Science

One Of Lewis CAROLS famous jim
giles says: You must walk a little
faster, said the whiting to the snail;
there's a porpoise on behind US and
he's treading on my tail"
Science has found that the whit
ing was right-that the porpoise is
always treading on the tails of other
fishes and is perhaps their most dan
gerous enemy.
DR.. John Schmidt Of Copenhagen,
Denmark, has made a study Of the
porpoise and its devastating effect
upon schools Of fish. He found 49,
600 ear stones Of fishes in the stom-
ach Of one porpoise caught off the
coast of Spain. Examination of these
ear stones showed the majority of
the fish caught and eaten by the
porpoise We're four years old.
Seen from the deck of a ship a
school Of porpoise is an interesting
sight. It is commonly thought that
they are playing, but their great ac-
tivtty is due to the fact that they
have found a school of fish. 1t is
believed that they are the greatest
agency in curtailing the supply of
fsh-food.

Dad: s Lunch Box
BY HAROLD COCHRAN

by HAROLD COCERAN
It's only a tin, or a leather affair,
but it answers the purpose for dad.
It holds what is needed, so why
should he care if it's not quite the
best to be had?
It's filled every morn and it's
handed to him. There's surprise,
cause he hasn't a bunch what food
mothers packed till it's filled to the
brim, but he'll know when he sits
down to lunch.
Imagine the feeling when noon
hour arrives and cautiously off
comes the lid. Why, honestly, dads
have the time of their lives when
they're finding the food that's been
hid.
a sandwich of cheese and a corner
of pie and a pork chop, the search
ing viii bring. Whatever it is, it's
treat for the eye and a meal that is
fit for a king,
1t isn't so much what the lunch
box may hold but the fact that it's
packed up with care. The truth Of
it is, when the story is told is that
Nom put some sentiment there.

N the past few weeks I have

gion on the poppy. The statement
was made that the poppy was the
official flower of the American LIE

This statement is untrue. The
poppy is the official flower Of the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars and was
adopted by that organization at the
same time the daisy was adopted by
the Legion as their official flower.
The first poppy used by the V. F.
W. was the French poppy made by
widows and orphans Of devastated
areas of France. Conditions in those
areas of France after the war war
ranted outside help and the Ameri-
can soldiers, The V. f. w" who
