During the 18th century, he dis
covered that by placing a small
object in an oyster, he used a tiny
Buddha, the oyster deposited nacre
around it.
In 1890 Japan began the COM
mercialization Of the idea. This is
a feat of industrial biology. The
process consists Of removing the
parenchyma mantle from q living
oyster which is used as a bag in
which the nucleus Of q pearl Is
placed. This bag with its seed Is
now placed in the subcutaneous
tissue through an opening surgical.
ly made and disinfected. The loaded
oyster Is returned to the sea.
. In 1881 there were more than
100000 cultured pearls. OF the
total oysters set to work so per
cent made good. In Japan the
cultured pearl industry was "bis
business" before the war. They are
eager to resume the profitable
enterprise.

Pearls.

st. Matthew said, 'The kingdom
of heaven is like unto a merchant
seeking goodly pearls, who, when
he has found one pearl of great
price, went and sold all that he had
and bought it." st. John, in Reve-
lations, described the gates of the
Holy City as IL pearls. In the Tai
mund there is a reference to the
pearl "that has no price,"
Hindu legends attribute the dis
covery Of the pearl to Krishna, the
form in which the preserving god
vishnu appeared in all his glory.
According to this story, he took
the pearl from the depths of the
sea to adorn his daughter on her
wedding day. This is the source OF
the tradition that links pearls
with brides to this day.
The pearl, even though an ex-
quisite gem, is in a sense an abnor-
NAL growth. Unlike other patho-
logic concretions which are pro-
duced in Animal and vegetable life,

Bucky's heart thundered with
excitement. So there were some
fighting Indians left in the world (!
And in Santa Land of all places.
Why, Santa's very life was prob
ably in danger!
A cowboy certainly knew what
he had to do. He belted on his

Natures Children
BY Lillian Cox Athey

In the case of the pearl-bearing
oyster. some irritation is presumed
to have set up in the musculature
system Of the mollusk. The micro
scopic irritant, from an external
source, for example, grain Of sand,
a bit of silt, remains; the oyster
being unable to rid itself of the
intruder, seeks to reduce the ir-
ritation by coating it with nacreous
material. There are certain epi-
thelial cells within the mantel OF
the oyster that have the ability
to extract from the sea water those
salts necessary to produce calcium
carbonate.
Pearls may be cream, white, rose
bronze, black or pastel colors. The
appealing iridescence for which the
pearl Is sought Is due primarily
to the reflection and refraction OF
light which takes place on the
surface Of the pearl. The forma-
ton Of a pearl is q biological ac-
cident.
Making an oyster produce a pearl

SudptcF Two.
Kid Buckaroo wrote q letter to
Santa Claus asking for some real
live fighting Indians for Christmas.
He left the letter for his father to
mail and went to bed.
Now, parents have to read letters
10 Santa before they mail them to
be sure there are no miSpelled
words. So Bucky's father read his
letter.
Good heavens!" he exclaimed.
"All he wants for Christmas are
some Indians to flght"
Mercy" cried Bucky's mother.
"Whatever shall we do?"
II don't know. Maybe I better
dress up like an Indian chief. But
one thing is certain-here's one
letter that will never reach Santa
Claus, thank goodness!"
He tossed the letter into the waste
basket. But what strange things
happened to that letter!
The next morning the waste
basket was emptied by the trash
uldi1 dlIo CdhC1 away al q U1S
truck. AS the truck rumbled
through the streets, the wind
loosened the paper and blew it
onto the sidewalk.
A man walking to work kicked
the paper into an alley. There a
small boy snatched it, wadded it
up and batted it across the street
like ping pong ball.
Mortimer Moonface Was a Brownie.
This time it landed right at the
feet Of Mortimer Moonface who was
sitting on the curbstone resting
Few people could see Mortimer be-
cause he was a brownie. He was
on his way home from the bakery
where he worked putting holes in
doughnuts.

Now Mortimer Moonface carried
q wee loaf Of bread under his arm.

The bidding:
South West North East
1heart Pass 3NT Pass
khearts Pass 6hearts Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead, three Of spades.
An interesting variation of an
old percentage theme is presented
In the play of today's hand.
The final contract of six hearts
was Soumdly reached. South, OF
course, was justified in taking
vigorous action after North's re-
sponse of three no-trump, which
shows a balanced hand containing
16 to 10 points. There are great
many players who, from force Of
habit, consider that their days
work is ended when partner leaps
to three no-trump. Perhaps bet
ter perspective of the situation
might be enjoyed by them If they
approached the problem In this
manner. my partner has an
nounced that his hand is the
equivalent of an opening one-no-
trump bid. Now if my partner had
opened with one no-trump, would
I give serious thought to slam
possibilities? Most certainly I
would. Therefore, I should, under
these circumstances, act as though
a slam were just around the cor
ner."
North, holding what he knew
10 be the key cards of the deal, ac-
cepted the invitation, though he
had no excess values. West led the
three Of spades, which declarer took
with the ace. Merely to keep him
self in practice, declarer ruffed out
the two remaining spades, drawing
two rounds of trumps in the process
He then tried the club finesSe which
went to East's king, and club
came back. Declarer discarded the
seven Of diamonds on dummy's gooo
club and then was faced with the
two-way guess for the queen o1
diamonds. Since East had already
displayed the king of clubs and the
king of spades, declarer decided tt
play West for the queen Of
diamonds, with a most unfortunate
ending.
It seems to me declarer coule
have given himself a slightly bet.
ter chance for success. Stripping
out the spades was a necessary
part of the plan, but, thereafter
we would have preferred to attacl
the diamonds without attempting
to guess the location of the queen
We would play the ace and king
With five diamonds out, dropping
the doubleton queen, while it i!
not favored by the odds, is by nj
means a long shot. If the queer
should fall, there is no further
problem. If it should not, then an.
other diamond Is led. If East win!
the trick, he must resign, for an!
return by him assures declarel
against the loss of club trick. L
West should win with the queer
Of diamonds, declarer will still re-
tain the hope that the club finess'
will work.
In this manner declarer allow
himself two chances instead of one
