MOVING Of FISH
/. MEETS DELAY

Removal of all the fish from
the old aquarium to the new
aquarium in the Department of
Commerce Building will take
longer than was at first antici-
pated, due to algea and cement
hardening on the walls and
tanks.
Fred G. Orsinger, fresh-water
fish curator, of Chicago, who is
supervising the installation of the
fish, said he is having the new
aquaria scrubbed as quickly as
possible to remove the cement
and algea.
He explained that fish are tenn
peramental and will not eat un-
less the aquarium is sanitary. He
. said, however, that some of the
tanks have been made fit Ind
that several hundred more fish
from the old place at Sixth and
B Streets southwest will be carted
in trucks to the new aquarium
late this afternoon.
Because of@the delay, he said,
it will be 10 days before the fish
in Chicago will be shipped to
Washington.

As a remedy to Danish eczema
and to rid the skin Of pimples,
blotches, and eruptions Peterson's
ointment has been in great demand
for many years-its mighty healing
power is marvellous.
A South Dakota woman writes: "I
have found nothing so good for
itching skin and insect bites as
Peterson's Ointment"
An Iowa woman writes: "It Is the
only Ointment that helps control
my Eczema" and from the State

the head of the narcotic squad
was working to trace back the
drugs to the sources-a never
ending quest that seemingly
succeeds only in spots; the
hardest Of all wars waged by
the police force. There is an
immeasurable distance between
the arrest Of the lowly dope
peddler and the conviction Of
the man higher up. Beneath
the typewriter report on the
ferry-boat minstrels appeared q
clipping from one Of the daily
tabloids in New York-a vici-
GUS attack on the Police De-
partment and on Colt person
ally, and demanding that poll
tics be thrown out of the de-
partment. With a brief smile,
Colt thrust this aside. Ever
since he has been in public
life he had known, as does
every other strong adminiStra-
tor, constant assaults like these.
They may originate In some
one with an object to serve.
But as often as not they are
simply yellow journalism: an
unsuccessful newspaper trying
to make a noise in town. They
are a symptom Of modern po-
litical life in modern American
cities. Thatcher Colt had time
for only a casual glance at the
printed attack.

interest in an event taking place in

IT will do more than any other single

Seventy to eighty per cent of our pub
