 CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Chicago is preparing to fight crime with science.
 It expects to rid the city of known gangsters, hoodlums and 'racketeers" by the simple method of giving them intelligence tests, and by sending them to institu- tions if they fail.
 The plan was inaugurated by Detective Chief William P. O'Con- nor, but the gangsters on whom 1t was tried put up such legal battle that the police and Chi cago's municipal psychologists decided to proceed cautiously un- til a comprehensive campaign could be mapped cut.
 That will be dcne soon by Chief O'Connor, Dr. William j.. dickson, head of the municipal psyehopathic Ia bora a tory. and Judge Harry Olson. presiding of ficer of the Municipal Court.
 O'Connor and his men corralled group of the city's most notor- ious and wealthy gangsters in a luxurious hotel suite, and whisk- ed them to the Cook County Hos pital, because Dr. dickson was in Europe. for intelligence tests. The gangsters. sullenly uncom- municative, were kept in the bleak jail for several days while their attorneys scurried around to liberate them. Eventually they were turned loose.
 The burden of proof in the .ef- fort to rid Chicago of its element of firmly entrenched gangsters will fall upon the city's psycho- pathic laboratory, founded IA years ago as an, experiment.
 Mrs. Hickson, motherly wo- man, is her husbands chief as- sistant. They have operated the bureau since it's inception and both have an impressive back ground of training in this coun- try and abroad. They spent four months last summer at psycho- pathic clinics in Europe.
 The bureaus principal work has been giving intelligence tests to any arrested persons about whose rationalism there is doubt.
 It is the contention of Dr. Hickson that crime is caused by physical defect of the brain and the results of examinations here have been given wide cir culation in the United States and in Europe.
 The Hiclsons use various standard intelligence tests. Often they employ the Benet tests. The subject usually is given a model of figure, perhaps a beculiarly shaped TX" or the like. and is asked to make a copy of it.
 Ninety per cent of the gang sters, wife beaters and murderers who clog the courts are repeat CTS and are such becanso they

He said the explosion in the American Girls engine followed pumping of the plane against the side of the tanker Barendrecht after the wings had been broken off by the high seas. Flame from the plane shot up so high in the air that had the tanker carried ben zine or gasoline, she woould have been blown up also.
 Miss Elder and. Haldeman are in fine shape, except for fatigue.
 The first thing Miss Elders did was to produce her lipstick and her first words were: "Thank you very much"
 Passports, parachutes and lug gage were lost in the ocean when the plane was destroyed.

VEGETABLES AT
! Their BEST NOW
New Jersey Product Excells
Others Because of Its
- Freshness

New Jersey vegetables are nov
at their best, according to the State
Department of Agriculture. Within
the last few days home grown corn
lima beans, tomatoes, egg plants
cucumbers and peppers have ap
peared in markets and stores.
- The advantage of New Jersey
Nvegeta bles over those from other
sections, points out the Department,
is the short time that elapses be-
tween their leaving the field and
arrival on the consumers table.
This States location in the heart
of a great consuming public, to-
gether with it's excellent transpor-
tation facilities, give it a dominat-
ing position among States supply
ing the summer markets with pro-
aiace.n 8
- The earliest sweet corn of New
Jersey is the Burlington White.
This variety has short season and
is followed by the Rusk, which is
larger and of better quality. Col
den Bantam is here in considerable
quantity. The ears are slightly
smaller than other varieties and the
color of the kernels is light yellow.
This variety will be followed by
Evergreen, Long Island Beauty,
Country Gentleman and Shoe Peg.
Lima beans this year are of good
quality, though the supply is short
at this time. From now on, both
lima beans and corn will be in
abundance so that succotash will
occupy it's usual popular place on
the table.
Fhe premier early tomato is the
Marglobe, which is easily the finest
early tomato on the market. 1t is
thicker from stem to blossom end
than other varieties and has uni
form red color when mature. 9th
er features are its large amount of
pulp and SCARCITY of seeds. The
Earliana and the Bonuy Best, both
early tomatoes, are also on the
market at this time.
Cucumbers are being shipped to
market in increasing quantities. |
The best cucumbers for slicing are
those from five to seven inches
long. and from two and half ,yttf51 |
firee inches in diameter. For Sour |
and dill pickles, cucumbeps two to

farmers are shipping thousands

soil is good, your season is long,
you can grow almost anything and
its quality and size and yield is

Just three things are causing
the so-called poor marketing con

There is never a glut in the

but a glance along many county
roads at the inferior varieties of
fruit grown by many farmers is
sufficient answer to the question
why they find farming Improbable,
