ENGLISH DON'T KNOW
GOOD OYSTERS AND
THEY ARE VERY HIGH
Hence Rich Alone Nav Eat
Bivalves AT About
$1.25 Per
BY MILTON BRoNNER
NEA Service W..ter

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The coming
of the "R' months. with the conse
ouent temperance on The markets
of oysters, has served to remind
Britons that that famous low cost
OF living in England, as compared
with America, is thing of the past.
Indeed, if oysters were taken for
q standard Of comparison the Hritcn
could move to the United States
and save money.
The average oyster. concerning
whose qualities the BritIon raves,
would not excite an American at all.
Whether they be labeled Colches-
tiers or Whitstables or what not,
they all alike have the coppery taste
that is so displeasing to the Amer
lean spoiled by the delicious sea
sweetness of the blue point.
And the prices! For just ordinary
oysters on the half shell eaten at an
ordinary oyster bar, the sting is
from three shillings and six pence
to five shillings and SIX pence per
dozen.
In other words, anywhere from
80 cents to dollar and a quarter.
And when the oyster-hdngry Briton
asks why this thusness, he is care
fully told that some sort of disease,
or parasite destroyed any oyster
beds and that the cost of labor has
done the rest.
Hence the rich alone eat the bi-
valves over here.
The French take the snail very
seriously.
They have cultivated him 20
point where they consider him
great delicacy.
So jealous were they of their sup
ply of edible snails tillt they put
on an export duty of 10 Ter cent tc
keep him from crawling out of the
country and landing in somebody
else's dinner plate.
However, recently the powers
that became to the. conclusion that
the snail farming business had pro
crossed to such an extent that
France could share her good tEing
with other people who were pining
for snails.
Hence the export duty was taken
off. And solemn decree to that
effect was published in the official
journal of France.
1t was signed by the president cf
the republic, by the prime minister
and by the ministers Of agriculture.
commerce and finance, all of whcn
have something to do with the we'll
being of his snailship.
