hundreds OF thousands
Senator johnson said il was offer
ed TO preserve very dear and SEN
timental precedent" and said il did
not offer a loophole such as was de-

case.

said. TO fear the man who leaves
his native land to worship God or
exercise his political rights. / would

sients' long enough TO prove that
this thought about a melting pot
was all a piece OF tomfoolery."

The starhsh never lets anything
get into his stomach. He turns his
stomach inside out and persuades it
10 surround and digest his food.
The things he eats are mainly
mussels. CLANS and similar two
shclled shellhsh.
When a starfsh catches such
shellhsh he bends his arms about
. and takes hold OF the shell with the
hundreds OF little sucker feet that
cover the lower surface OF each arm.
: Usually the mussel is no tenthusi-
astic about being eaten and keeps
his shells closed together.
= But the starhsh has, other ideas.
Tho pull of his sucker feet upon the
mussers shell is not very strong by
human standards. but il is very con-
slant
Ultimately the mussel opens his
-shcll a trifle to take a peek or get a
breath of water and II stays open by
Just that much. The stariish has
got his toe in the crack.
Presently he gains another hun
dredth of an inch and keeps pulling.
= Where food is concerned he is as
patient as a cat at a rat hole and
when he has .once got hold OF a
mussel Il is all over but the funeral.
So soon as the mussel abandons
the fight and opens up altogether
the starfsh begins TO operate his
stomach.
This is located on the underside
OF the central portion of the starfish
al
side.
II you are so fortunate as to find
a starfish in the act Of dining you
will see the membrane which is the
stomach thrust out from the cavity
which usually holds 1t and into or
