Common Mussel
(Mytilus edulis)

The mussel belongs to large fam

Sor1e mussels burroW, Others spin
nests out of parts of shells and sand,
held together by byssal threads.
The edible mussel is a native of
the temperate shores of Europe and
has proved to be sturdy and hardy
immigrant on both our coasts. Some
times acres of them are exposed at
low tide on mud flats extending far
up the eStuaries of rivers which
flow into the sea. Sometimes we
find masses of them on the under
pinning of wharves. Every escaped
bit of timber is likley to have it's
quota of mussels and vessels at
anchor soon have an extra burden
of them.

minute yellow eggs seem to fill all

into brood chambers. When these
eggs hatch the FRY" Immediately

know they would smother under the

Mussels attach themselves to their
support by a tuft of coarse black
hairs. The foot is a weak. flabby
string of muscle. 1t has a gland at
its base which, when compressed,
sends out spray of gelatinous
substance which hardens into thread
when it comes in contact with the
air These threads are very strong
and actually can lift a heavy weight.
When the mussel wishes to stroll

of the old threads and march on.

with the minute hand of the clock,
and since this independent citizen
has no particular reason for being
in hurry, the chances are it will
settle down near its last place and
take what the tides bring in.

is needed for muSsels than for
oysters, but they are very allergic to
cold. Indeed, acres of them have
been killed by one cold night. The
most important mussel farm" has
total mussel-bearing surface which
amounts to more than 100 square
miles. MuSsel beds often act as bar
riers protecting loWlands from inun-
dation. Any artificial jetty where
muSSels are found will soon be laden
with them and filled with silt. This
will increase year by year until it
will act as most dependable break
water. In France where mussels
have spun strong networks at the
bases of old bridges it is against the
law to remove them.
The Indians are well aware of the
food value of mussels. They taught
the colonistS to appreciate them,
also, but they soon found oysters and
clans in unlimited numbers leaving
the mussels to the Indians.
Once scowloads of young mussels
were dredged or raked from beds
along the coasts of New England
and Long Island, to be sold for small
amounts to the farmers, who con-
sidered them valuable as fertilizer
for their fields.

We Americans have SO much that
we do not care for mussels as they
do in Europe. We see them only in
the markets which cater TO foreign
trade. In Europe mussels are con-
sidered staple sea food, and are
shipped inland as clans and oysters
are in this country

the French on a large scale. High

gained fame in the Follies Ber- gere Of Paris. His productions in New York were eXtravagant and pretentious. He went' to untold lengths to obtain what he wanted The result was period of high French decor on Broadway.
 It cannot have been a coinci- dence that the French note began to wane with the Spanish Civil War and the gathering of war clouds over Europe. Tourist agen- cies, quick to drive home the ad- vantages of the slogan, See Am erica First created a demand for Latin entertainment of all kinds.
 Smash Success
 The Spanish note at once mani tested itself in the night clubs of the Village, of Broadway and of all the boroughs. Today, with one or two exceptions. the major clubs all feature dual orchestras-one American, the other Latin. . Today the most popular songs, as expressed by the voice of polls and by the Hit Parade, are sprin- kled with tunes that have Cu- ban, an Argentine and a south of-the-border smack.
 There are close to a hundred thousand Cubans in New York alone, and of this number a gen. erous proportion are musicians. They sponsored the Tango, the RhUmba, the Conga and the cid South American Way. Today, it is not extravagant to say that the majority of the people who patr0nize night
 clubs in New York prefer Latin
 music and entertainment to any
 other.
 Another strong note in the con- temporary scene has been the rise of Hawaiian dancing, music, and entertainment in recent years. The stronghold of Hawaiian en- tertainment in New York is the Hawaiian Room of the Hotel Lex ington, where Ray Kinney's or chestra and Lani McIntire's or chestra have alternately played for the last four years.
 Good Neighbor Policy
 The South Seas theme has been further expanded on Broadway and it's environs by other clubs, such as the Hurricane and the Beachcomber, so that today the twang of steel guitars and the swish of hula skirts is common place in the night life of the city.
 This preference for Latin and
 Hawaiian entertainment has
 been vividly reflected on the
 Broadway stages, where the
 more elaborate of the reviews
 and crazy quilt shows have fea-
 tured South American and Ha-
 waiian entertainers.
 Ill sum, the war has brought the Americas closer together, even in their play. If it were true that the First World War was won on the fields of Eton, is it fantas- tic to wonder if the second might be won in the' Conga Lines of. New York?
