1.-The day that the administration
pens it's Warren G.. Harding to the
declaration of American ship indie
pendence, otherwise known as the
ship subsidy bill, will be the day on
which the capstone of Republican
achievement is hoisted into place and
the edifice is fully completed" says
the Republican Publicity association,
thru its president, Jonathan Bourne
Jr. 1t is well that the edifice will be
completed for it probably will be some
time before the party will have an
other chance to work on it. It seems
impossible that amy party can stand
up under the Fordney-McCumbe
tariff law and a ship subsidy at the
same time. Either one is enough to

watched the men go by.
But in the multitudes Of smile a lonely

A lonely and a weary man who WATCHED

And hungered for the little street where

MOVEMENTS OF SHELL-FISH
Most BiVaIVes Have a Form of Loco motion, Though Without Wings,
 Fins or Feet.

Sea-shells cannot move about, of course, unless the shell-fsh are Ill., side. The shells found on the beach are merely the empty "halves" of their old homes, but even if you place two of the ''halves" together and imagine the fish inside, it is difficult to see how the occupants were ever able to move from one spot to another. They have neither wings, fins, nor-in the ordinary sense feet.
 Bivalves are, for the most part, burrowers. They have 6 strong "foot" by means of which they can excavate passages for themselves through sand, mud, and even wood and rock. The Saddle oyster (not the edible oyster), possesses a hole in the under shell. It sticks its muscular ''foot'' through this hole when it wants to stick to a rock.
 The common mussel, once it has found its home, never troubles to move again. It spins a bundle of threads, called "byssus," and binds itself firmly for evermore to the spot it has made its own.
