Capital Wonders
About Probe of
High Court Book

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. UP
The capital speculated today as
to possible hidden motives behind
the proposed senate judiciary
committee investigation into the
sensational Pearson-Allen book on
the supreme court = Nine Old
men,"
Some believed that Sen. Joseph
F. Guffey, D., Pa, might have
been seeking a wider audience
for the volume which lambasts
the nine jurists who outlawed his
coal control act. Others, guessed
that the move was part of an at
tempt to remove the mystery from
the men who compose the tribu-
nal.
Some suggested that perhaps
those who favored curtailing the
courts powers were seeking tc

cause of the break, about 1000
feet west of the Imperial avenue
near the north city limits, has not
been determined officially because
the line has not yet been reached
by eXcavators.
Seepage from a nearby canal,
however, undermining a rock foun-
dation laid for the sewer line, is
believed to have caused settling,
which in turn caused break in
the new pipe line. No official ac-
ton was taken by the council.
The new sewer line was turned
over to the city several months
ago after completion of a PWA
contract for its construction. 1t
replaced the old line, in which
breaks had been so numerous that
it was said by engineers to be
a menace to health and safety.
In addition to considering the
sewer break, councilmen Tuesday
night authorized expenditure of
S275 for construction of a police
pistol range at the city pumping
plant.

Mount Ararat is a twin-peaked

Flag of Nova Scotia Is
Traced to King James

Nova Scotia has the distinction of
being the only province of the Do
minion of Canada, and the first col
ony of Great Britain, to possess
flag of its own. The flag Of Nova
Scotia is a silver field with blue
st. Andrews Cross, small shield
with the Royal Arms of Scotland
(gold, lion rampant red, teeth,
claws, and tongue blue, within a
double tressure fory-counterflory
feurs-de-lys red) being placed as an
inescutcheon upon the cross.
It traces it's origin to the Charter
of New Scotland granted in 1921 to
Sir William Alexander afterwards
the Earl Of Stirling) by King James
VI of Scotland and of England. In
this charter the name, Nova Scotia,
which is the Latin form Of New
Scotland, first appeared in contra
distinction to Acadia or the Acadie
of the French.
The flag itself is derived from the
royal coat of arms granted to
Nova Scotia in 1925 by King Charles
of England, the son and successor
of James VI. This ancient and
beautiful armorial is the oldest of
all the arms borne by the British
dominions.

Pickerel, Leopard Frog

The pickerel frog and the leopard
frog have much in common, both in
appearance and habits, though the
members of the leopard frog clan
are probably more numerous. Pos
sessed of long, slender body, long
head, large eyes and smooth skin
with prominent lateral folds and a
number of smaller longitudinal folds
between them, this frog may have
body coloring of either green,
brown or gray above and yellowish
white beneath. 1t takes it's name
from the mottled appearance of its
body, the marking on the back be-
ing dark brown outlined in lighter
shade. Both this frog and the
pickerel frog wander away from
their native lakes and streams in
search for food, but the leopard frog
is most given to travelling on land
and therefore most often seen. The
greater wariness and quicker leap
of the pickerel frog may have some
thing to do with this, however.

Carp Is Native Of China;
Once Served to Princess

The carp is an Asiatic fish related
to the catfish, introduced into Eng
land in the beginning of the Seven
teeth century. 1t is a fresh-water
fish with large scales and with no
adipose fin, and with blunt round
ed snout with four barbels. It's US
ual length is IL to 20 inches, al
though it sometimes grows larger.
The carp, according to writer in
the Indianapolis News, prefers still
waters with a soft muddy bottom in
which it buries itself in winter. It
feeds on small aquatic inverte-
brates, insects, and vegetable SUBJ
stances. It is very tenacious of life
and will live considerable time out
of water. In Holland it sometimes
is kept three or four weeks suspend
ed in net with wet moss and fed
with bread soaked in milk.
The common carp in the United
States is abundant in many streams,
but is not much esteemed for food.
The carp is native of China and the
Far East and probably came into
Europe early in the Christian era.
In the Sixth century it was taken in
the Danube and was a costly fish
supplied only at the tables of
princes. In the Thirteenth century
it was cultivated in Germany and
France and the remains of ponds
still are shown near old monasteries
where the monks raised carp. From
their efforts in breeding came many
domesticated varieties, such as the
Mirror carp, or King carp, with
very large scales; the Leather carp,
with thick soft skin and and few
or no scales; the Saddle carp, with
row of large scales down the back.
The generic name, Cyprinus, is
from the Greek kyprinos, carp.
Carpio is the Latin for carp.
