For Green Oysters.

Baltimoreans returning from Europe
are bringing home stories of green oys-
ters that have perplexed oyster experts
here. Paris this season is clamoring for
oysters greener than ever, and some Of
the pilgrims have asked the packers
here if there is likely to be any varia-
tions in the usual color scheme of the
Chesapeake Bay oysters. Those who
have brought word Of the latest color
effects in bivalves have not been greeted
with encouragement. Packers and 9TH
ers who are handling the Chesapeake
product believe that innovations in the
complexion of the oysters will not add
to their value.
DIR. Caswell Grave of the Shellfish
Commission, who has looked at the oys-
ter from many angles, said that word
of the European fad for green oysters
has reached the oystermen in this coun-
try, but that there is little likelihood Of
a change in taste here. DIR. Grave has
eaten the green ones and says that they
are just as good as those of the usual
pearly-gray tint. He said that he had
seen and eaten some greens" from
North Carolina that had flavor that
was pleasing as variation. The color,
he explained, depends upon the food, and
that in turn depends upon the marine
growth in the sections whence the oys-
ters come. Oysters raised in artificial
ponds near the seashore in England are
nearly always green, and occasionally
green oysters have been found in Mary
land waters. In America. he said, green
is associated with poison and is unpopu-
lar as a color for foods. He has made
study of the gleen oysters and has
found that they are not likely to be any
more or less healthful than those Of the
usual colors.
Vigorous champions of the Chesapeake
oysters against all comers believe that
the European brothers have turned
green with envy.
There are men in town who have seen
enough of Paris TO know how wicked it
is who believe that the oysters are not
green. but their seeming TO be of that
hue is due to the diners gazing too long
upon the cream de menthe and the abb
sinthe.

METHODISTS
union NEAR
DR.. Lewis Says Those At Cincin-
natl Expect Action In May

That the union of the three great
branches of Methodism will soon be ac-
complished was the declaration of Rev.
DIR. T. H. Lewis. president of Western
Maryland College and member of the
committee of nine appointed by the
Joint Commission on Methodist Union
which met in Baltimore on December |.
He has just returned from the meet
of the committee which was held in
Cincinnati last week.
While he refused to disclose the exact
nature of the agreement that was
reached, as it is being withheld to re-
port to the meeting of the commission
which will be held in Chattanooga next
May, DIR. Lewis said he was greatly
pleased with the outcome of the gather
ing and hopeful of the final success of
the movement.
All the points of differences, accord
ing to DIR. Lewis, were gone into, and
the members of the committee felt that
the new organization. which will en-
brace the Methodist Episcopal Church,
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
and the Methodist Protestant Church,
will have to be different in some re-
spects from those now in existence.
Every difference, hs said, yielded to
strong disire for union on the part of
the committee. and a plan was finally
adopted unanimously by which it is be-
lieved that the union may be accom-
plished.
1.-The result was surprise to all.
DIR. Lewis said. "We expected that
several meetings would have to be held
before an agreement could be reached.
When the final adjournment was taken
the members of the committee held an
impromptu thanksgiving meeting.
"lf the plan as drawn by the COM
mittee is accepted by the Joint Com
mission or another ageed upon, it will
be submitted to the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
the Methodist Protestant Church. which
will meet in May, 1912, and the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which holds its next ses-
sion in 1914"
The committee of nine. which arranged
the basis of agreement, consisted of
Bishops Earl Cranston and J. M. Wal
den and DR.. r. I. Miller, from the
Methodist Episcopal Church; Bishop E.
E. Hess, Rev. +. II. Thomas and Mr.. X.
F. G. Thomas, from the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and DR.. Lewis,
Rev. NJ. l.. Jennings and Mr.. S. r.
Harris, of the Methodist Protestant
Church.
