Early Peoples Passed
Up Delicious Clams
Dr Edward S Morse of Salem who
spcut 45 years sorting over the shell
heaps that are found along the New
England shore found them composed
'largely of oysters and clams Kin
when he went to Europe to consult
Wlth Trofessor Steenstrup the Dnnlsh
-expert on European shell heaps he
iwas amazed to learn that no Hum
shells were found among the oysters
says Edwin E Slosson director of
science service writing in Collier's
Magazine
Although clams abounded In the
Baltic the prehistoric people never ate
them It was the same In England
the clam had never been eaten even
ln ancient times We learned the
epicurean delights of the clam from
the North American Indians to whom
yre are Indebted for tobacco
Now we are accustomed to think of
these early ancestors of ours as rather
undlscrlmlnatlng In their diet having
no prejudices against beast bird fish
tnollusk or Insect Yet these poor be-
nighted creatures had lived for 23000
years with clams served up to them
on the shell as a free lunch at every
tide and they wouldn't touch 'em
New One
Here Is a news Item that someone In
Los Ar Seles can probably get away
with— once
It was to blow out a match that John
ITelfetz speeded his automobile through
North Broadway Yonkers at 33 miles
an hour
"I had three girls In my car and one
of them tried to light a cigarette" he
explained to the Judge adding:
guess I'm a bit old fashioned I din'
want my girl to smoke so I stepped
on the gas The breeze blew out every
match she tried to light
And the judge smilingly said that
that was a new one and suspended
sentence

CM A-
A pair of correctly fitted glasses will chase the shadows
off the pages Squinting and straining your eyes make
poor vision worse How unnecessary and how danger-
ous to delay when priceless sight is at stake
Our new glasses are becoming and are not expensive
Come in and let us test your eyes
She wants to walk down the street hanging on the arm of
the man she loves and idle in front of shop windows talking over
the things she sees she wants to drop in at a movie or see a
show and stroll out with the crowd loitering at will she vants
to go shopping when she feels like it stop at the counters and
look over the bargains she wants to drop in on her neighbors
and have her neighbors drop in to see her she wants in fact the
simple eveiyday things that are a matter of course to most
women
She has never had these things and Mary Pickford wants
them poignantly
Here is a young woman in the prime of life positively starv-
ing for the simple routine of life that most women accept as a
matter of course It is impossible for her to show herself on
the streets of her own Hollywood without being literally fol-
lowed about by crowds she cannot go to a theatre without slip-
ping in after the house is dark and hiding heiself in a box she
cannot walk in peace travel in peace nor do anything outside
the gates of her home and studio She ia a prisoner in a sense
that few people realize
In order that this be better un-
derstood we must go back to the
earlier Mary Pickford the starry
eyed little girl five years old drag-
ged by the hand of fate from the
childhood games she was beginning
to love At this tender age she made
her first appearance on the stage in
Toronto Canada her birthplace The
stage has never been her choice It
has simply been the thing for which
she seemed best fitted and through all
the years that followed she stuck
grimly to her work because of the ne-
cessity Fortunately for her a fine old
fashioned mother surrounded her
with love gave her the sympathetic
guidance of true understanding and
thus preserved here naive whole-
someness The nature of her and
teachers due the nature of her work
prevented her having what her heart
craved In her own words "I greatly
missed the play days of my child-
hood and the opportunity of really
'giving away' to a spirit of gay
abandon that only children ever
reach That is one reason why get
such pleasure playing child roles they
give me the chanee to play vhat I
was denied when I was a little girl"
As she grew up and success crown-
ed her there still was no chance for
her to play as others of here age
were able to do Just as in her
earlier years she had sacrificed child-
hood to necessity she now was begin-
ning to sacrifice her natural desire for
a simple normal round of life
And so we come to the Mary Pick-
ford of today Few people realize for
how far into the tiny corners of the
world this girl's popularity reaches
Her mail is laden with letters in ev-
very language She is the only wo-
man in pictures who is socially
honored by the real royalties of
Kurope When she is traveling peo-
ple at every station crowd the plat-
forms for a chance glimpse of her
And with all of this she is just a
charming wistful young woman hap-
py in the love of a devoted husband
but still missing the thinps her less
famous neighbors accept as a matter
of course
You may wonder from this if she
is happy with her lot The answer
is yes But even the reason for her
boinjr happy in spite of missing the
things she craves is in itself a simple
thins: her work makes others happy
Therein lies her compensation She
has learned that service to others is
the one coin that pays all dolts we
owe our hearts
