Washington.—Science is saving the
mussel, or fresh water clam. Reports
from the upper Mississippi valley in
dicate that the placid niollusk, whose
shell is the chief source of •’pearl” but
tons, has been propagating rapidly,
thus checking fears that stream pol
lution had marked its doom.
“'Pearl* buttons bring to mind palm-
fringed Jagoons In the tropics, with
swarthy natives diving into ^hark-in-
tested waters for precious 'mother-of-
peurl’ shells. But upromantic buyers
of buttons look to the mud banks of
American inland waters for three-quar
ters of America's ‘pearl’ button needs.”

Of course it’s embarrassing
to ask an obliging neighbor
for the ‘‘loan" of his tele
phone, knowing that you
cannot return the favor.
But the greatest fmposi-
tion is on yourself and your
family The home without
a telephone is cut off from
ready access, especially in
these days when friends
and relatives live in scat
tered suburbs and cities
Your name in the tele
phone book makes it easy
for friends, and business
associates as well, to reach
you and your family
Ordering a telephone is
easy Ask any telephone
employe to explain straight
line and party line service
or call the business office.
Modem telephone service
is so low in cost that it
really doesn't pay to try to
do without it.
