on the savings of the public to an
important degree, yet it must be
that the surplus Of accumulated in

reached an imposing total over the

Assuming such to be the case. it
would seem reasonable to suppose
that business will have no difficulty
in securing all the money it needs
as soon as confidence in the future
has been restored. 1t would seem
also that the existence of these
funds, which must reach an I'M

by the decision of the F1fty-thlrd

order of the Texas railroad COM
mission cutting rates for natural

40 cents to be cOnf1scatOry. The
upholding of the conlpany's valua-

ing decidedly encouraging.
The utility companies have felt
for some time that they did not have
friend in the world. Charges
have been made that they even
have been unable, in some cases, to
get convictions against people who
have stolen electricity when they
have produced alright evidence. The
attitude of the juries, according TO
| their version, has been that the util-
ity concerns were wrong, irrespective
of the circumstances-that they
have forfeited all rights to justice by
their past acts, actual or supposed.
THE arrler-BrunSWlck Inter-
Il national, Inc, a division Of the
Carrier Corporation, announced that
it has just been awarded a con-
tract for installing ACKNOWLEDGING
equipment in the Robinson Deep
Mt.1e in South Africa, one of the
deepest gold mines in the world,
being about 5000 feet below the
earth's surface.
One marvels, Of course, at the
advancement in science and in bust
ness which would make such an
undertaking possible and also over
the fact that it is to take place in
Africa. The increase in the price
of gold probably has made the ven-
ture possible from a financial stand
point.

Tom Fleming
To Be Allowed
To Practice Law
Former Alderman Is Given
Another Chance

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 14-Com-
mon Pleas Judges of Cuyahoga
County voted unanimously to per-
NIT former Councilman Thomas
w. Fleming, 2342 East doth St.,
who was convicted in 1929 of
accepting a bride of 5000 from a
crippled policeman, now dead, to
practice law again.
He served a 33-month sentence
in the Ohio penitentiary and was
restored to citizenship by Governor
George White in August, 1888. On
Monday his plea, offered by his
counsel, Alexander H. Martin, was
heard by Judges Virgil Terrell and
Harrison Ewing. Along with Judge
Arthur Day, who was scheduled to
hear the plea, the judges unani-
mously recommended that the de-
cree forbidding Fleming to prac-
tice law be modified.
At the meeting of all the judges
a modification (which will in time
permit him to practice law again"
was authorized, Chief Justice
Homer G. Powell said. The meth
cd of drawing up the formal paper
is yet to be decided by the judges.
1t will probably take the form of
modifying the removal to a sus-
pension, with the period of time
covered by the suspension to ex-
pire in the near future, Judge Pow
ell announced.

1t Is seldom that glass Dish ara
bred In captivity In this country,
most of the specimens kept here
having been imported from India
or Germany. On rare occasions,
however, they have been induced
to spawn In aquaria, but even
then, most Of the young fish Matched
die within a short period.
The young glass fish are very.
tiny. They will feed upon small
infusoria and other microscopic
organisms until they are big enough
to take bigger food. The adult fish
may be fed upon various kinds Of
live food, including Daphnia and
white worms.
There are other kinds Of glass
fish brought into this country, but
not In such large numbers as Am
bassis lala. One Of them IL Am
bassis commersoni, which Is longer
than the other and comes from Az
RIGA. Specimens Of this species have
been caught In salt water and ex-
periments have shown that In cap
tivity they win thrive equally well
In salt or fresh water.
