Department uf Agrlcultur Tht nrlnclpftl difference between Englishmen and Americans," Mid a Right Honorable British tatman who vas traveling in thie country, "1m that Americana eat their dessert at the beginning of meal and En glishmen eat theirs last." He meant, of course, our first-course melon or grapefruit or grapes, or fruit cocktail, and the English fruit dessert. Not that -we do not hare fruit desserts, but you do find fresh fruit, stewed fruit, or the compote a far more com mon dessert In other countries than with us. Of course, If It comes to a question of who consume the moat fruit In the long run, we might get the medal, because we do use so much fruit at breakfast, and In cocktails and salads at other meals, as well as In desserts. This applies, however, of a lavish table. Fruit may not be so plentiful In homes where somebody has to count every penny that goes for food, especially city homes which cannot grow any fruits of their own. It Is a good thing, then, and timely, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the TJ. 8. Department of Agriculture, to look at our fruit prospects Just now. For most of the country, the sum mer fruits are gone, but cantaloupes are still with us, and grapes are Just arriving. It is fall apple time, too, but this is a poor apple year, except In the Far West. It Is a better-than- average year for pears, however. And bananas, at this writing, are cheaper than usual. So there we have a fair list of fall fruits. Cantaloupes are good and also plen tlful this year because there has been so much sunshine and dry weather, on which melons thrive and grow sweet, if only the Tines have moisture enough for their roots. The home-grown melons should be vine-ripened, therefore sweeter and better than any others, if the tempta tion to pick them green has not proved too great for the melon grower, Right there, by the way, Is a pointer for us on choosing cantaloupes in market. No good cantaloup, says department .fruit specialist, has the stem or any bit of stem left on It. A ripe melon comes off the vine al most lit a touch, leaving a smooth place where the stem was attached. If the stem Is still there, or any part of it, or if you see evidences of Its having been cut out or off, you may know the cantaloup was picked too soon. Also, a ripe cantaloup is almost oert&ln to hare a yellowish ground color under the network on Its outer surface. You cannot depend on the so-called test of pressing the stem end with your fingers. A ripe melon will yield to the pressure of course, but so will one that was picked green snd Is going "soft." This is a good year for grapes. though a poor one for apples. Grape buds form in the spring, on wood that grows during the spring, so the cold weather that killed many apple buds last winter did not hurt the grapes. California and the West Coast pro duce the European grapes, many for wine, many for the table, end there will be plenty of all kinds this year. We eat fruit because we like it, of course; but there are other reasons for doing so, reasons both aesthetic and physiological. Surely no food is more beautiful or enticing than a bowl of ripe fruit. But fruits have certain nutritive values some fruits more than others and they serve other purposes In the diet. They have a delicate fiber which gives a desir able kind of bulk In the digestive tract, and although they may seem acid to the taste, they are, with a few exceptions, alkaline in their re action In the body. , And this fact Is important. Nor mally the body is slightly alkaline, and to keep it so calls for a balance between the foods that have an al kaline reaction and those that are acld-fonnlnff. That la to say, bread and cereals, meat, fish and eggs, which are acld-formlng, should be balanced by vegetables and fruits, which are alkaline in their reactions in the body. Eat your fruits raw if you would get their full food value, says the Bureau of Home Economics and eat plenty of them. The food values are so diluted (fruits are more tnan nine tenths water) that It takes a good deal in fruit bulk to yield enough of the minerals and vitamins they ron tain, though the content oi sugar la considerable. Cantaloupes, watermel ons, grapes, bananas, and yellow peaches are fair sources of vitamins A, B. and C. In fact, you get vitamin C in all fresh fruits. And you get a fair amount of iron from grape aktns which you may not eat fresh, but which are crushed and squeezed for grape juice, grape Jelly, grepe mar malade, and so on. All told, the pro- Miss Ruth Mayland of Chlcagc holds ths mors or leu sacred night blooming cnreuit in her hands and ixplains the charm of this flower that blooms but for one hour, one night, each year.

(AP)- Many Spokane streetcar and bus pa trons walked to work today as police said they had started "a determined effort to end rioting" In connection with the operators' strike. Mobs almost wrecked the Spokane United railway's oar barns last night after buses and cars had been or dered from the streets, and today not a car or bus went out. "Courtesy cars" operated by the strikers primarily for the benefit of union men deprived of transporta tion but available for other patrons, mrx.e a show of covering bus and car schedules early today, but they han dled only a small part of the traffic. Until today polios have made little effort to snd heckling of non-striking drivers at downtown centers, but Chief of Police Ira Martin said all such demonstrations must cease. The entire esrly morning shift of police men, scheduled to go off duty at 6 o'clock, was held at headquarters to carry out his orders. "W are going to stop rioting and make It safe for the operation of the buses and streetcars whenever offi cials of the company are ready to resume service," Chief Martin said.
