FACTS ABOUT
GOLDFISH

TNHERE are two facts that owners
l. OF live goldfish need to know.
One is that fish, in general, live
where there Is plenty Of shade and
their eyelids are entirely absent.
Therefore, when fish are put into
transparent globes which admit all
the light there is and from all di.
rections at once, fish cannot cover
their eyes and cannot find a shady
place in which to hide. Small OBJ
jects, such as water plants, float.
ing pieces Of wood, and stones, or
castles sold by stores, can be
put. into the bowls to make
shadows.
The other Is that there Is air in
the water where fish live in ma
ture. Aerated water is a neces-
sity for life for fish. Water in
globes is still and free from air
and needs aerating by means OF
water plants and fresh poured wa.
ter. The use of a syringe forcing
bubbles into the water is still bet.
ter. Growing water plants are
most desirable.
The water must be changed reg
uIarly. Fish in still water In globes
swim around with gaping mouths,
gasping FOR breath, and may soon
actually smother for lack OF air.
People who enjoy, seeing fish In
globes and who allow children to
enjoy watching them. will do well
to consider the virtue Of kindness
to animals, even, toward goldfish.
They may, on second thoughts, de-
eide that the possible injury to
children when amused by the sight
Of live animals in confinement in
unnatural conditions, Is of even
more importance than considera-
ton of fish.
These statements Of fact have
been verified by one Of the high
est authorities on fish,

up his sleeves and plunged into

For fifteen minutes he laboured

 Federal Judge Killits of Toledo last week performed great public service in reaffirming and re-emphasizing fundamental of English jurisprudence His admonition is timely in these hectic days of faulty legislation and group tyranny and oppressons
 Federal prohibition enforcement officers had entered and searched the home Of q citizen with out warrant Said Judge Kiits "The time has come for this Court emphatcaily to lay down ta prohibition men the fact that there is a higher md more sacred law than the Volstead Act er any prohibition law. and that s the sane.ity of the hafae.

 In days to come men shall marvel tha. q free people submitted to such super government, such perverson of religion, such devastating dom nanoy as has characterized the people of America since the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment and the enactment of the Volstead law.

FIELD IS WIDE OPEN.

Admittedly all sides, the field for the Re- publican nomination for President is wide open. The last. lingering doubt as to whether Presi- dent Coolidge meant what he said last August has been swept aside. From now henceforth [. the day upon which the victor in the contest emerges from the National Convention next sum 1t is open fight in which, from early appearances promises 10 have many entrants and to produce convention filled with enough thrills to satisfy even the most blase and ease-hafdea d political observer.
 It is assured that Senators Curtis and NH's win not have fhe lists to themselves. Already Ex-Governor F o Lowden of Illinois. of his friends. are moving and not toe quietly r. es- cape notice fo corral stray delegates as well as entire State delegations While he is not a favorte son t is not altogether hapossiho that his fata wiil he that reserved for candidates Of that type And there VIII be numerous favorite sons all hoping for the political ight- ming to strike optimists 10 the lasi minute. but ready for tho sacrifice if if a demanded op tho altar Of their party.
 In Viee-President Dawes and Secretary IooY- CT observers see the two candidates whose names are liklest to conjure with in the Kansas C ty deliberations As early as mid November, poli- ticians in New York State, where long Experience has taught them the wisdom of keeping their ears close to the ground at all times, caught the rumbings of Dawes movement. Support CTS of Secretary Hoover as well friends of Charles Evans Hughes came to the alert, eager to discover it's and guage it's possible strength. Vice President Dawes has since then declared he is not candidate for the nomina- tion No one doubts his sincerity But this is not to say that he would not consent to accept the nomination if it were to come to him as a compromise candidate after the con vention had failed to agree
 It is coming to be accepted in many quarters that MT Dawes will succeed to the Lowden strength if the latter fails of securing a ma jority. In ease of such heirship, coming after long, drawn out balloting when the delegates are weary and faced with factiona differences that might le disastrous to the campaign, it is not impossible that sufficient number of fav- orite son delegates would get on the bandwagon to give him a majority. The history of past political conventions is not without instances of such nature
 These eventualties, however, are pure s-ecg lation Any mans guess is good as another seven months before convention time. With the President definitely out of the race. today Sec retary Hoover is leading the field even though he is not actively a candidate for the nomina- ton. And with this head start he may go into the convention with enough following to give him clear sailing right through to victory.

Twelve days in which to shop for those remembranees which pass between rela- tives and friends and among families to brighten the holiday for them.
