THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

While aquarium fishes are always in
swimming, that does not mean that they
necessarily are enjoying life.
Thousands of them, including both
goldf1shes and their tropical cousins,
suffer terribly in hot weather.
If the heat and humidity make you
puff and fume, feel pretty sure that they
have much the same effect on these per-
petual swimmers.
Conditions with them are really worse,
in extremely hot weather, because the
warmer the water becomes, the more
the oxygen is driven out of it.
This might not be so bad If the
life, but overcrowding is the rule in 999
out of a thousand tanks, to state 1t
mildly.
This applies particularly to the gold
fish bowl, or aquarium, which almost
always houses twice as much fish life
as it should carry.
The first rule in Summer fish keep
ing is to see to it that the animals
many people do not realize that fishes
are animals-are not overcrowded.
This is easy with the humble goldfish,
favorite of the millions. Easy in theory,
that is, hard in actual practice.
If the average small specimen were
given one gallon of water, many of the
ills goldfish flesh is heir to would give
way to piScatorial health.
Then there would be few people say
ing, as so many do now, "Oh, I just
can't keep goldfish. They all die!'
No wonder.
Trying to keep II specimens in a
L@x, II III
recently, is what makes goldfishes fold
up their fins and die. CAll but two
of his did, within a week, helped by the
warm weather.
Those who aspire to keep this type
of life should first browbeat themselves
into the mental idea of fewer and better
fishes in bigger and better aquariumS.
The usual idea possessed by the aver
age beginner, and too often, alas, by
the experienced, is to keep as many
fishes as possible in as little water as
possible.
"A whole lot of fish" is the average
mental picture.
1t is easy to understand. but it is all
wrong, and it results in millions of poor
fish dying long before their time, after
suffering untold agonies, in many in
stances being slowly suffocated and
starved to death.
The tragedy of it is that no one wishes
to do this.
There is extant in goldfish literature
(of which there is great deal more now
than many might realize) story to the
effect that one woman never fed her
pets at all, believing that they got their
food in some mysterious way out of the
water
Newly hatched fry may, feeding on
invisible infusoria, if by chance there
happen to be any of the latter in the
water, but grown fishes cannot eat such
microscopic animalcules. They must
have real food.
Their need for food, however, is per-
haps not as great, in a sense, as their
compelling need for oxygen.
Their life, as ours, depends upon this
vital gas.
The balanced aquarium" of which
one hears so often, is quite as often very
poorly balanced. indeed. If a tank
never-well, hardly ever-needs atten-
tion, but goes along all right, week after
week, with only the addition of some
fresh and tempered water now and then,
it shows positively one big thing!
That it is not overcrowded, rather
than that it is balanced"
Let us forget about balancing an
aquarium, which simply means proper

HelgOland.

In the midst of Europes CONSERVATION
and wonderment over the Austro-Ger-
man accord and its immeaSurable impli-
cations, the Reich has sprung another
surprise. 1t is fortifying the Island of
Helgoland the famous North Sea out
post once known as Germany'S "Gibral-
tar" Like the Rhineland, Helgoland
supposedly was permanently demilitar-
lied by the Versailles treaty. Now, in
the process OF Scrapping that crumbling
and discredited document clause by
clause, Hitler has reached the point of
once again turning into a sturdy fortress
the rock bound bit of German territory
lying off the mouths of the Elbe and
Weser Rivers. Though it hardly eyer
deserved comparison with the Glib" from
the standpoint of impregnability, Helgo-
land was always a vital link in Ger
many's naval defense plans. During the
World War it was an advanced base for
submarines, destroyers and aircraft. One
or two minor engagements with units
of the British Navy took place in the
"Bight" of Helgoland. The promontory
having we'll served the strategic purposes
of the German high seas fleet, it is now
to be equipped to play its old role in
the Reichs scheme at sea. The island,
only a mile long and third of mile
wide, was ceded to Germany by Great
Britain in 1890 as part of a dead whereby
France received Madagascar and Ger
many Helgoland, in exchange for
Franco German recognition of British
supremacy in Zanzibar, of the East
African coast.

does not lie in the little islands mill
tary or naval Importance, though this
Is not entirely negligible. Interest
rather attaches to the affair because
of it's fresh proof of Germany's progress
sive contempt for the Versailles treaty.
It follows within few months the re-
militarizing of the Rhineland. 1t is on
all fours with the earlier defiance OF
the Versailles embargoes on conscription,
rearmament and military aircraft in
Germany. Preparations had long since
gone by the board. The Fuehrer'S pri-
vate arrangement with Great Britain in
June 1885, smashed the Versailles naval
clauses. The Saar has been recovered,
the Nazis now threaten Danzig, and
Austria has been proclaimed "a Ger
man state" under guarantee of her
sovereignty" but with full liberty of
internal political action for the Austrian
NaZi party.
Helgoland thus becomes another mile
stone on the road to Germany's COM
plete liberation from the dictate" OF
Versailles, imposed upon the conquered
Reich by the allied powers, which seem
paralyzed and supine in the face OF
the NaziS' determination to order their
own destinies, regardless of treaty stipu-
lationS There remain two primary
features of the pact, along with cer-
tain territorial arrangements, which Hit
ler has not yet succeeded in wiping out
the war guilt" clause and the provision
deprlving Germany of her colonies. How
long will it now be before Berlin moves
to make dead letters of these, likewise?

self to the job of being housewife and
mother.
The idea, of course, Is to develop once
again the frayed theory that a married
woman who does not have to earn q
living is not only shirking but violating
her duty to the home and to society.
OF far greater importance to the well
fare of home and society and to the
economic order in this country is the
problem of the woman who works, not
because she must, not because she
wants to, but because she can draw
salary that she knows she has not
the ability to earn. The woman who
really earns the pay she receives for
her services has never been q problem
except in the minds of those who have
never been willing to grant that the
female OF the species Is endowed with
brain. The problems that have arisen
through the occupation of women in
business and in the professions have
been caused by those who work from
necessity and hate it, and by those who
work because 1t helps to pass hours
that offer nothing more eventful. The
hue and cry about the social parasite
has had its effect. In its evolvement it
has created the still graver problem of
the business and professional parasite.
Marriage with home life for the business
woman can be and is being successful.
If the same rules of common sense and
respect for individuality that prevail in
all other human relationships and con.
ditions are applied to the business home
situation there can be no failure in
either institution.

I'VE ought to stop the folly of

clude bad labor conditions. 1 think
that real minimum wages and

would be placed on powers of the
