It's September and oysters are
back in season.
Absent since April. the last
month containing an r, the
bivalves are at the same time
one mans meat and another's
poison.
An authority on the shell fish,
Robert Mclaughlin, Washington
restaurant manager who handles
about eight barrels a day, says
the oyster is probably the most
misunderstood of all food items.
The slick shellfish that is con-
sumed in half a second or so
takes five years to reach the
table. In the interim. it puts up
a terrific battle to survive.
Many Hazards.
Pollution, water too salty or not
salty enough, a million and one
microbes, starfish, drum fish and
rays are its enemies. OF a mil
lion eggs laid, probably five turn
out to be full hedged oysters.
In the course of a lifetime
they will strain several million
gallons of water for the minute
forms Of life on which they
live.
The haphazard days Of pick
ing them of the bottom of the
Chesapeake Bay or Atlantic
Ocean are over. The multi-mil-
lion dollar industry now raises
them in much the same manner
as a farmer plants q crop.
For, purposes Of conservation,
only about one in a cluster Of
Is or more finds its way to the
raw bars. The others are dumped
back to grow and insure a full
harvest for the following year.
They Like Corn Meal.
The smaller varieties are
dumped into stews, fried or
PANIED. To keep them alive for
four or five days, they are bedded
down on ice and covered with a
piece of guny sack upon which
corn meal has been sprinkled.
The oysters survive on the meal.
Most oysters eaten in this area
come from the Long Island sec
ton. However, it was not always
so. A few years back, the famous
Chincoteague oyster from Mary

lands Eastern Shore was the
piece de resistance.
The demands for Chinoc-
league oysters, plus concentrated
harvesting and pollution, have
since thinned out the stock to
the point where the shellflsh
are not large enough for the raw
bar trade.
While men prefer oysters raw
and will order them as a prelude
to any meal, women won't touch
the things as a general rule
unless they are dressed up, Mr..
Mclaughlin says referring to his
experience as manager of ODon-
nell's restaurant.
An Eary Gourmet.
He also points out that one
Of the bravest men Of all time
is the anonymous gentleman who
first partook of an oyster and
spread the word they were good
to eat.
This gentleman, according to
the National Geographic Society,
lived in historic times, and
the society has pictures of large
mounds of oyster shells found
near cave jewellers diggings to
prove their point.
They also were considered
quite a delicacy in China in
days before recorded history.

Navy Offers Two Ships
As State Memorials
BY the Associated Press

The Navy has asked four State
governments if they or non
profit organizations would be in
terested in receiving as memorials
two famous ships of Spanish
American War days.
The invitation has gone out to
Washington, California, Oregon
and Pennsylvania to take over
the battleship Oregon and cruiser
Olympia. A law passed by the
last session of Congress made
the two historic craft available
for memorial purposes.
The Navy suggested that the
cost of converting the ships into
memorials would be nominal If
they were put on land instead
of maintained in seaworthy con-
dition in the water.
The congressional act makes
the ships available to any State
wishing to acquire them.

plans to resign.

thusiastic support of the Army"

But here were a few of the
comments by generals and ad-
