PITT O. X. ON PINK OYSTERS.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. ~
Pink oyters are the latest freak OF ma
ture under investigation by experts of
the Department of Agriculture. The
rosy-hued biyalve comes from beds in
Long Island Sound, looks like a reg
ular oyster when gathered. but turns
up pink on the plate of the ultimate
consumer.
Frightened epicureans besieged the
Bureau of Chemistry with inquiries,
and a volunteer poison squad found
the pink oyster not only harmless, but
delicious. The chemists have a theory
that the oysters are turned pink either
by wild yeast bacillus or some other
micro-organism Of marine vegetation
upon which they fed.

FOOD Ordinance
Some Councilmen, However,
Still Doubt Legality
of Measure
MAY GET TEST
IN COURT LATER

Convinced that the pure food ordi-
nance had not been jammed through
City Council, as several members of
that body had claimed. Mayor Howell
last evening sent the new ordinance
to City Council with his signature
President William p. White at once
declared the ordinance a part of the
laws of the city TO become affective
within thirty days from yesterday,
With the ordinance Mayor Howell
sent the following communication:
"To the Honorable President and
Members of the Mayor and Council
of Wilmington.
Gentlemen: l am returning you
herewith with my signature affixed
the ordinance entitled An Ordinance
for the Better Protection of the Citi-
zens of the City Of Wilmington
"Inasmuch as an agreement seems
to have been made among the Board
of Health, City Council and the MIX
Dealers Association to make certain
amendments to Section IA, l would
suggest that Council take the proper
means to amend the said section as
to properly cover the point agreed
upon.
Furthermore, would suggest that
Council recommend to the Board of
Health that a specific translation be
made to the various businesses in
volved, covering the points upon
which they seem to be in doubt, ow-
ing TO the phraseology used in some
of the sections"
After the ordinance had been de-
clared valid, Councilman Kane asked
what amendments had been made 10
the ordinance. These we're read by
Clerk Dillon. One dealt with the
handling of milk and manufacture of
ice cream and candy under the street
I level and subsection II of Section
is dealing with cold storage.
Councilman Kane said: II want to
say that these amendments we're not
made in a legal manner. There was
no action taken by Council last
Thursday night to substitute these
paragraphs in place of those in the
ordinance which was given two read
ings on May IA. Councilman Kane
resumed his seat, saying: "The ordi-
nance will not hold water"
President White said he agreed
with Councilman Kane on the point
but that as Council had passed the
ordinance. he thought II was law.
Councilman Weller E. Slower de-
clared that a set of parliamentary
! laws governing ordinances had never
been adopted by Council. AS for the
ordinance. he declared IL had beer
passed by eight members of Council
and the mayor had signed II, and he
thought 1t was a law.
President OF Council White said
that he would side with Mr. Kane
should Il be shown that the ordinance
is not the same as presented at Its
first reading. Councilman Kane saiC
he was not in favor of the ordinance
anyhow, and declared that amend
ments had been made which had no
been brought before the members a
their last meeting, when the ordi
nance was passed.
The incident then closed, although
several milk dealers present express
ed the opinion that no jury could bl
found who would convict any one 70

Street and Sewer Department a cop.
of the opinion given by City Solicito

The first model that has been opened

industry. This will cost, by the time it
Is finished. about $4,000. but it will be
perfect and complete. 1t takes the coal
mine and shows the working of the
mine and the tipple itself. There is the
separator and the washery, where the
coal is separated into the various COM
mercial sizes-the lump, the egg and the
nut. This is as far the average citi
zen understands anything of the indus
try. But it is really only the beginning
Coal production has come to the point
where the by-products are rapidly be-
coming commercial rivals of the coal
itself. Much of the coal Is used for
coking. Last year in this country there
were II ,OO0.O tons so used. 1t used to
be that this coking was done in the old
beehive oven, which wasted everything
but the coke. Now. however. has come
the retort oven. In this there is saved as
much gas as would furnish almost the
same amount of heat and power as the
original coal If it were turned under a
boiler.
All of the coal tar is saved. Heretofore
there has been enough coal tar wasted
in the coke ovens of Pennsylvania to
give every road in the state a heavy
coat of tar once in two years, and 1t is

Models to Show Savings.
Aside from the gas and tar there is a
pint of creosote in every 200 pounds OF
coal This is valuable as wood pre-
servative. Then there is an asphaltum
base and from the coal tar are secured
many chemicals. practically all the pho
tographic chemicals used in the country.
In the countries Of Europe there is. as
rule, law against the use OF the bee
hive coke oven, but most of the big coal
companies of this country are putting In
the retort ovens for the sake of profit.
The model of the working colliery shows
all these savings based on the amount
recovered from a 2OO-pound lump of coal.
Where the amount saved on this basis
is too small to be shown it is multiplied
by ten or twenty and the saving in dol
