 In a natural state the African lung fish is about eighteen inches long, but when kept in aquariums and fed the year round, instead of lying dormant for lack of water, they grow to be two feet and a half long and weigh six pounds or more.
 It is a fact that there are fish which cannot swim. A Brazilian fish, called the maltha, can only crawl or walk or hop. It has a long, upturned snout, and resembles, to an extent, a toad. The anterior fins of the maltha are quite small, and are not able to act on the water. They are in reality thin paws, which are of no service for swimming.

 The thirty per cent advance in teach CTS salaries granted by the Phoenix schools looks good to the T. N. s. grad uates. Other schools about the state must do likewise or they will find that the best teachers are unobtainable. Most teachers agencies this year are enrolling candidates free of charge, so pressing is the demand upon them for recruits to the profession. A teacher with good qualifications can usually have the choice of two or three offers.

IS CANCELLED CHECK RECEIPT

Does an indOrSed and cancelled check always constitute a valid receipt for payment of a bill? An article in the American Printer quotes a judicial opinion to show that it does not. s'Un- less the checks show upon their face for what purpose they were given, or there is some other positive evidence as to the transaction to which the checks were referrable," says the court, i've think the burden continues upon the party pleading payment to show that the checks were given in payment of account" Tn this case cited the printer had to pay the s100 in dispute, which according to his claim he had already paid. The remedy suggested is to write on the face of the check the date and amount of the invoice in pay ment of which it is giyen.-Outlook.

A FISH THAT GRoWLS

What ichthyologists decribed as the most wonderful fish in the world looks more like a reptile than a fish It cries like a cat, and is also able to growl But even it's voice is not the strangest thing about the puzzling crea- ture. It has lungs, and puts it's head out of water, opens its mouth and breathes air into them, just as a land animal does.
 Lungfish are a link between reptiles and fiShes-the nearest of kin to the stock from which fishes and reptiles both sprang. They are found in South America, in Africa and in Australia: m fossil times their relatives were scat tered over the whole world

Protectine the Mudauards

In making extensive engine repairs or adjustments it often happens that the mudguard or fender will be bent and otherwise marred This may be prevented by making cover of some heavy material, oilcloth or imitation leather of some kind, which will cover the fender from it's tip to the place where it is fastened to the running board

Carbureter Adjustments

In making carbureter adjustments the engine should be at normal run ming speed before any work is at tempted. This is particularly true in cold weather. Adjustments made on a cold engine will probably not be effective when the power plant has warmed up to it's proper running temperature.

Rim Adjustment

It is very important after a tire has been changed that the rim shall be properly replaced. In this con- nection it is not good practice to tighten each lug fully before going on to the next. The proper way is to tighten one lug a little, then the one opposite a little and go on until they are all snugly in place. If each lug in turn is frightened all the way the rim is likely to go on a little askew, and this makes for squeaks and gen. eral looseness, perhaps to the extent of the rim working off.

OWNERS, SERVICE DEPARTMENT

O.-Is it possible that single cell of a storage battery being out of order the whole unit will fail?
 A.-If one cell were completely dry 1t might cause a short circuit that would put the whole battery com pletely out of business.
 Q.-I have been informed that gaso- line is bad to use for cleaning the top of my car. Can you suggest something that is effective and yet will not damage the material?
 A.-Yes. Soapsuds and water are the best cleaning agent. Rub the suds all over the top and then rinse in clear water. Use good castillo soap. Gasoline. kerosene, etc, attack the rubber that is in most top materials.
 Q.-I am having continual trouble with my storage battery, although l have followed the makers directions and have kept it filled with distilled water. Could there be any trouble in the generator?
 A-Yes. The trouble probably is caused by the generators charging rate being incorrect. Perhaps you drive a lot at night, using current for lighting and also for starting. Con- suit the nearest battery station of the make you have, where an expert will adjust the charging rate to take care of the service you demand of the bat tery.
 Q.-In an article which I read i'll this paper recently it was said that a car could be made to weigh 1000 pounds and carry five. passengers. Last week I saw an ad of a car weigh ing HOO pounds and costing S1,100. made in Buffalo, I believe. I also read that in England they have a lot of such cars. What do you think of the HOO pound car? Can you give me the name of some others like 1t, for I am interested in such economi cal cars. Do you think they will live up to their claims?
 A.-The article I wrote was of a general nature and showed the desir ability of light weight, and how even tually such cars would be plentiful in our market. I am not familiar with the car costing S1 per pound, but you can judge it by remembering the prin- ciples mentioned in the article. It is true that England makes num- Der of light cars, but they could not be used on our roads, and besides they would cost too much in this | country. As yet I do not know of any 1 light cars to recommend.

Watch the Oil

Car owners should be watchful to prevent the formation of oil puddlcs in the small depressions in the floor of the garage. Oil is a deadly enemy of rubber and an oily garage floor will do more to destroy a set of tires than hundreds of miles of actual service.

Handling Spares

Many car owners have found that 1t is best to give the spare tire an occa- sional dose of work. That is to say, shift the tires around so that each one in turn gets a chance to act the part of spare. Light and atmos pheric conditions have an i'll effect on rubber and in actual practice be- ing carried as a spare probably has a more damaging effect on q tire than actual service.

WOMEN SEEM SURE Of VOTE
 BY APRIL IST
(By United Pressl

Washington, March Suffrage leaders here are confident that the Nineteenth amendment to the feder- al constitution giving women the right of suffrage on the same terms as men throughout the nation will have been ratified by the first of the coming month.
 The victory for suffrage which was expected to be consummate ted in the West Virginia legislature before the close of the day will bring the total number of states r;.tifying the amend ment to 34, only two less than the re- quired two-thirds majority of all the states.
 The legislatures of the states of Del aware and Washington have both been called to meet this month for the purpose of considering ratification of the suffrage amendment. Ratification by the state of Washington, which is already suffrage state, is regarded as certain, and suffrage leaders are also confident of favorable action by Della ware. The adoption of the amend ment will add approximately 6,000,- 900 to the nations voting strength, to be boiled at the November cleo tions this year.

BITTER FIGHT ON
 SUFFRAGE IS WAGEI
tBv United Pressl

Charleston, w. Va, March 10.- Suffrage workers and anti-suff1age leaders are warming up for a bitter battle which will begin at o'clock this afternoon, when the federal wo- man suffrage amendment again comes up for consideration in the West Vir- .ginia senate.
 The amendment failed of ratica- tion last Saturday on a tie vote, IA to II. Senator Jesse Block, who was absent and who favors suffrage, raced across the continent on special trains from Los Angeles, arriving here early today, to break the tie.
 The first move of the antis this afternoon was expected to be an at tempt to seat Senator Montgomery an aVowed opponent of suffrage. Sen ator Montgomery moved from this state to another state, but it is claim ed that he is still entitled to a seat as the governor has not accepted his resignation. Should he be permitted to vote, the ratification of the suffrage amendment would again fail on an other tie vote
