HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
WEEKLY LETTER TO PRESS
Oysters Are Off the Menu and
Replaced by Grabs

Applying the remarks of the fam
Gus Finnegan to seafood products,
oysters are off the menu and crabs
are ION agin". Oysters went into
retreat officially when the Rs dropped
out of the months and just as they
made their exit, crabs came in and
took the center of the gastronomlc
stage. Judging from the early catch
the season promises to be a good one
and lovers of the luscious crab meat
can enjoy it to the limit of their
pocketbooks and their appetites, serv-
ed as they like it, at home or else
where, hot and savory, steamed or III
soup; cool and refreshing in salad;
brown, crusty and deliciously season
ed in cakes, or back in the shells in
imperial style, or just plain deviled.
Because Maryland is the center
of the crab industry, responsibility
for the sanitary supervision of the
conditions under which handling and
shipments of the appetizing delicacy
are carried on, rests upon the Bureau
of Food and Drugs of the State De-
partment of Health.
The State Board of Health rules
and regulations governing the opera
ton of crab-packing and distributing
houses, require the work to be carried
on in rooms or buildings of suitable
construction and equipment, and the

Landlubbers Who Tell
Sea Stories Criticized

Nautical language is so frequently
mishanded by the landsman author
that sailor cannot read his books
without feeling Of nausea. Conrad,
in "The Mirror of the Sea-" takes
this very natural ignorance so much
to heart that he passes caustic COM
ment upon those people who commit
the lubberly crime Of saying "cast
the anchor" Nor is he without justi-
flcation. An anchor is a tolerably
hefty trinket, and 1t would require a
quite mythical power of muscle to
lift, say, ships bower anchor and
"cast" 1t overheard. You may cast
a boat adrift, or you may, in fact,
cast adrift anything that is dashed; ;
but the phrase must remain intact
The anchor is "let go" when, shackled
to Its chain, 1t is allowed to drop to
the bottom Of the harbor. On the
other hand, when the process is re-
versed and the anchor is raised from
the bottom and brought up to the
bows Of ship, 1t is weighed. You
do not heave or lift or raise, you
weigh anchor.-From "Sea-Lore," by
Stanley Rogers.

Temper Shortens When
Age of 40 Is Reached

Are you approaching forty? Beware!
Between the ages of forty and sixty
ones "pet peeves" are "at peak" Sa-
wants Of the International congress Of
psychology announce that the child,
and the young man and woman, are
fairly broad-minded about annoyances.
Having survived such trivialities until
forty, one is inclined to let go, and it
is from that time until one is sixty
that you should guard against becom-
ing slave to your dislikes.
A better plan would be to remove
ones self from the scenes of tempta-
TIN. If one dislikes mosquitoes, he
should try to find place where there
aren't any. If a man, and it inks you
to dance with stout ladies, crash the
high school dances and sub-deb parties.
If. now in the thirties, you develop
murderous tendencies when the saxo-
phone player next door tunes up, move
away before forty, unless you wish to
give your murder complex play. This
may be bad psychology, but it's good
advice.

When Sails Beat Steam

When the steamer Enterprise, COM
manded by Capt. James Henry john
ston, English pioneer navigator,
reached the Cape of Good Hope on
October 10, 1926, 1t is recorded that
"a great crowd gathered on the fore
shore to admire the wondrous object
that could move at will without regard
to the direction of the wind and 10
the accompaniment, it must be said,
of mighty putting and volume of
smoke"
The Enterprise, which had left Fal-
mouth, England, on August 16 for Cal
cutta took so long (113 days) to reach
her destination that every one, in
Guiding her captain, was disappointed,
for under favorable conditions the
great sailing ships, at less expense,
could make the voyage to Calcutta in
90 days

Humble Cow Looked On
as Evidence of Wealth

In the early centuries the COW was
looked upon as a source of wealth as
well as food. One of the first words
for money was 'pecunia," from the
Greek word "pecus," meaning cattle
or herd, and the first coins made in
Greece and Rome were stamped with
the cows head. t..
Another interesting connection be-
tween cattle and gold is found in tho
story of the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. People came overland by pack
train, around the isthmus of Panama,
and in sailing vessels around the Horn.
More people meant more cows and to
meet the growing demand, large num-
bers Of cows were brought from Ken
lucky and England. In the early min
ing days these sold for $500 to $500
a head-so a COW was almost as good
as gold mine.-Kansas City Times.
