A ON WHAT'S DOING It seems strange that every time a local city administration finds it necessary to economize that the first thing done is to cut the pay of the employees of the garbage plant, the great majority of whom are members of the race. Of all the many departments of the city, it was the only one to be threatened with the economy ax for a short time, the first on the week. The Founder, who suggested an economy move that would result in the lowering of the salaries of the Directors would benefit the city far more than cutting the meager pay of workers at the garbage plant. At Monday evening's meeting of the City Council, Councilmen Payne, Finkle and Bundy championed Democratic Councilman Hugh H. McFarland's resolution calling on Welfare Director David S. Ingalls to disclose to the Council the political changes made in the City Hospital lay-staff since April 1 and after the creation of the citizens advisory committee for the hospital, thus making politically unpopular use in the campaign, this fall, against the county Republican ticket, Payne, Finkle and Bundy are evidently smarting under the flat turn-down the Council gave them, three weeks ago, when they sought to prevent that body from indorsing Director Ingall's request for authority to appoint the citizens hospital advisory committee of five of which Atty Alexander H. Martin is our member. Their evidence shows previous political judgment and is bound in the end, to hurt them as well as the party. Their fight on Director Ingall cannot and will not be justified by loyal Republicans of the city or county. Local Democrats evidently scent victory at the polls, this fall, judging from the large number of candidates for the State Legislature already in the field. Last week, nearly 100 appeared before the scanning committee of the local Democratic organization which is to select 18 candidates for the House and six for the Senate. Six Representatives and one Senator, all Democrats, are candidates for renomination. This county's two candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor (Elden and Morgan) puts it out of that race and just about in the middle of the Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown who was defeated for the nomination, two years ago, by Welfare Director David S. Ingalls. The multiplicity of local Afro-American candidates for the State Assembly, The Rounder fears, is not going to work out so well for us. Representative Chester Gillespie ought to be renominated. He has earned it by good work. Of course, he did not do everything we wanted him to do, but whoever does? He did much, however, and that is more than one can say for "The Blossom Triplets."

LUTHER KING, TENOR, SCORES IN HIS DEBUT. The Young Singer Compared With Crooks, Metropolitan Opera Company Star. Although the Cleveland tenor, Luther King, has been heard here on various occasions in the past, his appearance at Masonic Auditorium last Friday night was his first complete public recital, and may in a sense be regarded as his concert debut. I think his listeners will agree that one rarely hears a sweeter, more engaging than that which comes from the throat of this young Negro. There is as high a Luther King. degree of taste and intelligence in his singing as there is emotional sincerity. Not so long ago, I heard Richard Crooks sing "Le Reve" from "Mann," and the memory is so vivid that I cannot retrain from a comparison with King's rendering of it last Friday night. Had there been screens in front of each singer, it would have been hard to tell them apart. King's vocal and temperamental equipment is perfect for this aria, and his soft, velvety pianissi- SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR The Great Afro-English Musician Director and Composer. mo tones floated out with entrenching purity. There is something in him also that is very congenial to the French language, for in this, as well as in Duparc's "L'Invitation au Voyage," his diction was excellent. Other outstanding vocal achievements were his admirable interpretations of the concluding aria of "On Awake," and his "On Awake, Awake Beloved," from Coleridge - Taylor's "Hiawatha." Both were first rate. I do not say that he has yet acquired all the versatility necessary to hold a top rung on the ladder. Like a workman conscious of his tools, he is still a bit too preoccupied with enunciation and tone production to sing with the complete freedom one might wish. This was the case with the German songs by Mozart, Schubert and Strauss, in some of which he did not quite catch the essence. But he is making rapid strides, and the delicate, persuasive lyricism of which he is at present capable already places him high in the ranks of singers. He was accompanied by Swenson-Herbert Browell, music critic, in The Pain Dealer (daily). ALL "CHECKED OUT." Washington, D. C.—Five members of the race, who with approximately 200 other members of the National Association of Substitute Post Office Employees visited the White House, last week Friday, in behalf of the Celler bill, were refused accommodations at two hotels here. Their white associates on learning this checked out of both of them. About 3 a.m. government employees secured quarters for our members of the delegation while the white members went to another hotel. 'SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "HIS CUTTLEFISH ARGUMENTS ON SEGREGATION" IN THE CRISIS, MAGAZINE. Which Continues Its Editor's "Policy of Annihilation by Confusion," Says Geo. S. Schuyler—DuBois Should Help the N. A. A. C. P. The suicide of Monroe Trotter greatly saddened me. I always grieve at the passing of a really great personality, but the hurt was deeper in the case of Trotter because he was murdered, done to death, not by those he fought, but by those for whom he fought. He was a martyr to a cause. He wanted freedom and manhood rights for colored Americans, but they did not want freedom and manhood rights for themselves. Monroe Trotter dedicated his life to a task more difficult than selling electric heaters in Timbucou or Oxford dictionaries in Mississippi. Starved and indifferent of a people who yell for their rights but will not fight for them nor pay others to do so, he killed himself, even as did Sappho of old, because his love was rejected Ironically enough, the death of Monroe Trotter, followed closely upon the unconditional surrender of Dr. W. E. B. DrBois, as though the Boston Savonarola had, like some Japanese nobleman, committed harl-kari as a supreme gesture of disgust and disapproval after the so-mersaulting of the Heidelberg man. The whole spectacle must bring a twisted smile to the lips of every cynic. The moral of this tale is clear. Uncompromising fighters for the basic human rights have a hard time in this world because mankind is essentially slavish. There are few real lovers of liberty except in books. One after another, divine personalities fired to incandescence by the single bright flame of an ideal have been deserted by those they sought to save. And because of this ineradicable slavishness of humanity, this inherent cowardice of the mob which makes possible expulsion persecution and the myriad lills to which society is heir, mankind remains, as it has ever been and will ever be, in physical and intellectual serfdom. The Heidelberg Man (Du Bois) in the May Crisis continues his policy of annihilation-by-confusion with his cuttlefish arguments on segregation. Here we find the same militant pettiness, the same talented tergiversations, the same wild thrashings about with the rod of rule-or-ruin, the same spiteful snappings so symptomatic of cerebral senility. After perusing this fifth 1934 outpouring on segregation, it is impossible longer to respect the intellect of the eminent Harvard alumnus. Such ducking, dodging, shuffling and dawning of the waters has seldom been assasinated by "Hed Robert" Moton or some of our sleek social workers. Throughout this latest piece as in the four previous ones, there runs the constant note of futility, the deep wall of despair. DuBois moans, in effect, "We are in THE ANNUAL MEETING Of The Christian Community Center A Very Interesting Affair—A Number of Prominent Speakers. There was an exceptionally large attendance at the annual meeting of the Christian Community Center at Euclid Ave. Baptist church, last week, Thursday evening.

Give the Schuyler article on page 1 of this paper a careful reading. As far as our people are concerned, there is not a great deal of difference between Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt. So Oswald Garrison Villard "penned the call for the meeting that led to the organization of the N. A. A. C. P." We have always that that "The Heidelberg Man" did that. M. Blaise Diagne, a member of the French parliament from Senegal, Northern Africa, who died, recently, in Paris, France, was slowly but surely growing to be our greatest representative in public life—a world figure. Luther King's formal debut as a tenor soloist, in Masonic Auditorium, this city, last week Friday night, was almost a perfect artistic success. Local daily newspaper critics were profuse in their praise not only of his splendid tenor voice but of the artistry shown in the use of it. His future career as a soloist is very promising, indeed. Why were not many more of our people in the audience? "Twas ever thus. The N. A. A. C. P.'s annual meeting, this year, will open in Oklahoma City, June 28. The organization, last year, promised court-action to wipe out the vicious and very harmful Ohio Supreme Court decision in the Doris Weaver case. Ohio delegates, to the Oklahoma meeting, should bring this matter to the attention of the national organization and learn whether or not it intends to keep its promise, and when! The time to start is now! ROOSEVELT AND LYNCHING The federal government is bothered about kidnapers and gangsters, but not about lynchers. Apparently, lynching is no crime, in the opinion of the powers at Washington. It is not worth special treatment, because those who are lynched are black, have little or no money, and do not belong to a favored class. Victims of kidnapers, however, are invariably rich, and the "New Deal"—or as William Pickens aptly term it, the "Raw Deal"—does not apply to poor and friendless inhabitants of this vast country. President Roosevelt should force an anti-lynching bill thus Congress with the same vigor with which he has moved in pressing the warfare against gangsters and kidnapers. Out of the pleasant Sunday evening meeting which Walter White enjoyed with Mr. Roosevelt at the executive mansion, some time ago, must come some constructive action, either in the shape of an anti-lynching bill or a country-wide campaign against race prescription. Last week Friday, the President handed the Department of Justice seven powerful new laws against kidnapping, extortion, robbery and other offenses and launched the federal government on a new era of criminal law enforcement. Placing his signature on seven new anticrime laws recently passed by Congress, he announced he stood "squarely behind the efforts of the Department of Justice to bring to book every law breaker, big and little," and called upon the public to support the government's drive. Nary a word, however, about stopping lynch-murder, still so prevalent in the South where he has a winter home. "Law enforcement and gangster extermination cannot be made completely effective so long as a substantial part of the public looks with tolerance upon known criminals, permits public officers to be corrupted or intimidated by them, or applauds efforts to romanticise crime," the President said. By the same token, mob violence, especially lynch-murder, cannot be stopped by ignoring the barbaric practice, Mr. President! Therefore, why ignore the greatest of national crimes and refuse even to discuss it in the public print or with individuals who seek conference with you on the subject? First came the Doris Weaver case. Now comes the audacious Dr. L. A. Pechstein of the University of Cincinnati urging segregated schools in Ohio. And the state law against such! It is just a little surprising that he was not given a Bronx cheer when he talked as he did before that group of our people at Wilberforce. Any man who urges the segregation of one race from another is an enemy to society and should be treated as such. Pechstein should have been hustled off the platform. It seems that he had been invited to Wilberforce to address a state conference in which there were several teachers of separate schools, called by the then superintendent of the State (C. N. & I.) Department, Howard D. Gregg, and it was this fact that contributed most largely to Gregg's recent demotion from the superintendency to membership in the faculty. Gregg has impressed our people of Ohio as favoring "jim-crow" schools, so should be divorced entirely from all connection with any Ohio school. Dr. Pechstein could be spared, too. DOINGS OF THE RACE Julius F. Taylor, founder and editor of The Chicago Broadaxe, died, May 10. Three new C. M. E. bishops were elected at the recent Quadrennial Conference of the Church held in St. Louis, Mo. Chester E. Morgan, Jr. of Colorado Springs, has been elected a member of the high school national honor society. Henrietta Vinton Davis, many years ago a leading elocutionist, has succeeded Lionel A. Frances as president-general of the U. N. I. A., Inc. Every Afro-American, especially those misguided "Negroes" who are inclined toward segregation, should see the picture, "The House of Rothschild." It is wonderful. According to the provisions of a resolution passed recently at the National, Y. W. C. A. meet in Philadelphia, any woman or girl of any creed or race, eighteen years of age or older who will sign the usual pledge of membership will be admitted to membership. For some time past it has been evident that jimcrowism, segregation etectora, has been the usual practice at Pisk University, Nashville, Penn. Colored members of the faculty go to "the buzzards' roost" at "jimcrow" theatres, students attend functions where special seats are reserved for whites and on ad nauseaum.—Boston Guardian. THREATENED STRIKE Of Garbage Collectors Fails to Materialize—Director Eirick's Statement—Finkle Intercedes, The threatened strike of the city garbage department collectors did not materialize, Monday, as anticipated. Prior to the recent bond election, they had been working three days a week, making two collections a day which was really too much to continue trying to do, they say. After election they were given four days a week, making one trip a day. Last Saturday, they were notified that they were to be cut again to three days a week, with two collections a day. Monday morning at the plant, both the superintendent and his assistant promised to intercede for the men who thereupon went to work on the four day week, one office day, a day seedle. Councilman Herman Finkle, chairman of finance committee, also urged the men not to take any drastic action until the situation could be investigated and also promised to intercede with Service Director Wm. F. Eirick. Where were the Blossom Triplets," Councilmen Payne and Bundy, while this was going on? Director Eirick said Tuesday, that at first he wanted to try out the three day-a-week, two collections a day, schedule to see if they could keep up with their collections. This the men absolutely refused to do, saying it was really too much to ask of them. Eirick said, they have decided to employ the collectors four days a week, instead of three, and to take a chance on getting the money necessary to continue on that basis for the rest of the year. I feel certain I can get it, for garbage collections affect the citizens as directly as anything the city does." First Lady Pleads for Equality. Speaking to a mixed conference of educators, at Washington, D. C., May 11, '34, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said: "The day of really working together has come and we must learn to work together regardless of race, creed or color." After telling the conference that she favored equal opportunities for every child in the land, the President's wife said: "We can have no group beaten down, underprivileged, without reaction on the rest. Where the standard of education is low, the standard of living is low." Paris, France.—M. Blaise Diagne, deputy (congressman) in the French Parliament from Senegal, Africa, and member of a French cabinet in 1931—Under-Secretary of State for the colonies, appointed by Premier Laval—died here, recently. During the World War he was French high commissioner for Senegal and had charge of the recruiting of Senegalese soldiers to fight for France. This service received tributes from former Premier Clemenceau and former War Minister Maginot. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. MAY 26. 1934.

Columbus, O. — Another trophy was added to Jesse Owens's large collection when he won; the Ohio State individual intramural track championship here Tuesday, in competition with 125 university athletes. The freshman track sensation from Cleveland captured three first places to make a perfect score of 3,000 points. The award danced in 9.7 seconds, the 220 in 22 seconds and the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet, 10% inches. One thousand points were awarded for each event in which the designated minimum mark was exceeded. WHITE'S NEXT MOVE. The Costigan-Wagner Anti-lynching Bill Dead What Will the N. A. A. C. P. Do Now>Pertinent With the Costigan-Wagner bill evidently slated for the shelf, it is up to Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., to make the next move. He has devoted all his energies in recent months toward securing the passage of the bill, because the N. A. A. C. P., at this particular moment in its history is sadly in need of a spectacular victory. It follows that the Louisville segregation case which Wm. Warley of that city won, the Elaine, Ark. case, or the defeat of Judge Parker for the U. S. Supreme court. It must have a program that includes the galvanizing of 13,000-000 black men and women into action against a well-designed move to return the colored masses to the status of slaves. There is no mystery about this. Astute race men in their responsible journals are calling attention to the danger ahead, and the serious as the Roosevelt program goes to pieces and is supplanted by some form of naked dictatorship. In the light of the foregoing, what will the executive officers of the N. A. A. C. P. do? They form a virtual autocracy. They are not responsible to the membership for their actions, except to a degree so slight as to be virtually non-existent. In their publicity they have been constantly stressing old victories, because in recent years race oppression has become so intense and segregation has spread so widely that it is hard to discern any gains either to the organization or to the Afro-American population. Englishmen can similarly subscribe to the Scottboro case as reported in The Gazette of May 19, '34, it should not be difficult to arouse Englishmen, Frenchmen, Italians and Swedes to the viciousness of "jim-crowism," lynching, vile slums and the denial of equal educational opportunities. Can Mr. White rise to the occasion, or must we await a "New Deal" in the race's affairs, with a new defense organization taking the help? Member N. A. A. C. P. "CAROLINA" BARRED!

This is being done under the direction of Dr. Thomas Poulet chief of our 35 scientists, who is in command here while Admiral Byrd is off in his h12 123 miles away. At home Dr. Poulet is head of the science department of Iowa Wesleyan College at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. In this meteor shower business down here he is working with fifty meteorological stations throughout the world and a lot of new knowledge of Celestial ways should come of it. Our daily routine is all in working shape now. We rise at 7, get into frozen clothes, thaw ourselves out a bit and have breakfast at 7.30. By 8.30 we are at work. Luncheon happens at 12.30 and dinner at 6.30. For breakfast we have dry or cooked cereal with real cream and milk from our own cows, hot cakes or bacon and eggs, and coffee.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. No longer and New Jersey have followed the example of our Ohio law. Several other north- and least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. When Teeth WOBBLE it may be too late for your dentist to save them as some of the tissue which holds teeth in their sockets will already have been destroyed. Firm healthy gums that hug the teeth provide protection against infection and destruction of the underlying tooth supporting tissues. Get professional advice before trouble starts Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disabled the person receiving it from earning livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, miscreants, in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor or children present, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damage or malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7. Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such Co-operate with your Dentist in striving for clean Gripped Teeth MOB8. county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of a pachate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, may be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the commission of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper eating house, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars or more than five hundred dollars, nor imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court, of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. h WOBBLE dentist to save them as some teeth in their sockets will d.

The toy fish merchant has enlarged his stock to include fish from far distant waters, and aquariums are about as common in American living rooms today as potted plants. Who started the fad of aquarium fish is a bit of a mystery. Rumor names Egypt; but although the fresh waters of Egypt are replete with curious and beautiful dwarf fishes and the Egyptians developed the art of glass-blowing in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, after 300 B. C., there is no evidence that vessels of glass were used for aquaria. It is well known that the lure of breeding fishes in captivity took possession of the Chinese several hundred years ago, spreading to Japan, and thence over the western world, with the goldfish as its original object of interest. During the past 75 years, experimentation with the balanced aquarium has passed through various salt and fresh-water phases until, with tropical toy fishes, it has reached the peak of enthusiasm and success in Europe and America. Not that the goldfish has suffered a loss of popularity. Many millions still are reared annually in the United States, largely for martyrdom in the quart globe, and there is little diminution in the demand for bizarre and costly varieties. Among cold-water species it has no rivals. Nevertheless, tropical fishes have supereded goldfishes in many of the smaller hatcheries, and some of the larger goldfish farms have built conservatories for rearing them. Many shops in the larger cities are devoted exclusively to their sale, and a pet show without a display of the colorful midges would be noticeably incomplete. But it is true, also that, while most American and European homes have been ornamented at some time by the presence of a few goldfishes, the majority have not as yet succumbed to the allurements of the toy tropical, though fish "fans" spring up daily like mushrooms, enticed by the flash of color, the beauty of fin and form, the remarkable breeding habits undisturbed by captivity, and the ease with which the aquaria are maintained. From All Over World. Many kinds imported into the United States are sold and shipped almost the length and breadth of North America—from Florida to Canada and from Massachusetts to California—but hundreds equally beautiful and interesting are as yet unknown to the fancier. The happy hunting grounds for toy fishes, explored and unexplored, range in the western hemisphere from the Carolinas south through Florida, and from Mexico through Central America, Panama and South America to the most southerly point of Argentina. In the eastern hemisphere. Egypt and other parts of Africa, Australia and Asia—including the island groups of the Malay Archipelago, India, China, Siam and other countries—have been drawn upon for the supply of dwarf fishes appearing in the home aquaria of the Occident. Their habitat is chiefly the swamp the ditch, the rain pool, the rice field, clear mountain streams and stagnant lowland waters, ponds, brooks, lakes, rivers and estuaries; but some either make migrations to the coasts or live perennially in brackish or wholly salt water. Oceanic species thus far kept in American aquaria have been principally gobles. Tropical toy fishes are of many genera and species and even of many varieties—some natural, others cultivated. Their adult body length measures from 1 inch to 5 inches. The anatomy of the toy fish is not unique. Swim bladders and other organs common to larger fishes are common to them, and their fins are the same—caudal, or tail, fins for swimming and propelling, fins beneath called ventral and anal, and pectorals (behind the gills) for helping maintain the equilibrium; also, dorsal fins (on the back), which indicate moods and physical states—health and contentment when erect, illness and de- pression when lowered. The majority have no sort of protection against enemies except in such teeth as they may possess. Some are so peaceable that a number of species live amicably in one tank; others so quarrelsome that two males cannot occupy the same aquarium, and a male may kill his mate. Some subsist largely on algae, but most favor small water animals, such as entomostracans (the minutest of crustaceans), annelids, and insect larvae. Raw beef, cereals, roe, and shellfish, also dried shrimp and other desiccated foods, appear on their bill of fare, and many experiments have been made with concentrated foods, such as cod liver meal and other glandular products, to ascertain their response to vitamin nutritives—experiments which have confirmed their amenability to a foreign diet and especially to substitutes for the lime, minerals, enzymes and other catalytic agents present in live food, which aid digestion, purify the blood, and keep the skin lustrous. Mouth of Fish Incubator. the majority lay eggs and leave them to their fate, but some carry their eggs in their mouths, taking no food while incubation is in progress, and subsequently caring for the young, which swim back into the mouth at the approach of danger. Some build nests and vigilantly guard the eggs and fry; others bring forth their young alive. Nearly always when the fry receive any care it is given by the father, but in mouth-breeding species it is usually the mother who gathers up the spawn, and among Cichlids, which include the Brazilian half-moon and Mesonauta, both sexes guard the eggs and fry. In yet another species, the Chancho-to, the eggs are hatched in a nest scooped in the sand by the male fish. When able to swim, the young rise and school, the mother leading the procession, the father bringing up the rear. Hazards of Tropicals. The only martyrdom to which the tropicals are subjected is accidental. Some expire from the cold. Occasionally an aquarium is left uncovered and the fishes, many species of which leap like salmon, clear the rim with one jump and dry up on the floor; or an aquarist concerned for their comfort may transfer their tank to a radiator and forget it until they are completely cooked. Exportations of toy fishes from Germany into the United States began nearly 30 years ago, numerous species having been first successfully bred in that country from parent stock captured in its tropical haunts. Though many thousands new are propagated elsewhere, a large percentage of those owned in the United States being "home grown," considerable numbers still are shipped from Germany and South America. The typical German travelling can is of tin, with a capacity of about four gallons, heavily insulated with felt wadding and paper and with an opening in the cover to admit air. Thousands of specimens have traveled safely across the ocean and into the Interior of the United States in these cans, most of the shipping being done between May and October. For conveying by hand or shipping specimens shorter-distances, one-gallon thermos ings are used. Europe boasts permanent and notable exhibits of toy fishs in half a dozen of its public aquariums—those of London, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin Frankfurt and Lelpzig. The United States lays claim to two. That of the Lincoln park aquarium, in Chicago, consists of 58 tanks, showing many brilliant species from the Orient and South America. That of the Steinhart aquarium, in San Francisco, consists of 31 tanks of similar species and, in addition, many brought from Samoa and Hawaii, which display the vivid colors and the fantastic shapes that characterize the fishes of those waters today. The new John G. Shedd aquarium, in Chicago, displays 65 balanced aquaria in a tropical-fish room maintained at a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, stressing beautiful setting and plant life rather than the rarity of the collection. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. MAY 26. 1934 NEW SPRING HATS SHOULD BE SHINY Fashion Leans to Glistening Millinery. The new spring hats glisten like the brand new fenders of 1994 automobiles, with the epidemic of lacquered straws, patent leather, cire satin and stitched taffeta. Patent leather, which moved up from shoes to handbags, now has graduated into millinery, and the impudent new berets and gob hats of shiny patent kid inject a new verve into spring costumes. Spring tailleurs in the all-important navy are topped by pancake sailors and off-the-face Dutch bomets in taffeta and shiny straw, trimmed with bands, bows or pipings of patent leather. A new sailor of the dinner-plate silhouette has the underside of the brim faced in patent leather, with a band to match. Another Breton sailor of navy taffeta has pipings of black patent leather around its port upturned brim. Appliqued squares of patent leather decorate the brim of one of the new cartwheels of shiny straw. And the current headliner in the smootter hat shops is a draped beret of navy patent pin-dotted in red or white. V Just to say that plaids are worn, there is nothing new and interesting about that but to consider plaids as playing a formal evening role, that is different. A very fascinating chapter in the season's record of stirring doings in fashionland, is the debut of gorgeous silk plaids and shimmering sheer plaids and metal patterned plaids on organdie backgrounds into the realm of fabrics for formal nightlife gowns. The handsome plaid in the picture is in black and white. With it is worn a three-quarter black transparent velvet coat with bishop sleeves and a scarf collar. A large rhinestone pin is smart on the scarf and repeats the gleam of the bracelets. New Low Necklines Give Chance to Wear Jewelry Chance to Wear Jewelry News from recent Paris openings show that necklines, in many cases, are lower, which means a revival of the necklace. Some are low or medium V necklaces, some are square. Several houses showed gowns with the boat neckline which is also a good background for a necklace. Ardane showed several evening gowns with beautiful real jewelry, especially a pendant in the form of a circle of diamonds, strung on a braid of seed pearls, hanging to the waist. Maggy Rouff wore at her opening a gold high-necked evening dress slit at the throat with a pearl necklace pulled through and a huge pearl and diamond plaque suspended two inches above the waistline which was placed at normal. Vera Borea used clips and buttons of real sea shells, a decorative and new idea. Lelong's mannequins wore rock crystal and turquoise jewelry, and at Lanvin's showing considerable gold jewelry of the slave type was seen. Schiaparelli also adopted the sea shell motif in clips of galalith. Lyolene showed another type of jewelry at her opening. Particularly notable were open slave bracelets made of polished exotic wood, or of colored galalith. STYLE NOTES A "white summer" is in promise. Pin your Ascot tie with a huge brooch.

LINEN GOLF SUIT By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1930s Litchi is a much talked-about fabric these days. So versatile has the linen theme grown to be it's sheer handkerchief linen for tibs, and soft, heavy, linen for that, and gorgeous plaid or striped linen for your blouse or your new collar and cuff set, and so on and so on, runs the story of linen in season 1334 modes. The three piece golf costume pictured is made of soft sand brown Irish linen. For active sports, this costume has all the features which make it perfect. A separate blouse is fastened to the skirt by means of slots through which one pulls a chic leather belt. Sleeves that are cut out under the arm make it possible to take a good long swing. Leather buttons, four large patch pockets and a red scarf that is worn high at the throat, are the newest fashion notes. FINGERTIP LENGTH COAT WINS PLACE Knitting Craze Produces Interesting Garments. The knitting craze that Mrs. Roosevelt started last year goes on apace, and nowadays it's an unusual debutante who hasn't knitted a complete costume, from dress to handbag. And the smartest knit just now is string—ordinary twine, such as is used to tie up sacks of potatoes. The things they're doing with it you'd never believe. The string knit coat, finger-tip length, loose and casual, is about the best looking garment in the summer-time wardrobe, especially when it fastens with one big wooden button at the neck, has deep patch pockets, and is done in a wide herringbone knit, out of the heaviest string, which is almost big enough to be robe. Fishnet weaves, like the bags they use for oranges in esthetic grocery stores, are new and popular fashion in summer coats and suits for resort wear. They're even finished with the red thread in the selvage. The skirts are wrap-around, and the coats are three-quarter length, with raglan sleeves and straight lines. FLASHES FROM PARIS Lace hats with lace neckwear to match are shown. A lavish use of pleatings, rufflings and fringe is noted on evening frocks. Accessory sets include handbags with matching cuffs made of tiny pasted gay flowers. Designers Are Planning Gowns to Set Off Jewelry Along with dresses built around jewels come frocks created as backwells for striking necklaces or evolved to set off smart belts. They are midseason novelties designed to fill that yawning wardrobe gap until spring fashions arrive on the market. Lelong took a necklace of soft gold wires falling from the throat half way to the waist and created a dinner frock of red violet wool as a background for it. It was cut with long sleeves on the simplest lines in order not to detract from the shimmering necklace. Bruerye evolved an afternoon frock of soft black wool crepe to accompany a choker necklace of green silken rope wound with silver threads. The frock was designed with a plain round neckline which lay smoothly under the closely fitting necklace. Schiaparelli designed a sports frock for southern resort wear around a bright red Chinese lacquer buckle. The material was cotton in red, white and blue, the belt, piping and hat also being of blue.
