THIS CLAM DISCUSSION OVER THE
CALM IS MAKING US NERVOUS

into pcals OF Homeric laughter at
the suggestion
Yesterday we interviewed . oen-
tleman who claimed 20 be an author
ity on CLANS. We found him At
Billy the Mugs. He assured us that
he had frequently seen CLANS crawl.
The gentleman had red nose. In
his younger days. he said, he had
been a sailor. Taken prisoner BY
pirates, he was rarooned by them
on lone island not far from Butte,
Montana. There he saw CLAIMS
which not only orawied. but hoped.
skipped and jumped, and ran mara
thons- He also saw flocks Of pink
cameIs.
We suspect the gentleman exag-
gerated.
Last night, still pursuing the In.
quiry. we dropped in at our favor
lite place OF refreshment and ate a
clam chowder. We know II was
clam chowder because the bartender
said II was. Besides, we found q
clam. II took us a long time to
find IL. II was hiding behind a
piece OF potato.
We watched II closely, and IL did
not crawl--then.
But II crawled later, and dis
turbed our sIumbers. Sliced Gu
cumbers crawl the same way. BY
the same token we have eaten
Welsh rabbits which, when eaten.
seemed perfectly dead, but which
later rioted on our lnsides during
long hours Of torment.

The question was first asked
some days ago In Cynthia Grey's

neurotic clam. A temperamental
