THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A striking instance Of the vast need
in local aquarium.
Nine fishes still gasp for breath in a
40-gallon tank, supplied with three
aerators worked by electricity, and a
constant drip Of running water across
the top Of their aquarium.
Probably as many as 500 guppies might
be kept in that tank without any arti-
fetal aeration Of any sort, and certainly
without running water.
Two hundred or more average tropical
fishes could enjoy life to the fullest
in such a swell tank" plentifully sup
piled with good plants, growing well
as the result of plenty Of light.
Those who have kept two or more
goldfshes in small bowl will wonder
how they did it, then.
The answer is easy:
They permitted the creatures to gasp.
Thousands Of keepers Of goldfshes
ought to bear in mind this picture Of
the nine fishes in 40 gallons of water.
supplied with all the latest gadgets for
their care-and yet still gasping for
oxygen.
If they will breathe uneasily after such
provisions, what must they not do in
the / or 2 gallon bowl7
Changing the water, the time-honored
remedy, Is not enough.
While the ordinary common goldfish
may stand this treatment for q long
time, 1t can only be said to be better
than nothing.
The ideal, in the care Of these or
R,l q. x. iek,
near an approach to natural conditions
as possible.
Even the most careless person will
realize that very few keepers ever begin
| to duplicate such conditions.
Then how do they do as well as they
do by their charges?
There are just two answers:
l. Hardy fishes.
2. Keeping just few.
The real answer is the second. This
is the best way to make up to the ami
mails for DEFICIENCIES of water content
and food. If only few fishes are kept,
they will adjust themselves to the condi-
lions under which they must live, If
these are not too severe upon them.
Hence it is perfectly possible for the
| average person to handle these bright
fellows with some success.
It will be seen, in the tank instanced
above, that approximately gallons Of
water was supplied each fish, and still
it was not enough to keep them from
gasping for air. It was not enough even
when air was blown by an electric pump
through porous stones. 1t was not sufd-
cient even when there was a constant
| drip Of water.
II this tank were to be taken as a
standard, we might well believe that the
keeping of goldhshes in the average
home would be impossible, but every one
knows that 1t Is done more or less sue
cessfully in thousands Of cases.
Often no sand or plants are used at
all, still the creatures manage to exist.
The question remains: How do they do
| 1t? The answer still Is: They are hardy
creatures II once acclimated to the con-
ditions under which they are to live.
| One Of the biggest mistakes people
make, In setting up goldfish tank, lies
in taking them from the cold water OF
the dealers tank, and putting them all
| at once into warmer water at home.
It Is not too much to say that large
part Of the failure with these pictur-
esque, interesting denizens Of the deep
rivers is due to suddenly dropping them
| from water Of one temperature to an
| other.

WAY Down in Ethiopia.

Way Down in Ethiopia.
Way down in Ethiopia there comes a
sigh forlorn,
1t does not tell of hardship in the cotton
and the corn,
But Lawyer Marks is busy as a diplo-
matte bee
And Mussolini seems just now as harsh
as a Legree.
They'll send along some airplanes with
an aim so swift and cool
The Emperor will be puzzled cause it's
not an army mule.
The palace will be wrecked as If it were
cabin small.
The King of Kings, like Uncle Tom, will
have no chance at all!

Christmas Is Coming.
It's weary, weary waiting till it's time
for Santa Claus.
The old thermom keeps rising quite
Indifferent to applause.
Unrest is slowly rising all the way from
coast to coast.
You're tired of gangster bullets when
you need a SNOWFALL most.
We must wait till roses wither and the
harvest moon has set.
We must wait until Thanksgiving day
reproves us for regret.
We must mind our campaign manners
and keep shouting for the cause.
It's weary, weary waiting till it's time
for Santa Claus.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

They Only Last a Summer
Would you pin a butterfly up against a
wall,
Watch its rainbow colors go, watch it
fade and fall?
Would you pin light-winged soul to
a dry routine,
Watch it lose its gayety in the mundane
scheme?
Dancing souls and butterflies are their
best at play
Following In the wind and sun the pris-
matte day.
