the fact that the half slips We're
picked greener and might be ex-
pected to last longer.
Retail prices for valley melons
were high everywhere. The least l
:. bought any cantaloupes for was two
for quarter. Most of the ordinary
cantaloupes retailed for 80 cents
apiece, while honeydews sold for
from Is cents to $l.75. / paid $l.25
to $3.50 for Persians and the man
who sold me n Golden Beauty for
$l25 thought he was giving it to
me.
Honeydews Too Green
s'T'he honeydews do not arrive
ripe enough Ninety per cent of
them are as green as cucumbers and
it is only by accident that a GUS
toner get ripe one. The fruit
men have a habit of feeling the
ends of the melons and if they are
soft at the ends they are sold for
ripe fruit. I went along with my
nose to the rows of honeydews. The
dealers thought l was near sighted
but soon / caught the familiar, deli
cious aroma of the ripe honeydew.
Sure enough, when cut, the melon
was like ice cream, sweet and dead
ripe, though the ends had not been
soft to indicate it to the shopman s
satisfaction.

shippers too strongly the value of
the full slip melon in building up
our eastern market and keeping the
produce men satisfied with our
fruit. Imperial county men will
make money by shipping only ripe
fruit. -

HOMELESS MEN NOW SCORN
 OLDEN LODGING HOUSES
The One Esteemed Flop House. Suffers Noticeable Loss in Patron
 age, Public Wants Higher Grade.

Chicago. Dec. 19.-The once-teem- ing "fiop-house" has suffered a mo- ticeable loss in patronage, for home less men, even in their periods of un- employment, now demand a hostelry of higher grade, according to the Rev. Dennis J. Dunne, chancellor of the Catholic archdiocese of Chicago.
 These men, says Father Dunne, are choosing in increased numbers the lodging houses where baths and the Immigration of clothing are entrance requirements. The change has come about since the enactment of prohi- bition, according to the chancellor. Homeless men are saving their money now" explains Father Dunne. Tt is surprising how well some of them are living.
 They are eating more and better food. They also are more particular about where they sleep. In many cases they are going to the Mission of the Holy Cross, where there are newspapers on tables to be read. and to other institutionally conducted lodging houses, with an evident de- sire to learn rather than sleep on the floor. Our mission is full, and twice as many men as there is room for would like to lodge there"

Driver of Truck Guilty of Reck-
 leSsneSS, Judge Rules

Harold Slater of 5S6 West Main street, was fined sS5 on a charge of reckless driving. He was arrested following an accident on Tuesday, December II. in which a truck he was driving collided with a one-man car on the Francis street line at the in- tersection Of Hartford avenue and Stanley street.

 Mrs. Emma Thornton and Mrs. A. G. Hawker. who live on Francis street, testified that they were in the car and narrowly avoided being cut by flying glass after the collision had occurred. Sergeant John J. King and Officer Herbert Lyon testified that from where the truck left the road on Stanley street until it struck the troll ley was a distance of 65 feet
 Slater said that in order to avoid stopping his car on the trolley tracks, which would have resulted in a more serious accident, he went to his left but did not get his truck far enough up on the sidewalk before the col lision occurred. He said that he was not travelling fast and could not continue on his right because of the cars which were parked there,
