this purpose. On the strength Of its
showing on the proving ground and

Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president OF
General Motors, said:

with 1858 cars in August, 1925.

ring true, we may expect some OF
these to combine in the fight for ex-

standpoint, this isn't relished. From

lMOUTH-BREEDER FISH, GRADED
IN JAW, ARE MATCHED AT ZOO
Is Rare Specimens Will Be Left to Care for
Selves Soon, So Mother Will Not
Eat Them.

The mouth breeder fish. which
matches it's eggs and then cradles it's
young in Its mouth, has just pre-
sented to the Zoo n family of approx
mately Is offspring, as near as they
can be counted.
This is the first time since COM
ing to the Zoo that this Egyptian
fish has demonstrated its peculiar
maternal practice that makes 1t
unique. The cradle of the young fish
is the mothers lower jaw. which
swells up for the purpose as If 1t
had an liberated tooth.
The mother is about the size of
a very small goldfish. The young are
a few inches from the mothers
mouth and collect microscopic frag-
ments OF food in the water. which
they devour when they return to
their cradle.
Good Mother Until Hungry.
For a few days the mouth breeder
is an affectionate mother-until it
gets hungry. Then. If it has d
chance, she will make square meal
Of her family. She will be taken
out of the aquarium and the young
left to take care of themselves in
about three days.
New arrivals at the Zoo this week
were pair of South African Zebras.
There are seven or eight different
sorts of zebras, of which the South
African variety is one of the best.
Dr. William NJ. Mann, director of
the Zoo, has just received word that
pair Of Galapagos turtles recently
purchased in Holland have been sent
to-Germany and now are at Hamburg
awaiting transportation to the United
States. These giant turtles. found
only on the desolate Galapagos Is
lands off the coast of Ecuador, are
becoming very rare and DR.. Mann be-
lieves that the present pair probably
are the last which ever will be for
sale.
1t is expected that one of the
eventual steps in the development of
the Zoo will be construction of rep
tile house scientifically constructed to
produce conditions of light and tenn
perature under which these turtles
may breed. In this event it will be
possible to save from complete eXtinc-
ton one of the most intevesting of the
reptile family.
The Galapagos turtle has nothing
to worry about and never moves eX-
cept with very sluggish walk. The
nervous system is of a low order and
consequently these animals probably
approach the nearest to immortality
of anything in the animal world.
They do not grow old. Once they

KILLING EXPLAINED
BY MRS. KERR|CK
Sobbing and Painting, Widow
of Slain Film Cowboy De-
nies Firing Gun.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Los ANGELES. May 21.--Mrs
Sarah Kcrrick, taking the witness
stand in her own defense, today pic
tured the killing of her husband. Tom
kerrick, as resulting from the ac.
cidental discharge of q revolver, for
possession of which members of the
drinking party at the kerrick home
were scrambling in the tiny breakfast
nook. Sobbing. fainting and giving
way to near hysteria, the widow, who.
with four others. is charged with the
film actors murder, stoutly denied the
States charge that she did the shoot
ing.
When she concluded her narrative.
her condition was such that neither
attorneys for the other defendants. nor
the district attorneys prosecutors
deigned to subject her to cross s-exam
ination. Court then was adjourned
until o'clock Monday morning.
Others Are Charged.
Those charged jointly with Mrs.
kerrick are Henry Isabel. Anita Davis
and Iris Burns. all small-part players
in motion pictures. and Joe Hunt, who
came from Arizona for a fling at
Hollywood's night life.
1t was Hunts revolver. which pre-
vious witnesses said was in Mrs. ker-
rck's hands. that killed the film cow
boy. after a night-long orgy April 8,
at which police declared gallon of
'moOnshine" was consumed.
Mrs. kerrick said that prior to the
shooting, her husband and Isabel en-
gagged in a quarrel in the living room
of the Kerrick flat. She got posses.
sion of the revolver, she said. and took
1t to the kitchen lest trouble should
result from the fracas. Her husband
and other members of the party. how
ever, pursued her into the kitchen,
trying to get it from her, and she.
Miss Davis, Isabel and kerrick tum.
bled in heap into the breakfast nook.
Scramble Took Place.
During the scramble, she said, the
gun was discharged. She saw her
husband lying on the floor with blood
flowing from wound in his chest.
She denied testimony of previous wit
nesses that she knelt on the floor by
her husbands side and said:
Tom, I didn't mean to do it.
The widow denied further the testi-
mony given by Miss Burns yesterday.
in which the latter said Mrs. kerrick
and her husband engaged in a quarrel
prior to the shooting and that after
being knocked down, Mrs. kerrick
remarked: Tom never will know how
close he was to death then"
II never threatened to shoot him."
she cried from the stand, because
loved him, loved him dearly"
