No Family Resemblance
Found in Baby Oysters

A baby oyster does not bear even
family resemblance to its parents.
When first hatched, it looks some
thing like a microscopic thimble
with a hairy belt about its middle.
1t is extremely active and swarms
about in the surface waters with
thousands of its kind, while the
tides and currents may carry it far
away from the home oyster bed.
In about IS days this carefree
existence comes to an end. Some
mysterious instinct induces the
young oyster, which now has shells
but swims upright, to drop to the
bottom and search out some clean,
hard surface like shell or rock.
There it quickly expels jet of
cementlike substance from special
gland and, rolling over, presses the
left shell into this adhesive material.
In moment it is attached firmly
and for life, unless oyster farmers
transplant it or violent storms dis
lodge it. Only after the young
oyster has attached itself in this
manner can it complete its develop
ment. 1t soon transforms into the
form called "spat," which grows
rapidly and in the two weeks
measures about Il of an inch.
Oysters from 4 to 2 inches long
are known as seed oysters" Two
to five years, depending on the
locality. are required for an oyster
to reach marketable size.

thunderous ovation.
He can rub elbows with the Mid
West farmers, fraternize with schol-
ars in ivory towers, or make hit
among bustling club women. His
formal lectures have taken him to
Harvard University, Williams Col
lege, WilliamstoWn, Mass, the Uni
versity of Chicago, Ohio University
and the University of Kansas City.
Recently he addressed the regional
conference of Democratic women in
Nashville, Tenn, only a couple of
months after he appeared before
the international flower show in
New York City. The Iowa demon
stration, perhaps, has been most
heartening to him.
The farmers of the United States
have the best opportunity to pro-
mote understanding with Mexico,
because 10 per cent of our country
is agrarian," he points out. The
two groups have mutual interests.
Mexicans have focused too much
attention on New York and the in
dustrial East instead of knowing the
whole country"

Looking even younger than his Al
years, DR.. Quintanilla has been in
the diplomatic eldfi for 81 years and
is the Oldest Mexican career man in
point of service. He has earned high
degrees from the Sorbonne in Paris
and Johns Hopkins University In
Baltimore.
At Gettysburg College in Pennsyl-
vania, the young Mexican diplomat
met Ruth Virginia Stallsmith,

u. S. Farmer Aiding An1ity
With Mexico, Diplomat Says
Understanding of
Masses Desire of
Dr.. QuintoniIIo
BY MALvINA STEPHENSON.

g00d-lOOKlng young Mexican
diplomat is making us appreciate"
the Latin viewpoint of Pan-Ameri-
canism.
Author, lecturer and college pro-
fessor, DR.. Don Luis Quintanilla
carries an official message as min
lister plenipotent.ary and counselor
of the Mexican Embassy here.
Not that the versatile DR.. Quinta-
nilla can't see both sides of i'm
portant issues. In fact, his init
mate knowledge and understanding
of the peoples in Latin America and
the United States peculiarly fit him
for this goodwill mission.
Let it be said that Latin Ameri-
can prejudices concerning the
United States and its way of living
are as numerous and absurd as
those prevailing in the United
States concerning its southern
neighbors," DR.. Quintanilla con-
CedeS at the outset.
A master of practical psychology,
the minister-ora will toss these
Latin misconceptions" at an
American audience with an in
gratiating smile. And while they
are holding their collective sides in
mirth, he will hand them dose of
their own "prejudices and mis-
understandings
Wants Understanding.
Working on the premise that all
human nature is essentially the
same, DR.. Quintanilla believes that
if he can get the masses of the
American countries particularly
the United States and MeXico to
understand each other, then their
differences may be easily reconciled
and their interests harmonized.
This will mean the practical
operation of Pan-Americanism and
its all-important mission to preserve
democracy and our way of life" he
said.
What are these misconceptions
commonly developed in Latin Amer
lea? Here is a sample from DR..
Quintanilla:
All Gringos (Americans) are busi-
nessmen. The U. S. A. is Wall Street
III lllt SOOu Olu udyS. N1lllS RelleI-
ally is as deeply impressed in the
minds of most Latin Americans as
the one held by the majority of
American women: Latin men are
all so romantic!'D
The United States fellow is always
IN a hurry, pushing people around
for no reason at all. He does not
carry cane because, not being a
Latin. he would not know what to
do with it. His tastes are very SIM
pie: Baseball and cocktails. When
he Is not chewing gum, smoking
cigars, or gulping cold drinks, he is
feasting on ice cream.
Gets Much Fan Mail.
BY radio and on the lecture plat
form, DR.. Quintanilla is bringing his
practical Interpretation of Pam
Amerncanism to many sections of
the United States. His fan mail
stacks up in Hollywood proportions
Most spectacular was his reception
at Pan-American Day in Adair

President Wallace. More than TO-

Markings on Ear Stones
Tell Surgeons ACES

Surgeons ages can be estimated
by counting the markings on the
otoliths, or "ear stones" found in
side their heads, one on either side.
These correspond to a part of the
inner ear of man and animals, and
are so small. they must be studied
under a microscope.
Studies made of these otoliths,
and on surgeons of different
weights and lengths, indicate def
mite interrelationships and have
brought to light some interesting
facts.
For example: A sturgeon year

An Up-tO-Date Library

Although readers at the
Smyrna Public Library have
increased 5000 in the past
year, there are many book low
ers here who do not realize
just how fine a library we
have. On checking lists in
New York and other city pap
ers, and also lists of Book-of-
the-Month-Club and Literary
Guild, it was found that every
popular fiction and non-fction
book was on the shelves at
the Smyrna Library. With an
increase of over 200 books in
one year, the library is COM
pletely up-to-date, and furth-
er, is sometimes far ahead of
neighboring town libraries in
purchasing the latest books.
One Smyrna resident, who re-
Gently discovered" the libr-
airy, was heard to express
amazement over its up-to-date
books, and to say how much
money that borrowing these
new books had saved.
