so that, today no commercial duan-
tity of oysters is found in the waters
OF these States.
Today many species are found
along nearly every seacoast of the
world where the water reaches a
temperature of 10 degrees or higher.
In the United States, the oyster is
the most widely distributed of all
seafoods as it is found in the salt
and brackish waters Of every State
along the Atlantic Coast from
Massachusetts to Texas, inclusive,
and in Washington, Oregon and
California. The greatest production
comes from the Atlantic and Gulf
Coasts. Our annual harvest of
oysters amounts to more than H.
TOO, 900 bushels, valued at about S.
500 900 to the fishermen.
A baby oyster does not bear the
slightest resemblance to its parents
At birth, it looks like a microscopic
thimble with a hairy belt about its
middle. It is active and, with its
brothers and sisters, thousands OF
them, lives at the surface of the
water. In Is days, the oyster has
acquired a shell, can swim in an
upright position and drops to the
bottom to seek a homesite. A clean,
hard surface of a shell or rock is
preferred. A special cement SUBJ
stance is manufactured which firmly
anchors the young oyster for life
unless oyster farmers. storms OF
| foes dislodge him.
He now undergoes a change, trans
forming into a "spat" He grows
rapidly, and, when from Il of an
inch to 2 inches long, he is known
as seed oysters" In from two te
five years, depending on food and
locality, he will be ready for market
Oysters contain vitamins A, B, C
D and G in appreciable quantities
They have a high content of min.
erals, including calcium, copper, iron
iodine, manganese and phosphorus
One pint of oysters furnishes abou
one-fourth of the daily protein re-
quirement for an adult.

Back In the Stone Age people die
not have water pipes. If they want
ed a drink, they went to spring, or
to a lake or river. Those who were
smart chose spring whenever pos
sible: spring water is more likely TO
be fit to drink than that from a
river or lake.
Later came wells and water sys-
TENS. People learned to make Things
from metal, and in some places
they used metal pipes to leao water
to homes in towns and cities.
The inventors of the first water
mines have not left record OF their
work Yet we know there were such
pipes more than 1000 years ago. The
Romans had them, some being OF
wood, others of metal.
In the city of Rome lead pipes
were used to carry water into the
houses of the richer citizens. Often
the names of the owners were
marked on the lead We are able to
tell where some famous Romans
lived, thanks to the names on lead
pipes dug up in modern times
Wooden pipes, however, are prob
ably older than those of lead. They
were made by boring holes through
short logs The ends of the logs
were cut so they would fit together.
Many modern cities had wooden
pipes in their first water systems.
London, New York and Boston are
among the cities which started out
with such pipes.
Usually we think of water pipe
as being made of iron or some other
metal. but there are wooden pipes

over him.
Just then he heard a splash and
looked up to see Jerry Muskrat
swimming toward his house. Peter
straightway frightened up. Hello,
Jerry!" he called. Come on and
play!"
But Jerry Muskrat answered
never a word. He couldn't, for he
had his mouth filled with rushes
which he was carrying to his house
to repair the roof. Peter watched
him climb up on the roof and clev-
erly f1x the rushes in the place
where they were most needed. Then,

the arrival of the colonists, the
Indians knew where the best oyster
beds were located. Great mounds
of oyster shells, called Kitchen mid
dens," were found along the sea-
board In some of our Eastern States.
There was one mound along the
Damariscotta River, in Maine, said
to contain about 100000 shells.
The American Indians were so fond
of oysters that they even dried and
smoked them. So valuable were
oysters that they were used, in their
dry state, for barter.
When the early colonists arrived,
they were much impressed with the
abundance of oysters along the
shores, and this food comprised one
of their principal items of diet. They
were getting their vitamins and did
not know it; they knew only that
oysters were a very satisfying food.
In New England. the oyster fishery
was followed with such activity dur
ing Colonial days that measures had
to be taken as early as l776 forbid
ding the taking Of oysters except by
longing. In New Hampshire and

wooden pipes with bored holes.
Most modern wooden pipes are not
made by boring holes, but by fitting
pieces Of wood together so they will
form pipes. The wood is in long,
narrow strips called "staves." The
slaves are cut from high grades of
white pine, cypress, redwood and
Douglas fir. Most often they are
about 2 inches thick, but for very
large pipes Cup to 4 feet in diam
eter) they may be inches thick.
Steel bands are wound around the
slaves, to hold them firmly to-
gether. Then the pipe is covered
with asphalt or some other coating.
Wooden pipes of that kind do not
rust inside, and they are not likely
to rot If good water pressure is
kept up. They may give good serv-
Ice for from 80 to so years.

Nineteen centuries ago, the

Peter had more than half . mind

Toad was going to make his bed,

Mr.. Toad was going 1t would take
the rest of the day to get anywhere
in particular. So Peter went up on
the Smiling Brook until he came at
last to the wonderful pond Of Paddy
the Beaver deep in the Green Forest.
There was nothing sleepy about
Paddy. My goodness, no! But like
his cousin, Jerry Muskrat, he was
too busy to talk. He was cutting
logs of wood and sinking them in
his pond in a great pile. In the
winter he would eat the bark from
them, for that Is what he lives on.
So once more Peter went his way

before. It certainly was = funny

STOCKHOLM, July II. CUP)-
The Swedish. Telegraph bureau re-
ported today in an Ankara dispatch
that Premier Josef Stain had left
for the Russian front. The dispatch
was unconfirmed and no authority
for it was given.
1t was believed at Ankara, it was
said, that Stain had gone to Stain
grad to join the chief of the Rus
sian general staff and that he was
expected to make important changes
in army commands.
According to the dispatch, the
Russians were reported to have con-
centrated a large army at Stain
grad, consisting mainly of a recently
formed central Asiatic army, and
intended to wage a decisive battle
in the Stalingrad area.
All artillery and tanks that could
be spared from other fronts have
been sent to Stalingrad with the
greatest possible speed, the dis
patch reported, and the Russian
army has been ordered to defend
Stalingrad to the last to prevent
the Germans from crossing the Don
-Volga canal. The canal extends be-
tween the easternmost bulge of the
Don and the Volga at Stalingrad.

Jugos|av Guerilla
Army In Battles
Against Italians

LONDON, July II. tUP)-Reliable
sources said today that Gen. Draja
Mikhailovitch's guerillas were en-
gagged in two battles with the Ital-
ians along the border, six miles
from Fiume, Italy, and that his
men had carried out three night
raids against garrisons near Trieste,
Italy.
Trieste is 25 miles from the Juo-
slav border at the nearest point.
Both Fiume and Trieste are in
northeastern Italy. The Italians, ac-
cording to reports reaching London
have increased their army of occu-
patton in Crotia, along the Italian
frontier, to we'll over 100000 men.
General Mikhailovitch, it was said,
is concentrating the larger part OF
his Jugoslav army in Croatia, which
repeatedly developed in intense hat
red for the Italians for stealing
everything eatable or movable.
AS a result, a food shortage was
becoming critical in Croatia, and
some sources said the natives OF
Dalmatia were dying by the hun
dredS.

sian troops have smashed through
two Germans defense lines in one
sector of the Voronezh front, seizeo
the initiative in others and stopped
the enemy in the rest with a stone
wall defense, Red army communi-
ques said today.
They were aided by Russian
manned American made Bell Aira-
cobra fighters which were credited
with bringing down 80 German
planes in 60 hours. To the south
in the Don Valley, where the en-
emy still was advancing, American
made Boeings and Douglas Boston
bombers were in action.
Facing the full fury of a su-
preme German offensive in one of
the fiercest battles of the war, the
Russians at Voronezh were more
than holding their own.
Special dispatches reported that
by their counterattacks the Rus
slams had stopped the enemy and
were even making progress in
clearing up the l0-mile battlefield
between the Don and the Voro-
neZh.
o A special dispatch to the Army
newspaper Red Star said the Rus
sian counterattacks had been SO
successful that the Germans now
were trying to hold in the northern
and central sectors while they
sought to develop momentum for a
new offensive in the southern out
skirts of the VoroneZh battle zone.
In addition to the 38 planes
credited to the Airacobras, a single
squadron of Russian planes was
credited with destroying 32
Tanks smashed through the Ger
man defense lines in one counter
attack. In others, the Russians re-
gained ground and forced the Ger
mans on the defensive.
On the rest of the front before
the city, troops, drawn from Rus

back the Germans who outnumber-
ed them, outgunned them, and
threw big tank masses into the
fight.
