sign indicating success in pro-
viding entertainment for boys
who are in training for national
defense. Actresses will contri-

Business Affairs: Demand for
skilled workers in the trades
will be great among manufac-
turers and builders engaged in
private enterprise. Shortage of
skilled men will cause women
TO be employed in certain
mechanical vocations. as pros

manufacturing for civilian needs.

population toward small towns
and villages. California and
Florida will profit. a. govern

National Issues: Arbitration

Mr.. FiNit: Please tell me the
difference between cork-tipped
cigarets and plain tipped ones.
DON
You're probably too young to
smoke them anyway, but the
plain ones are plain and the
cork-tipped ones have a thin
strip OF cork banding at one
end. Some smokers find the
plain paper sticks TO their lips
or goes soggy, and prefer the
cork tips which do not crumble
or disintegrate. Frequently
smokers switch from plain to
cork tips and then switch back
again after they have lighted
the cork ends a few times. It's
largely a matter Of taste.

water pearls can be found in
rivers and streams wherever
there are fish. Here's why:
Freshwater mussels have odd
habits. They incubate their
spawn in their own gills. and
they name all their youngsters
Glochidium.
When the Riddles are big
enough TO take care of them
selves (more or less) they are
transplanted- don't ask Casey
how,-to the gills, fins and
similar coy spots aboard fish.
There they look like tiny warts,
and there they are carried wher-
ever fish happen to tote them;
when they get big and old
enough, they drop off wherever
they happen to be.
Sometimes so many Glochi-
dunn land on fish-and at
that age they are simply para
sites-they cause said fish to
sicken and die. That doesn't
happen often enough to worry
about, though. Trout is the one
species which seems to be free
from furnishing free transporta-
ton and grub to the little
rascals)
Well, when the little fellers
take root in your favorite trout
pool tlikely as mott there they
remain to grow. And should a
bit of sand or other irritant
enter the mussels otherwise
happy home-a pearl!
From time to time during the
past century there have been
stampedes, treasure hunts, pearl
rushes or whatever you call
them, upon North American
brooks and rivers. Average
freshwater pearl is about the
size of a buckshot. but many a
bigger one is a matter of record.
Nature class dismissed. (And
good luck to you, sir.)
