A fat friend Of ours by the name
OF Don Marquis. who lives in Port
Washington,' coaxed q friend Of his to
send us half bushel OF soft clans
Not being an expert clammist. We took
one guess and chose hard CLAIMS. The
man who had brought the CLANS told
us all we had to do was open the
clans and cook them.
That's all we had to do-open them.
We spent the better part Of one aft
ernoon and broke five knives and D
chisel without opening O clam. Those
clans were as reticent as Colonel
House and refused to be interviewed.
Finally we took the CLAIMS out in the
back yard, got q chopping block and
an axe and got right down to busi-
ness. We placed the first slippery
clam on the block, raised the axe and
let 60. Said clam left the vicinity
like a, meteor and crashed through the
bathroom window OF Chester Beecroft's
house. Chester was taking a bath at
the time and the clam connected with
his right eye. We apologized and
started on another clam.
| Clam No. 2 sailed over our own
house and hit an automobile wind
shield a block away. but the satisfied
owner of the car didn't know where
the clam came from and we started on
the third. This one hit q carpenter
who was making some repairs on a
roof back of us, and he was removed
to the hospital In a dazed condition.
No. hit Richard Outcault, who was
out raking leaves. and then somebody
called the police We retired to the
cellar with the CLAIMS.
/ In the dead of night we took them
out and buried them behind the barn.
An expert clammist has told us since
that the way to open a hard clam ID
to tickle him with a feather. and then,
when he opens his mouth. stick an
iron wedge into it. It's all In knowing
how.

CAPITOL CHATTER
BY United Press.

Washington. Feb 19.-Vice- Presi-
dent Marshall gets rather tired,
sometimes, OF the interminable chat
ter in the senate that leads nowhere
Ever so often the senate will start
off at tangent get completely away
from its order of business, and spend
hours just talking, like a crowd of
village wiseacres around the stove

sort of thing it is that led Marshall
TO say recently that he is fed up"
on the senate.
The other day, after one of these
oratorical excursions into realms far
afield from the business of the day.
some senator who wanted to get
back asked Marshall what the order
Of business was.

OWENS ADVISES

Points Out Fight to Eliminate Bo-
vine tuberculosis; Says IL Per
cent Of Affected People Trace
able to Milk.

As a warning against tuberculosis
that may be contracted by humans
through the agency Of infected milk
and as a plea for greater cleanliness
in handling dairy products, j. w.
Owens, county agent made the fol-
lowing statement this morning, after
pointing out that II percent of tuber-
culosis cases among people of Amer
lea can be traced to infection from
tubercular cattle:
Effort is. being put forth through
out the United States to eradicate
bovine tuberculosis 1t is meeting
with some opposition bu on the whole
it is being accepted by the leading
breeders. The plan which esab-
fishes accredited herds, that, is herds
free from tuberculosis, means that at
some future time there will be no
such disease as bovine tuberculosis.
1t will take a systematic plan, fol
lowed up from farm 20 farm from
dairy to dairy to stamp out this
great sources of the most dreaded
disease known to the human family,
and we here at home have as much
to do in making it a success, as any
people in the nation
Our health officers especially
should emphasize the Importance of
this plan and do whatever is neces-
sayr to further it at home. There
ought to be no unclean milk osld.
There ought not to be a single COW
in this county furnishing milk for
human consumption not thoroughly
tested for tuberculosis. 1t makes no
difference whether the milk is sold
or used at home, if the COW is in
fected it is a dangerous proposition
to the welfare of the whole people
and should not be allowed.
Again, summer is coming soon
and other diseases, especially typhoid
fever, find their way from dairy
products to those who buy the same
and we should begin now to Sc to it
that eery dairy is inspected and
placed in a good condition before
hot weather Flies shuold be abso-
lutely screened away from the dairy
barn and milk house, and unless they
are, here is where the dreaded ty-
phoid gets its start
Lets all cooperate in this work
and make an effort to clean up our
dairies and breeding herds and do a
wonderful service for ourselves and
fellowmen"

THE FALL SKIRT

THE fall skirt is neat garment
i which looks a good deal like the
spring skirt, but costs more, owing to
the European war, which has caused a
great scarcity of everything except
campaign bunk.
The fall skirt was gotten up last
February in the heart of Paris,
France, and sent over here to be sold
to women who do not care to look like
any of their neighbors. To, the dull
and unpracticed eye of man it is hard
to tell new fall skirt of the 1917 mod
ell from the one his wife wore twice
in the early spring and discarded aft
er making the horrifying discovery
that it was three-quarters of an inch
too long to be strictly au fait. There
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-09-08

is nothing more depressing than a
new skirt which is only IS per cent
au fait and folds carelessly about both
ankles, instead Of fitting back rakish-
ly and binding the ihnocent bystand-
er in both eyes.
Great care has bsen taken, accord
ing to the fashion periodicals, to make
the fall skirt so long that it can be
worn toehurch with perfect propriety.
By actual measurement 1t will reach
to the top of a l.. inch boot, which
will prevent anybody from tripping on
it. In fact, it is estimated that 1t Is
going to be harder to- trip over one OF
the new fall skirts than it is to es-
cape the strident voice of the cafe pi-
ano player.
The fall skirt will be made Of any
thing that costs more than it did last
winter, but will not be guaranteed
against defects of workmanship or
material. Stripes will be worn great
deal by women who would look better
In some solid, neutral tint like black
taffeta. The nervous, high-voiced
Scotch plaid will also be favored by
wives whose husbands have learned
to suffer in silence.
Owing to the increasing hardihood
of the American woman, the fall skirt
will have the same kind Of lining as
the silk Stocking, but the latter will
contain a trifle more material.
