 At this season of the year new cabbage and caulifower greet the market-going housewife. These veg etables are shipped north from the south and California in great quan- titles and are so attractively priced that there is no reason to regard them as luxuries or as vegetables in any way inferior to the homegrown products of late summer.
 These suggestions may help the in- experienced marketer in making her selections. All vegetables have cer- tain points" to wstch for when purchasing them.
 New cabbage will not be as hard and heavy as the oll has been, but it should be firm and fairly solid. 1t should be free from sponginess or softness and reasonably heavy. It should be closely trimmed. with the outer leaves crisp and green. Wilted or yellowed outer leaves mean age and a general wiltiness throughout the head. The head should be smooth and well formed without cracks.
 Look for Injuries
 Certain defects are easily detected upon examination. Worm injury or uCCdy opOlS are pcElcClly dppdk ChL and mean just so much waste.
 The size of cabbage heads has little relation to quality, small heads often being as firm and desirable in every way as large ones. Individual needs must determine the advisability of purchasing large or small heads. It IS usually economy to select heads of size that will be used in not more than two meals.
 New cabbage is cared for after cutting much as head lettuce is. Wrapped in a damp cloth and placed in an air-t:ght .container, 1t will stay crisp several days.
 In choosing caulifiower, there are two parts to be considered: the jacket or outer green leaves and the head itself. If the jacket is in good condition, an extra meal is fur nished, for these outer leaves can be carefully trimmed and cooked. They should be fresh and firm and of a bright green color. Cauliflower Is a very perishable vegetble and a per- feet head bespeaks the utmost care in harvesting and shipping. If the flower is clean and pearly white, solid, finely and closely grained free green and fresh. the vegetable is of the first quality.
 Richness, so often found in heads ot caulf1ower. is said to be sort of second growth. This gives the head a granular appearance and indicates over-maturity.
 Looseness, which is the result of a separation of the clusters, also shows over-maturity and is undersir- able.
 Dirt and worm stains are hard to remove and injure the flower. These imperfections mean waste and must be considered in the purchase price.

T., June To- (UP)-The entire police force of Nassau county was looking for Is goldfish - including the beautiful Marie-to-day and Lieutenant Arr thur Smith. their owner. was very sorrowful indeed. Long a nature lover, Lieutenant Smith decided a couple of months ago that he would raise some goldfish. He spent many laborious hours digging a pool in his back yard, lining it with cement, and erecting fountain in the cen- ter.

His fa- vorite was the beautiful Marie, a fantail with limpid eyes. who was always first to the surface when the lieutenant appeared with dinner.
 But when Lieutenant Smith ap- peared Monday to look at his fish before reporting for duty. they were gone. He searched the pool. but he couldn't find one-not even the beautiful Marie. A general alarm was sent out over the police tele- graph, and the whole detective force (having nothing else to do) set to work on the case. Lieutenant Smith hopes the beautiful Marie hasn't been used for bait by some fisherman. ,...
