With the- ball "busted" tin1 lo

Mr. Coolidtif said he would not

In both places. As many millions

the stapo ??f general usefulness
when President Harding spoke
four years ago.
The radio was accused of tak

of fact it looks thnt way already |
Washington still thinks maybe
th? President will weaken toward

outlook is both dubious an'
gloomy. The total eclipse <-f th

CLAM INDUSTRY

for This Industry in Year
of 1925.
Wilmington. January 23. ?
North Carolinn'tt shellfish, includ
ing New Hanover's clams, hav ?
'teen banned by the New York
clam market for an Indefinite
period, according to a statement
Riven here by J. H. Stone, In
spector tor the State Dureau of
Fisheries. In declining to buy
this commodity the New York
rlam market, which has hereto
fore absorbed the entire output of
shellfish from the State's sound
oountien, the buyers allege Mine-*
has resulted In New York and oth
er large centers from typhoid
germs carried in shellfish.
According to Mr. Stone no ban
has been placed on the shipping
of clams out of this Bectlon. New
York merely advjslng that they
will not buy for the present.
Inspector Stone has been ad
vised by J. A. Nelson, chief Inspec
;or for the fisheries bureau with
headquarters at 'Morehead City,
that the bureau of chemlHtry at
Savannah, Ga., will have an ex
pert visit the Wiimingt ?n and
MoM-heail City sections In the
near future to investigate the sit
uation an it pertains to clams.
As a result of this ban hun
dreds of people living along the
sounds are up against a dUcour
aging situation, said Mr. Stone.
These people devote their entire
(flu* to oyMtering and claming, de- j
pending on northern markets to
handle their output and until tV
alleged danger has been eliminat
ed they will out of employment,
It is said.
The action taken does not ef
fect Wilmington in regard to oys
ters as no oysters are shipped
north from this point. However,
rlam shipments are exceptionally
heavy at this time and the effect
of the ban Is being felt most
acutely.
