Fish Flappers
Jazz Selves
Out of Breath

HEAVY casualties to Wash
Ill ington,s only school Of
trained jazz fish were re-
ported yesterday from the
palm garden Of +. H. Kra-
mer at 914 r street. Last
night as the orchestra played,
the piscine performers were
Tapping q wicked fin around
the confines Of their three
tanks. This morning a third
Of them were found lying on
the floor In the stiff and
formal attitude Of an early
Victorian dining-roorn mural.
The glass In one Of, the
aquariums had broken and
their watery home was no
more.
The jazz fish proved them
selves of marvellous vitality,
however. Some Of them were
still Hopping about in pud-
dies on the floor and were
restored TO the remaining two
tanks. So brilliant are the
Kramer fish that they might
readily be taken for gold
diggers. But love of jazz
strains lis their only worldly
weakness. AS long as the
band plays, their evolutions
are extraordinarily rapid. It
is said, much to the edifica-
tion of dancers.
