I. -- Strictly speaking, there is no oyster sea- son, according to Dr, Thomas H. Connolly, chairman of the state board of purification of waters. Dir, Connolly, a prominent deal- <r, declared that oysters were as delicious and healthful in July and August as they were in fall aud winter months, To. explode the hardy myth that oysters are good only In the "R"" months, the so-called oys- ter season got the jump on Sep- tember this year, by opening August 31 in Rhode Island. Sev. eral factors, such as recent fav- orable spawning, the absence of polution in oyster bearing areas, the growing practice of certifying shipments and the largest num- ber of "set'" oysters in recent years, assure an unusually' sue- cessful season this year for island oystermen, Whether the scallop season, wkich begins officially September 12, will be marked by a larger crop than the relatively small one last year at this time, cannot be determined until the season starts, Unlike the . scallop season, which is defined by a law provid- ing a jail sentence for fishermen who go out before the opening date, there is no law against ga- thering oysters at any time, Dr. Connolly explained. They are not gathered in large quantities in summer, he said, because that is the oyster spawning season and because "people prefer ice cream to oysters in summer." Although the opening of the oyster season at the start of Sep- tember every year results more from a '"gentlemen's agreement' than from a strict law of nature or the legislature, it was not al- together unheralded. For the last 1,600 years the Lord Mayor of Colchester, England, has mark- eG the opening by toasting the King with gin, gingerbread and an oysters On August 31 mayors of three American cities opened the season by sampling the blue- points on the halfshell. The gin and gingerbread were omitted, OF THE SHOW CARS OF THE YEAR.

COMFORT AND LUXURY, GOOD SAMARITAN AIDS HITCH-HIKER Providence, R.I.--While hitch~ hikers should be warned that sleeping in the rain by the road- side generally means a cold or worse, one road walker, Harry J. 'Mooney, of Maine, found it meant money---four dollars. ! After working nights all week in a New London restaurant, Jlarry Had discovered he had been laboring seven days for just his meals. He lost a rather heated argument about it, and decided it was about time to go to Maine to visit his father, whom he had not seen for seven years. Walking nearly twenty miles on the first day, he finally succumb- ed to weariness, and lay down by the side of the road. Rain tell, but he was soon asleep. : A motorist passed 'and, mak- ing sure the sleeping man was alive, put four dollars in his pocket. Later he requested at- tendants at a gasoline station to impart the details to the police. The police arrived, and still asleep, Harry was take to the station, where he was revived. Ho was then asked if he 'wanted something to eat, and why, if he was hungry, didn't he use the four: dollars he possessed. "Where did I get this?' he'ask- cd, as he fingered the money he was directed to take from his pocket. Officers explainca ne motorist's act. .
