Sex-Life of Oyster
Has Unique Aspects
Continued from Page One)

NCOnllllucQ lIOlu fdSe OllC'
that in the more southern waters
the number of young lady oysters
increased. For instance, at New
Haven harbor, Connecticut, the
ratio of 1000 oysters was 8 ladies
to every 100 men. At West Say
vile, on Long Island, 1T was 81
to 100 and at Beaufort, N. c., it
was 40 to 100.
Aside from these oddities, the
thing that seems to annoy an oyS-
ter most is a StarfiSh, which is
always eating oyters. DR.. Victor
l.. LooSanoff, of the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, said he painted r.
900 starfsh blue to see where they
go in the winter.
This was to find out if inVa-
sionS of StarfiSh, which costs the
oyster industry $500,000 a year,
could be prevented.
Dr.. Loosanoff said the farthest
any of his blue starfiSh travelled
was 5000 feet in 10 months and
that the So-called invasionS which
destroy enormous beds Of oysters
are merely the "perigrinations of
propagation, which seems to be
good note on which to quit.

CHEWING
THE RAG
,pith
Lucius Blanchard, Jr.

Hcrtford, June 3.-What at first
appears 20 be firemen battling an
underground blaze in the bus
ness section of Church street
Thursday after noon turned out
to be city Workmen trying to eX-
tinguish a nauseaSing oder or
decayed fish in a storm drain.
Sometime during the. week some
boyd-either a prankSter with a
smelly sense Of humor or some
body else without thinking-llad
dumped a number of deceased
fish in the storm drain and after
two or three days Of typical sum-
mer heat the mess was beginning
to smell to high heaven. City Of
ficials were duly called to the
scene and taking one sniff, in
turn called on other city employ
ees who arrived with a length OF
fire hose and poured gallons OF
water into the drain in an effort
20 wash the cause of il all away.
The atmosphere began clearing
shortly after this operation but
a few ounces of perfumery spray
ed around the immediate vicinity
wouldn't have been out of order.
Hitting the local Spotlights
pretty frequently of late is Maude
Keaton. a lovely-voiced lyric So
prano who was graduated from
PeruuimanS High last week. Few
local people were aware OF Maude
until the stole the graduation eX-
ercises last Wednesday night. She
was tops in a couple of state mus
ic contests during The year and
was heard by the Woman's club
a few weeks ago but the public in
general was a little N the dark
until she appeared before a thou
sand home -toWners on diploma
night and shared honorS Wrch
Federal Judge 1. M. MeekinS. On
that occasion, singing Starry
Night, she was really presented
solo to Perquimans for the first
time, and applause that rock
the ditorium when she finished
indicated that folks nCS trained
with an ear to music can
appreciate a good soprano
A protege of Miss Kate
Blanchard and a daughter of the
late Robert R. Keaton and Mrs.
Keaton of Bethel, Maude's style
is little on the order of the Lily
Pons. With continued, proper
handling she will be interesting
to watch during the next several
years. A couple of middle
aged gents getting in rather late
t'other night were wee bit Wor-
ried as to how the respective wives
would take it. They stopped
down town for a while tryin to
decide how to explain the tardy
arrivals to their better halves.
After lengthy discussion the
younger of the two said, I've got
it. You tell your wife that I kept
you out and I'll tell mine that you
kept me out and maybe they
won't get together until they for
get it. Anyway. we'll be telling
the truth. and honesty, you know,
is the best policy" "Oh yeah?",
said the older and more expert
enced member of the party, MY
wife knows you, and when tell
her that-'She best policy will be
one with a disability clause in it,"
Speaking Of wives and the
course of true love, young local
fellow recently stepped out to a
dance and left the wife at home.
When he returned in the small
hours, the miSsus had locked her.

to let him in. We don't know
whether he spent the remainder
of the night knocking at her door,

Clouds Gathering
Over Wall Street
DAYS Trading Firmer But
Constructive News
Is Lacking
Ry MAX BUCKINGHAM

New York, June o.-No""
cloudy outlook hung over the
stock market tonight despite a
tirming tendency chat developed
during the days trading.
Transactions amounted TO only
$4,000 shares - only lO,OOO
shares more than wednesday
when the ighJeSt trading IN TWO
wears was recorded-and traders
reported that no trend could be
established. Opening prices were
lower but there was no attempt to
press The decline. In the last two
hours prices came back from
lows under lead of rail issues. The
close was irriguarly higher. But
again there was no attempt to
press the advantage.
The market seeks some con-
structive news. RealistS point out
that the secondary reaction likely
has no% been completed but that
il will not go much farther. At
the same time the situations at
home and abroad were sufficient
to keep potential buyerS-and
there is considerably money
awaiting reinvestmenJ-from the
market.
The main clouds obscuring the
market are:
l. The possibility of some de-
velopment in gold. Offerings on
the London bullion market prior
to price setting today were the
heaviest in history. On an Ameri-
can basis gold dropped to a dis
count under the American price.
London believes that there will be
a tripartite announcement on
gold-poSSibly world stabilization
at S35 an ounce-next week.
Early fears of a reduction in the
American gold price are being
diSSipated.
2. Labor difficulties threaten to
bring even more than a normal
seasonal recession of industrial
operations. The steel strike is the
chief sore spot.
3. Uncertainty of the legislative
outlook. President RooSevek'S
power message had been antici-
paIed. Reports that the Supreme
Court proposal might be held in
allegiance until the next session of
congress were encouraging bur
not positive. But the tax evasion
plans and the wage and hours
legislation still are sore spots for
anyone attempting to line up an
investment policy.
Business continues to make
favorable showing. Electric power
production for last week reached
the highest total since March and
the percent gain over a year ago
was improved. The utility SfSua-
ton attracted interest. 1t was The
utilities which started the present
decline and heSe shares have been
weak ever since the decline got
underway.
Railroad carloadings this week
may show a slight decline but
hopes are high for the Western
carriers with private predictions
chat the wheat crop may reach
dollar value of around a Sl,O0O,-
100000.
The Street" today talked
about:
RaybeStoS Manhattan expected
to earn more than 50 a share in
the half. MaSonite earnings
for the year estimated around
$3.50 a share. International
Harvester expected to show re-
cord earnings this year, possibly
around ST share.
