ceipts, but during that time a delin-
quent penalty of 25 cents will be ad-
ded. After the first Monday in July
it will be too late to obtain poll tax
receipt with which women will be al
lowed to vote in the primary cleo
tions next spring.
The six women who have paid poll
taxes in this county are Mrs. Rosa L.

This fact, they declare. Is principally responsible for the unprecedented ac. tivity that has existed in American shipbuilding yards for the last two years and the contracts now held by the yards in this country that will de- mandtheir maximum capacity until the latter part of 1918.
 Before the war. officials say, the worlds normal visible commercial ship ping amounted to about 50.O00. ono tons. Of this approximately 12, O00.0o0 tons have been requisitioned by the governments of the various belligerent nations to serve their war needs, nearly 4,500,0O0 tons have been interned in nuetral countries. and over 5,000,000 tons have been destroyed, mainly by submarines and mines.

.PUR|F|CAT|ON Of OYSTERS POLLUTED BY SEWAGE CONMER-
 C|ALLY FEASIBLE

Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
 WASHINGTON.-That it Is com mel cially possible artidcally to purify polluted oysters Is the belief of oflic- Ials of the United States public health service who have been conducting an ln' estigation of the oyster industry.
 As much as 50 gallons of water passes through the gills of a single oyster in a day, the officials found, and food materials are passed through the crustacean's almentary canal Ia a very few hours. Working on these principles it was found that much polluted oyster, if placed in clean food d-bearing water at feeding temp eroture will in the course of two or three hours become purified.
 The government is continuing It's experiments to test out the prac.ic- ability of artihcally purifying oysters in water containing calcyium hypo- chlorte by means of which 1t Is hoped tc find a cheaper method of insuring the marketing of healthful oysters. Oy Ster harvesting concerns maintain thst the expense of placing oysters ia tte proper kind of water even for two hours. Is too great if the sea-food is to be sold at the prices that now me intain. Oysters grow best In bays In which rivers and city sewers empty.
