Ancients Named Fishes
Well Known to Anglers


Few fishermen have ever given
thought to the derivation Of the na.nes
Of the fishes which they know 30 well.
There are host OF fishes named aft
or the animals they resemble, such az
the dogfsh and catfish. The deriva-
ton Of the names sunfish and bluegill
IL obvious, but where did the word
trout come from?
Trout was originally tructa, which
in turn is lost In q very old Greek
word, meaning eat or gnaw, says Will
liam Beebe In his book "The Log Of
the Sum-" Perch harks back to the
Latin perca, and the Romans had it
from the Greeks, among whom 1t
meant spotted. The Romans said mi
nutus when they meant small, and
nowadays when we speak of any very
small fish, we say minnows.
The pike is so named from the
sharp-pointed snout and long slim
body, bringing to mind the old-time
weapon Of that name, while pickerel
means doubly little pike. the ter
and "el" being diminutives. Smelt
was formerly applied to any small
fish and comes perhaps from the
Anglo-Saxon Smeolt, which meant
smooth. Salmon comes directly from
the Latin salmo, which means to leap.
Sturgeon comes from the Saxon STIR
iga, literally, a stirrer, from the habit
Of the fish to stir up the mud at the
bottom of the water.

End Of "Chartar Oak"

The Charter Oak In Hartford, Conn.,,
was blown down In heavy windstorm
at quarter to one on the morning
Of August Il. 1865. A rough shell Of
stump was left standing about 10 feet
from the ground On the following
day people crowded to see 1t and a
guard was placed to preserve it from
"relic hunters." Colts Armory band
played dirgas and patriotic music over
the fallen monarch for two hours at
noontime. At sundown all the bells In
the city were tolled. A few years la
ter Charter Oak avenue was laid over
the site. The remaining roots were
dug UP and simple slab was placed
In the retaining wall by the avenue.

Missouri Compromise

1t Is quite true that Henry Clay
was not the author OF first Missouri
compromise, passed in 1890, although
be is given credit for a suggestion
which was utilised by the senate In a
bill to admit Maine al free state
and Missouri az a slave state. Az q
result Of this controversy joint
committee was appointed which
agreed to admit Maine and Missouri
separately, leaving tthe Thomas
amendment to the Missouri bill, which
prohibited slavery in all the remainder
Of the Louisiana territory north Of 88
degrees and 80 minutes north lati-
tude tthe southern boundary Of Mis-

DECISION NEAR
On Enormous Relief Meas
ure Backed By Labor

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Vic-
tory for Americas unemployed rolled
nearer this week, with the hour of
final decision approaching rapidly,
as senate committee raced toward
conclusion of hearings on the two
billion dollar measure which includes
a vast sum for public works and self
liquidating projects, and which may
be raised to five billions before final
action
An astounding array of organiza-
tions hammered home to the senate
committee their conviction that action
is imperative.
McGrady Warns Senate
The American Federation of Labor
sent Edward F. McGrady, fiery war
horse, to testify and he told the COM
mittee, amid cheers:
"If congress does not do something
to meet this situation, next winter it
will not be a cry to save the hungry,
but it will be cry to save the gov
ernment."
Bonus expeditionary force leaders
and American Legion leaders found
one point of agreement. While
B. E. F. representative testified, Mark
T. Mckee, executive director of the
War Against Depression, wired that
while the War Against Depression,
sponsored by the Legion, American
Federation of Labor and Association
of National Advertisers had almost
reached its goal of "jobs for mil
lion," unemployment had gained
meanwhile He added
"We feel that the limit of accom-
plishment has been reached unless
prompt action is taken now by the
federal government to save the stu
alton"
Jobs For Two Millions
Mckee estimated the relief bill
would furnish jobs for two millions.
Representative of the Federal
Council of Churches, National Cath
Ollie Welfare Council and Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis joined
in forceful language backing the
measure.
The committee room heard repeated
warnings from almost all witnesses
to the effect that the relief contem-
plated in the pending bill is impera-
tive if unprecedented calamity is to
be averted. Predictions are for pas
sage of the bill.

How to Reduce Wages

THE surest way to force wage:
lower would be to increase the tax
on industries
This is not a statement by a rep
resentative Of business interest. It
was made recently by Senator Borah
of Idaho, who Is not generally re-
garded as q worShipcr OF our
industrial system. And the truth IN
1t Is self-evident. Those senators
and congressman who are now CAM
paigning for greatly increased cor
porate taxes, on the old theory that
the rich should be taxed TO support
the poor, are unknowingly enemies
Of the worker.
In the operation Of any business,
taxes must come first. They are
definite and unacceptable levy. Wages
and dividends follow. There is no
way a business can either maintain
high wages or pay its investors good
dividends without making money. If
an exorbitant part Of that money
goes to government, the other inter-
ested parties will be the losers and
business and jobs will decrease.
In brief, keeping the cost of gov
eminent at reasonable levels would
be the strongest possible influence
in favor of industrial revival, a high
standard of employmnt, and main
tenance Of wage scales.

Do Tariffs Paw?

Comments made recently by the

and after pointing out that nation

rates in an attempt to gain better
economic conditions, it adds that
"the general result =. is almost in
evitably to prolong and seriously to
aggravate the crisis"

lenge to the high-protection school,
and it is not the sort of thing that

Our Vanishing Chins
(Minneapolis Tribune)

A certain DR.. Abt, speaking before
the Chicago Dental society, dis
coursed at length on the probability
that the chin was disappearing as
an outstanding characteristic of the
human physiognomy. A career Of
oral repairing in close proximity to
the chin, has disclosed to him "that
the jaw is diminishing in size and
the teeth are becoming crowded" To
which prophecy we might well in
quire "what Of it,"
We have long since been recon-
ciled to the fact that the human
legs, having ceased, except to show
girls, to be necessity in this era of
automobiles, are liable to drop off
any day, or more likely be modestly
sheathed like they are in the case
Of the whale. In view Of the fact
that our dietary habits no longer
compel US to crunch marrow bones
or gnaw cocoanuts with our teeth,
it has been frequently predicted that
our dental equipment would UNDER
60 an evolutionary degeneration, so
that we will take in our soft, pre-
digested food much after the fashion
Of bilge pump. In fact there is
no end to our physiological super
fluities that are certain to atrophy
at some date a billion or two years
hence.
Just why any one should worry
about the permanency Of the human
chin, when there are such things
as the depression and prohibition at
hand is not any too clear. Any
calm, dispassionate consideration of
the chin must disclose that it is an
entirely unnecessary nubbin on the
human countenance. Its chief serv-
ice within the historic past has been
q place on which to hang whiskers,
but since the time of the Civil war,
it has been proven that chin whisk-
ers have no survival value. Billy
goats being addicted to chin whisk-
ers have demonstrated their ability
to get along with q minimum of
chin equipment.
Outside Of the human race and its
related simian brethren, the chin has
not been so popular. We are so ac-
customed to seeing them, however,
that we have thoughtlessly come to
believe that they are of some impor.
tance in the scheme Of things. The
great American. executive, before
the depression, was supposed to have
: square chin to set off the large
black cigar which, nervously chewed;
indicates initiative, determination,
decision, vision, etc, all Of which
made for prosperity in big way
That myth has gone. the way Of q
great many others in the last three
years. All in all the prospective
disappearance Of the human chin
may be catalogued among the MI
nor worries Of the day. We may
even consider q slightly more
appalling the possibility that the
human surname will some day
shrivel to : difficult monosyllable
like DR.. Abt.

CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON


y When Virginia unveiled its mag
nificent new bronze statue Of Robert
E. Lee the other day on the 125th
anniversary OF his birth. 1t honored
a man who has long since ceased to
be exclusively hero Of the old SOUTH
The famous son Of Virginia, leader
Of the lost cause, belongs to all the
nation now; and the nation, If 1t is
wise, will keep him on his pedestal
for q long time.
For Lee Is quite unlike any OF the
other heroes in our national gallery.
All the others were successful; Lee
was, by ordinary material standards,
q failure. His career was crowned
with defeat instead Of victory. And
1t Is q tremendously good thing for
us to have hero of that kind in our
pantheon.
Success is q thing we all strive
for, and it is only natural that we
should. Our history and our environ
ment have compelled us to admire
the success story. But we have over
done 1t. We have fallen into the
habit of believing that material sue
cess, or the lack Of it, supplies the
only gauge by which mans life can
properly be measured.
The figure of Lee supplies a per-
feet corrective for this attitude.
The man gave himself to cause
that lost. He personified that cause.
BY sheer, dazzling brilliance he came
within q hairs breadth of making 1t
succeed: in the end, when the renaor-
seless force Of circumstances was too
much for him, he went down to de-
feat with it. All that he had fought
for vanished on the march to APP
pomattox. His own career was wreck
ed In the collapse OF the Confederacy.
And yet-failure or no, he was one
OF the greatest OF Americans, and he
occupies . securer position each year.
And his memory IS q living proof of
= profoundly important truth: that
worldly success or failure, after all,
count for very little.
You may remember q wartime
cartoon in Punch: an arrogant kali
ser glowering down from wars de-
ISOLATION Ut Albert Of Belgium, taunt-
ing him "see-you've lost every
thing!" And Albert replies. mot my

Better than Albert, Lee proves the
same point. And the man who can
make that reply has not, in the end,
really lost anything.
