there Isl none of this waste. The
mothers mouth is the most secure
of cradles. Nothing can happen to
the young fish while the mother re-
mains alive, and their great enemies
are other small fish which could not
make a meal of the parent.
The father mouth breeder takes no
part in this protection, but it is quite
different with another new arrival at
the Zoo, the tiny Indian bass. In
this case the mother lays the eggs
in a clam shell or flower pot and
then pays no more attention to them.
The father, however, stays with them
and matches them by tanning them
with his fins.
Both of these fish are rare in this
country but have been bred for many
years in Germany for European
aquariums, and now are attracting
the attention of American fish
breeders

URGES ST. 900, 900 FUND.
Unemployment Reserve Is Advo-
Gated by Pepper.

a plan for the creation of a 81 ,O0G,-
900 prosperity reserve" fund for ex-
pendture on public works in time of
slack employment was outlined by
Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania to d
subcommittee of the Senate appropria-
tons committee yesterday.
The committee, however. took the
position that the suggestion consti-
tuted a matter for new legislation
rather than as an amendment to the
$12S, 900, 900 agricultural appropriation
bill under consideration.
That the. suggestion was one Of ma
tional importance, Pepper said, was
indicated by the fact that President
Coolidge had Endorsed the general idea
in a public utterance more than a
year ago and that the same general
policy had been Endorsed By Demo
Gratis.

Tiny Fish Which Carries Young in Mouth,
Native of Egypt, Comes to Capital Zoo

The latest curiosities to arrive at
the Zoo are pair of Egyptian mouth
breeders.
These are tiny fish, less than two
inches long. After the eggs are laid
the mother takes them in her mouth
and matches them. Then the little
fish, almost microscopic in size, re-
main in her mouth for about a
month. They swim out at night to
obtain food.
This is one of the most curious
contrivances for infanti1e protection
IN the whole animal world, 1T was
explained at the Zoo. In nature the
mortality of young fish is enormous
and generally the survival of the
species depends upon the fact that
so many eggs are laid that some of
the offspring are almost certain to
live to maturity.
With the mouth breeder however,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
"THE CHAFF FROM THE
WHEAT"
By JEAN NEWTON

sGT o SEPARATE the chaff from
1 the wheat" is phrase that Is
frequently heard in modern speech to
express distinguishing between the
false and the true, the worthy and
the worthless.
Chaff is the straw and other waste
in wheat and grains which by thresh-
ing and winnowing, are sifted down
and removed to purify and prepare
the harvest for the process by which
it becomes the "staff Of life, the bread
on our table The first step is sep
arating the chaff from the wheat" the
refuse from the food kernel.
From the parlance of the farm the
term found its way into general speech
where the mediator in an argument, in
an effort to sift the matter to useless
talk and get down to fundamental
facts, viii sometimes say: "We must
separate the chaff from the wheat"

ADVENTURES

For years Earle had been playing
Indian. When he was quite, quite
young he had been given an Indian
suit which had started him off on his
adventures.
He had had adventures, too
1t was really remarkable but so
often when he had put on that suit
the adventures just seemed to come
rushing in at him, bidding him leave
whatever he was doing for there were
excitements to be had.
And Earle had had excitements.
There had been the time when there
was the fire in the woodshed and he
had discovered it and had had to
think quickly in order to save the
whole house from catching fire.
If he had taken the time to rush up
the street to let people know there
was a fire or to get the fire depart
ment, the woodshed fire would have
been well under way and the wooden
house would have never been saved.
Earle had been alone in the house,
and he had put the fire out by him
self, put it out enough, at least, so that
it was safe to put in an alarm and to
summon others to make sure that it
did not spread and that it was not
smoidering.
He had been praised for that, and
he had deserved praise.
But he remembered that dreadful,
long, long moment when he had first
discove. Ell the fire and when he had
wondered what he should do.
How dreadful it would have been If
he had lost his head in the excitement
and had done the wrong thing
No one knew how hard it had been
to decide then and there in twink
ling as he had decided.
How thankful he was that he had
decided correctly.
Well, he had been wearing his In
dian suit then and he had somehow

qHE WHY of

By H. IRVING KING
STANDING BY THE TABLE

IN RURAL New England people
seated at table, eating, object to
having another person pause and stand
beside the board even should he only
pause for second to say some nee
essary word. AS rule it Is a stran-
ger with whom this action is deemed
especially Objectionable. The writer
discovered this by making the afore-
said .'break." On inquiring subse-
ouently as to the wherefore of the
objection, some people said that it lis
very bad manners; others that 'it
brought bad luck, and still others
could only say that 1t sis one of the
things that isn't done" The idea
seemed surprisingly widespread among
a certain class Of people, a general
feeling that, for some unknown rea-
son, such an act should be always
avoided.
Ii was evidently real superstition.
which was thus stumbled upon. Its
origin is obvious. 1t is survival of
the idea of primitive man with regard
to shadows, an idea which is found
today existing in full force among
savage and backward races and can
be traced in many popular super
stitiops among civilized peoples Our
primitive ancestors regarded a mans
shadow as a vital part OF himself-a
sort of astral body an exterior
sonl." To have a persons shadow fall
upon one was a sort of projection Of
the shadower's personality upon the
Swallowed. This projection was, as q
rule, considered to be malevolent In
its effect. A person pausing by a ta-
BILE at which people are eating is liable
to cast his shadow over both food and
eaters which is bad, especially If he
is q stranger, for with the ancients,
strangers and enemies were synono-
nous. terms Hence the superstition
mentioned above, one of those sur
vipals which have outlasted for long
centuries all knowledge Of their origin
and meaning by the people who still
cherish them.
