Every Part of Rich Mussel is Utilized.

In 1890 not single freshwater pearl
! button was made in the United States.
| All of the material used in the manu-
| factuge OF such buttons was of marine
origin, and mainly derived from the
pearl oyster. Five years later the
/ 'pearly mussel," of our rivers and lakes
vas furnishing the bulk of the mother
/ d pearl required, and in 1914 its shells
yielded Si,s7a,S44 worth OF buttons.
Nothing could really take the place
] Of pearl buttons. They do not easily
break and they will not tarnish. Big
and fine ones, such as adOrn women's
coats and suits, are dyed in many
bright colors-red. green. blue, etc. The
so-called smokes" pearl buttons are
stained with sulphur and silver nj

Other things made from the same
pcarIv shells are watch charms, buck

the mussels, they are dried and ground
for chicken feed.

the matter. In England opinion has
been sharply divided on the question
of ConstantinopIe, and Of late the view
that it might be as well to leave it in
at least the nominal possession Of Tur.
key has been gaining ground.
The British empire is by far the
! greatest Mohammcdan power in tho
world, and its recent troubles in India,
/ Egypt, and elsewhere have been
ascribcd in part to the resentment by
the people Of the harsh treatment Of
Turkey by the allies. It is felt, there
fore, that it may be unwise to press
the sultan too hard, and that if ade-
quate guarantees for the freedom of
the straits can be assured it may be
more satisfactory to leave the Turk at
Constantinople than to attempt any Of
the alternative plans, none of them
wholly satisfactory, which have been
proposed. 1t is significant that when
the victorious Balkan armies were. at
the gates of the Turkish capital in
1912, each of the claimants to Constan-
tinople showed a preference to letting
Turkey stay there rather than seeing
it turned over to rival. Long pos
session gives a certain historical claim,
and it may be that to leave Turkey
where it is would be best for the peace
of the world.
If Russia had not undergone revolu-
ton and had continued in the war to
the end, its claim to Constantinople
would have been unquestionable under
the secret treaties, In the retrospect
the allies may feel that the reign of
King Log would have been more obiec-
tionabe than the reign of King Stork.
With the colossus of the north holding
both the Caucasus and the Dardanelles
and converting the Black sea into
Russian lake, the balance of power
would have been very radically altered
to the disadvantage of western Europe
and of the British empire.
So many of the proposed and long
arrangements of the ma
of the old world have on trial proved
that it may be that the
famous bag and baggage" policy Of
Gladstone is viewed with less favor a
the time for applying it draws near.
In any case that policy would not be
violated by the sultan's nom
NAL retention of Constantinople under
which would make his po-
sition there chiefly of sentimental i'm
oortance-sshsmed as Christendom
might be of such a settlement.-Spring.

/ is explained in sufficient detail, so that
that they and the state board are
working upon a cooperative basis, each
being in the confidence of the other.
! 1t is true that in some instances it
I has been necessary to pare down the
I budgets submitted, but it may be said
also that as rule the statements filed
| by the local school boards have been
eminently fair. However, nothing is left
in the dark at this point The state
board explains to the school officials
fully the basis upon which it approves
the district budgets. This is a general
ruling, applicable to all. With it, there
is complete analysis for each town of
the state aid apportionment, SO that
the officials of each school district may
understand fully just how their appor-
tionment of state aid has been ar
rived at.
With this first distribution of state
money among the towns, which brings
the total of state aid for the year up
to $336,000, the first phase of the edu
cational reorganization of New Hamp-
shire may be regarded as being pretty
fully developed. The general principle
of the whole state working co-opera
lively TO the single end of equal edu
cational opportunity for all the chill.
dren is fully operative. The full work
ing out of our great plan is matter
of years, not months, but in the first
of these years the bold outlines of the
plan are becoming clearly defined in
actual practice. One hundred and six
