BEFRIENDS OYSTERS
New Jersey Biologist Cries Out
Against Oyerwork of the
Patient Bivalves.

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. s.
That the oysters of the Maurice
river cove are victims of indus
trial tyranny is indicated in the
report. of Prof Julius Nelson,
biologist of the state agricultural
experiment station, who declares
that they are not dying off be-
cause diseased, but are yielding to
the effects of overwork.
That is what is the matter
with them. They are being kept
at the job overtime. The adult
oysters are given no leisure for
home life, and as result the
birth rate is decreasing. Give
them a vacation, it's suggested,
and give them chance to restore
themselves. This thing of work
ing night and day shifts to take
care of orders ahead is suicidal
for the oyster. After all, isn't it
reasonable to believe that

WOMAN HOLDER OF RECORD BREAKING BOWLING SCORES .
SAYS SUCCESS IS due TO CONSTANT DAILY PRACTICE
Especial Correspondence.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Dec. A. -
Having smashed all bowling roc
ords under circumstances which
seem to leave no room to doubt
the genuineness of her perform
ances, Mrs. Henry N. Butterworth
of this city is champion high SEQ e
bowler of the world. Mrs. Butter
worth's record follows:
800. 300. 299, 299, 297, 2Sa.
2SS, 283, 279, 279, 279, 279.
Total pins 3471. Average
2S9A.
These scores were the 12 best
games bowled in a tournament.
That the alleys were regulation,
the scoring correct and the pins
set true, are substantiated by az.
! fidavits, necessary when the pub
lie refused to accept the perform
ance.
To show WHAT a performant e
was Mrs. Butterworth's, attention
is called to winning scores in tho
big tournaments. In March Frei
Schwartje,' in Rochester, N. Y.
won the National Bowling associa-
Ition's individual championship
with 696 for three games. At The
A. B. c. in Pittsburg A. Winglet's
500 was the best. In the Cana
dian championship, Jacob Sebring
won with $50 in 1908. The aver.
age of Jimmy Smith in Milwauxne
was 233, but his across-the-
country games would not average
200. Miss Littlefield and Mrs.
Bishop rolled $3.50 in 10 games
in New York last year, and John
Rosters average is 2S3 for three
games, 240 for eight, and 23S for
IL games.
Mrs. Butterworth' style is her
own. She delivers the ball RIGHT
handed, from the extreme LEFT
side of the alley. The ball clin rs
to the edge until within a few
feet of the pins, when it swervcs
to the right, striking between the
one and two pins. The ball is
not fast, but the hook" is uni
form. Mrs. Butterworth is the
wife of III. N. Butterworth, mana
ger of one of the oldest mercan-
tile houses in this city, and is one
of Watertowns social leaders. She
took up bowling for diversion,
and became fascinated. Her YER

of the Greek maidens dance with
Joy at sight of the Grecian ships, :"

mind s eye actual dancing figures.
By sounds he tried to set before
the listeners mind the moving
figures of the dancing nynlJrhs,
and the leaping, joyous girls. Old
Mendelssohn must have seen each
step. Each bar of music must
have meant a movement; eaci,
change of time or tone changed
picture on his mental stage. And,
therefore, it should be possible to
reverse the process. 1t should be
possible to visualize the work of
Grieg,- rthe Blue Danube waltz
The most beautiful music in the
world should be translated into
dances. Perfect sounds shout!

we are doing something never
