Usually police are handicapped ct the start by the fact that any report they receive on someone being 1nisss ing from home comes from 24 hours to a week after the absence has been discovered by relatives. For some reason families hesitate to Ores report the absence to police until after every other possible means has proved unsuccessful. r
 Meagre Details
 Then when police do get the rec port, it is usually too sketchy toshe of much help and 8 detective or uniformed policeman has to be sent to the home to get full descriptions This description, which includes height, general appearance. Clotl1s ing and so on, is given to every street and motor patrolnnan on the force, and each one keeps . sharp lookout for the missing person during his period of duty. Often, the description given by relatives proves faulty, and in many instances they are unable to recall or describe what kind and color of clothing was worn by the person who disapA peared.
 The next step on the part of pol lice is to relay a description of the missing person by teletype to cities where the one who disappeared might possibly have gone. In many cases, the wanderers are found at the homes of relatives, and this is always one of the first items checked in any investigation.
 Bright Lights
 Relatives are often able to furn- ish valuable clues. For instance, If 14-year old Johnny has been ex- pressing hankering to see Broad way, and if his mother gave himia scolding the day before, then it's not a bad guess that Johnny might be m New York or on his way there. And often he's found in some little town along the Post Road, hungry and broke and waiting for a ride.
 In most cases those who are l0- cated are only too glad to get home. The prospect of warmth and com fort and food makes them forget whatever grievances they had. Fam fly arguments, according to police; are the leading cause for runaways. Words lead to more words and next morning Junior or his sister has slipped out of the house and is on the way to see the world. ssr Hunger Helps
 With prompt reports and accurate information police are able to locate most missing persons within 8 few days. Youngsters and those in their teens are usually the easiest to locate: the grownups are harder to find, and often they're missing until they tire of the open road and come i home for three squares" day.

St8Ue SeHaIUr PEPPER PRIZE IS <. GIVEN TO CURTIS
Connecticut Man Wins Honor in All-America
 Vegetable Selections

Winsor-A, . sweet pepper devel- oped by Lawrence Curtis of the Connecticut Agricultural Experi- ment Station at New Haven, is one of four vegetables receiving awards e. merit in the 1887 All-America vegetable selections. Eighty-five varieties were submitted in this contest. Last week seed of each was sent out to 10 different sections of the country for trials and F ju1ges voted on the award. Wind SOFIA, Connecticut's entry, received four votes, twice the required min- t....Lln, and 26 points. It was rec commended to the seed trade as very desirable for short season areas"
 The judges base their decisions on adaptability to locality, dis tinctive features which make the plant different from other varieties such as size, shape, color, uniform fruits, productivity, etc, and mar ket appeal.
 , In the trials at the Mount Car mel farfh of the experiment sta ton and at t,-e vegetable plots at Windsor, Windsor-A outdistanced its commercial rivals three to one. It produced fruits earlier than any of the other thick-walled varieties planted for comparison. In the first two pickings it gave as much fruit as was yielded by other va rieties during the entire season. When the total season yields were t,llied, the score for Windsor-A in pounds and number of fruits was three times that of any other com parable commercial variety.
 Windsor-A is the offspring of Bountiful crossed by California wonder, two extreme types of pep pers, each with a few notifications of the ideal variety. It is the re- suit of number of years of re- search in plant 'bredeing. MT. Cur t,- details its history and charac- teristics in Station Circular TOT. z M tifjsf
