MANY FISH NAMES,
 COOKS CARRY PICTURES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. (P) "A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but fishes are diff ferent, according to the whole sale-and retail--c plain S which resulted recently in the publication of a who's who" among fishes of California, re- ports bulletin of the American Game Association.
 The division of fish and game thru it's state fisheries laboratory, issued the booklet to clear up confusion growing out of the. fact that often the same species had collected several names and like wise one name had often become attached to several different spe- cies. The chaos had grown so acute that no housewife was able to tell a dealer exactly what she wanted, and no dealer could un- derstand even if she did.
 Now both may refer to the handsome photographs in the booklet. And the department has advised anglers to do the same before relating stories of their catch, as "belief-insurance".

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

 children's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag' plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigzag" income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the Sav- ings bank drawing per cent in terest While it is true that money was put there for rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $40 or $40 or even $1OO of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being true American and realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take a chance. Bill is a cautious fel- low and wants to speculate. but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out chance to specu- late with the safety of a flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the we'll he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in big, Bill should make profit of 10 times his investment If he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over a period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making a real fortune if the new we'll comes in good He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what he does when he accepts our Spe- cial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another.
 Write us for full information, but better still-nail us $20, $100, or even $200, and share in our next dividend. If you are like Bill Jones, we might help you. E. M. ThOmassOn & Co.,. Inc.

Negro, White Reformists Spur

Reconciliation admitted the lynching

increase in the terror against the

Like Walter White and Pickens,
Kester defends the boss courts which
framed up these children, but attacks
the revolutionary Negro and white
workers who have protested vigorous
ly against this frightful crime. In
his letter, he warns against the
growing influence of the Communists
among the Negro masses. He attacks
the militant methods of the Commu-
nists in exposing the Scottsboro
frame-up and in rallying the inter-
national working class to the mass
fight to free the boys. The Commu-
nists, he says ,''are trying to bulldoze
the state" Ignoring the fact that 1t
was only this mass protest which
stayed the mrderous hands Of the
southern boss lynchers and forced a
stay in the executions set for last
July, Kester writes:
ITO my mind the N.A.A.C.P. and
the Interracial Commission fol-
lowed the only logical and political
method they could under the exist
ing circumstances. without the
Communists, I believe the N. A. A.
G. p. could get something that
would approximate the reasonable
but never Justice"
And the reasonable, in Kester's ex-
pressed opinion, is IL or is years or
most likely it will be life inprison-
ment" for these innocent working
class children, caught in the net of
a murderous frame-up while en-
gagged in the hopeless hunt for work.

by Howard, Kester the cooueration OF
these traitors with the Alabama lynch
courts isafnade clear for those COM
paratively few workers who may still
be deceived by their lies. Kester, APP
pealing for funds, writes:
