Oysters’ Protection
In 1375, King Edward III of Eng-
land forbade the collecting or re-
moving from their beds of young
oysters in any month of the year
except May. His edict also prohib-
ited the collecting of full-grown oy-
sters from May to September. Both
of these regulations represent the
earliest known law ordering such
protection, and were presumably
due to biological experiences which
indicated even in those early days
the necessity for conservation of
natural resources, says Dr. Fritz
Haas of the Chicago Field museum.
Furthermore, the measures taken
were In accordance with the dic-
tates of modern science, and thus
the proper ones to achieve the pur-
poses sought.

When Roll Was Called
Two years ago citizens of
Granger, Wash., organized “the
finest volunteer fire department in
central Washington” and named
Darwin Davis as assistant chief.
But now they’re considering all
sorts of dire action against Davis
because he spoiled the chance the
department bad awaited for two
years. For 24 months members of
the department drilled faithfully,
waiting for the day they could show
their prowess in a real fire. It final-
ly came and when the fire alarm
rang the members turned out in
force—all except Davis. Not wait-
ing for their assistant chief, the vol-
unteer firemen dashed to the scene.
Miss Evelyn Hartley ’and Earl
Wylie are visiting Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Marquette at Grimes this

Miss Clara Bell Tarkington of

Sprinting Pig
Perhaps looking forward to the
day when a fleet foot might save
him from the slaughter house, a
baby pig at Wilton, N. H„ tries his
luck at outdistancing automobiles.
The pig races a car going in one
direction, but reverses its track
when It meets one traveling the
other way.
Sea-Fish Eyes
The farther down in the sea that
fish live, the bigger are their eyes
until about 200 fathoms, when eyes
become smaller, disappearing en-
tirely at great depths. Fish eyes
Increase enormously In size propor-
tionately With the depth until the
limit of sunshine penetration’ is
reached, which is about 200 fathoms
below the surface. The bigger eyes
enable the fish to utilize most ef-
fectively the smaller concentration
of light Below 200 fathoms the
eyes of fish become smaller and
finally in the totally dark lower re-
gions many sea creatures have no
eyes whatsoever, depending upon
feelers to guide them in their activi-
ties.

Great French Romances
At the request of the Nonesuch
Press, a committee of leading
French writers, headed by Andre
Maurols, Andre Gide and Paul Mo-
rand, prepared the following list of
the 10 great French romances:
"The Princess of Cleves.” by Mme.
de Lafayette; “Manon Lescaut,” by
the Abbe Prevoat; "Candide," by
Voltaire; “Dangerous Acquaint-
ances," by Choderlos de Laclos;
“The Charterhouse of Parma,” by
Stend’hal; "Pere Goriot,” by Bal-
jgc; "Madame Bovary,’’ by Gus-
tave Flaubert; "Germinal,” by
Emile Zola; "A Woman’* Life,” by
Guy de Maupassant, and “The Gods
Are Athirst," by Anatole France.
Baby’s Eyesight
If a baby aeems to have trouble
in making its eyea move in unison
during the first few months, don’t
worry too much about it, advises the
Better Vision Institute. It takes
time for the child to learn to co-
ordinate the eye muscles and for
the first few months of Its life move-
ments of the eyes may seem rather
wobbly. If eye co-ordination does
not improve with the passing of the
weeks then, at course, the mother
should be concerned about the con-
dition. Eyestrain brought about by
to correct visual defects may
throw the eyes out at
