riddle to the uninitiated. 1t means

In this day and age we think less
OF the seasonability of foods than did
| our grandmothers. Fruits and vege-
tables are shipped from the south to
the northern markets the whole year
through, making 1t possible to eat
June peas in January and September
caulif1ower in May.
But oysters simply are 'In" from
September to April and "out" from
May to August. This season has
grown even shorter the last few years
due to the fact that the oyster beds
are being contaminated in many
places.
Oysters are higher and scarcer be-
cause the supply must come from, pure
ocean water. These beds are now
found only IN outlying districts far
from manufacturing zones. The re-
mote areas are naturally small and
the cost Of production and marketing
Is greater than In the great beds in
the bays and river of the coast.
The food value OF oysters is high.
They are easily digested and very
nutritious.
During the season there Is no better
first course for formal dinner than
raw oysters, served on the half-sheIl,
with lemon juice or with q cocktail

Love and PredeStination

Dear Miss Lee: / am sending my opinion
of love. 1 do not think any girl fall
In love with husband who has been picked
out for her. unless she loved him before
marriage. l think that when COD creates
one person He also creates mate, and that
they will meet some time in life
One thing that causes a lot of divorces
Is that one or both of the persons involved
married too young, or before they had met
their real mates. Love is not determined
by ourselves. 1t Is predestined.
No one can keep from falling In love or
staying in love no matter what any one
says or does to prevent it. Love finds a
way. There lie no life without love.

France REEVES
Ancient Code

Paris, Aug Paris has taken one
more step back to pre-war conditions
by reviving duelling. Two barrist-
ers who insisted on settling a per-
sonal difference with duelling swords
revived a procedure which, since the
war, has appeared ridiculous even in
the eyes Of the French, who still
maintain that there are some dis
putes that can only be decided con
the field of honor"
General opinion, however, is still
against duelling for anything short
of the gravest reasons, and one writ
err regretting it's revival has suggest
ed that new article in the duclling
code should prescribe that encounters
can only take place in the devastated
regions, close to battlefield or in a
military cemetery. "Few are the ad-
versaries," he says, "who facing the
wooden crosses of so many French
men, killed in the most formidable
duel in history, will not find their
own quarrel ludicrous and fall in
each others arms"

Chicago. Aug. lowing to the
fact that the government crop report
was due after the close, wheat trad
ers today restricted their trading
largely to evening up of open ae-
counts and there was no decided
change in price during the early
dealings. Bears pointed out that
stocks of wheat were likely to con-
tinue piling up for some weeks and
that export demand was slow. On
the other hand bulls contended that
before another crop all the wheat in
the United States would be needed
for domestic consumers. The open

valley, but reported he had learned
absolutely nothing of the lost race

in 1918, are pronounced to be among

and other household articles found
by DR.. Fewkes. The representations
of life are full of action, and it is
difficult for scientists to understand
how the ancient inhabitants of the
valley were able to achieve the ac-
curacy and perfection Of the involved
designs without the aid Of mechanical
devices.
The pottery has been found for the
most part under the floors of the
ruins of ancient buildings, and COM
mercial exploitation of the material
has become so widespread that the
valley ruins are being rapidly de-
molished and the instructive archeol-
ogical objects lost to science. One
reason for DR.. Fewkes' visit was to
make a collection for the National
Museum before the supply was ex-
haused.
