the new animated hemline that is
attracting considerable attention in
the new collections.

That right each must protect

Clam.


REAT mounds Of clam shells
bear witness to the fact that
Y the Indians well knew the
~ food value Of the clam. They
were evidently very success
full clam diggers, II the size Of the
piles Of bleached shells were to be
taken as evidence. The white settlers
not only found the discarded imple-
ments in some Of the mounds, but
the shells of many other mollusks.
Later. interested naturalists found
the bones Of great aux. now extinct.
in one of them.
Along the shores Of almost every
bay and promotory Of the New Eng
land Coast, you may see some of these
mounds today. CLANS are found In
all the Northern seas of the world.
Mud fats, sandy shores and places
where the water is very shallow at
low-tide, a few inches below the sur
fact will be teeming with clans. To
go claiming is great sport and little
equipment is required-basket, tongs,
and. if large catch is desired, fiat
bottomed boat to hold the clans.
A clam at an early age begins its
downward trek in the sand. An old
fellow, removed from his home some
IL inches from the surface, will find
it almost impossible to dig his way
back and construct a roomy burrow.
CLANS may be divided into three
types, although they all belong to one
species. These are the thick-lipped,
the intermediate ones and the thin
Tipped. The first are also known by
the name of "bull-nose"
All shells are strong The cartilage
of the hinges is on the inside, and
fits into an unusual process of the
left valve. The foot is small. and the
mantle margins have a noticeable
pedal-gap. No matter how tight the
shells are closed, there is still a gap
at one end, If not at both. The
siphons are extensible and united

FATHER INSISTS
'"TORCH GIRL"
NASSLA|N

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 81
U.N.SJ.-Charging Sacramento
officers with withdrawing pre-
maturely from the case on a
suicide theory, State Treasurer
Charles G. Johnson, a candidate
for governor, today spurred a
private investigation under the
direction Of E. o. Heinrich,
Berkeley criminologiSt, to prove
that his 22-year.old daughter,
Virginia, was the victim Of a
fiend and did not commit suicide
by burning herself. Mr.. johnson
declared:
1--WE will show q murder
motive, rather than suicide"
MOTHER HYSTERICAL
While Mr.. Heinrich, surrounded
by Sacramento officials in the
office of District Attorney Neil
McAllister, discussed the case
and reviewed the girls diary of
happiness and deluSion, private
funeral services were conducted.
Mrs. johnson, the mother,
broke down with grief at the
funeral. The hysterical mother
screamed:
virginia can you hear me
are you happy-I want my
baby"
A deep silence pervaded the
funeral chapel Of a mortuary as
the grief stricken mother paused,
then resumed with another tear
full plea:
II can't hear you, Virginia
II ! could only hear her."
Mrs. johnson finally was
ealmed by her husband who re-
quested the singing Of four lines
from the song Home on the
Range" which his beautiful
daughter had sung for him every
night at home.
Father Is Insistent
Despite suicide note and
autopsy report showing she had
not been struck or attacked, and
also the statements Of the
mother and a sister that the girl
had suffered mentally for several
weeks, Mr.. johnson insisted anew
his daughter had been murdered.
Mr.. Heinrich evidenced much
interest in the remark Il hear
noise of angels wings flapping in
my head" Miss johnson made to
her sister two hours before the
charred body was found beside
a half-filled gallon jug Of kero-
Sene and burned matches in a
vacant garage three blocks from
