PontuS, in which the most sacred rights of man, a last appeal to the humanitarian senti- mentS of the United States"
 The message, dated Constantinop1e, July "A, reads as follows:
 ''The inhuman acts, assassinations, thefts, violations, arbitrary confisca- uonS of property, all sorts of male factions unheard of before, are in the daily program since the ArIniStice in the 1ittoral of the Pontus and in the Interior of Asia Minor.
 Recent news just received from the Pontus described with the black est colors the desperate condition of the Greek population. The male Greek population from 13 to 60 years of age of all the cities of the Pom tus, IneboH, Samsoun, Kerassund. Ordou, TripoH, as far as Trebizond has been deported to the interior.
 tfThe largest part of this population has been massacred on the way by the Turks and those who could survive have arrived by way of Sivas as far as A1bostan in Kurdistan- The fate of the Christian villages of the interior is ignored. The village of Ada and it's surrounding country, containing a Creek population of nearly $500 persons, has been burned down and their inhabitants mastered by the Turks who turned these villages into ashes after having plundered them. Other 70 villages around Samsoun were pillaged and burned down some time ago.
 Yesterday the commander of the American torpedo boat 232, V. S. Houston, brought the news that on the 18th of July the Turks compelled the women, the girls and the children, who were abandoned by their rela- tives now in exile, to vacate their houses and also to be ready to start for an exile. Fifteen thousand of these unfortunate beings from Sam soun, 5000 from Kerassund and l A. 900 from Ordou, Ouniah, Fatsa, etc, are in danger of being annihilated if they are not already.
 'tIn the name of justice and of the most sacred rights of man, we make a last appeal to the humanitarian sentiments of the people of the Unit ed States and we ask the govern ment of the United States to take inn mediate1y such measures which shaI be judged convenient to put an end to this condition of things which con- stitutes a shame in the full light of the 20th century,.

May Increase
 Exemption For
 Heads of Families

] Washington, Aug. 12-An increase in the income tax exemption from S2,OOO to $2,500 for the heads of families was consfd cred today by the House Ways and Means committee.
 This additional relief from tax burdens was urged by Representative Bacharach, New Jersey, and Green, of Iowa, in addition to the increase from $2,000 to $2,400 exemption for each minor child and dependeent-
 The latter has been approved by thee ommittee-
 It was urged that the increased exemptions were necessary to meet increased living costs of the ordinary family and could be made without forcing a certain treasury deficit. They would meet the Democratic op- position to tax revision, which is claiming that most of the tax reduc- tions made. have been for the benefit of the rich.
