Chemicals to Shuck Oysters ;
Soluing Serious Labor Problem
Bureau of Fisheries Biologists Discover
Method Eliminating Much of ST.
100000 annual Marketing Cost.

The oyster is going to shuck itself
from now on.
Bureau of Fisheries biologists an
nounce in their latest report of scien-
tific progress discovery Of way to
make the oysters shell open automat-
ically. The oyster is first hit lightly
with a hammer or dropped on the
floor 1t is then dropped In chemical
solution for from 10 to 80 minutes.
At the end of this time the shell will
open and it is only necessary to pluck
out the flesh of the bivalve. The dir
covery is expected to be of considerable
commercial Importance since approx
mately so per cent of all oysters are
now shucked before marketing. Approx
imately s1,5o0,ooo is expended annually,
it is estimated. for shucking approxi-
mately 100000 gallons Of oysters now

It has been known for some time that
immersion in a narcotic solution would

school support were presented to
the conference by Mr.. Dimmet of
the State Department of Educa-
ton, who declared that the state
school system is confronted by the
gravest emergency since the adop-
ton of the Barefoot school boyn
law in 1895. sProportionate reduc-
tions of the present state levy,
from 1925 mills to five, in ac-
cordance with the attorney gener-
ais recent opinion interpreting
the effects of the 40-mill limit
bill, entails a reduction Of more
than half Of the present state tax
revenues for schools, and SINH
lar reduction of support for the
higher institutions" states Mr..
Dimmet, land proportionate re-
auctions Of county levies to ten
mills will. on the average, cut the
county school funds also in half
the reductions in county support
ranging from nothing in some of
the counties to practically all of
the county's share Of school sup
port in other counties" Such loss
in these equalizing funds of the
state and counties will, he point
ed out, particularly effect dis
tricts of low valuation, which are
now greatly benefited by the equal
izing plan. Unless these losses are
made up from new sources by ac-
ton of the legislature, the only
recourse, M. Dimmst declared,
will be serious impairment or cur
tailment of the educational pro-
gram. Over one-fourth of the
schools of the state would be UNI
able to operate at all without leg
islative action.

provisions of which are:
/. Strict control of school ex-

each district will consist of five
elective officers, the county school
superintendent, county auditor,

As "double check" against any
possible extravaganza due to in

school budgets are limited for the
bienium of 1933-35 to the bud
get of 1931-1932.

PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP

Four weeks ago the country was III
the throes Of depression that was both
material and mental Hope was almost
extinct in the hearts of the American peo-
ple Just ahead of them the clouds of
disaster appeared on the horizon. All was
darkness and gloom. There was starving
in the midst of plenty.
The people could see no hope ahead.
A change of administration of the govern
ment was imminent, but what could be ex-
pected of the government when it had
done it's best and brought forth nothing
but failure. Panic was in the air. There
seemed nothing that could be done to
remedy what appeared to be an impos-
sible situation
Then came the Inauguration of new
president, the beginning of new adj
ministration. Almost as a part of the in
augural ceremonies came the news of the
collapse of our banking system.
Nothing but miracle, series of
miracles, could save the situation
But the miracles developed. Once
again leader appeared when the need of
his appearance was paramount Just as
in past CRITICAL stages of our history, when
leaders appeared as if by magic, so did the
required leaders appear in our time sof
greatest need.
LIN four short weeks the country has
seen the road to better things cleared by
efficiency in governmental circles. The
threatened banking panic, which would
have plunged the country into misery UNI
speakable, died in its tracks, destroyed by
vigorous action.
A law sixteen years old, which had
been available to his predecessor, was re-
surrected by President Roosevelt and used
to provide method of cure. The banking.
holiday was ordered-the needed lul in
the panic created. With time to think,
with time to listen and understand the
facts of the situation, the hysterical public
heard, listened and Gained.
An astopished congress could do no
less than follow such leadership and a
nation inspired with renewed hope de-
manded that the leadership be followed
With d strength of will-power and
decision hitherto unsupported, President
Roosevelt indicated step by step the
measures required to cure the current evils
and demanded their adoption.
