State Museum
CONTINUED from first pager


amples of the egg string of the
channeled whelk with its dozens
Of disk-shaped capsules containing
the seed-like eggs of this largest
mOliusk Of this section of the east
coast. a moon snail, beautiful but
predatory animal whose rasp-like
tongue is used to bore through the
shells of other mollusks to devour
them, and an example of its own
kind which it has bored in this
fashion are shown. Various shells,
such as the surf clam, the edible
mussel, and the scallOp, are dis
played along with such others as
the razor clam, the boat she'll, and
the acorn barnacle.
In addition, there is a fine exam
pie of the slowly-moving spider
crab, which derived its name from
the spider-like appearance caused
by its long legs and sac-shaped
body; and a horse shoe or king
crab, which is not a crab at all but
a relative of the spider. A small
star fish, deadly enemy of the Oys-
ter, with two of it's five rays notic-
ably shorter than the others, indi-
Gates the ability of this animal to
regenerate rays which have be-
come broken. a she'll of the moon
snail inha 1ited by a hermit crab
shows the manner in which this
latter animal provides itself with
protection which nature over
looked.
Evidence of the damage which
can be wrought by Teredos, or ship
worms, on the hulls Of wooden
boats and ships is provided by a
piece of drift wood completely per-
fOrated with holes made. by these
worms in their search for food and
shelter. These, and numerous other
forms Of invertebrate marine ami
mails, including the egg purse of
the skate, an ugly-lOoking fish re-
lated to the shark, which is termed
Yariously a mermaid's or DEVILS
purse, are among the specimens
that may be seen in this current
exhibit.
So if you've been wondering
what some of those shells, bugs
and other forms of sea side crea-
lures are which you have undOubt-
edly encountered on your trips to
the beaches. these sultry days, why
not pay visit to the State Muse
um and learn for yourself just
what it was that mystified you and
aroused your curiosity? For, in
addition to the display Of actual
specimens, the exhibit is supple
mented by an interesting booklet
which explains clearly some Of the
fascinating facts pertaining to the
lives and habits Of these creatures

lily has $3,964.SO in 1OO-cent dollars
after taxes.
AS for the $4,000 family today, it
has left $4,422.8O after Federal
taxes. But this income is worth
only $2,344.08 in 1910 purchasing
power. In 1910, however, this fam
lily had $4,925.2O after Federal in
come taxes.
A $4,000 family today has S.

lars. In 1910 this family had So
$50 after taxes.
The 100000 family has S43, 1868

and this income has the purchasing
power of only $23,3O3.O4 in 1910

$57 ,051.6O after taxes.
Looking at the picture another
way, the Chamber brought out these
additional facts with due allowance
for taxes and imitation:
A family of four today must earn
net income of $4,165 to equal a
1910 income of $4,000.
A $4,000 income earned in 1916
compares with $6,595 earned today

A family which earned $4,000 in

peurifoy's Statement
Aimed at Improving
Military Aid in Greece
BY John N. tliehtower
Assoeioted Press Stoff Writer

The State department, in an
almost unprecedented move, is
trying to end Government by
coalition in Greece for the avowed
purpose of getting batter use of
American economic and military
aid.
The move may have repercus-
sions elsewhere. although officials
said yesterday that it is not a
precedent for action in other
countries.
The situation which the United
States would like to correct in
Greece, where a minority party
taking part in coalition rule may
at any time wreck the govern
ment. has a parallel in France.
The turnover in French govern
ments has in fact been a source
OF great concern to American Of
ficialS.
Enters Electoral Feud.
Responsible informants here
ruled out any plan for the use of
American influence in France to
the same end as it is being used
in Greece but evidence of United
States interference" in affairs of
another country-always a red
flag to politicians and diplomats
may stir up interest and debate
in countries receiving United
States help.
The United States manuever in
Greece occurred when Ambassa-
dor John E. Peurifoy made a pub
lie statement Friday that plunged
him into feud between Premier
Nicholas Plastiras and Deputy
Premier Sophocles Venizelos over
the adoption of a new electoral
system. Yesterday the Seate De-
|partment supported Mr.. Peurifoy's S
declaration.
At present Greece has a coali-
ton goveohment set up under a
complicated electoral law. Gen.
PlastiraS and most other members
Of his slightly leftist party favor
Ia direct majority system. Mr..
Venizelos wants a proportional
representation system dividing
parliamentary seats according to
vote percentages. Gen. Plastiras
was driving toward his goal when
he suffered a palalytic stroke
Monday. Mr.. Venizelos, a right Of
center liberal, tried to push
through a law providing for his
proportional system.
Cabinet Issues Statement.
1t was at this point that AM
bassador Peurifoy issued a state

and opposing Mr.. Venizelos. Pro-
portional representation, he said
would cause continuous govern

astrous effect upon efficient us,

|astrous effect upon efficient use
of American aid to Greece.
Yesterday the Greek cabinet is
sued statement saying that the
American Government was natur-
Ially interested in the best use of
American aid but that the Greek
government and people would de-
eide which electoral system
Greece is to, be governed BY"
State Department officials had
no quarrel with that. It fully sup
ported both Mr.. Peurifoy and the
cabinet view that the matter is
one for Greek decision. What was
emphasized is that if the Greeks
make such a decision as will con-
tinue or increase the instability
lof their governments then the
United States will have to deter
mine whether its money is well
spent.
Law Considered Vital.
The kind of electoral law which
Greece has is regarded by officials
here as of vital Importance in this
respect. They believe that the pro-
portional representation system
creates and supports large num-
Der of small parties and thereby
a large number of contending po-
litlcal leaders who can rule only
when enough of them agree to
form a government. The difficulty
lis that they seldom remain. in
agreement very long.
The State Departments posi-
ticn is that rule by majority gov
ernment would be far more stable.
Such a government, the State De-
Ipartment contends. would be bet
ter able to lay down long range
policies and give steady guidance
for the most efficient use of Ameri-
can aid funds.
