day appointed the following persons
as licensing officers in Colorado in
connection with the enforcement Of
the new Federal Explosives Regula-
tion act: l.. NJ. Markham, county

others in each county.
The law goes into effect November
10, and provides that all persons hav-
ing use for explosives must first OBJ
tain from the licensing officers in his
county a license stating the manner in
which the explosives are to be used
and assuring the officer that the ex-
p!osives will be properly accounted

Fish Carries LIauld Clouds.

The squid is crafty little denizen
Of the deep. This cuttlefsh isn't much
of a fighter. as fighters go, so he has
been forced to provide some means of
protecting himself from the myriads
Of voracious fish that lnhabit the deep
sea where he lives. There is a small
pouch in which he carries an Intensely
black fluid. On the approach of an
enemy he squirts out some Of this
liquid and surrounds himself with n
black cloud, in which he hides from
his pursuing enemy. Because Of the
nature Of the fluid he excretes. he Is
sometimes termed the lnkfish.
