Oysters Are Fat-Why?
From the Baltimore American


Oysters this season are in good con-
dition-wel grown, pumped out and
properly Favored. This is not only true
as to Maryland oysters, but the reports
from Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware
are to the same effect. Last year the
mollusks were f1abby in appearance and
decidedly off as to flavor IT is fact
which has never been adequately ex-
planned that oysters are much better in
quality during some years than during
other years.
1t is generally understood that the
microscopic food upon which the oyster
subsists is abundant some years and less
abundant other years, and the food sup
ply is at the basis of the oyster yield,
just as it is the cause behind in the
production Of beef, pork or mutton The
abundant rains of last summer, carrying
down land washings to the sea, have
possibly resulted in a rich yield of the
hoating minute vegetation which devel-
ops along the bottom muds where the
oyster makes his home. 1t may be sur
prise suggestion to most people that the
rainfall has to do with the growing of
oysters, Just as with the growing OF
onions, but it is probable that a long dry
spell does touch the oysters down under
the neverfailing waters
Those who believe that the scientific
investigators can teach us nothing worth
knowing about oyster culture are Just
the sort of cocksure standpatters that
have been obstructing the wheels of ma
terial progress for 1900 years. The sci
entists have already taught us many
valuable things about producing water
foods, though in the region of Maryland
we have thus far used this information
but sparingly.

That not only European traffic but the
use of the passport has increased dur nS

parison of figures In 1910 there were
24,O69 passports issued, while ten years
previous but 14.Il4 were issued, making
an increase of nearly $500.
While the issuance of passports seems
serious enough matter. there are times
when humorous incidents creep in. The
majority of amusing incidents occur i'll
connection with the descriptive questions
that are on the application blank. Appli-
cants as a rule fill these questions out
themselves, while they are sometimes
filled out at the passport office. The hu-
morOuS situations arise out of a msun-

Before a passport is issued the oath of
allegiance is usually required But per-
sons who prefer making an affirmation to
taking the oath have always been permit
ted TO do so. From time TO time. however.
applicants for passports have been mem
bers of religious sectS who from consci-
entious scrupes have been unwilling to
take the oath without expressing some
reservation tending to invalidate il. For
some time the practice in these cases va
ried. and some were granted passports,
while others were refused The question
was definitely decided in 1897 when the
government had no disposition to deny to
any loyal citizen the protection of pass
port OF to place upon nm any require
ments repusnant TO his conscience. On
the other hand it was decided that any
alterations tending to invalidate it. also,
could not be allowed and consequently
an altered form of oath from that or
dinarily given was prepared.
Originally there was no fee required for
passports. The form of passport used i'm
1896 contained the word gratis printed
upon il. did that used in 1917. 1t was
omitted in ls2I. restored in 1893. and since
1857 has been omitted. In 1862 it was
provided that a fee of So should be
charged for passports. Two years later
this amount was increased to 50. In 1888
the present fee OF 81 went into force.
Passports are good for two years from
their date of issuance, but can be re-
newed. In the event of a new passport
being desired, new application and fee
have to be given.
The first passport found in the records
OF the passport division is dated July s,
1895. and was issued to Francis Maria
Barrere. That passport was in printed
form and of considerable length Since
then several changes have been made in
the style of the passports issued as well
as the ornamentations used While the
first form was about letter size, and I'M
