portant suggestions, but there are
 many more.
 Stricter Law Enforcement.
 Greater parental control would help
 very much, particularly since there is
 an increase in the number of young men defying the law. There can be no doubt that parents, many of them foreign born, are re- sponsible to a great extent for the law1essness which exists in this coun- try today. Children are permitted to run the streets, to associate with oth- CT children who may lead otherwise well intentioned children into offenses against the law. The consequence is that they become incipient criminals and when they grow up into young manhood are ready to adopt the ways of older criminals.
 Many of these recommendations will be submitted in a memorial that, it is expected, will be adopted by the American Bar Association at it's an nual convention in San Francisco in August
 One difficulty of the committee, of which am a, member and which was appointed by the American Bar As sociation to recommend means to re- duce crime, is that the Federal Gov ernment has no records classifying the amount and various kinds of crime in the country

Native Berries
 Now Abundant

Native strawberries head the list Of products which are abundant from nearby farms. The opinion was cur rent among growers and dealers to- day that the height Of the season on native strawb erries will be passed not later than by the middle of next week. f.this prediction by the grow CTS, who are the ones best able to judge by the looks of tne1r strawberry beds. is correct it means that house. wives who are planning on prolong- ing the season by canning some of making jam, have little time left to get their best berries at reasonable prices.
 The beet season is also in full swing, there being thousands of punches of them brought in every day from surrounding towns. The early suuser varieties of beets are the tenderest and sweetest beets of the year, especially when they are brought fresh from nearby farms with their tops on. The small sizes are very popular served pickled, and are also much sought after by many for put ting up for next winter. Canned summer beets are so much tender and more readily served than the winter varieties which are stored in cellars that the canned beets have become very popular in many homes
 The spring lettuce season is about to pass from the abundant and cheap column to the scarce and high list. The hot dry midsummer weather is not good lettuce growing weather, therefore, this year-round popular green vegetable is plentiful and low in price in the spring and fall only as rule. Incidentally, lettuce is now being classed by nutrition specialists as being one of our best sources of vitamine 'C." It's liberal use is recommended by many as being even more valuable to our health than to- matoes, cabbage, spinach, or yeast cakes. Eat lots of lettuce daily and avoid boils. skin eruptions and their kindred ailments.
 Small sized broiling chickens, which are looked upon so often as a delicate luxury, are beginning to become abundant. Because of the increase in poultry raising in Connecticut it is probable that during the next two or three months these small tender birds will be a, glut on the market The poultrymen have to dispose of a cer- tain percentage of them regardless of how low prices go. The young cockerels are useless to them as they save only the bullets for egg produc- ton, they have got to sell their youns, bro1lers as soon as they get to marketable size or the extra feed cost will become prohibitive.

Russian Oil Deal Is Hoax, Declares

London, June 16-"The world nas been hoaxed over the supposed Rus sian oil deal" says Leslie Urquhart, oil adviser to Lloyd George at Genoa, former British Consul-Genera1 at Moscow and chairman of the British OH Fields Consolidated Company.

 'HThe biggest oilffeld in Russia is in Baku. From 1904 to 1918 the Baku wells produced oil at the rate of about 7.o0o,oo0 tons year,
 NO more dramatic change has ever been witnessed than the change which occurred in the Baku oilheld with the coming of the Soviet re- 100000 tons a year to 5000. 900 tons. and it has remained at S.ooO.- 900 ever since,

 These facts prove that Russia IS not in a position to export oil. Be fore she can attain to her former output she will have to drill for five years to make up the ieeway that has been lost. The drilling alone will cost f1oo, 1000. .00o.

(Written for the International News
 Seryice.)
 Washington, June 16 - The United Statss is being swept by the greatest and most threatening crime wave in it's history. Unless drastic measures are adopted to cnecK 1t, society here is confronted by @ state of affairs that will lead, not perhaps to state of anarchy, but the development of a school for anarchists and those who deem it a virtue to oppose law at every OppOrtunIyt-
 What, then, are the most efficient rem edies?
 I believe the adoption of the fol- lowing measures will tend to lessen crime and inspire a higher regard for the law.
 1.-Sterilize the criminals-second and worse offenders. The necessary operation, I am informed, is painless and may be accomplished by use of the N-ray. Senumenta1sus may oo- feet to this method, but it is produc- ing good results in several states. It should be applied only to criminals who are beyond hope of permanent reform.
 2.-Severer penalties by our courts. IT. order to have a deterrent effect the punishment must be vigorous. Coddlins of prisoners should be stop ped.
 3-Let the government manufac- ture and sell firearms. The regula- tion of the sale of firearms is very important. Pistols, especially, should be manufactured by the United States at arsenals and their private manufacture and sale prohibited, as is the sale of narcotics. With factfl- ties for procuring firearms as easy as they are today it is useless to hope tor a reduction in the amount Of crime. Reputable citizens ought to be enable to obtain permits to have pis- tols in their homes for self defense
 Firearms Through Mail.
 Under present conditions anyone may obtain firearms through the mails by sending the necessary sum to mail order houses. It is useless to hone for a reduction in the amount of crime, which includes the shoot ing of people by criminals, as long as this facility to obtain firearms ex- ists.
 These are probably the most tnn-

though it has been in the Presi-

The fact that his message was
not answered and that there was
much under-current talk OF delay
about bonus legislation, MacNider
concluded warranted his coming to
washington to do all that he could
to avert another bonus failure in
Congress. Today he will see the
President. He sought an interview
yesterday but the Presidents en-
gagements would not permit it,
For a time it was reported the

for today was arranged.

to impress upon the President the

President is at heart desirous of
doing what is right by the former

ton by him. can do no more than
that. The bonus needs no further
explanation. 1t speaks for itself" "
Comdr. MacNider's arrival served
to stir up the general interest in
the somewhat tagging bonus act!v-
tiles at the Capitol. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that Republican

action today on the method of
financing the bonus. This will
