Secretary of Commerce Roper's
statement indorsing the profit mo-
tive" in business, which has been fol-
lowed by similar expression from
Secretary Perkins of the Department
of Labor, was accepted with approval
by the press generally as a reassur-
ing indication of the administrations
attitude. Some observers, however,
wish, as the Providence Evening Bull
letin puts it, that voice more ex-
pressive of the higher command than
Mr. Roper's had spoken"
"The Secretary's address should
prove not only an encouragement to
business men who have been striving
to maintain employment levels, but
warning to those overenthusiastic
theorists whose activities have driven
capital into non-taxable Government
bonds and added to unemployment" T"
says the Roanoke World-News, which
believes that many industries would
willingly erect new plants and give
much larger employment if they could
have any assurance that future gov
ernmental restrictions will not ham
per their efforts"
1T is reassuring," declares the
Kansas City Star, because, in spite
of the objections of theorists, and in
spite of some of the defects in its
operation, the profit motive has proved
by far the most effective method to
improve conditions and raise the
standard of living" The Star adds
that with conflicting views among
men apparently high in the Presi-
dents confidence, the public is likely
to continue to speculate on which will
prevail in the development and ad-
miniStration of the New Deal"
In the opinion of the Charlotte OBJ
server, however, "the Secretary's as
surance is tantamount to Mr.. Roose-
velt'S assurance" and "the black
shadows that have been playing over
the horizon Of the future should in
stantly disappear The st. Paul
Pioneer Press, observing that "busi-
ness does not mark time by choice"
offers the judgment that "it wants
nothing so much as a chance profit
ably to employ the potential credit
which the commercial banks exist
to supply"
Mr.. Roper" according to the Ma
con Telegraph, knows the emptiness
of the claim of those political schools
of thought which would take away
the driving power Of profit from our
industrial life, and the civilization
which has been built upon that hfe,"
while the Akron Beacon Journal holds
that the Secretary's statement was
needed because too many little foxes
have been spelling the vines"
Asserting that the statement is in
sufficient, the Chattanooga Times
maintains that there must be posi-
tive, confdence-inspiring action"
The Wichita Eagle also holds that
it should be followed up by par
ticulars," and the Providence Bulletin |
says: "The administration is cognizant

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

the front pane, as if in an attempt
to solve the mystery by force.
In time it settles down to the
normal tank life, in which all inmates
recognize the boundaries and seldom
bump into them.
Even, the largest aquarium fishes,
possessing the physical ability to swim
many scores of miles a day, and to
do it at very rapid rate of speed,
seldom, if ever, dash into the glass.
They come to have a sort of in
stinct about the glass which hens
them in, and this is very fortunate
for them, for in the well-kept tank
the front glass, at least, is kept clear
and spotlesS, so that the interesting
and beautiful picture the aquarium
contains may be revealed easily to
the beholder.
Occasionally one may receive a fish
which acts wildly, dashing itself
into the sand at the approach of a
human being and in other ways
manifesting lack of congeniality with
its surroundings. This may be a
specimen collected in it's native habit.
1t is almost surely such If it fails to
become acclimated after a certain
length of time.
Therefore, as far as the average
amateur aquarist is concerned, it is
better for him if his fishes are tank
bred, and have never seen their ma
tive waters. If they have been given
plenty of room, and the right sort of
food, mostly live food, they will be quite
as good fishes, structurally speak
ing, as if they had been brought up
in far distant natural waters.
Such fishes will be tanner, and much
more easily handled.
Fishes which are tank-bred may
almost always be recognized by their
superior nervous organization, at least
that is the way it seems. They are
not SO inclined to be f1ighty as the
true native fish.
Nervousness in fishes is something
often secuted by the unobservant,
especially by those who have not paid
much attention to the hobby of fish
keeping
1t is customary for such to rush up
to an aquarium as if its inhabitants
were made of cast iron, not flesh and
blood.
Nothing is more disconcerting to a
fish than for a huge shape to loom
up before it teo suddenly.
Hovering over tank, looking down
at the fishes, will drive many of them
into a panic.
Danger, in Nature, often comes
from above, when it does not come
from below. Hence, many fishes are
dark on top, to merge with the dark
ness OF waters, and light underneath,
to merge with the lightness of the
light coming from above.
Nervousness in aquarium fishes usu-
ally is accentuated by maturity, as
might be expected. Fishes which
have shown no tendency to be
"jumpy' as youngsters become very
easily disturbed after becoming full
grown. Many aquarists do not keen
any individual fishes long enough to
know this.
Such fishes are not only Eighty
OF themselves, but they tend to have
panic communicated to them very
easily by their comrades. Often these
panics are from obscure causes, be-
yond the understanding of the OBJ
server in the air.
The keeper will be patient with his
charges, and respect their tempera-
mental fits now and then. After all.
the conditions under which they are
kept in tanks, even the best man
aged, are artificial and unlike Nature.

How Uncle Sam Should
Supply Needed Revenue

To the Editor Of The Star:
Uncle Sam needs more revenue. He
has been spending like a drunken
sailor. A sales tax is the most lucra-
tive and the easiest to collect. The
income tax is the hardest to collect.
1t should be abolished or curtailed
The gasoline tax should be increased
Long-term gold bonds should be issued
with 31a per cent interest.

cranberry bogs on Cape Cod, lies on
his back in his bed in the dark

to the alarm clock on the floor tick
away the minutes of his waning

he wishes he could crush the clock in
his hands and awaken his three sons,
sleeping above, and be of with them
to work. Time goes so fast, men grow
old so fast, and there is so much work
to be done. Old Heikki is proud of
his three sons. Through them he will
cheat death. Through them the work
will go on after he Is gone. Since he
came from Finland, 30 years before,
he has saved his wages as a picker,
almost penny by penny, and has
bought cranberry bogs, acre by acre.
The bogs have become his life. To
them he would sacrifice his wife and
sons if necessary Lisi, his wife, ac-

she shows signs of weakness. The sons

300 SEE GOOD FIGHT CARD BY
 GRADE PUPILS
Excellent Bouts Feature Nit and Mat Show at
 High School Gym

The customers last night got more for their 25 cents admission at the Grade School Nit and Mat show in the High School Gym than many crowds of fight fans in the States get for n sl general admission and s2.50 ring side seats.
 From the time the card opened with |, "cat fight" to the closing battle royal of the Eighth Grade bows. all the contestants were giving all they had-and they had considerable.
 The judges were liberal in their decisions, however, and a boxer had to show a clear advantage be- fore he was declared the winner. Seven out of the eight bouts were declared draws, the only boy get ting a decision being TX. O." Goddard, who slugged 70. K." Jackson into submission.
 Probably the best bout of the evening was that between 'Hurri- cane" Hanson and Cyclone Smith. Both boys were fast and willing. Hot Shot" Guerin and Cocoa" Atkinson put on pret- ty bout, as did dynamite Kapp and Knockout" Norton Two pa perweights, "Roughneck" Reischl and Fluffy" Heisel stood toe to toe and slugged it out.
 The White Brothers, Bone yardv and Graveyard" gave an exhibition that was far from a brother act. They seemed to want to impress it on the public that in the fighting game relationships don't count. windmill" zenger and Pile Driver" Osborne showed considerable science, while the first bout, that between Buster" Brown and "Popeye" DeVault was far from slow.
 Daredevil" Daniloff won from the dummy "Frankenstein' in a wrestling match but lost to the dummy's little brother, Beer Stein"
 There were three battles royal and an exhibition of tumbling and the show opened with series of combat activities.
 The Juneau High School Band furnished music for the occasion and was appreciated by the au- dience.
 A crowd of about 300 was in att tendance and nearly $60 was cleared.
