OnIy One Informal Touch

IT is probable that there will be some kidding of
L the Communists, because everything was done in
the grand manner The word seemed to have gone
out that it would be tails and tails it I felt
abaShed in a dinner coat until Smith Wildman
BrOokhart came in a business suit. And not new
one either. 1t was the one informal touch.
Having read of the good ship Kim and the
common meSSToOm for captain crew and passengers
I had thought in advance that perhaps after the
last hat checked the young would come up
to the ballroom for a couple of waltzes, but the
attendant who stood behind the creamed oysters
was the same who stands behind the creamed
oysters at Park avenue parties, and the waiter who
dispensed the Scotch seemed vaguely but distinctly
familiar I felt I had him some place
before. Perhaps it was on the fourth floor earlier
in the evening.
But it would be Wirtsh indeed for me to crltl-
else one of the best parties have ever attended,
and if there is anything comic about gliding the
hammer and the sickle the joke is on us and not
on the Russians. OF course, there is something
cockeyed in a community which turns out In the
morning to shudder at the redneSs of one-cocktal
family dinner in a farmhouse and then hurrleS
home to get into its best bib and tucker to drink
the SOyiets champagne.
Not forgetting the Soviet Scotch, the Soviet
cognac some sort of green liquor which mixed very
well with the wine, the Soviet punch and the rye
whisky You couldn't quite call that Soviet rye,
It was Old Overhot, which, I remember, still
belongs to Andy Mellon.

Cutie PeGrce Was There

and gets lost like a kid at the ZOO but General
johnson?
Finally though, he showed up at the hotel and
banded few words with the journalists scrubbed
up and came down to dinner with his party
The music was good and people were bouncing UP
from tables all around the room to engage in the
strange new Cuban ballroom struggle which looks
like rooster fight in barn yard. Mr. Cutie Pearce
an old-time horse person who rode a plug up the
hill at San Juan, all for dropping into a chair
at the old cavalry generals table and complaining
about the mount they gave him that day. Mr..
Pearce draws pension account of that speed.
1t gave him saddle bunions that bighted his life
Then suddenly Johnson and Richberg weren't at
their table any more. They were gone for half an
hour and they came back laughing though they
had soaped somebody's windows. Johnson and Rich
berg sat down and laughed some more and then it
developed that they had been off at a telephone in
some room and Richberg had been Jumping together
all the people who didn't agree with him and john
son in league of stuffed shirts.
Did you notice that he kept on repeating the

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN =

IF you have to work in a damp place look out for
colds, rheumatic disease, and changes in the skin
The human being is not adapted to living in ex
ceedingly damp areas Therefore, you should try to
avoid dampness by wearing waterproof clothing and
those who work in places where water abounds
should appropriate protective covering from
head to foot.
Moreover accumulation of water can frequently
be prevented by digging channels or bitches TO carry
away the excess.
Workers most affected by dampness will be found
in the fishing industry among leather preparers in
the glove industry, laundry workers. packing house
employees sewer workers farmers and those in the
paper and pottery industries.
Most occupations in which dampness occurs are
also associated with high and low temperatures and
with high humidity, and these variations con-

Moreover, the dusts sometimes carry germs with
them into the tissues, and once in the body the
germs may set up infammations
Among the most dangerous of the dusts which
affect mankind is silica. This produces condition
known silicosis. X-ray pictures show the lungs

When the disease is we'll advanced. the lungs do

SILICA is much used should avoid inhalation and the
head of the industry aid the workers by certain
simple procedures.
NTATER or oil may be used to wet the dust, thus
w preventing it from rising and filling the air
Exhaust systems can be applied to the dust
at the point where it develops.
Sometimes, the work can be done in inclosed
chamber, with the worker outside. Finally where
dust IS exceedingly excessive, helmets may be
by the workers to cover head and neck and they
can get their air by breathing through pipes from
a nOndusty area.
Workers in such industry should have their lungs

NNE hundred and ffty-two million pounds of

the United SttaeS. The oysters themselves in 1929
the last year for which figures available, yielded
the fishermen a return of S17O74O00 while the
Shells converted into poultry feed and lime, yielded
an additional S2524499.
Oysters have always been a favorite food IN
America according to DR.. Herbert F. Prytherch, dl-
rector Of the United States fisheries biological sta
ton at Beaufort, N. c. He says
The first question of human existence is, When
do we eat? to which the early inhabitants of
shores. the aborigines and Indians. must have fire.

THE Pilgrims found oysters a welcome aid in
their early struggles against starvation and be-
fore the end of the seventeenth century laws were
passed at Plymouth to protect the oyster beds But
the natural beds were depleted, nevertheless. with
the passage OF time and gradually the production Of
oysters by cultivation was developed.
oyster farming has become an important indus
try both the east and west coasts of the United
Sttaes." DR.. Prytherch says.
This progress, has been due to the gradual &C
emulation Of knowledge about the oyster and its en-
vironment. Some of this knowledge has been con-
tributed by the oyStermen themselves. originally
through the costly method Of trial and error. Some
Of it has been contributed by scientists.
Nearly every FISHERMAN had certain pet theories
TO the principal factors controlling oyster growth
and propagation, but these frequently failed as in
teigent guides in oyster farming and involved con-
siderable losses in labor and materials" DR.. Pry-
therch says.
The leading men Of the industry soon realized
that the real facts concerning the oyster must be de-
termined by scientific study in order that CONNER
cal operations might be conducted sound basis.

N have been made by scientists in federal and
state bureaus and in university and private labora
