The oysters are cooked in butter just

is the best way to make oyster stew.
There is a difference Of opinion in
regard to the best way to prepare
fried oysters, which are next on Our

but they must be fried in deep, very
hot fat. A wire frying basket is a
convenience for use in their cooking.
After they are light brown, they should

Age Of Masses.

It Is said that we live In an indus
trial age, an age of machinery, and we
try to say that civilization is made out
of machines.
There never was anything but an in
dustrial age or mechanical age, SO far
as these words describe civilization. The
first man was an industrialist, and he
employed some sort of machine, even
though it was a stone hammer.
Modern industry and machinery have
paved the way for something else. And
that something else i$ the real some
thing that makes civilization what it is
today.
As you go about today the most OBJ
vious Of all facts are the facts that
masses of people are continually COM
ing and going. The number of people
passing a given street corner in an hour
determines the value Of that corner and
to some extent the sort Of business that
will be established at that point

 Buying in the oils was restricted by heaviness in other sections of the list but Royal Dutch was able to hold It's early gain or more than a point. Consolidated oil, Stand ard Oils of New Jersey and Cali fornia and Seaboard Oil and Gas were able to maintain small gains.
