FISH SCALES ONCE VALUABLE
Greatly In Demand In Days Gone BY

Among unconsidered tribes may be
included the scales OF fish. or value
and utility TO the owner during it's so
journ in the vastly deep. the scales are
ignored after capture as good only
for the manure heap, But it was not
ever thus. In days gone by fish
scales possessed a real value. notably
those of roach. bleak, dace and white
bait. Older writer's tell US how the
scales OF these fishes were collected
and used in the manufacture OF neck
laces. earrings and such-like orna-
ments. The Thames fishermen used
to catch the fish, take off the scales.
and throw the body back into the
river.
pigment was obtained by treating
the scales in certain fashion, white
bait being the most popular fish used
tor the purpose. So great. formerly.
was the demand at times that the
price OF quart OF fish scales varied
from one to 1--WE guineas. This treat
nent OF fish scales for making small
personal adornments IL attributed to
the French. A Partisan artist one
winter. it Is said, used thirty hamper
fuls OF bleak scales in the course OF
manufacture. Today. however. the in
dustry Is practically extinct.-London

Legend tells of Hindu faker who

self rich selling plain wicker baskets
In the streets OF Calcutta.
The peculiar virtue of the baskets.
he explained to the buyers. lay in the
fact that. II one filled his basket with

receptive attitude OF mind. and stirred
them with stick for an hour. each
and every pebble would be TRANSMITTED

The baskets were sold. but the idea
OF hippopotamus was SO firmly fixed
in the minds OF all the purchasers that
not one OF them ever had legitimate
grounds ON which to demand his
money back.

By Allen Sinsheimer

Z you may think that you know

prisons. You may believe Grim
finals should be feartully punished
suffer many horrors and should be
denied privileges
You may be certain that convicts
decently treated, reasonably fed,
granted some privileges, would be
eager to commit more crime, willing
to risk prison again, filled with con
tempt for society
l should like to change your view
If you feel that way
You will not waste your time II
you will observe two prisons. one Of
which shall call Usual prison, at
Typical City. and Indiana state pris-
on. at Michigan City. Think of the
men confined there, why they came
and how they leave. Think of how
