Now Oysters Enter
H.C. oil. Tournament

Bivalve, N. UP goes the price
of the delectable oyster on Septem-
Der l. An increase of 20 to so per
cent. in the cost for the coming sea-
son is announced by the oyster plant
ers of New Jersey and other eastern
coast resorts. This. on top of the
boost last year, when the demand
for oysters as cheap substitute for
meat exhausted the supply.
Food Administrator Hoover is in
formed that small oysters for stew
ing will sell soon at anywhere from
65 cents to s1.25 a hundred. But
what will Il stew cost with prices
of milk, butter and crackers all up ?
Eggs and lard are dear too. So an
oyster fry will cost more.
But oyster planters and dealers
say that even at the higher price
oysters will still be the cheapest food,
and there will be plenty of them.

WOMEN SMOKERS IN WALES

A woman was seen smoking a pipe

course, this is NOT quite a new thing.
Some old ladies, especially of Irish

pipes are not permitted has been
quietly rescinded in favor of the

OYSTERS FORCED TO WORK
Japanese Scientist conceIves Idea OF
Teaching" 6ivalves 10 Pro-
duce PEARL

The japanese conducr great oyster
farms whore the blvalves are taught
10 make pearls. II was Doctor Mkt.
noto, well-known scientist. who
conceived the idea that oysters might
be educated and made 10 work for man.
After many years Of costly expert.
mentation he discovered the method I'm
use today.
The farm has an area Of about 80
square miles and the water varies I'm
depth from 10 10 fathoms. The farm
er selects the spots where the larvae
OF oysters are most numerous and then
he plants small rocks and stones.
These are soon covered with oyster
spat. They are then removed and
placed In special beds. where they lie
undisturbed until the third year.
II is said that an oyster will not pro-
duce a pearl unless IL be irritated by
some foreign substance. AS soon as IL
feels this IL proceeds TO csver il with
nacre, layer on layer, until after a few
years IL has made a pearl. When large
enough the oysters are taken from
their beds and carefully opened tiny
speck OF some foreign substance is in
troduced into their bodies, and they
are replaced In the sea. BY the end OF
from three 10 five years the oyster has
coated the foreign substance with
nacre and this has become a pearl.
