the Spaniards retreated from
the Aztec capital on the dire
Noche Triste they carried with
them his three children, one of
whom was later to marry a COM
panion of the great C0nQuisita-

and their progeny that the King
Emperor Charles V conferred a
pension in perpetuity.
Only the ruler of the most
quixotic of nations would have
been capable of so magnanimous

so fantastic a legacy would have

Predictions are made that in the
coming months Congress win give much
attention to the demands Of agriculture
for some form Of relief. While 1t Is
assumed that the new national admin
istration will take an active part in the
effort to decide upon an effective plan,
the Farm Boards record is considered
| likely to cause the Government to be
cautious in undertaking new measures
The several plans under discussion in
clude the domestic allotment, In which,
it is pointed out, appears one new ele-
ment, limitation of production, fea-
ture that is declared essential.
Since the allotment measure Is be-
lieved to have the coming administra-
tons Endorsement, the Lexington
Leader thinks that "it Is practically
certain to be tried" and suggests the
possibility of its being passed over a
veto in the present session. While ex-
pressing its own opposition to the
project, the Leader notes that $50 far IL
farm organizations, including some OF
the most important Of them, are urging
its adoption as means OF bringing
farm prices up to the level OF other
prices"
whether Hoover would veto the
domestic allotment plan Is problemati-
CAL" thinks the Lincoln State Journal.
though it feels that "he will, II the
opportunity is given him, In spite of the
automatic restriction against produc-
ton" The State Journal adds: ''The
strange thing about all farm relief pro-
posas Is that nobody appears to be
able to say In advance, with full conf
dence, that any of them will work.
Senator Howell says he does not know.
but he Is willing to try 1t once. If 1t
costs as much as did the Farm Board,
1t will be expensive enough, and yet
logically the Farm Board act should
have produced the results that were
expected, since 1t provided buyer to
support the market when weak. 1t was
baked by overproduction and was COM
PEELED to relinquish stabilizing opera
tions." e
"It is to be hoped" advises the Des
Moines Tribune, that our leaders at
Washington are smart enough to rec
ognize now that something has to be
done to better the prospects of our
millions of farmers; that It needs to be
done promptly, and that 1t needs to be
done adequately. Adopting any plan
for relief, be 1t the domestic allotment
plan or any other, will not be adequate
If 1t Is done half f-heartedly, as a hesi-
tant and timid experiment, to be tested
out with reference Just to one or two
farm commodities. A few years ago
perhaps such testing out would have
been quite in order The need was less
urgent then. But then 1t was impossi-
bic to get anything tried. Now the time
for haH-measures has passed. Iowa
has little or no interest in any farm
relief program which confines itself to
couple Of crops and omits the feeo
crops. Iowa wants corn included in
whatever aid measure Is adopted. Iowa
wants not only corn, but other crops
that could be substituted for corn. And

Today, for the first time in nineteen
years, Nicaragua, largest though most
sparsely settled Central American re-

alton became an accomplished fact with
the withdrawal from its soil of the last

fore the first sail from Europe plim-
mered along her shores. The tale of
those earlier inhabitants is now dim
and fragmentary. 1t will never be
told entirely, but at least such relics
and traditions as remain can be SO put
together as to give far more satisfac-
tory account than We now have.
This Is part Of the interesting work
undertaken by group Of some so
American scientists now In conference
at Birmingham. They purpose to write
as far as they can, "the pre- history of
the Southeastern United States" Among
them are many archeologists repre-
senting this region and specialists from
museums and universities in other quar-
ters of the country. After visiting
Moundsville, Ala, famed for its YES
tiges of a remarkable Indian civiliza-
ton, they will discuss what is alreadv
known about the prehistoric people of
the Southeast and by what means the
gaps in such knowledge can best be
filled or bridged. 1t is their hope that
"the ancient story Of the Southeastern
States may become as nearly complete
and as yividly real as has that of the
Southwest"

then rampant. When domestic strife
was suppressed, Nicaragua requested
that the Marines remain until two fur
ther purposes were accomplished-first
the organization of q native national
guard, under American officers, and,
secondly, the conclusion Of the 1928
presidential and congressional elec-
tions under supervision of the United
States.
Even then, though the Marine forces
were steadily reduced in number, their
mission was destined to be prolonged,
and it eventually fell to their lot to
oversee the elections Of 1880 and 1882
AS consequence, the Nicaraguan peo-
pie on three successive occasions en-
joyed the privilege Of exercising at the
polls the only utterly untrammeled
choice in their history. 1t will not be
the fault of Uncle Sam or his gallant
lesthernecks If Nicaragua has not per-
manently set its face in the direction
of q political system in which ballots
and not bullets are the decisive factor.
Events now consummated effectually
explode the theory that the United
States Is bent at all cost upon "ex-
plotting" Latin America, and Central
America In particular. for imperial
istic" aggrandizement. No one can
guarantee that the occasion which first
neceSsitated American intervention in
Nicaragua will never arise again. But
1t at least has been demonstrated that
behind such action turks no ulterior
purpose, and that, once its objective is
achieved, no policy prevails at Wash
ington other than the promptest pos
able restoration OF the status quo.
Nicaragua, equipped through her
American-trained Guardia Nacional, Is
now headed for what the State Depart
ment, in valedictory note, terms that
progress which she will inevitably
achieve" The American people wish
her long period Of economic welfare
and political tranquility They rejoice
in the part they themselves were privi-
legged to play In insuring its eventual
establishment, hallowed, as 1t is, with
the blood Of American soldiers who gave
their lives for 1t.

What is the finest aquarium fish9

What Is the finest aquarium fish?
The amateur, who enters this fasci-
mating sport by the way Of goldfshes,
next acquires a bowl Of guppies and
then goes on to the other tropicals.
That is the usual way.
Shortly he becomes convinced that
there is no aquarium inmate quite as
hkable, novel, interesting and beauti-
full as the so-called angelfish.
This is his firm Judgment after a
few weeks.
He is always delighted, however, to
find that his opinion is supported by
for many years.
Among them the angelfsh is known
as king.
The scientists call him Pterophyllum
scalare, a combination Of Greek and
Latin, which means literally:
Winged leaf, like pair OF stairs"
Or, better. winged leaf. stairlike; or
perhaps statrlike winged leaf.
The winged leaf" part Of the scien-
tiflc name refers to the fiat shape of
the body, which is round, with its ex-
tended upper and lower fins. or wings,
from which come the popular name.
There are, Of course. many sorts OF
angelf1sh, but most Of them are en-
tirely too large for the home aquarium.
Some of the species grow as large as
3 feet, and are used in their native
haunts for food.
The home variety, Pterophyllum
scalare tthe first letter being silent) is
now well known to many persons, even
those who have not succumbed to this
hobby.
1t may be seen in pet shops, in some
OF the 10-cent stores, and, of course,
In the tanks of all fanciers; for no
matter how many different varieties OF
tropicals one may have, no aquarium
is right without the scalare, as it Is
called among the fanciers.
The up-and-down construction OF
this fish invariably catches the eye.
even of the experienced, since 1t is so
at variance with the usual structure of
fishes.
In fact, the angelfish is one of the
few fishes in the world which has any
real architecture, If one may call II
that.
Most fish are-well Just flshlike.
When you have seen one fish, from
whale to the ubiquitous guppy, from
fresh-water TO saltwater creatures,
you have seen almost all of them.
True, there are startling innovations
at times, but they are small compared
with the 10000 different fishes which
the ichthyologists have classified.
The seahorse, for instance. There Is
something differentl And there is the
queer boxfish, to be seen in public
aquariums. Founders are curious fell
lows; there is even tiny one for the
home aquarium.
In the main, however, fishes are
fishes, longer than they are high.
AL except the angelfish.
Proudly he watts through the water
the king by genuine right of beauty and
supreme interest.
Fighting fishes and colored beauties
and swift swimmers-these and scores
OF novelties come and 60 In the tropi-
cal aquariums, for there are fashions in
these things as in all others
Pterophyllum scalare holds the posi-
tiun In the face Of them all because no
one who has ever had q chance to be-
come acquainted with him ever forgets
him.
This is all the more surprising, see-
ing that he has now become so com
mon" that he can be purchased for a
reasonable price.

dedicatory speech, what might be de-
scribed in the vernacular as mouthful
In part, he said:
Ours Is a Nation of builders, and the
heavens are lined with battlements
hewn from stumbling blocks which
have Uttered our upward path since the
muskets of Lexington uttered the birth
cry Of people determined to recog-
nize no odds and admit no impossible
ties.
And tonight we render tribute to this
embodiment of American indomitable
ness and fearlessness, which rises, like
Pharos, out of the binding fogs of
irresolution and bewilderment, to pro-
claim that leadership has not failed us;
that the mighty fortunes of America
have not deserted their constructive
tasks: that the vision of great captains
is not blurred by depression, and that
our fundamental structure and unde-
pleted opportunities encourage invest
ment on grander scale and vaster scope
than the creations which line our past.
Here is the last word in motion pic
ture grandeur
Herr. also, Is good place to pause.
To Tslse, as Mr.. Hays might say, and
take stock. If the muskets OF Lexing-
ton can utter birth cry, then the
American eagle can roar. Roar, you
eagle, roar! If the last word in motion

the eagle and all the eaglets roar a
Thanksgiving Let them howl In de-
light. For what this country has been
needing for long time is-the last
word in motion picture grandeur.
May it be the final last. From the
rock-ribbed coast of Maine to the sun
tanned coast of California, from the
stumbling block battlements Of heaven
to the abyss Of despair-into which our
great captains have not descended-Iet
the words Of Hays soar, and, as they
roll, flood with the sunshine Of their
reinsurance all who hear their march
ing feet. Civilization has waited a long
time to see this embodiment of Ameri-
can indomitableness completed. But II
has waited for what seemed to be a
much longer time for the last word in
motion picture grandeur. If, in truth
1t has been said-selah!
