Hyla crucifer. commonly known as q
Spring pepper.
Perhaps you are responsible for II
yourself, II you have an aquarium
and like plenty of tadpoles with youl
fishes.
When that particularly small taddy
began to get legs last Spring, you little
thought that today 1t would be piping
away for dear life at the very first
touch of warmth.
You knew that 1t had to 60 out In
the pool, then, not being able to live

a frog like form.
With real kindness OF heart you
took it out to the pool and put 1t in
What a kicking of legs there was!
The creature liked to sit on the ledge
around the pool. It was cold. and you
wondered If you had not been hasty
after all.
The next day it was gone. You
thought it had died.

Tonight a shrill peeping, to be heard
at least half q mile, informs you
otherwise.
1t Is almost an Internal racket.
Flash your flashlight among trees
and bushes as far as you like, you
scarce can locate it.
The sounds seem to come from
everywhere.
If you could spot the Spring

would not move.
The light would not scare 1t.
You could see the vocal sack which

They are said to be very hard to spot

The question of scavengers in the
home aquarium is moot one.
These include tadpoles, snails OF
various sorts, the so-called weather
fish, small tropical catflshes, clans
and tiny shrimp.
Each one has its advocates. but
there are probably more mistakes
made in handling these fellows than
in caring for tropical fish.
In the first place, never place tad
poles and snails in newly made tank
To do so often spells their death
Especially is this true of tadpoles
They are vegetable eaters. in their
first stages. with a long watch-spring
intestine, the sure mark of the vege-
tartan.
They need algae. the minute plant
life which grows on the inside of the
glass, and. If the food given the fish
is too abundant. all through the water,
too. This latter condition results in
the green water" which Is the bane
Of the aquarist as well as the pool
keeper.
CLANS will cut down on the free
algae which causes this condition
will cut down on it, that is. If they
are alive. The chief trouble with
clans. either in the indoor tank or
outdoor pool. is that they die out of
hand. and are normally so still that
life cannot be told from death. Dead
clans pollute the pool, and will ruin
the aquarium, unless removed i'm
mediately.

To place tadpoles in fresh water. in
a newly planted, set up aquarium,
Is to place a terrible handicap upon
them. You cannot blame the pet
store man for not telling you about
this. He cannot know the condition
of your tank.
II one wants tadpoles, and truly
they are interesting creatures, he
should wait several months until a
good coat of algae collects on the
back inner wall Of the tank.
This will afford the taddies some
thing to eat, but it will not be all.

has gone off right. as it should do. If

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

Apart from the fact that the fish
are beginning to bite. opinion is crys-
tallizing that legislative plans may
be mainly responsible for prolonga-
ton of President Roosevelt's vacation
in the Southern Atlantic. Capitol
Hill thinks +. D. r. may be taking
a longer holiday because he is con-
tent to let the session taper off with
| a considerably less ambitious pro-
gram of accomplishment than was
originally planned. The Presidents S
supposed purpose is to make sure of
May adjournment. II the ideas at
tributed to him are well founded, sew
eral major measures would go over
until the next session. Chief among
them is the stock exchange regula-
ton bill. The others are the Wagner
labor bill. measure to extend presi-
Dental licensing authority under N
R. A., an amended securities bill and
possible war debts legislation. To force
a decision on almost any one of these
controversial propositions might string
out the session indefinitely. Impor-
tant as all of them are, the wide
spread view is that nothing vital
would be sacrificed if they were to
be allowed to ride" With approval
of the Harrison revenue bill and au-
thority for tariff bargaining. the
President may be ready to call it a
day, and let Congress get at the busi-
ness that soon will absorb so many
members-of getting themselves re-
elected.
X X X X
When the State Department, under
authority of Congress, gets around to
the herculean task of negotiating re-
ciprocal tariff treaties with % foreign
countries the deal with Japan will
conjure up barrel Of ticklish ques-
tions. Low-cost Japanese goods now
entering the United States are play
ing havoc with at least 20 different
American industries. Some of them
claim that the competition threatens
to put them out of business. The
rubber goods, crockery, match. lead
pencil, canvas shoe and incandescent
lamp trades are among those seri-
ously affected. A typical wall comes
from manufacturers of goggles. A
couple of years ago Japan sold 1000
dozen pairs of goggles here annually.
Her sales last year are said to have
been in the neighborhood of 100000
dozen and at prices which American
competitors found it utterly impossible
to meet. The Pacific Coast tuna fish
industry also faces ruinous Japanese
rivalry.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Bill Board Land,

Bill Board Land.
When Spring smiles forth on every
hand,
We get a glimpse of Bill Board Land
Where flying creatures fll the air;
Men passing brave and women fair.
The clowns approach and are intent
Once more on harmless merriment,
And from the jungle comes a throne
OF lions, who do no one wrong.
The elephant and the giraffe
Contrive to bring us many laugh.
We're sorry that a scene so gay
So very soon must fade away.
But careless winds will sweep aside
The remnants of pictorial pride.
Relentless Time, in league with Fate
Brings ruin to the glories great.
It's joyous thus a state to find
splendid-though but state of mind
So let's be happy while We may
In Bill Board Land. just for a day.
