 Several practice sessions will be held this week and the Blues will
 have their strongest lineup in the fold Sunday afternoon. The kickoff will take place at 2:30 o'clock.

Young Fishes Hatched
in Mouth of Mother

The female of small fresh-water
fish found in Egypt, known as the
mouth-breeder, protects her eggs by
carrying them in her mouth, where
they remain until the young ones
hatch out; but the habits Of some of
the perch-like fish called cichlids are
even more remarkable, for not only
do the females take their eggs into
their mouths, but they also carry
their young ones within this strange
shelter. The fry do not leave their
nursery until they are about a fort
night old, but the mother eventually
liberates them from their somewhat
confined quarters and allows them to
swim about outside. They do not ven
ture far, however. keeping quite close
to their parents head. and darting
into her mouth again at the least sign
Of danger. They also pass the night
within this safe retreat.

Proof That Egyptians
Sought Fountain Pen

An early attempt to devise a foun-
tain pen has been disclosed by exca-
vations in an Egyptian tomb dating
back more than 1000 years. The prim-
tive instrument consisted of a Sec
ton Of reed the diameter Of a lead
pencil, about three inches in length
and mounted on a long piece Of cop
per. The nib Of the pen is cut away
to fine point like an ordinary quill
pen. The narrow tube of the reed
served to hold in reserve q small
quantity Of the writing fluid, what
ever 1t may have been.
The earliest writing fluid, 1t Is now
thought, was probably applied by
means of a brush in Egypt and in
China. The brush required frequent
dipping into the fluid so that may have
led to the idea Of q pen which would
hold a considerable amount Of fluid
even at that early date.
