Ed dreamed he was at Ford's fun

He with five others were carrying the

''Put this casket on wheels and lay
off five men" he snapped.

" OW do fish manage to live
In the great Sahara desert,
AA on which rain does not fall
nor water flow? The answer IL
that they live underground. in
the subterranean waters which
flow beneath the vast plain of
hot sands with it's wind.carved
dunes and wind-scooped hollows.
But, how did they get there in
the first place? That is harder
to answer. Officials of the Amer.
lean Museum Of Natural History,
who have received some speci-
mems OF these Sahara fish, adj
NIT that the question is puzzling.
The presence Of the under
ground water itself is a surpris-
ing circumstance. Look at a
picture OF the Sahara, with its
sun-scorched surface dotted with
bones drying into dust; recall
stories of caravans, and even
whole armies, perishing of thirst
and suffocation in its burning
sand-storTns and on its parched
steppes. and then try to imagine

pect-f you could expect any, at

Eyes Are Mystery.
That is one OF the mysteries OF
these fish, the fact that they have
eyes and the power Of sight,
though they live in subterranean
waters, thus differing from the
blind fish of the Mammoth Cave
and other well.watered caverns.
The three genera OF these fish,
OF which specimens are to be
seen at the American Museum
Barbus, Tilapia and Hemichromis
bimaculaluel, are all common In
the surface waters Of Africa. But
how did they get across the vast
expanses Of the desert and find
the subterranean streams In which
they now live? Since they have
not lost their eyeaight, argue the
naturalists, It Is ID be supposed
that they have reached their
present abode in relatively recent
times for II they had been there
during geologic ages they would
probably have lost their power Of
seeing.
Though the desert as a whole
IL specifically waterless, zee
there are widely scattered water
holes, where the subterranean
waters touch the sunlighted air,
and It has been suggested that
the eggs Of the subterraneafl fish
were brought from the ,far-off
world of running streams by des-
sert-crossing birds, carrying the
eggs In the mud dried on their
feet, which was left with its slum-
bering life germs In the desert
water holes visited by the birds.

SUGGESTS A
SLOGAN

EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
VENTURE to suggest q slogan
! to be used in your patriotic
fight for Sea Power:
"A second best navy Is a
SECOND best poker hand, costly
and useless"
Every American over fourteen
understands that language and
knows its truth.
II In a few hours Of supreme
struggle, the navy loses, all the
money spent on the navy Is
wasted; IL on the contrary, the
navy wins, any amount Of money
which can be spent on the navy
is returned a hundred fold. There
will be no time for a recon
sideration or for another prepar-
alton, It will take decades to
replace trained officers and
years to replace material.
The fact Of victory or defeat
is established as Of the date Of
the declaration OF war.
The foregoing IL quite appli.
cable now when the budget is
performing its usual surgical
operation on the navy estimates.
However, Navy Day, October 81,
may be a better time.
For success at sea, q balanced
complement Of all arms, they
being mutually interdependent,
battleships, cruisers, destroyers,
submarines and airplaneS, is
absolutely necessary.
