The question was first asked some days ago In Cynthia Grey’ department, and answered several ways. The controversy hasa roused ity fall— jam cam crawl! siopped over the edges of Cyn- department into the’ sports rs-and-sobs. Indeed, the time has come for a \clamd! seussion of the calm. Does a clam crawl? Conld it crawl if it wanted to? And why should it want to? | Personally, we like to think of a clam as leading an ideal, untram- | meled existence, laved by the mur muring waves when the tide is in and basking contentedly on the sand when the tide is out. If tt ts true, as Is claimed by the lady who first asked the question, that clams crawl, we view the cir cumstance with alarm. Would a calm clam crawl? No! Here we have a sinister commentary on the tendency of the times, The crawling clam that the lady saw was not calm. It was a nerv- ous clam, a high-strung clam, a neurotic clam. A temperamental clam, there dwelt in its bosom that spirit of unrest which makes the dollar-mad business man of today run around in cireles. The lady who started the contro- versy says she saw a clam crawling along the sand on the open edges of its shell, with the hinge upper- most. It may be so. There is cor- roborative evidence. Others have seen clams crawl. Yet there be experts who burst such wide-spread interest that it) DEC. 9 IN ELECTRIC CHAIR THIS CLAM DISCUSSION OVER THE — CALM IS MAKING US NERVOUS into peals of Homeric laughter at the suggestion, Yesterday we interviewed a gen- tleman who claimed to be an author. j ity on clams. We found him at | Bilty the Mug’s. He assured us that he had frequently seen clams crawi. The gentieman had a red nose. In his younger days, he said, he had bee sailor. Taken prisoner by pirat he was marooned by them on a lone island not far from Butte, Montana. There he saw clams which not only crawled, but hopped, skipped and jumped, and ran mara- thons. He also saw flocks of pink camels. We suspect the gentleman exag- | gerated. | Last night, still pursuing the ine quiry, we dropped in at our favor- lite place of refreshment and ate a clam chowder, We know it was a clam chowder because the bartender said it was. Besides, we found a clam. It took us a long time to | find it. It was hiding behind a | plece of potato. We watched it closely, and it did not craw!l—then But it crawled later, and dis turbed our slumbers. Sliced cu- cumbers crawl the same way.
