A pair Of little gold fish we're recently
brought TO my home in small povl
containing very little water, some peb-
bles and sand and some of what might
be called marine shrubbery. Such was
the environment in which these pretty
little fish lived. 1t was made for them
BY humans: and they had TO live in 1t
whether or no IL was comfortable and
salubrious for them. They had no
choice.
When they tirst came they were lively
and seemed healthful. But soon they
became listless and their movements
sluggish; the water though changed
daily became scummy-by reason. no
doubt, OF the decaying green stun. The
t,sh frequently came u the surface and
seemed 10 try to get from the ar the
oxygen they could not get from the i'm
pure water: instead OF swimming hor-
lzontally like healthy fish do their bod
les were mouth up. and at an angle
with the surface OF the water.
We thus observed that these fish were
not enjoying life according lto their
nature and in the way II was up to
US" as their hosts TO provide for them
They had not enough OF their element
cle2r water. as was evidenced by Tie
fact that the water soon became i'm
pure, clouded by their eNhalanons and
the factor we have mentioned. Also
our maid kept this little FISH bowl in
the summer sun. which permeated the
green stuff and left no shade whatever;
which is not natural for fish. as any
brook fisherman knows l suppose our
fish guests wanted their place IN the
sun, the same az We do: hut 'heF no
more than We, wanted TO be IN the sun
all the time.
So we changed this environment OF
our rsh TO one to which in all fairness
they were entitled. We got D""I 70

which they had come to us; sanded and

RAILROAD BRIEFS
TERMINAL USES HEAVY
ENGINE FIRST Time

For the hrst time In the history 81
the Wheeling Terminal railway. an en-
CINE OF tho H-l0 type has been sue
cessfully used on the road. For num-
Der OF years back. il was thought by
officials that an H-ten locomotive
could not be run over the Wheeling
Terminal owing 10 the sharp curves on
the road Officials always believed that
this type Of engines would be dangerous
20 run on the system as was presumed
that tho huge engines would break the
rails when goinG around the curves.
However. a few days ago. many officials
were surprised to that an H-l0 engine
ran from Martins Ferry to Benwood
over the Terminal and picked up one
hundred empty cars that were lying
around the National Tube Company and
took them back to tho &. q y. division
Mt Martins Ferry. No rails were brok-
en- and the trip was made successfully
at good speed. Tho fact that an engine
OF the H-l0 type can I've used on the
Whcehn Terminal will. prove big ad-
vantage 10 the road as In former years
II was necessary for all big freights to
be pulled by an He engine which is
much smaller than an Hl0 and in most
cases IL required two engines TO do the
pulling. Now all freights will be ham
died with ono engine. which naturally
will save the company large expense
and will aid shippers TO get their cars
quicker.

Connecticut has raised $67O,2 to date for the suffering children of Central and Eastern Europe, and by so doing has gone lover the top" exceeding its original quota estimate by $20,250.99. Scattering contribu- tions are still being received which will further swell this total The collection was made by the Euro pean Relief council, of which Herbert Hoover is national chairman.

quately carry out the child relief programs. or this amount the Con necticut state committee was asked to raise $650,OOO. Due to the de- crease in the price of food commodi- ties it was later determined that $29,- 00O,00O would carry out the full re- lief programs.
 Of the three big states in the Union which went lover the top" the other two being Minnesota and Michigan, Connecticut leads on a percentage. basis. ranking first in 1 this respect of all the large states in | the Union in this campaign. Never in the history of the state has a charitable appeal met with a more generous and general re- sponse. The appeal of orphaned, homeless, starving children found place in the hearts of all. Men, women and children, rich and poor, of etery race, color and creed gave what they could in humanity's name. Talented men and women devoted their best endeavors. Business, fra ternal and social organizations assist ed and contributed. Clergy of every denomination pleaded the cause with stories of the awful tragedy which has overcome the unfortunate chil- dren. Response came in no uncertain terms. Church collections were most gratifying.
 Fifty-three state committees in the United States and outlying posses sions took part in the collection and the starving European children will get the full benefit of every contri- button made in their behalf. This
 
 of making the collection, which was less than 1-2 per cent was con tributed through outside sources, thus permitting every penny con- tributed to go directly to the relief of the children.
 The Connecticut state committee is highly pleased with the work of the city and town com mmittees and has complimented the local commit tees on their splendid work. The na- tional chairman, Herbert Hoover, has communicated to the state officials his personal appreciation of the Con necticut accomplishm ment for what he terms The greatest humanitar- ian appeal ever presented to the American people"
 The recapitulation of the amounts raised by states shows over SIS, S,000,- 900 in cash and s1,20o.o00 in dcf- mite pledges from community chests, etc. About S2o,OOo,o00 was raised by popular subscriptions. The Red Cross, the Jewish joint distribution committee and the American Relief association contributed $9,200,000. The collection is over and extraor- dinarily successful.
 The European Relief council com prises the American Friends SerV- ice committee, American Red Cross, American Relief administration, Fed eraI Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Jewish Joint Dis trihution committee. Knights of O. lumbus, Young Mems Christian as- sociation and Your Women's Chris tian association. with Herbert liooV- CT as national chairman.
 Senoor Charles NJ. Bakeweu was Connecticut chairman, Frederick w. Kaye of New Haven was state cN- ocutive secretary. Harry V. Whipple, president of the Merchants bank of New Haven was state treasurer.
