SAW PINK OYSTERS AND

Washington, Nov. 19.-Pink oysters
are the latest freak of nature under
investigation by experts of the depart

bivalve comes from beds in Long Is

when gathered. but turns up pink ON

Frightened epieureans besieged the
bureau of chemistry with inquiries.
and a volunteer poison squad found
the pink oysters not only harmless
but delicious. The chemists have al
theory that the oysters are turned
pink either by a wild yeast bacillus
or some other micro organism.
