Court Should Examine
Laws Before Enforcement

To the Editor Of The Star.
I have been reading after some of
the writer's on the Supreme Court ques-
ton and I cannot understand where they
get all their ideas from They are GER
tainly not from the American Constitu-
ton, or they do not sound like it did
when I read it.
The Constitution says our Govern
ment shall be divided into three
brancheS-the legislative, the executive
and the judicial And it goes on to say
that the legislative, being directly re-
Sponsible to the people, is to make the
laws for them without interference Only
the Executive may recommend change
in law, but there is no must" to it.
When the laws are drafted we have
the judiciary, whose duty it is to in
terpret those laws, or, in other words
to examine them very carefully and
decide If they are in accord with the
Constitution. If they are then they
become laws that are not questioned
I believe that law passed by Congress
ought to go to the Supreme Court to be
passed upon before it is given to the
President to sign
AS the head of our Government we
duty it is. not to draft our laws for us,
not to interpret our laws for us, but to
see that our laws are put into effect
and take note on the workings of those
laws in effect.
Now, I think the more we study this
Constitution of ours, the less fault we
will find with it. Instead of taking a
slow pace as in the horse and buggy
days and studying the article, they take
a flying machine hop and skip all the
important part, and when they alight
they do not know where they are and
want to make Congress do so and so
and want to do away with the Supreme
Court so to speak, or make it SO un-
Wieldy that it will never get anywhere
AS for the November mandate, if it
was to come off now presume it would
say, You must stopi" I. S. POPE.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The notorious good fortune Of be-
glnnerS seldom applies to keeping fishes
in the home aquarium.
More often than not the first attempt
is an abJect failure, resulting in the
deaths of the animals, whether these
are goldfishes or exotics.
What the beginner fails to keep in
mind is that he is handling, or at
tempting to handle life
Almost always, too, he underestimates
the amount of skill required in setting
up a tank properly and managing the
section of aquatic life so that the health
of the inmates, both animals and
plants, is conserved
These two stumbling blocks over, as
the result of disaster, and the good
passage Of time, he or she who used
head as well as eyes, and has the
capacity for profting from personal
failures, stands a good chance of be-
coming an expert aquarist.
If one realizes that life is what is
being handled, and that the fishes in
their new home must find approximately
the same living conditions of their ma
tive habitats, within reason, several facts
come to mind:
The first is that fishes seldom are
subjected, in Nature, to drastic changes
of temperature. This means of course,
change of water temperature, of that
element in which the animals swim and
breathe and have their being
Hours are required for the water in
even small outdoor pools to go down
as much as 10 degrees. Every one
has had the experience of some sudden
weather change at the seashore, when
the ocean water next day is still warm,
despite the icy wind which sweeps in
from the Nor'eaSt.
The great sea does not change its
temperature quickly. The same fact
applies to the smallest stream or pool
No aquatic animal. or plant, is subjected
to drastic change, either higher or
lower temperature, all of a sudden
If the change comes, it comes only as
the result of several hours, or days
even, so that the temperature of the
cOld-blooded animals keeps pace. slowly
going up or down, in keeping with the
water temperature.
drastic change is a shock such
as not even a cold-blooded creature ap-
preciateS, nor knows how to handle
Subtle changes are set up in tissues
which work to the disadvantage of the
animal. The question of osmosis. or
the passage Of liquids slowly through
membrane, comes to the fore. Fishes,
always in the swim, are subject to con-
Stant oSmotlc action. Chemicals in the
water pass into the animals body, and
some already in tend to be drawn out
Temperature has a great deal to do
with these changes. 1t may be believed
that the too sudden introduction of
certain salts into the body of the fish
through oSmosis may be the forerunner
of disease.
Use of a thermometer, then, in
handling all aquatic animals, is the first
wisdom in amateur fish keeping
Usually it is a wisdom which comes
only as the result OF sad loss and much
miSgiVlng.
One might as well start off correctly.
Buy a small ten-cent thermometer
with your first fishes.
Whether they are humble goldfshes
or more costly 'tropicals" makes no
difference.
The first are more hardy, no doubt
Of it, but are fishes just the same. and
the good rules which apply to one sort
apply equally to the other, although

the fiddle upon which Nero commonly
is believed to have played the while the
city was a bonfire. But the legend is
a libel on the violin, not properly created
until Antonio Stradivari of Cremona saw
light of day in the seventeenth century.
In the interim, Leonardo da Vinci at
tained celebrity for his performance on
the Lutte as well as for painting the two
most widely famous pictures in the world.
And the troubadours with their joglars
wandered over Europe reciting romantic
verse to string accompaniment. The
organ was developed in medieval cathe-
drals, and the piano was perfected in the
palaces and mansions of that aristocracy
which the French Revolution was de-
signed to exterminate later boom
season-contemporary with the presi-
dency of Calvin Coolidge-produced the
modern saXophone in it's cataphonic
glory.
And now under the New Deal America
is endowed with the bazooka, put to-
gether by Bob Burns of Arkansas for
the edif1cation of the masses over the
radio. No relation to the author of THE
Cotter's Saturday Night" the promoter
of the present fad assembled piece of
gas pipe, tin funnel and fragmant
of WaXed paper to hum through. The
result was inevitable. Every drug store
currently offers the darn things" for
sale to those armies of small boys who
seem to be born to int1ict torture on
already overburdened adult nervous
systems.
The number of bazookaS-of different

next few months should run into millions.

believe. Is not the goldfish child's
toy, he asks himself, and have not
thousands of them been kept without
a thermometer?
Thousands upon thousands of them
have died, too, after spending a few
miserable days and nights in a bowl
or tank of water which happened to be
20 to 30 degrees warmer than the water
in which they were brought from the
store.
Give the fishes a break
Buy and use a thermometer, from
the beginning
Take the temperature of the bucket
of water, after it is home, and then
equalize the water into which they are
placed
One or two degrees difference will do
no harm, but over that, the fishes
must add just another difficulty to their
change, which is drastic at the best
Suppose the water in the paper bucket
shows so degrees.
If tank already has been set up
and is planted, it probably will show
68 degrees, or maybe 10, and even 78,
If the aquarium is placed in a sunny
window, or close to q hot water radiator
There is nothing TO do, then, if you
want to do right by your new charges,
except to place the bucket near the
tank, and let it remain for several hours,
until the water is the same temperature,
or practically so, in both tank and
bucket
Very few persons, alas, have enough
forethought to set up tank in advance,
and get the water seasoned"
Usually it is a Whoop-hooray affair
Of putting in sand (unwashedJ, plant
ing, and dumping in the fishes, all at
the same time.
If this is done, be sure to test the
water and see that it is the same
temperature as the water in the bucket
If the water into which the fishes are
to go is too cold, it may be warmed up
with the addition of hot water. Do not
be afraid to do this, but at the same
time be very sure that the resulting
mixture is tested carefully several
minutes later, so that the full degree of
possible warmth has shown up.
If the water is 100 warm, it may be
cooled down. 1t is very simple but it
requires care, and some little expert
ence, to do it correctly. Fishes so moved
show no strain from the change It must
be kept in mind that they may not
show it at the time, even when drasticalIy
different temperatures are involved, but
that they will show it later, if the
change is too all al once
The other fundamental failure of the
beginner is simply that he almost al
ways tends to underestimate the amount
of intelligence necessary to take care
of his fishes.
1t is true that often no brains at
all are used, nevertheless the keeper
is successful. If so, he had very hardy
specimens, to begin with, or fortune
was with him. or both
Handling fishes in a small amount
OF water is a science. 1t requires intell-
gence to get good results because one
must overcome handicaps, resulting
from comparatively small amount of
water inherent in the situation.
That these can be overcome is shown
by many beautiful tanks, both of exotic.
or tropical, specimens. and of gold
fishes. But in every case some intelH-
gence is required and a good beginning
is made when one does not under
estimate the study needed and when
one buys and uses thermometer from

than half that peak. Lumber tonnage
carried by rail in 1885 was exceeded only
by coal, iron, ore and oil. Ninety per
cent of all household furniture is of

lumber in 1923 went into railroad car
construction, falling to about third
of that figure in 1888. About 80 per
