NEA Service Writer

watermelon is one of the most
dificult fruits to select. The entire
melon family is puzzling, for there
are many branches and all have
their particular characteristics.
Regardless of variety, all melons
must have plenty of heat before
hey can reach maturity, so the
weather conditions throughout the
country have much to do with the
quality of the fruit.
Melons must mature on the vines
and they must be ripe when wanted
for use. They may ripen after pick
ing without greatly harming the
flavor. but full growth must be al
lowed before harvesting.
II one has a trained ear, the time
honored practice of humping
watermelons with knuckles is a re-
liable test. A full-grown, ripe melon

Book Price
War Really
Fine Service
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
When publishers fall out, readers
may smile. The literary world has
been upset by the announcement
that certain publishing houses will
make drastic cut in the price OF
all volumes. Books that have been
selling at 81 and $3.50 will now be
issued for. one dollar.
Prominent figures in the literary
world are having their say about
this. They are disagreeing heatedly.
Authors have plunged into the argu-
ments and the battle is becoming
interesting. II
The layman knows little about the
result of this move upon either the
publishing business or the writer's.
Nor just how the reading public will
react to it. We do know this, how
ever, that in many cases the pub
fishers will be rendering a real serv-
ice by cutting the price to fit the
quality of the thing they sell.
Pays According to Grade
In all other fields of merchandise,
one pays according to the grade OF
the article purchased. A SIS dress
is not expected to be SO fine as a
500 gown. One gets cheap furniture,
cheap cars and cheap food for cheap
prices.
1t is only in the book world that
we have been obliged to pay the
same price for trash as for good lit
erature. This is fair neither to the
author nor to the reader
Granting that it may cost as
much to print cheap book, the
fact remains that the purchaser is
the one stung. Thousands of books
issued today will be extremely over
priced at dollar
Dear at Quarter
Nor am 1 one to say that there
is no place for mediocre books. I
know that millions of human beings
deveur the cheapest with delight.
For that am thankful, because any
book, however poor, is better than
no book at all
But in books. as IN everything
else, there should be diScrimina-
ton made between the shoddy and
the genuine article. Kristin Law
ransdatter is worth more than avn
body can afford to pay. 'Ex-Hus-
band" is dear at quarter.

Mayor Jimmy Walker Acts
to Halt Corruption in
Administration.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press staK Cerrespoadsnt

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Tammany
Hall. beset with more charges OF
official corruption among its ap-
pointeeS or, friends than at any
other time since the days of Boss
Tweed. was viewed by some politi-
cal experts today as trying to clean
house for the November elections
Even Mayor James j. Walker, or
dinarily gay. bantering and nom
chalant, is regarded as worried about
the state Of affairs in Tanimany
Hall, which put him in office. OF
late, he has foresworn his witty
speeches and care free vacation
trips to stay on the job and lecture
the heads of city departments on
the necessity of conducting an hon.
est administration.
SuSpends Good Friend
AS late as Wednesday, it became
the mayors duty to suspend his
boyhood playmate and loyal com-
rade in Tammany, Martin J. Healy,
from the position of first deputy
commissioner of the department Of
plants and structures because Healy
was under a cloud in an alleged sale
of an office.
But the man who is assuming
the largest role in the present difil
cultieS confronting Tammany is not
member of the organization, nor
even member of the Democratic
party, the political faith to which
Tammany adheres.
Instead, he is the Republican
United States district attorney,
Charles H. Tuttle, who has been
vigorous in the prosecution of such
Tammony officials as we're charged
with violation of federal laws.
Seen as Campaign Boon
Tuttle's zeal has reen interpreted
variously. His friends and Repub-
lican supporters contend his action
is the natural result of his con-
Scientious performance of his duties.
His political opponents contend.
however, that the federal attorney
is attempting 20 amaSS record
that will win for him the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor.
Estimates of what official corrup-
ton In New York in the last three
years has cost the taxpayers range
from $1,000, 900 to $4,000 goo. Not
all of the men who have been con-
victed, however, we're Tammany
members.

thumped, while a green melon rings
with a metallic sharpness. In other
words the ripe melon says "plunk'
and the green one says pink"
Inspect Surface Of Melon
The color and condition OF the
surface OF a watermelon should be
given special attention. If the I'M
der-side is a pale yellow, lemon or
a warm ivory color with the skin a
sort of warty roughnesS, then ripe
ness is indicated.
A warm, yellowiSh green rather
than a bright clear green on the
top is desirable. There's a thin,
flm-like covering all over the sur
face of a watermelon.
When the melon is ripe, this cover
ing will peel of like dry wax If the
thumb nail is drawn across 1t.
often part of a cut melon is
purchased. Keep in mind that the
flesh should be a deep pink or
bright red well out to the rind and
that it should have a silver sheen.
II should also lie crisp and juicy.
Avoid Misshapen Fruit
Although misShapen melons
should be avoided, the shape of the
fruit is of no importance, round or
long melons being equally good.
The color OF the seeds is a matter
of the variety of the melon and has
little to do with maturity.
LARGE melons usually are more
desirable than small ones, but q
heavy, small melon is preferable to
lightweight large one.
Over-ripe melons are as undesir-
able as immature ones. These can
be detected by the dull appearance
of the rind and the large amount
of yellow veins through the green
surface.
watermelon is always popular
served "au naturelle." but there are
innumerable ways of preparing it.
AS a cocktail with a nonalcoholic
sherry dressing, in a salad in a
sherbet or a frappe, watermelon is
refreshing for hot weather meals.
Since It is made up chiefly of
water. ii is of little fuel and adds a
minimum OF calories to ones diet.

on things feminine.
One expression Of It is the SEEM

troll the design of the costume,
whether il be a coat dress. a jacket
theme or a blouse or gilet.
Several of the most advanced de-
signers are employing buttons for
their practical uses in fastening the
blouse or skirt, rather than in the
way Of decoration.
Double Breasted Style Back
This tendency has brought back
the double breasted feature, a line
which is in harmony with the wrap
over treatment and the surplice
theme, since 1t gives a distinctly
overlapping blouse effect.
The fancy for making blouses in
the guise Of jackets is one Of the
style diversions which develops the
double-b motif.
A simple straight sports coat,
something on the lines of the old
time Norfolk but without its pleats,
Is posed over a skirt of equally SIM

fabric, so that the double breasted
treatment with its contrasting and
fairly large buttons is really the
feature o. the costume.
