Tiger and Chairman.

War is declared by Supreme Chief
Curry Of Tammany upon National and
State Democratic Chairman Farley for
the part which the latter played In the
defeat of the regular Democratic mu-
nicipal ticket in New York City. The
Tiger chieftain has issued a statement
that sounds the battle cry. After the
somewhat cryptic remark that "the
election shows clearly that New York
remains Democratic CITY," he says:
1t took the efforts of the chairman
of the National and the State Commit
tees Of the Democratic party to dis
rupt democracy, not only by causing the
loss of the city-wide ticket. but by turn
ing the control of the Assembly over
to the Republicans. For that action
he and those who acted in concert with
him cannot remain in office II the party
is to look for victory in the State and
Congressional elections next Fall.
Those who acted in concert with
him" are sinister words. They may In
clude other high figures in the national
administration. But that is for later dis
closure. For the present the matter Of
importance Is what Is To be done by
Tammany and its cohorts with the
chairman of the National and State

visions: "The operators of the captive

produce coal for the steel companies

the fuel market-presumably had the
idea that the captive state of their
properties made them an exception to

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| before he did so that the community
Of Lebistes reticulatis, which is the
fancy name for guppy, was in fine
shape, despite their paucity Of water
depth.
Surely they would be glad for a bite
OF food. though, Templeton Jones
thought.
He looked around for a container.
when he happened to spot the auto
matte tin, long forgotten, but now most
happily brought to view.
Jones wondered idly why he had for
gotten it for ten entire months Surely
1t was novelty, and maybe it worked.
n y
He examined the bottom of the small
can, where a rachel device on the end
of rod gave the whole very auto
matte appearance, indeed.
Jones realized instantly that the thing
did not work at all, but somehow that
seemed to fit in very properly with the
entire place.
No one had expected it to work.
He looked around for other tins of
food.
There they were, three others, each
OF which he remembered well.
He found himself speculating as to
his fitful memory.
Downstairs, where his tanks cleaned
crystal in the sunlight, he had from
time to time wished to try a new food.
No fancier ever has enough kinds Of
fish foods.
And here were three or four good ones,
totally forgotten over the months, while
the fishes up here went very hungry.
Strange.
Jones ran finger idly over the great
wooden table on which rested several
of the larger tanks.
The dust rose in those little eddies
long associated with dust wherever
found.
The water in the tanks remained
quite clear, the aquarist's dream and
sometimes realization. There had been
no food to offer the possibility of con-
tamination.
Jones looked at the unusual varieties
swimming around in the sunshine. None
OF them did he have in his own tanks
These we're rare varieties. curiouslv
shaped and colored with the subdued
pastels of the best tropicals.
All seemed to be in the best Of health
No doubt they had been able to find
food OF sort; fishes need very. little,
after all.
Jones looked at the cans of food. but
made no motion to dip in his right in
dex finger and thumb, in the well known
gesture familiar to all fans"
He found himself (be it remembered
IN his dream) speculating over why he
had never, at any time he had been
present In this fish room, fed the fishes.
The boxes always had been there, and
the fishes plainly needed some food. al
though they looked perfectly healthy.
1t had been many months since he had
been there, or since any one had set foot
there. but he realized, even as he
thought this, that he would end by not
feeding them.
The dream had always ended SO, he
knew, and this one would be no differ
ent.
Here at the end of the row was a
thickly padded blind, pulled down in
front OF small tank In which some
tiny lemon -colored fishes swan rapidly.
Why SO padded2
Templeton Jones suddenly realized
that this blind had been lowered to pro-
teCt the fishes from possible cold. The
Ike protection seemed unnecessary for
any of the other animals
Jones woke, but the dream place still
seemed with HIM He had visited the
same place three times, in three dreams.

The Future. What of 1T?
From the Charlotte Observer.

FROM the Charlotte Observer.
The supreme challenge Of human his
tory may be flying unawares In the face
of America. A world agrope, weltering
in such miseries as have prostrated the
people of this Republic, has its eyes
wtstfully turned this way. Beneath all
the surface evidences of the contempt
in which America is held by far-away
continents. pulsating through their finer
hearts is hope that American genius
for pioneering, its spirit of adventure
and-fts traditional lust for new discov-
cry will finally alight upon definite
and concrete program by which all hu-
manity may dwell In individual and
national contentment and measurable
prosperity.
The worlds thoughts, like Americas,
are at this moment trained upon eco
nomic recovery.
Here all the emphasis is being un-
happily placed. Markets, counting
rooms, ledgers, commerce, trade, agri-
culture, industry, business, banks, fac
tories, employment - these are terms
that connote the point at which the
sentiments and the PHILOSOPHERS of
leadership are focused
But as vital as may be the discovery
OF that subtle process by which the eco
nomic wrecks of the world may be re-
paired. let none be lured into the con-
viction that this is by any means the
largest issue ahead nor the most in
tricate problem to be faced.
As matter of simple fact, 1t is more
the suggestion and symptom of other
more fundamental enigmas. Economies
has become so involved and is itself so
involving in the present complex order
of life that all other phases of civiliza-
ton tie into it and reflect themselves in
this area.
Even SO. the economic problem of this
hour is only one of a multitude of rid
dies that are taunting the leadership of
America, calling imperiously for its en-
Hghtened and ingenious spirit of ad-
venture and high courage.
All others, along with this, have
grown like limbs of tree from the sud-
den conversion of physical and mate
rial life from one of easy simplicities
to one of opaque complexities-from the
creation of a vast machine supported
by a vaster body of knowledge, with
neither of which man himself is able
TO keep step.

An automatic box of fish food, which
fed the fishes at a stated time every
| day, was one of the things Templetor
Jones saw in his dream.
1t was as clear as the actual tins OF
| food which he used In the management
| of his own home aquaria, for he hac
seen the same great aquarium room
three times, in three dreams at long in
| tervals, yet each time the same.
The curious thing about this triple
dream was that he seemed aware Of the
place each time, as If he were merely
going upstairs into his own attic again
Yet he was quite sure that it was the
same place for an entirely different
reason. He realized, even as he
dreamed, in that curious knowledge OF
some visions, that this place in reality
was a great woodworking plant he hao
visited one day many years ago.
X 4 *
Jones was one who believed greatly
in the sanctity of the human nose.
The smell of Sawdust, and not the
whirling belts and great fiywheels ano
humming saws, was what made the real
impression upon him.
There was no odor of sawdust in his
dream, however, but only the fragrance
of long undisturbed things.
Another curious fact about this dream
the same every time he dreamed 1t, was
that the place indubitably was not q
sawmill, in any sense, but a fish room
and, what was more, his own private
one.
Each time he dreamed this dream he
just happened to open the attic door,
and look up the stairs.
AS he did so. it suddenly came tC
mind that for some reason or other he
had not been up there for almost a year
He knew, though, even as he set foot
upward, that the fishes would be in
good health. He was curiously unper-
turbed about them, or their apparent
lack of food.
Somehow he knew that he had been
there before, and had found them well
and happy, after long neglect, SO that
there was no reason to fear for them
now.
He was remembering. in other words
his previous dream trips to this place

fectly still on great tables ranged before

the room, with its pleasant fragrance,
its mellow light, its happy quiet, that
it was something like the vast aquarium
room Of friend in another part of
town.
1t was vastly different, however, par
ticularly so in the location Of the tanks,
which were ranged on rough tables of
bare wood (the woodworking plant
again) squarely facing the long, wide
windows.
There were all sorts of tanks, most
Of them large, as such things go, of so
to $50 gallons, the aggregate weight
being many thousands of pounds, since
water alone weighs something more
than 8 pounds to a gallon.
This weight at the top Of the house
seemed perfectly cared for, so that no
fear in this regard entered Jones head
All this had been provided for in the
past. There was no need to worry about
a thing. What happy place 1t was!
