PURPLE DYE FROM SHELLFISH
Possibility That New Industry May Be
Developed, Since the Supply Is
lnexhaustible.

On the Pacific coast of Costa RIGA.
especially in the region about Cocos
bay, there abounds kind of shellfsh
called the ''nacascoI," from which a
fine purple color is obtained. So far
no way has been found for preserving
this dye. and the industry has remain
ed in the hands of the few old people
who take the trouble to dye a few
ounces of thread every summer. The
process is very simple. On picking up
the she'll from the beach or detaching
1t from bowlder, the gatherer blows
her breath into it, whereupon a few
drops of a greenish liquor ooze out.
This liquor is collected in a clamshell
and after sufficient quantity has
been collected the thread is passed
through it, soon after assuming, on ex-
posture to the sunlight, beautiful
purple color, which is absolutely fast
after 1T has turned purple. 1t Is
thought possible that the dye turns
fast only on exposure to the air and
that the liquor could be preserved by
keeping the air from it. There is
little doubt that this industry of dye
ing thread could be extended to
greater proportions if an extensive de-
mand at good prices could be found
for the dyestuff.

General Woods First Battle.

When Geronimo, the last Of the
great Apache chieftains, began MUIR
derinp American women and most
hideously torturing American children
in New Mexico and Arizona, Leonard
Wood. then an army. surgeon, exchang-
ing his surgeons scalpel for rifle,
became one Of a famous little COM
nany which chased the monster over
the sandy and burning plains of the
Southwest and northern Mexico, and
did not eeSist until the enemy surren-
dered. TIE reports of Generals Law
ton and Niles witness to the healthy
minde'l zeal which Wood manifested
toward the harharians who wreaked
their SHva~ery on American women
and children; and the fact that Wood
received that greatest of all military
distinctions for his efficient bravery
in this campaign-the medal of con-
gress--is testimony of the same kind.

come ahead in time to receive
the instructions offered at the
short course.
A carefully arranged schedule
OF classroom and laboratory
work on agricultural subjects
has been PREPARED which will
prove beneficial to those FORUM
ate enough to attend. In plan
ming the short course the recre-

A special feature of entertain
ment this year will be the use
of the community swimming
pool and all club children are
urged to bring their swimming
suits. The girls will swim in the
early morning, while the boys
will have the use of the pool in
the evening.
The expenses of the club men,
bers attending the short course
are paid by the local banks, school
boards, railway companies, bust
ness men, and in a number of
cases by the individuals them
selves. The students are quar-
tered in the University dormi-
tories, for which no charge is
made. They get their meals at
the University cafeteria at very
reasonable rates.
