oysters do not contain pearls but
their shells are valuable, for the in

How do the men get the oysters
out of the water?" Jamie asked
The best pearls usually grow IN
warm water, SO Of course that means
that they lie around tropical countries,
and the dark skinned natives dive for
the oysters from boats.
Each diver has a basket and a
knife with which he cuts the oyster
from It's rock and puts it in the has-
ket,t He stays down 40 long IS he

man in the boat and is hauled up"

you see the pearls in mothers neck

things before they were strung and

DO we have any pearls in this
country" Jamie asked.
Yes, we have the abalone pearls
that are found in California. Aba
lones have only one she'll. They at
tach themselves to the rocks along the
shore at certain times OF the year,
and have to be cut of with a sharp
knife. Then some pearls are taken
from mussels. animals something like
oysters only they live in rivers instead
OF in the sea. Lots Of mussels are
found in the Mississippi river and their
shells are used to make cheap buttons.
But most Of the finest pearls come
from the tropical countries. such as
Africa. Arabia, Japan and the South
Sea Islands.
There are lots more interesting
things to tell about pearls, but here

FIRST SHIPMENT
 OF DYES HERE
Consignment Was Licensed by U. S.-Statement Made
 No Shortage of the Dyes

New York, Nov. 1o.-what Is de- clared to be the first consignment of aniline dyes from Germany have been received in New York. The Nieuw Amsterdam, of the Holland American line, brought in it's cargo, 165 barrels of German aniline dyes. It was said that the last shipment of dyes came into New York in April, 1917, just before the declaration of war.
 The dyes are consigned to New York Color and Chemical Company 9s John street, Manhattan. At the offices of this company it was ex- plained that the dyes would not be offered to undersel1 the American dye products.
 There is q great shortage in cer- tain dyes" commented one official at the company's offices yesterday. That is why these barrels are com ing to use They will be sold at practically the same rates that pre- vail in the American market. As for any possibility of their affecting the market, you may say the shipment is

HITCH COOLIDGE
 TO LOWDEN BOOM
National Chairman Hays Urges Republicans to Turn
 to Domestic Issues

Springfield, H., Nov 40.-For President. Governor Frank o. Low den of Illinois.
 For Vice President, Governor Cal vim Coolidge of Massachusetts.
 This Republican national! ticket was indorsed tonight by Illinois Re- publicans of all stripes, colors, fa,c- tions when the Lowden boom was off, ficialiy launched, with Governor Lowden as the guest of the Repub- ican editors of the State. Sitting next to Governor Lowden aI the speakers s table. Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee pre- dicted certain victory in 1920, passing his prophecy on last Tuesdays re- suits.
 Governor Lowden had discussed with the editors the need of harmon tous action. State leaders, including former Governor Deenen, Attorney General Brundage, Congressman Me- kinley, Lieutenant Governor Og1es- by, and Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, rep resenting the organized Republican women, had spoken. Teiegra1ns had been read from Senators Sherman and Mccormick, detained at Wash ington; Uncle Joe'' Cannon. and State Chairman Frank L. Smith.
 Then Congressman William A. Ro- denbCrg brought the Illinois Repub- Gcans to their feet with a message straight from the centre of political affairs at Washington, the suggestion for the Low den-Coolidge ticket. A seVen- minute demonstration followed end Governor Lowe den's candidacy for the Presidency was formally an-
 ,unced.
 The expressed sentiment for Gov ernor Coolidge in recognition of the victory he won in Massachusetts, was unquestionably favorable.
 The statement should be eaaphastz- d that National Chairman Hays was no party to the climax of the gath ering. He had come to Springfield as thg euHst of the Republican Editorial .\ssoei. ion to speak on Republican Party affairs.
 Governor Lowden in his brief speech said nothing that could be construed as an announcement of candidacy frofa I personal stand point. T31a intention was to do moth ing that would place the National Chairman in an embarrassing posi- ton at this stage of the Presidential campaign.
 Senator sherman ended long tel egram to the editors by saying: MT. Lowden's prospects for the nomination for President are inn proving daily. If his friends hold to their course steadily, he will be nonl- fnated."
 Uncle Joe" Cannon wired:
 T hope your meeting will sound a note of courage in facing the situa- ion that will not be misunderstood by any one. The United States, hay ing brought to a glorious end the great worlds war by the valor of her soldiers. cannot face civil war at home with less courage afd common seft than our soldiers faced the German armies in France"
