A MENACE TO RETAILERS
Secretary Moorehead Of National
Federation Witness Before
Senate Committee.

The parcels post system was denounced
as inimical to the interests Of retailers
generally by J. r. Moorehead, secretary
OF the National Federation Of Retail
Merchants. with 2S5 members scattered
through thirty-tive states. who was the
only witness yesterday before the Senate
Interstate commerce committee. which is
considering antitrust problems.
Mr. Moorehead submitted a statement
as to how the retail organizations In
Canada had been exempted from the pro-
visions OF an antitrust law in thar coun-
try, and appealed to the committee to
investigate the matter before it finally
decided as to amendments. Mr.. Moore.
head said that the greatest opposition to
the retail dealers came from the mail
order houses. and that with the parcels
post system in vogue, II would do nothing
more than to educate the farmer to avoid
the home dealer. The committee ad-
journed until tomorrow.

These specimens are actual fish. painted

temporary. it will make a very attractive
and unusual exhibit. showing the fish with
their bright true-to-nature colors Being
OF an experimental nature and, in fact,
the first attempt Of the museum in this
line, the exhibit is not extensive, but in
cludes seventeen jars and about twenty
five specimens. In the near future, how
ever. this method Of preparing fish will
be given more prominence, and many i'm
provements will be made, especially as to
the backgrounds and surroundings of the
fish.

brief The court will be requested to
pass on the constitutionality OF the
law at an early date. The law was
attacked on the ground that it improp-
erly classified mines, requiring some to
have entries OF not less than certain
width and not so requiring others.
Attorney General Henan, in his brief
Yesterday, declared the classification
was justified, because of the difference
in the difficulties of mining in the

the title in the line to which their rank
entities them. For instance, a pay officer
with the rank of commander will become
a commander in the line. If he should
not qualify for the line he will still be
known as a commander. 1t is estimated
that it will require about fifteen years
to complete the proposed amalgamation.

Paint Mixed With Glue.

The paint used on the fish is of the
ordinary water-color variety. which is
mixed with glue, to make 1t adhere to
the scales and skins of the fish, and,
being submerged in alcohol, is not dis
solved. When a specimen Is to be col
ored 1T is specifically dried and Sc
curely mounted on a board. where it is
kept until the operation is completed.
The paint is applied with a brush in
the usual way. For a model the artist
has a live fish in a jar. placed where it
can be viewed from all sides and with
different lights. SO that all the colors
may be readily observed 1t Is neces-
sary to paint these fishes, in order that
they may look lifelike, since the fish
loses its colors upon death. But with
the especially prepared paint, the fish
assumes a remarkably lifelike appear

Painted at Breeding Time.

1t seems that nearly all fish present
the most vivid colors when they are
breeding. and for this reason, and the
fact that at this time they are more
easily distinguished. and also more at
tractive. the models are then chosen, and
thus the brilliant color scheme can be
reproduced All the specimens in this
collection have been prepared at the
its division of fishes.
Among the fishes exhibited there are
some of unusual appearance. although
they are all from the waters of the
District. A great many of them, never
theless, are fishes also common all along
the coast and inland streams from New
England to Florida.

Perch and Carp.

Two forms Of perch are shown, the
white and the yellow. of which the yellow
is the better and grows to length of
twelve inches, and maximum weight
Of about two pounds.
The carp is also shown in two FORMS
the mirror carp and the scale carp. The
former is quite a good-sized fish, with
only a few large scales. and resembles
the golden fish of old King Midas, while
the other. also golden. has smaller and
many more scales. These fish are not
especially good to eat, but they are some
times used for food. Every one knows
the large-mouthed bass, and few of the
District anglers have not seen evidence
of its gameness The way it's color
changes with the seasons is strange; in
the course of the year the lateral stripes
change from nearly black to an extremely
light green. The bass is, of course, a fine
food. and. fortunately. is abundant In
the streams of the District.
This new group of actual fish from the
District is not only attractive but inStruc-
tive. and prevents one from submitting
himself to the aggravating stories Of his
enthusiastic fisherman friends One can
now see for himself just what fish are in
the river and how large they grow.

Six Forms of Bait Fish.

Naturally the bait fish comes first, since
1t Is so important to the fisherman, and
six forms are represented. Among the
minnows there are the club. or horny
head found in all the larger streams Of
Pennsylvania and westward to Wyoming
and southwark TO Alabama; the satin tn
locally named in science after Analostan
Island; the Sllvery mlnnOW, which grows
to size large enough for food and is
locally called Smelt, and the striped mud
minnOw, which inhaDitS the bottom OF
streams and even burrows into the mud,
is of darker color than the common
variety and is thus rather hard to dis
tinguish. The red-hn dace or sinner is

that is found In both fresh and salt
water. The rosy dace is probably the
most striking in color Of all the minnow-
like fish. having many lateral stripes OF

broad patch of vermil.ion.
There are several varieties of Suntish,
among them the blue spotted sunfish, one
of the handsomest of the Potomac fishes,
being spotted with what appear to be
bright metallic dots in the breeding sea-

another. 1t grows to a length of about
eight inches and is a beautiful and gamy

attractive fish, but is good eating as

SPORTING DEPARTMENT.
VERY PROFITABLE SEASON
FOR MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS
CLOSE RACE IN NATIONAL BIG
MONEY MAKER.
American League Not Far Behind in
Receipts This Season.

The season just closing will so down
I'm the annals of the National league
las the most profitable season in the
history Of the game.
Why? Simply because for the grea-
ter part of the season at least four
and sometimes five teams have been
within reaching distance of the PEN
nant, and the other three teams have
at times been so dangerous that no
game has been credited in the percent
age column until it has. been played.
Result: Freedom has been excited
all over the country as it never has
been before, and no such consistent
crowds have ever been at baseball
games as have paid their good money
to see the National league contests this
season.
The owners of the leading clubs will
make fortunes, and the owners Of the
.tailendcrs need not feel that they will
have TO shovel snow for a living next
winter.
In the American league, also the
bank accounts of the magnatcs are
overlooking, though there have been no
such exciting races as the national
league has shown.
