In health or sickness, the lovely
Angel fish or Scalare pronounced
Skay-larry) is still king of the home
aquarium.
Several attempts have been made
to supplant it, but each has failed.
Pterophyllum scalare, as the SCI
entists named it, with its queer feel
ers, its huge extending upper and
lower fins, its bright silvery colora-
ton, with dark bars coming and
going, according to the mood of the
creature, remains the most interest
ing and picturesque of all tropical
fishes kept as pets.

thusiast is newcomer to the hobby,
or has been engaged in amateur fish
culture for many years.

Angel fish is something else again,
being longer" from top to bottom
than from its tail to its head.
Its graceful movement is but one of
its features. This is mostly due to
the small confines of the average
aquarium, for it can go like light

| occasion for speed.
One of the legends of the Angel fish
is that if frightened it will butt out
its brains against the glass wall of
the tank, unless there are plenty Of
plants to give the animal sense Of
boundary.
While this may have happened, in
some particular aquarium, it must be
very rare occurrence, SO rare, in
fact, that the average amateur need
not bother with it.
There should be plants, of course,
for beauty's sake, for the waters sake,
and for the fishes sake Plants make
the aquarium beautiful" they absorb
some fish food debris as food for
themselves. thus helping keep the
water clear, and they help give the

Tile Theatrical H'orld--
A Hint for the Very
Adult-See 'Cellini'
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

their systems Of justice and it is
just as biting today as it was in
the sixteenth century.
The love affairs Of Benvenuto
Cellini, the goldsmith and heart
breaker Of Florence in the sixteenth
century, were bootlegged at one
time in the book world, but now
you may find the affairs of this
ancient love maker in the libraries
Of all ultra moderns.
What Cellini didn't know about
love making wasn't worth knowing
and the ar has not been improved
since he perfected it.
EREDRIC MARCH is the Cellini
Il in this movie. His acting has
all the qualities you expect in a
Theater Guild production. His
makeup is one Of the triumphs Of
the year.
He reads his ordinary lines in
marvellous style and when he re-
cites love poetry-well, the love heat
is on.
Although March is magnificent, it
is Frank Morgan as Alessandro, the
philandering but hen-pecked Duke
of Florence, who walks away with
all the acting honors.
I've moved Mr.. Morgan into my
private hall of fame and there he
will stay as Alessandro as long as I
live.
Watch his suffering and con-
fusion when he faces his court, but
especially when he faces his
duchess, played in a beautiful and
tantalizing way by Constance Ben
nett.
One of the smartest naughty
scenes done in splendid taste is
when both the duchess and the
duke are entertaining their sweeties
under the same roof.
And glory be, they both have their
sweeties when the story ends.
Fay Wray plays in frigid style
the dumb and not-too-willing-to-
learn sweetie Of both the duke and
Cellini.
SSH! This one is for adults, the
very adult. Don't miss it because
you will feel that you have been on

PETERS STARTS
NEW DUTIES IN
HOUSING DRIVE
Works on Plan to Obtain
Loans for Delinquent
Taxpayers.

With the task of working out a
plan whereby home owners, whose
taxes are delinquent, may be grant,
ed through loans through the fed
eral housing program, has been del
egated to R. Earl Peters, TT. Wayne,
who assumed his new job as asso-
ciate director of the Indiana pro-
gram yesterday.
Under a recent federal law, loans
can not be made to persons whose
property taxes are delinquent. At
the same time, there is an Indiana
law which grants persons who paid
1892 taxes an extension of time to
pay previous delinquent taxes.
With thousands of property own
ers in Indiana affected by the con-
hicting laws, and many of them
seeking federal housing loans, some
plan must be worked out, Mr.. Peters
said, after a conference with Fred
Hoke, director Of the Indiana pro-
gram.
May Succeed HOke
Mr.. Peters established his offices
in the same building with Mr.. Hoke.
Although his position is that Of as
sociate director, he virtually is in
full charge of the housing program.
Mr.. Hoke is expected to resign from
his federal relief connections early
next month, turning over the work
to Mr.. Peters.
The Indiana program calls for a
statewide survey Of housing con-
ditions in an effort to determine the
number and the amounts of loans
which will be needed to finance
building and improvement projects.
The surveys are expected to be
made by FERA labor through ap-
proval of state relief agencies.
Skilled Workers Get Jobs
Use of men from state employ
ment service lists will be tried in
Marion county first, Mr.. Hoke said.
If the plan is successful here, it will
be used in other sections of the
state. Skilled workmen in the build
ing trades will be placed on hous-
ing projects, and when the plan is
throughout the state, thou
sands of unemployed men in that
line of work are expected to be given
jobs.
Funds for remodeling and building
programs by home owners are to be
furnished through loans from pri-
vate banks and trust companies.
The loans, approved by the federal
administration, will be pro-
tected by federal insurance. A ma
jority of Indiana banks and trust
companies have agreed to partici-
pate in the plan, Mr.. Hoke said.
