The Souls of Oysters
In the Coffin, He Pays
Polly Has a Tombstone
Suicide Is Folly
Mr. Kokichi Mikimoto, able Jap-
anese gentleman, once a peddler of
noodles, is now
gigantically rich,
thanks to his oys-
ter pearl idea.
He makes real
pearls by forcing
the oyster to
work at
production. In-
stead of
with a pearl in it,
he puts little, ir-
ritating grains of
sand inside the
shells of millions
of oysters, and
each oyster proceeds to deposit the
pearly substance on the sand to
escape its irritating scratching.
Arthur Brisbane
These pearls are ‘‘real.” Al-
though experts can tell the differ-
ence, they annoy jewelers
accidental pearls, but they make
it unnecessary for the unfortunate
pearl diver to ‘‘go all naked to the
hungry shark,” as the poet has it.
Mr. Mikimoto has been obliged to
kill hundreds of millions of oysters,
which is serious:
ligion teaches that each has its little
separate soul—in fact, the soul of
his great-grandmother might have
resided in one of the oysters.
An American who recently died
feft a fortune of between twenty-
five and thirty million dollars, chief-
ly in tax-exempt securities on which
the owner, while he lived, paid no
income tax. Now that he is dead,
inheritance taxes will take about
two-thirds of the many millions.
The lack of a ‘"dead-or-alive' tax-
exempt securities offers opportunity
to some able lawyer. If the govern-
ment has no constitutional right to
take any income from tax-exempt
bonds, how can it legally take half
merely because the owner is in his
coffin?
A green parrot, with red tipped
wings, buried in a respectable
grave, will have a granite head-
stone with ‘‘Here lies Polly Cod-
dington, sixty-eight years old," en-
graved on it. Exactly how old Polly
was, no one knows. Born in Brazil,
she was presented to the grand-
mother of Mrs. Joseph E. Hunt,

Such strikes would prob-
ably bring welcome orders for
planes to American factories; never-
theless, it is only fair to remind
British workers, quarreling among
themselves, that when foreign
bombs begin dropping on their
families any strike against national
safety will seem to have been fool-
ish, in retrospect. And those words,
“chiefly women and children,”
should be remembered.
Borrowed money is cheaper, and
it ought to be, since the dollar is
only worth 59 cents. A cheap
house or cheap dollar should bring
a cheap rent. Even so, it surprises
you to learn that Mayor LaGuardia
borrowed from J. P. Morgan & Co.
thirty million dollars for the city,
spread over a five-year period, for
one and one-tenth per cent interest.

in three months may not be “big
money,” but “it is better than be-
ing hit on the head with a sharp
stone.”

that it's the comedians who forget
