Sometime ago young woman who

Rinus on the oyster.

A popular theory about rings on an
oyster shell being an indication of fits
age is not supported by the careful
investigation of Miss Ann l.. Massey.
who tested specimens from the oyster
station at Ardfry, at the head OF Gal
way bay.
It has been supposed by many that
each ring, or group, on the oysters
deep valve stood for years growth.
but Miss Massey says that this deduc-
ton is not reliable. After patient
scrutiny of over six hundred samples
OF various ages, from eighteen months
to six years, she says: AN oyster OF
eighteen months or two summers APP
pears to possess at least two rings, but
may have as many as five
"One of three summers has at least
two rings and may have six. A four
year-old oyster may have only three
rings or may possess seven or eight"

Throughout the various departments
of the Birmingham (Ala.) industrial
high school practical spirit is con-
stantly seen. In the sewing room
girls are taught to sew all of the ordi-
