~ I'D you ever hear Of the galli-
wasp or the li1ard fish? It Is
to be found on the Atlantic
- Coast, and 1t has q cousin
that Is we'll known on the Pacific
Coast.
The lizard fishes have been so named
because Of the shape Of the head and
very large mouth. Besides, the head Is
scaly, something that IS most unusual
among the soft-rayed fishes.
Most Of the lizard fishes love to
stay close to shore. Some of them are
brightly colored. This is especially
true Of the Pacific Coast cousin. But
many Of the species are cleverly COL
ored in order that they may lie close
to the sand on the bottom, where the
mottled back escapes the sight Of all
but the alert.
As you can see, the body is long and
slender. The snout is pointed, the
eye large and the large mouth Is filled

Taddy was a baby. OF course. All
Tadpoles are babies. Some are baby
Frogs, and some are baby Toads.
Taddy was baby Toad Perhaps you
would have called him a Pollywog.
Tadpoles and Pollywogs are the same,
just Frog and Toad babies. Who takes
care of these babies? No one but Old
Mother Nature. From the time they
give their funny little tails the first
wiggle and begin to swim they must
look out for themselves, for there is
no one else to do it for them.
Taddy was tiny and black. One
who knew nothing about Frogs and
Toads, seeing him for the first time,
never would have guessed that he was
even related to Frogs or Toads. There
wasn't a thing about him to suggest
such relationship. He looked as if he
might be queer little fish of some
sort. You see, he had long tail and
he used it to swim with, after the
manner OF fish. His father and
mother have no tails. Then Taddy
breathed in the water as fish does,
having gills for that purpose. Father

this procedure would have lost a trick

was necessary to take this chance, as
otherwise Mr. Won Zedtwitz would
be blocked in trumps and the squeeze

Mr.. Won Zedtwitz next played the

forced to make three discards. He

David Eyuk, a native of lgloo, is the owner of two brown bear cubs, which were brought to town Saturday and parked outside the kitchen of the U. s. jail, where they receive their daily menu.
 The young bears were born about March this year, and were secured from the Wallace Porter boys, of Dime creek, taken to the coast by dog team and thence via airplane to Solomon, thence via auto truck to Nome. Their own CT does not know just what he is going to do with them, but thinks he might sell them later on.
 In this connection the matter of obtaining them and Keeping the cubs by the Chamber of Com merce or the Fair Association, as an attraction for the tourist to ar rive here on the uly and August sailings of the s. s. Victoria, may be a good business proposition. The cubs are only about 4 months old and are at the playful age, when everybody wants to see or take a picture of bears, and send home to show the folks how close they can get to a bear in Nome.

Teachers Oppose
Proposed Plan for
Free Text Books

Proposed state legislation which
is pending and which affects the
schools was commented upon to-
day by C. B. Collins, county su-
perintendent. who recently attend
ed the meeting of the legislation
committee of the California Teach
ers association.
One proposal IS the one author
izing payment from public funds
for free text books or transporta-
ton to pupils in non-public schools.
This is opposed by the C.T.A.
Another for the repeal of the
sales tax is also opposed, the CT.
A. believing this tax to be de-
pendable, reliable and regular.
Tenure is the subject of num-
Der of bills which vary in type,
some proposing to do away with
teacher tenure entirey and others
extending it to schools beyond the
$50 average daily attendance re-
quirement. The general attitude Of
the teachers association IS that
the present law should not be
changed.
One bill relates to the use Of
school buildings and if passed no
school board or school authorities
will have any right to question
those wishing to use the school
house as a civic center. Amy group
may use it regardless of race, creed
political affiliation, to discuss any
topic desired and school authori-
ties will be powerless 70 prevent
such use if the law is passed.
In the opposite extreme is a
bill which if passed would require
every teacher and every pupil TO
take an oath of allegiance once a
month or more frequently.

You've seen basketball players
shoot baskets from all angles of
the court, watched them shoot
shots over their heads and even
bounce them from the floor into
the basket. But you haven't seen a
thing until you watch the Terrible
SWedes in action.
Olsen's Terrible Swedes will give
an exhibition of basketball fans
will not soon forget when they
tangle with the junior college on
the Central court Monday night.
Every player on the Swede roS-
ter towers over the six feet mark
and each player is a deadly SHOT
from any position on the floor.
You marveled at the passing of the
Clowns. Wait until you watch the
SWedes bounce the ball to all sec
tions of the court.
The transforming cavorters will
bounce the ball off their heads,
knees and elbows and more than
half of the time the casaba will
drop through the netting as though
drawn by a magnet.
The junior collegians will be
given a valuable lesson in how
the game should be played when
they tangle with the Swedes, and
fans will be treated to an exhibi-
ton that will overshadow anything
ever witnessed in the valley.

TRADE PROSPECTS
REMAIN BRIGHT.
Standard Statistics Finds
No Sign of Top-Heavy
Inventories.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CpeCldl OlSpdtCU 10 Inc SIdr-
NEW YORK, May 2o.-Contrary to
the frequently heard assertion that
business Is verging on sharp slump,
that the thing that will pull it down is
burdensome inventories accumulated
by many industries during the early
months of the year and that this is
what is the matter with the stock
market. the Standard Statistics Co.
observes that intensive investigation
has failed to provide any concrete EVIL
dence of top-heavy inventories in any
industry.
ut is true that during the early
months Of the year large amount Of
advance ordering was undertaken as
trend of commodity prices, wage rates
and taxes. But it is equally true that
in many instances in which manage
ments were being what they thought
was forehanded, demand has since run
so far ahead of expectations as to alb
serb the bulk of stored materials.
THE margin by which manufactur-
ers and retailers bought ahead was just
about the margin by which they under
estimated demand. Thus, whatever
business reaction grows out of the
drop in commodity prices, and con-
sequent removal of what was the
major stimulant to large scale forward
buying, should be limited to the
amount by which ultimate consump-
ton tapers off.
ut is, of course, possible that labor
will turn suddenly thrifty with its
newly acquired wealth, that the farm
population will refuse to be influenced
by the improved crop prospects and
that larger dividend payments will not
be reflected in demand for almost
everything people need to buy, but it
is not probable"
