through what in old times would have
heen considered very severe strain.
Yet there was no increase of borrow
inss at the Federal reserve and no rise
in either call or time money rates.
The business situation has remained
the same all through the changes of
the last three months in Wall street.
Mercantile reviews have been little
more favorable and so have other
trade reports like steel. But the posi-.
tion is no different from what 1t was
known to be last Summer. namely.
that the general distributive trade OF
the country was unusually active, that
railroad traffic was breaking records.
that the big retail enterprises were
making more money than they ever
had, vet where there was question
in certain lines of the adequacy Of

which was reached in March. 1924.
Thereafter some recovery occurred
partly because the political situation
seemed to be pointing less toward the
radical side and partly because Of the
natural profit taking which goes on in
any speculative market where a great
deal Of short selling has occurred
and where there has been considera.

Changes Not Significant.
The commodity markets have reached
the stage of the year where they have
become of comparatively little interest
from the standpoint of business situa.
ton in general. The grain crops have
been sold and so has the cotton crop.
The remaining supply, apart from seed.
ing purposes, is mostly in the hands OF
speculative interests. Consequently

BLUE SKY LAW
 RIPPED UP BY
 SUPREME COURT
INDIVIDUAL MAY DISPOSE OF SEE CURlTiES WITHOUT PERMlS-
 SION OF COMMISSIONER

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 "A decision sion of tremendous importance to oil and mining men of California has just been made by the Supreme Coourt in it's denial of a rehearing in the case oof the State vs. Pace in which the Court of Appeals declared unconsti- tutional that part of the state blue sky law denying the right of the in- dividual to dispose of securities with in the state without first obtaining the permission of the Corporation Commissioner.
 This means that one of the most drastic and unjust provisions of Cali fornia's paternal and destructive law has been swept away, leaving the we'll supported belief that other provisions which now initiate against develop ment of natural resources will also be declared unconstitutional when placed before properly constituted courts.
 Gerald Ryzek, of Mulligan & Ryzek, Los Angeles attorneys, who have giv- en much attention to the law, in dis cussing the courts decision, says in an article in the California Oil World, Tt means that the doors are open to permit the sale of an individuals se- curities without consulting the corpo- ration commissioner and avoids the long delays and expenses connected with permits. It should indicate that an individual is free to sell his oil we'll or mine to a corporation in an- other state and take stock in exchange therefor! that he can then come to California and sell his stock when and where he wishes, and for what ever price he wishes to ask, untram- meled by the Corporation Commis- sioner of the State of California"

BERLIN NEWS LETTER

BERLIN, Oct. 7. (P)-The Acerbites aroused by the celebrated Dayton, Tenn, Evolution Trial" appear to have been transferred to Germany where a debate on the Darwinian the ory has been raging among scientists. The trouble started when Professor Albert C.. F. Fleischmann, professor of embryology at the University of Erl- angen, Bavaria, and a noted writer on Darwinism, claimed recently in the Munich Neuesete Nachrichten that the Darwinian theory of the origin of the species has been contradicted by lat CT researches of science, and that but few scientists still accept it. This led 12 professors of palaeontology and zo- ology in the University of Munich to issue public statement declared that now as formerly, they regard the for mutation of the doctrine of the ori- gin of species as among the highest achievements of their respective sci ences. They expressed the opinion that this viewpoint is shared by al mos all representative of their branches of learning.

work and the retail trade Is very bad.
In certain sections Of the South crop
values are low compared with the av-
erage and cotton will be a disappoint-
ment.. There is also another agricul-
tural section which. when contrasted
with a year ago, may be due Tor
disappointment, namely. a strip start
ing in the north from Minnesota and
running down through the Dakotas.
Kansas, Nebraska and Texas. In GER
tain sections Of these States crop val
ues will be poor compared with last
year and retail trade will correspond
ingly suffer.
On the other hand, Tennessee, Mis-.
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkansas may
have one OF the finest crop situations
in their history; while the Pacific
northwest should prosper exceedingly.
Most of the Central West States
should do better than last year, and
the entire country show an improve
ment.
Plenty of Money Available.
Although money may be little
firmer during the next few months.
there should be sufficient funds for all
legitimate enterprises. This means
that there should still be a good mar
ket for bonds. Most stocks, however,
seem pretty high and l expect to see
lower prices. 1t Is also possible that
there may be more labor difficulties
during the next IL months. but this
cannot be foretold with certainty. We
hope, however. that both wage work
ers and employers will be wise enough
to see that a suspension of work is
detrimental to all concerned, and will
ultimately reduce the income of both.

that we are reaching a period where

happens, these violent fluctuations
will take place; but otherwise we
should keep more normal. There are
various reasons for this. The first Is
that the Federal Reserve Board has
the financial situation we'll in hand
and Its first job is to steady the boat
and not let it tip too much one side
or the other.
The second reason is that prosperity
areas are made up Of two factors,
namely, the product Of price and pro-
duction. Economists seem to have
agreed that during the next few years
as production increases the price will
decrease, and as the price increa ses
production will decrease, thus keeping
the product of price and production
fairly constant.

has become so popular with mer
chants. although dangerous. may also
tend to stabilize conditions. This Is

Although I do not approve OF the

this also may have the tendency Of

cd HEN the Pilgrim Fathers
WI landed at Plymouth, the In
W dams taught them to dig
clans in the sand flats, and many
times this lesson kept a Pilgrim
family from going hungry. To this
day CLAIMS can be gathered by the
bushel on the Plymouth flats, and
in fact along the entire Atlantic
coast. The "clam-bake" is one Of
the most popular forms of picnic in
the sea-coast towns of New England.
Seeking out some pleasant beach,
the members Of the party dig their
clans at low tide, and heat a circle
of flat rocks with a huge fire. When
this has burned down. the CLAIMS are
dumped on the sizzling rocks, corn
in the ear. dressed chicken wrapped
in cloths, Holsters and potatoes are
put on the heap; and the whole is
then piled high with damp seaweed
and covered with sand. In an hour
or two the food is done to a turn
the steam of the seaweed imparting
to everything a delicious flavor and
tenderness.
All members Of the clam group are
mollusks Of the bivalYe group; that
is, they have two shells connected by
muscular hinge. The common or
soft -shelled CLANS burrow in the
sand under water for several inches,
extending a curious siphon tube to
the surface of the soil. through
which they draw water and get the
tiny sea creatures on which they
feed. When alarmed, the clam will
draw in this-tube suddenly; when the
tide is out this causes a squirt Of
water, which gives away its hiding
place to the clam digger.
The burrowing apparatus Of the
clam, which It uses with great skill
and speed. especially when young
consists OF a sort Of foot" which
projects from the shell at the end
opposite tbs eiphon. The soft
shelled clam lass an enormous
amount OF eggs, which float about
in the sea until they hatch in a few
hours. Young CLAIMS swim near the
surface for a time, but after some
weeks take up life Npn the bottom.
After two months they start to bur
row to escape from the crabs, GELS
and starfish. which devour them in
great quantities. Besides being a
valuable article Of human food,
CLANS are used as bait, especially by
cod fishermen.
Another common variety of clam
on the Atlantic coast is called by
the Indian name quahaug. 1t Is
called alse round" or little neck"
clam and is valued even more high
ly as table delicacy. especially for
making clam chowder. These live
below the low water mark. and are
gathered with special dredges.
Closely related to the clam family
are the long dark-shelled sea mussels,
common on both sides of the At

water clans of American lakes and
rivers are members of the mussel
family They are found in the Miss
issippi and its tributaries and were
formerly eaten by the Indians. They
often contain pearls of great beauty
and recently great quantities of the
shells themselves have been used
for making mother-of.pearl buttons.
AS a result the middle west muscle

weigh 400 pounds or more, Their
meat is eaten by the natives, who
formerly also used their shells to
