Mussel.

Hatteras northward, California to
Alaska and Northern Europe.
In this great order Of mollusks, to
which the mussel belongs, the shell
is divided into two halves, or valves,
each half covering a side OF the
body, while the hinge Of the valves
extends down the middle of its back.
You will find the hinge is an elastic
cushion that has a tendency to cause
the valves to cape open. There are
two very strong adductor muscles that
reach across from one valve to the
other to counteract the action Of the
hinge. The mussel is gaping most
of the time, because this Is his way
of feeding. Frightened, or when the
tide goes out the mussel closes his
doors.

 Game Setback
WASHINGTON HILL

Although defeated last night in the weekly forty-five card tour ney being conducted by the St Francis Holy Name society the Washington Hill A. c. team is still in first place but their margin was cut down from a six game lead to one by Joe Phelan and his CO., horts who handed the Hills 34-29 setback and are now but one game behind the leaders. It was re- ported in the hall after the results were made known that John Unix Capano who was released by the Hills last week gave the Phelan- men the lowdown on his former mates and as result the Hills came near losing the lead in the tourney.
 For the past five years, John Bowey has been trying to get a team together to trim John FitZ- maurice and his Shamrocks but he has yet to do so. Last night he came very near doing so drop ping a 32-31 decision to the Fitz- mauricemen. Bowey's team was leading most of the way but a lively pep talk by the old timer seemed to do the Shamrocks a world of good as they went out and won the last five games to gain the victory and place them in a fourth place tie with their riv- als.
 Boy Wonders Win
 Tom Horan and his Boy Wonders got off to a slow start this year but in the past three. weeks have hit their stride and as result they are now in third place and are but ten games behind the leaders Last night they trimmed Jimmy Cusick's team 35-28- to strengthen their hold on third place.
 Frank Shannahan and his crew walked off with high scoring hon. ors for the night when they trimmed the Earbenders 40-23 in a one -sided match.

Cooperating in preparations for the orphanage benefit minstrel at St. Joseph's hall tomorrow night, local lovers of both classical themes and popular music will all gather at the auditorium to lend their support to a most worthy cause and at the same, time witness something fine in entertainment. No one in the city or surrounding towns doubts that an orphanage is supported at St Joseph's church from funds secured through public subscription which in the past has been limited to tag day held an- nually. This venture last Septem- Der was not marked with success to any great extent due to heavy rain, and with very few people on the streets of the city the children of the 'parochial school were ham, dicapped through no fault of their own untiring efforts. Hence it was found to be a necessity to sponsor something to bolster the budget and this entertainment seems to be a solution to the problem.
