Then old Dr. Jones and Aunt Maria

youth, husking bees, harvest home fes-

youth lets loose it's spirits. And so they

"Yor are correcting your grayest

Pearl Farming
Is Profitable
Oysters Are Now Cultivated Espe-
cially for Their Pearls, and Experts
Can Handle Them so that the
Precious Gem Is Grown to Best
Advantage

In the Gulf of Lower California there
is in operation the largest pearl farm
in the world, where the cultivation of
pearls has been taken up as practical
industry. To harvest the annual crop
of pearls on this farm requires the
labor of 1000 people, including the
modern pearl divers, whose methods
have been completely revolutionized by
the up-to-date appliances employed in
this new industry.
Pearl farming as originated by the
Mexican company which owns the big
Lower California farm, is the res
the discovery of very simple fact
cerning pearl-bearing mollusks. Al.er
twenty-five years of study and expert
ment it was discovered that the shell
loses it's gem after 1t is 2 years old,
and unless opened at the proper time
there will be no pearl within. Follow
ing this discovery the system whereby
the shells are cultivated until the proper
time and then opened was devised.
The eggs, which are gathered with
the shells during the season when the
eggs are being deposited, are placed in
protective cages, in the bottom of
which are little artificial channels, made
to initiate the bottom of the sea. The
utmost care is taken to protect the
young mollusks from their natural
enemies. When they have arrived at
the proper age they are transferred to

itor:
"Dr. Jones, do you see that 1t is 10
O'clock? Mercy me, 1 never heard 1t
when 1t struck nine. Where We're my
wits, anyway"
Back in the happy past, Maria"
smiled the good doctor. I'VE were
young again for an hour and half to-
night, and now that we are old again
let us not forget that others are young
as we were once, and that youth has
its own requirements. And while /
think of 1t, Maria, / came over ex-
pressly to ask you to reconsider your
decision in regard to little Katie's MAX
ing one of the Halloween party tomor-
row night. My little Oracle has told
me that you refused to grant your con-
sent to her going. But since you have
just had a peep into the folded pages
of your own past, enjoyed once more
the sweet springtime of life and its
innocent gayety, don't bar those prec-
ious memories from your mind. Stay
young in heart and help the young in
years to be happy. What do you say
to Katie's going with the party tomor-
row evening? They are planning on
gay time with a supper at our house
after they have torn the town up"
And the good doctor laughed merrily
his blue eyes twinkling as he rose to
take his departure.
Aunt Maria's face flushed a bit. She
felt for the first time that perhaps she
had been a little too strict I'm her
methods regarding the rearing of
Katie. "Well," she said, II guess she
may 60 The only thing, doctor, is
this: When we-you and were young
we never had these rough Halloween
parties. We were more decorous in
our conduct"
"You have surely forgotten again

On the model Lower California farm
1t has been demonstrated that it Is pos

shell with pair of tweezers to disclose
the presence or absence of the pearl
