Heiqhtsmen Win,
EAGLES Protest

Congress Heights gridders won
a 6-to-0 football game yesterday
but are not so sure they have it
officially in their grasp.
The reason is that the Anacos-
tia Eagles, their opponents, pro-
tested because they claimed the
Heightsmen should have been pc.
nalized for throwing an illegal
pass. The heave came in the clos
ing seconds Of the fourth quarter
and decided the game.

Bill Shelton!
Western High School fans gave
this cheer with sorrow early dur.
ing the football year because at
the time, the young captain and
guard, was being helped from the
field with an injury.
His enforced absence was quite
a blow to the team, since he was
the lone dependable hold-over
from Coach Dan Ahern's 1884
machine.
But it was not long before Shell
tons grit and determination got
him back into action. He played
a stellar game for the Red and
White to finish a career which
was gratifying to say the least.

Miss Simmons defeated Lorraine
GULL, the foremost lady bowler
in our city and the second best
feminine duckpinner in the United
States in a special 20-game match,
2,34O to 2,221, l19 pins. Everyone
knows that Ida is the No. rank
ing duckpinnist and the most
valuable to her team in the
country.
Miss Simmons grabbed the lead
in the first set, 642 to 500, and
was never headed. The Norfolk
ace won the second set. $50 to
514; the third. $50 to 551, and
the final, $50 to 551.
GULL Shows Fight
Trailing by 10 pins at the start
of the afternoon set yesterday
at Silver Spring, Miss GULL looked
very much like she would over
take the illustrious blonde when
she won the first games, 1873 to
1913 and 102 to 80. However, the
champion found her bearings and
coaSted to victory.
Ida compiled 64 spares and 10
strikes, while Lorraine totaled A

Rounding Up the Crooks.

The effectiveness Of a co-ordinated
drive against criminals was demon
strated yesterday when, as a result of
simultaneous raids, upward of three
thousand counterfeiters, narcotics
peddlers and addicts, smugglers, liquor
tax evaders and other violators of the
law were arrested in different parts
of the country. This was the largest
roundup of lawbreakers ever at
tempted in the United States, and the
most successful 1t proved that with
careful preparation In complete
secrecy and with the utilization of
all the law enforcement agencies of
the Government headway can be
made against crime. While some of
those taken in the dragnet yesterday
may go free for lack of adequate evi-
dence of their participation in various
offenses against the Federal laws, the
final effect is certain to be wholesome
The Government has been planning
this raid for some time, concentrating
all the agencies of law enforcement
and preparing the moves in such a
manner that when the net was flung
and drawn the haul was certain to
be a large one. Not only were the
participants In the various criminal

activities taken In person, but large
amount of paraphernalia was seized
presses for printing counterfeits, stills
for the making of illicit liquor, stocks
of narcotics and smuggled goods. Evi-
dence, too, was obtained that will
probably be utilized later in the prose-
cution of leaders in these various Illicit
enterprises for violation of the income
tax laws.
In one respect the haul made yes
terday was especially effective. Some
of those taken into custody were the
leaders of these different illegal activi-
ties, the big shots" of the games, who
direct the field work Of many thou
sands of underiings. Their arrest,
with evidence, will go far toward the
cleaning up of the field.
The combined forces of the Gov
ernment yesterday concentrated upon
this drive numbered about 10000, the
largest army Of law enforcement ever
mustered in America, perhaps in any
country. The effectiveness of the
raids was the result of a long and
painstaking training of these repre-
sentatives of various bureaus and their
coordination under the direction of
a counsel comprised of the heads Of
the several agencies. Thus has been
proved the possibility of a unification
of law enforcement services for which
the law-abiding citizens of the land
are highly grateful.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The running of air through the
water by means of a small pump does
not alter anything. Many more fishes
may be kept, 1t is true, but the more
there are the more other factors will
tend to interfere with water perfection.
Often by removing just one pair Of
fishes from a tank great deal more
stable state will be attained. not only
to the betterment of water clarity, but
also in the health, speed and color Of
fishes.
This real balance" will free us
from the necessity of resorting to
filters, to help keep the water clean;
air pumps, to give enough oxygen and
sweep out the carbon dioxide; Dip
tubes, to take up excess food, and
many of the other tasks of aquarium
keeping.
Most of these would not be neces-
sary at all, or at least only at rare
intervals. II enthusiasts would abide
by the primary rule of thumb-not to
overcrowd.
The difficulty of this abiding comes
because each tank is standard all
to itself
II we have tank, for instance, with
five gallons Of water in it, many an en-
thuslaSt would refuse to concede that
five zebra fish, for instance, would be
enough.
Why, you could add a great many
more" and it is true.
We have seen as many as so Guppies
in that size aquarium. with clear water
! and lively fish, but the set-up really
was not right from any standpoint.
Such tank is an individual achieve
| ment, not a standard, nor really any
thing to be aimed at. The balance in
such tank is always on the border
line. If nothing happens, the owner
is just fortunate, that is ALL He de-
serves no praise.
Tropical fishes are so diverse in their
requirements that it is impossible TO
be precise in regard to rules for keep
ing them successfully.
Therefore, we would not advocate
an inch of fish per gallon of water
for them, but We will say that the
nearer this ideal is attained. the better
chance the owner has for a successful
| aquarium, the kind which looks best
and is best for the fishes.
The beginner may be excused for
| oyercrowding, but not the old hand.
| The latter invariably knows when he
has too many fishes in a tank for
their own good, He attempts to make
up for it by using pumps and gadgets,
but all the time he realizes his fall
/ ure.
Let him, then. as an experiment, try
doing right by the fishes in just one
| tank.
Let him put several into another
tank. or give them away, or sell them
if he can.
| Let him get that uncrowded look
at all costs.
! If he is a real fancier, he will have
more or less got over the desire to see
"a whole lot OF fish" swimming
around.
He will come to see, as the rosarian
does at last, that a few good speci-
mems are better than crowd of medi-
ocre ones
He will realize that half a dozen
1 specimens per five gallons are enough,
and he will rejoice at the better shape
Of those he has. and the greater free
dom from care, and the better con-
/ dition of their water.
| 1t must be pointed out that even
following this injunction is no sure
remedy for other ills. In aquarium
/ keeping. there is never anything sure

Ship Subsidy Plan Draws
Strong Support From Press

made by Congress Of equal amount
that would yield better returns either
in war or peace" The Manchester
IN. H.) Union maintains that such
a matter is not only a question of
national pride, but of national need:
we cannot afford to place our carry
ing trade on the seas at the mercy
of foreign shipping interests"
Objection to abnormal mail con-
tracts for overseas service is voiced
by the Port Huron (Mich) Times
Herald, the Wilkes-Barre CPa.) Times
Leader, the Chicago Journal of Com
merce. the Indianapolis Times and
the Pontiac (Mich) Press, These
papers indorse frankness in saying
that payments made by the Govern
ment represent subsidies for shipping.
"A direct is better than a con-
cealed subsidy" agrees the Rochester
IN " Times-Union, but why is
it necessary to SubSidiZe shipping
at all?" The Times Union concludes:
There is the war argument, of course.
But if We are to make every pos
sible preparation for war, we shall
never reach the end of expenditures.
Also it is precisely this matter Of
shipping goods under our own flag
in time Of major war that has more
than once dragged us into conflict.
Our coastal trade is already reserved
for American ships. Substituting ships
| for foreign trade is an improbable
venture. We would do well to aban-
don subsidies"

the Brooklyn Times-Union. fail to
see why the indirect subsidy was so
wicked and why a direct subsidy for
the same purpose Immediately be-
comes a virtue. 1t is not clear how
any saving can be made. 1t is simply
another way of doing the same thing.
The direct subsidy is to replace
the mail contracts. Anyhow, if We
are to build up a merchant marine.
that is the main thing. 1t was the
same way with the airmail con-
tracts. They we're also liberal in
order to build up commercial avi-
alton as a branch Of the air defense.
The airmail carriers claim to be
losing money and perhaps they may
also get subsidy"
Evening star., 1935-03-16

Gain in public approval Of ship
subsidies IS reflected by the comment
on President Roosevelt's suggestion
that the policy be adopted. 1t is held
by a large proportion of the press that
direct subsidies are preferable to pay
ments disguised as payments for mail
service. Some editors oppose any
Government participation in the ship
ping business, hut generally there is
strong support for any practicable
step in the direction of developing an
American merchant marine, for serv-
ice in war and peace.

the San Antonio CTexD Express,
shipping activities in several countries
are reviving, and the United States
must not allow its vessels to be driven

Need of subsidized shipping in time
of war is emphasized also by the Co
lumbus (Ohio) Evening Dispatch, the
Portland Oregon Journal, the Oshkosh
wis Daily Northwestern, the New
port News (Va.) Daily Press and the
Baltimore Evening Sun.
1T is automatic" asserts the Detroit
News, that if this country is to have
a merchant marine commensurate with
its size and importance, it must pay
subsidies as long as other nations dc
so and operate their ships more
cheaply than we can. 1t is logical,
also, that as long as the world con-
tinues to pile up armamentS in plepa-
ration for war. each nation, ours in
cluded. should provide itself with mer-
chant vessels to protect and preserve
its trade either as neutral or COM
batant, in case of war. But the coun-
try ought 20 know what such subsidy
policy costs. The amounts paid should
not be disguised as part of the cost of
carrying mails, nor should they be
based on the transportation of occa-
sional and unimportant letters, as too
many have been in the past"

DR.. Knight Dunlap, professor OF

about the same strata of the popula-
tion as those tested by Prof. Dunlap
But his findings, reported in this

the opposite. Most of his subjects
would take life over again-good and
bad together. Only one out of six
would choose extinction. Some rep
reSentative groups were much more
pessimistic than others, however
The largest proportion of extinction
choices came from those under the

The second largest, curiously enough
came from a group of % college un-

One result of the depression-some

The rate in 1888, it is shown by an

lowest since 1915 and very likely the
lowest in the Nations history. 1t was
1914 per Thousand, compared with
TIA per thousand in 1882. The
mortality rate per thousand births
also was slightly higher-58.2 per
thousand, compared with SIS in
1882.
The fall in the birth rate was
chiefly in the industrial areas OF the
