+ PRICE 15C, 70 20: SUPPLY ABUNDANT . Tens of Thousands of Boxes of Lemons: May Be Sold for 5 Cents a Box. . By P. Q. Foy. (Special Food Expert of The Eve- ning World.) The Evening World's promise of a big drop in the price of sugar has been redeemed. The retail prices now are from 15\to 20 cents a®pound, and the supply Is adequate to meet all reasonable demands. Housewives, however, are advised to buy in mod- erate quantities—just endugh for rou- tine use and canning purposes. The artificial high price has been broken and the law of supply and demand is now tn operation, which means that, the Way to keep the price down is keep the demand down to a moderate level. The manager of a large market in West 125th Street declared to-day that “The Evening World bus ‘ac- complished a task in which alt other agenctes failed.” A cargo of 35,000 boxes of lemons is abandoned on the docks at Jer- sey City and several hundred thou- sand more boxes of ,imported lem- ons, the ocean freight on them ex- ceeding one dollar a box, were offered at from twenty-five to fifty cents a box, and some as low as ten, to fifteen cents for hoxes con- taining 800 fine Sicily lemons, but owing to ‘the sugar shortage no one wanted them, and tens of thousands Of boxes were carted to the offal dock. An offer of five cents a box entered forthe lemons now at Jer- sey City will be accepted if the cus- toms officers agree to receive import duty on that basis, The cheap cuts of pot roasts and stewing meats were offered at ex- G@remely low prices, but were piled up on the counters and beef boxes un- sold last Saturday. Good, juicy cuts fro mi6 cents to 32 cents, which In- cluded shoulder, breas: cuts, while chuck steaks cost” from " 28 to 32 cents a pound, A Third Ave- Bue retail butcher blamed the high cost of fuel as the reason why house- wives do not buy these cheap cuts of meat. Some of the high class stores charged as much as 65 cents for por- terhouse and 66 cents for sirloin and top round steaks, while similar cuts from medium steers were retailed at 33 to 44 oft retail » Lamb ane Ds mutton was retailed at reasonable “prices. Legs of mutton were sold tn most shops at 26 to 28 cents, some as high as 30 cents, but the breast amd shoulder cuts of mut- ton were retailed at 14 @ 16 cents, and In some stores at 10 and 12 cents.

Wednesday afternoon Levine be- came ill, in the Municipal Building, and was taken to Bellevue. That evening, @ policeman from the Bliza- beth Street Station was sent to no- tity Levine'sfamily. There was no one at home, and the policeman told a nelghbor to tell Mrs. Levine her son was in Bellevue and wanted to see her. he neighbor told Mrs, Levine he was in Goyverneur Hospital, and the mother and Levine's four sisters and two brothers went there. About 6 o'clock Wednesday even- ing 4 man was taken to Gouverneur Hospital from Broome and Ridge Streets, wher he had “been picked up suffering from morphine polson- ing. He was behind a screen and unable to talk when the Levines filed in and made the identification. | * All night Mrs, Levine sat on the hospital steps, At dawn she was told her son was dead. After an autopsy, an undertaker, at Mrs, Levine's direction, got the body, a lot costing $100 was bought, in Monteflore Cemetery, Brooklyn, and on Friday the burial took place, The unidentified man who was buried was about thirty-eight, 5 feet 9% inches tall, 190 pounds in weight and of dark complexion.

They have been taken care of at the Pershing House for Convalescent Sol- diers at No, 54 Gramercy Park. The home was opened more than two years ago, as a part of the War Camp Comgnunity Service, and when the organization went out of exiatence was continued under private enter- prise. ‘ The lease on the bullding expires Sept. 1. When the men were told they were to be sent to the Fox Hills Hospital, Staten Island, there was consternation, for thirty-four are flat broke, and the thirty-fifth, who has fifty cents, is looked on as @ man of wealth. “How are we to go every day from Fox Hills to the United Statea Public Hospital at No, 343 West 50th Street for treatment, when we haven't a sou?” they asked. The management of Pera}fing House appealed to the Rotary Club for financial assistance. The club will do nothing for the house, because it feels that the Government should care for the soldiers.

LONDON, Avg. 30An alleged text of the agreement between Gen. Wrangle and France, in which the latter recognized the former's anti- Bolshevik Government in return for recognition of Russia's pre-war debts to France with compounl interest is quoted by the Stockholm correspon- dent of the Daily Herald. According to the alleged agreement, France will convert the debts into a new 6% per cent. loan for thirty-five years, after overthrow of the Soviet Government, Wrangel guarantees the interest on this loan by handing over Russian railway rights and collection of customs in Black Sea and Sea of Azof ports, France would also get options on surplus grain in Ukrainia and Kuban, three-quarters of the ex- ports of naphtha and benzine and one- quarter of the exports of coal from the Don districts. Wrangel, the correspondent said, would also undertake to restore the pre-war military system in Russia through co-operation of France, which ‘would restore rifle and munition fac- tories, A Franco-Russian offensive and de- fensive alliance, to last twenty years, would be effected, ministrative assistant at leas than three yea 920 check, F testified that for past; Probation Mafyland General Hospital, Jack Sprat "Eddys” Sau proved by ,.
