LEGALITY
HIT IN SUIT
BY International News Service

A new legal suit questioning the
constitutionality of the NRA to-
day faced the Administration.
Instituted by a comparatively
small New Jersey steel manufac-
turing firm, w. Ames & Co., the
suit was seen as a possible major
test of the MIRA and the legality
of President Roosevelt'S order
withholding Federal contracts
from those who fail to comply
with code requirements.
Attacking the NRA codes as "un-
constitutional" and as granting
"inquisitorial powers" to the Gov
eminent, the suit charged that the
Presidents order has resulted In
an illegal boycott" of the COM
pany'S products. Resulting in the
loss of contracts for at least 1900
tons of steel, purchased for road
construction work by the State OF
New Jersey with funds obtained
from the Federal government.
It named as defendants Secre'
tray of Agriculture Wallace, Sec.
rotary of the $nterior Ickes, and
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief Of
the Bureau of Public Roads.

It has been stated by a high
official of the Federal Housing
Administration that the purpose
to which the mutual mortgages"
may be put, in the case Of re-
financing an existing residence,
may not be entirely restricted.
In fact, he asserted that it is
possible that the rules for these
trusts may be so lenient that a
person, in refinancing his home,
may in many cases obtain addi-
tional amounts Of money to buy
a railroad ticket to Walla Walla
or purchase a case of dog food
for his Airedale.
This fact already has been re-
ported upon in this series of arti-
cles, but it is deemed expedient

Sound Production Not
Uncommon With Fishes

Whatever the motive, If any, of
singing fish," the mechanism by
means of which such sounds are
launched upon the air or water is of
interest. Though without true lungs,
larynx, or vocal chords, there is am
pie means for sound production in
the average fish's makeup. Many can
emit loud calculations on grasshop-
per principles, using the bases of GER
tain fins, fin rays and gill covers to
perform the functions Of strings and
bow.
One Indian catfish even employs
part Of its spinal column, scraping
the first bone of it's dorsal fin against
the spines of the fourth and fifth
vertebrae. The trigger fishes, sur.
geon fish, bore fish and our common
stickleback are all in the class of
what one might term fish violinists.
So far as can yet be ascertained
no fish deliberately produces sounds
either to intimldate a foe or to warn
its fellows of danger. Least of all
does 1t show the slightest esthetic
appreciation. The suggestion that
the singing fishes chorus had posi-.
bly, some connection with mating
may appeal to the poet, but not to
the scientist.
