A correspondent wants to know what
has become of the former favor1te OF
this column, the ubiquitous guppy, a.
he calls it.
The guppy is very much alive and
in the swim in million tanks.
This little fish, the best Of all tropical
specimens for the beginner, is also one
OF the very best for the experienced
aquarist.
Summer Is the time q pair Of them
should be adopted. Then there is no
worry about keeping the water warm
enough for their best health.
This is one fish which may be kept
in a very small amount Of water with
out harm to 1t. Even the two and three
quart bowls are sufficiently large for
a pair Of these fishlets, II nothing larger
offers.
The male is the bright little fellow
with the colored spots.
Usually, when full grown, he Is not
more than three-fourths Of an inch II
length.
The female is larger. and bulkier, and
of uniform silvery color, with touch
OF faint olive.
She seldom exceeds an inch or at
most an inch and q quarter long.
These creatures can stand more as
sorted abuse than any other fishes used
in the home aquarium, but that does
not mean that they should be made to
bear 1t.
Happily they are free, or almost 90
from the overcrowding which causes
the deaths of so many other fishes kept
IvH fQVnrtfA
suffer the most from lack Of oxygen
and too much carbon dioxide gas.
Just because guppies are guppies and
most persons seem to f1nd something
funny" about the word, Is no real
reason why they should not be given
a properly planted and kept aquarium
It is convenient that this tank need
not be large. A 2-gallon affair will
suffice for the first guppies.
Evensa gallon aquarium will do, pro.
vided the owner knows what he is
doing. But so many persons buy gup-
pies as their first fishes that usually 1t
is best to use nothing less than 2
gallons Of water. This provides for the
growth Of the population, at the same
time 1t gives all the inmates plenty OF
room.
Such an aquarium, while not really
large. gives enough room for a few
guppies. They seem very small in such
a tank. Most persons who have had
a little experience with keeping fishes
know how terribly crowded larger speci-
mems appear in many of the tanks
which people maintain. The habit is
to keep on adding specimens until tn.
water positively will hold no more.~
This procedure may be carried to
great lengths with tropical, more prop
eriy exotic fishes, for they demand very
little oxygen. in comparison with cold
water fishes the most universal example
being the truly ubiquitous goldfish.
The guppy is not only an interesting
fish because it is live bearer but
also because it enables almost any one
interested in the subject to keep his
favorites properly.
There is a right and a wrong way
here, as in most matters. Little slivers
of life. these guppies. but If one is going
to keep them at all, they should be kept
properly.
The right way is to get a rectangular
tank, preferably 2 to gallons, and

Curious About.Face.

A source of much of the opposition
to the proposed Jefferson Memorial is
in the mysterious secrecy under which
the Jefferson Memorial Commission has
proceeded from the very beginning.
The commission has not been frank in
its dealings with the public. The latest
example of this lack of candor is the
curious about-face Of the commission
revealed in correspondence between Mr..
Gilmore Clarke, chairman Of the Com
mission Of Fine Arts, and Representa-
tive John ]. Boylan, chairman Of the

day: Had Pinchot been chosen the
Republican opponent to Jones the CAM
paign here in the fall would have been
confusing beyond unraveling. AS 1t Is.
Jones will make the most of his claim
to be considered a New Dealer and
James (the Republican candidate) will
run on an outright reactionary and anti
Roosevelt platform" Stern supported
Pinchot for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination and Kennedy for the Demo-
cratic. In the Record editorial he warned
the Jones-Earle leaders not to be too
cocky over their victory. They would
need the Kennedy voters badly, he
said.
That is very true, and the Democrats
are waiting for sign of what John
L. Lewis and his c. I. O. are going to
do. It seems a reasonable guess that
Lewis will hook up with the Democratic
State ticket. He can expect little from
the Republicans. Also Mr.. Farley can
say that he did his best for Lewis and
his candidate. Kennedy, In the Pennsyl-
vania fight. In fact, Mr.. Farley may
have had some such thought in mind
when he made his statement for Ken
nedy last Monday.
AS Mr.. Stern remarked in his editorial,
the fight in Pennsylvania next fall will
be strictly New Deal and anti-New Deal,
with the Republicans taking the anti
side. It would look now as though
the Republicans had fair chance for
victory. However, in these days of huge
Government pay rolls and an ability to
throw hundreds of millions Of dollars
into State like Pennsylvania during the
campaign, political prediction has be-
come something else. An Offset to this
