For Human Needs.

President Roosevelt last evening OFF,
cially opened the years campaign for
the relief of human needs. In brief
but earnest radio appeal he gave his
Endorsement to a cause which, as he
was among the first to realize, should
have universal support. 1t was his
duty to assume such leadership, and
the obligation was one which he was
happy to have the privilege of fulfilling.
But there was a particular signifi-
canoe in Mr. Roosevelt's speech. OBJ
yiously it was aimed in part to correct
the mistaken notion. all too widely en-
tertained, that the Federal Govern
ment, in sponsoring the N. R. A,sand
other rec5 cry plans, has assumed the

decision in the spirit in which II Is an
nounced. It witnesses to the secre-
tary's belief in the practice as well a.
the theory Of democratic doctrines
But probably there would have been an
equal number of citizens who would
have applauded had she taken the op-
posite position. The tremendous bur-
den Of work which she IL carrying would
have been an ample excuse for Diff
ferent choice had she desired to make
it. Conditions being as they are, q
Government official is obliged to adopt
routine economy Of effort. and a
direct and time saving path from the
street to ones desk might be a de-
fensible expedient.,
It happens to be a fact that public
servants generally are obliged to protect
themselves from portion of the public.
Every legislative, executive and judicial
headquarters in the land Is more or
less overrm with well-intentioned but
impractical dreamers who seek official
assistance for the Inauguration Of
schemes of social salvation whose only
defect is that of being utterly utopian.
For example, not long ago there was
an individual canvassing the Capital in
behalf of a reform whereby Presidents,
Senators, Representatives, Justices OF
the Supreme Court and the like would
be chosen by palmistry-only those
whose hands demonstrated them to be
geniuses would be eligible for high posi-
ton. This person was received with
charitable courtesy by many Of those
whose consideration he sought, and a
small matter of two hours of attention
was all that was solicited in each case.
Taken from the middle Of a busy day
the one hundred and twenty precious
minutes wasted IN such tedious inter
view must have prompted thoughts OF
homicide in the victims minds. Busi-
ness of authentic Importance had to be
neglected while the ordeal proceeded.
Almost every man and woman In
public service has similar experiences
No wonder then, that they resort to
subterfuges to guard themselves against
invasions of their time and patience
Those who refuse to maintain such de-
fenses are apt to be doubly penallzed
for their liberality and tolerance.
OF course, Secretary Perkins realizes
the difficulties. No one need tell her
that, riding in ordinary elevators, she
will risk unhappy contact with modern
Ancient Mariners who have lengthy
yarns to tell, petitions to present, favors
to ask. The dangers, she surely under
stands, are legion, but she must be
loyal to her principles, regardless. In
the circumstances she will have the
sympathy of those who would pot have
sensed wicked reaction toward sacro-
sanct touch -me-not notions OF royalty
in a wish to take advantage OF an ele-
vator of her. Own. 60,

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Recovery Assured" Perhaps johnson
thinks his lob" will not be finished"
until then.
Among the assurances President Arias
is taking back to Panama from Wash
ington is that the Panamans are
going to be permitted to be masters of
their own wave lengths. At present the
United States has monopoly of radio
in the republic, because of our defensive
requirements in the Canal Zone. Pana-
ma bitterly resents that, and President
Arias made strong representations on
the subject to President Roosevelt.

When Mrs. Roosevelt attended last
weeks women's conference in New York
City, she was observed coming in quietly

without being recognized. There she

Two questions invariably asked at
White House press conferences nova
days are sure-flre laugh-provokers. One
is: "Mr President, what about the Dis
trict of Columbia Commissioners" The
other: "Mr President, when are you
going to make statement ABOUT mon
etary policy?" The queries always
originate with the same newspaper men,
who evidently proceed on the theory
that some day F. D. r. will crafty their
curiosity.
Here's a yarn making the rounds in
N. R. A. corridors. The private secre-
tary of a corporation executive rushed
into a board meeting and handed the
chairman some figures attesting the
glad fact that the company for the
first time since 1929 was in the black.
The chairman whispered: But see
these figures are In red ink. How
Gomez" The secretary replied: "Well,
sir. it's like this: we haven't had any
black Ink for four years and if we have
to buy some we'll be in the red again. "

fresh water supplies, its seasonal
droughts of long duration, and the
presence of vast timber tracts are q

great peril. Extraordinary caution is

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
Feeding time is the high spot Of the !

Feeding time is the high spot Of the
day in the life of aquarium fishes.
There isn't much else to do. Of course,
in Q glass tank.
It is not Nature, and the owner may
suppose that even his fishes know it.
Especially in the matter Of finding
food. Instead Of searching for grub con-
stantly "a hours around. they discover
that there is an appointed time. or
maybe several of them.
Just how tropical or goldfishes come
to understand this is something of q
mystery. That they do 1t by sheer in
telligence Is doubtful.
X
The ideal of the aquarium owner is
to keep his pets hungry all the time,
as they perhaps would be in Nature.
Since the foods fed are very concen-
trated, little must and does 60 long
way.
II the inmates get only such amounts
as they will clean up, there will be little
or no food left in the water. A certain
amount must be soluble, but this is
taken care of by the growing plants, in
balanced aquarium.
Aquarium fishes are introduced to q
highly artificial condition, that Of find
ing their food in comparatively large
quantity all at once, and usually at q
given time.
It may be believed that nothing more
mysterious than hunger, the old clamor
Of the animal stomach for food, notifies
the fish when their meal Is ready.
X X
Fishes in the home aquarium soon
come to know their feeder, and greet
his daily visit, or visits, with an ex-
pectant wriggling. which Is taken for q
personal tribute by the man with the
food in hand
He understands, as evidently his
charges do, that Is as near to INTEL
lectual companionship as a man and a
fish can come.
The lives of the flnny fellows are
different from ours, but In the matter
Of eating, fishes and men are on ex-
actly the same plane.
Each likes good meal and each
comprehends the pangs Of hunger.
Fishes and men both eat at stated
times, If the fishes live in aquaria, if
men have the fortune to be able to eat
as they will.
Mostly human beings eat too much.
and then not of foods best suited to the
purposes of health.
Fishes in aquaria must eat what is
put before them, but when this amount
Is put into their tank at a stated time,
in this respect also fishes become very
like men.
To eat on schedule is vastly unnat-
ural, for a fish, and it may be ques-
toned whether 1t is not somewhat so
for a human being.
Yet fishes readily accept the new
dispensation. Perhaps they even do SO
with Thanksgiving that the old law of
perpetual swimming and searching is
repealed.
A fish in its natural habitat would
swim many miles day to find the
same amount of real nutriment which
it gobbles up In few minutes with q
very minimum of physical motion.
Thus the cards are stacked against
our home aquarium fishes from the
very beginning This Is the real reason
why 1t is always best. when hesitating
between two sizes Of tanks, to buy the
largest.
Lack Of exercise to strictly natural
creatures is more hurtful than to civil
lized human beings, it may be believed
without argument Even a small flsh
will never get enough swimming for its

Yet matters not at all,
When evolutions new progress
And some one starts row
And many people try to guess
How life is going now.

Honing 125 Men, Checking
100000 Letters And

Jersey City, N. 1.-The tedious
search for clues in the Iindbergh
kidnapping, from the examination
of 125 men who had helped build
the fier's house and the road lead
ing to it, at Hopewell, down
through the scrutiny of 100000
letters received at the Lindbergh
home, was reviewed by Inspector
Harry W. Walsh of the Jersey
City police department.
Letters In japanese
His account Of the search is set
down in the second of a series Of
stories copyrighted by the Jersey
Journal.
The letters, he said, were not
only from numerologists, psy-
chics, ouija board mystics and re-
ligious fanatics, but from prom
inent lawyers and doctors who
would charge stiff fees for five
minutes attention to a client"
There were letters in many
foreign languages, including Japa-
nese. All of these were sent to
court interpreters for translation
and report" Walsh wrote.
Checking The Workers
After hat they were checked if
they looked good, and filed away.
Six State troopers read and sorted
the daily mail.
Checking the men who had
worked on the house and road, the
detectives found them scattered
through New Jersey, Manhattan,
Brooklyn and Staten Island. Moth
ing came of this.
Every toll telephone call made
to and from Hopewell for a month
prior to the crime was also check
ed through the telephone COM
pany's toll slips.
Every House Searched
Every house within a radius of
five miles of the Lindbergh home
was searched and a detailed report
made of its rooms, outhouses, wells
and cellars attached to the house.
A map was made with the Lind
bergh home as the centre, and the
area enclosed in a circle five miles
in radius. This area was divided
into eighths and each section COW
cred.
Every paro1ed or pardoned con-
Wet from every penal institution
in the State was checked, and every
patient paroled or discharged from

Reno, Nev.-After sacrificing an
expected inheritance of several mil
lion dollars in order to live in Lon
don, Francis Taylor, son of the late
Moses Taylor, New York banker:
is still there while his socially pro-
minent wife is here preparing to
apply for a divorce.
Taylor, whose father founded
one of the oldest banking fortunes
in the East, is a brother of Mrs,
Langhorne Gibson, daughter-in-law
of Charles Dana Gibson. Another
sister of Taylor is Mrs. Robert
Huntington, sister-in-law of Vim
cent Aston.
His wife, Mrs.. Sheila Bryne Tay-
lor, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Bryne of 1o43 Fifth Avenue,
New York, has taken a lease On
the largest residence in Reno for
six weeks, the minimum time in
which to establish legal residence
for a decree. She has retained an
attorney.
Taylor's residence was given as
l Upper Belgrave, London.
The wealthy expatriate, who en-
tered the London office of the Far
mers Loan and Trust Company af-
ter his graduation at Yale, was
married in Paris on Oct. l, 1925.
The wedding, at the Church of
St. Ferdinand des Ternes, was the
most brilliant of the Paris social
season, Notwithstanding no formal
announcement preceded it.
1t was about the time of his
marriage that Young Taylor in
Cured the displeasure of his father
by his choice of London as resi-
dence.
Three years later, after the
death of the banker, it was reveal
ed that the youth had been tut off
in the VIII, with the sole provision
that a s1,ooo,o 900 trust fund be
established for him upon the
death of his mother, now a resi-
dent of Marrakech, Morocco.
