Spotted Scorpion Fish
(ScOrpena).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

IN THE great family of Scorpeni-
dae, or scorpion fishes. there are
so many members and of such a
L variety Of form and coloration
that ichthyologists have despaired
naming them all.
The scorpion fish that is we'll known
in NORTH Carolina is Of a grayish
color, with large eyes and snout OF
equal size. There are regular black
blotches over the skin and there is a
white fringed flap on the anterior
nostril. The dorsal and anal fins are
irregularly marbled. The caudal fin
is white, with a broad meridian and
narrow terminal black bar which is
vertical. The pectoral fins are family
barred and the ventral fins are of a
somber black hue.
The somewhat compressed body Is
rather long. The head is rough be-
cause of the greatly distorted ridges
and grooves. The gill rakers are few
in number. The ctenoid scales are
we'll developed.
The large, haddocklike eyes give to
the fish an expression Of intelligence.
In spite of its armor-co head and
its dreadful spines that can inflict a

Scorpion fish give birth to their
young and a very great number Of
them are born in the summer. At
birth they are n of an inch long.
The youngsters keep as close to the
shore as possible to avoid large, hum

Scorpion fish are bizarre creatures
that do their fishing by resting quietly

disillusionment.
She was Wilma Leaycroft, 18, a

All day Monday and most of yes

the plant while he did his daily
stint inside. Neighbors noticed her
Monday, but thought it was some
kind of a gag. When she showed
up again in chains yesterday, word
got around and a lot of people
stopped by to see what it was all
about.
Wilma's story was really re-
markable.
Along came Chief Of Police
Frank Hickey. He questioned
Wilma a minute or two and then
asked:
"Who is this boy friend OF

Wilma told him. Whereupon

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA
G.N.S0.-Out of the collapse of
negotiations for peace in the strike
of 5000 employees of 81 major San
Francisco department stores new
hopes rose today for settlement Of
the dispute.
Refusing to accept the collapse
as a final impasse, Mayor Angelo
Rossi ordered City Attorney John
J. O'Toole to draft a compromise
seniority clause.
Spokesman for the Retailers
Council approved the new draft
after four hours of conference
with the mayor last night and
later it was handed to representa-
tives of the Department Store En-
ployeS Union.
The latter group took the COM
promise under adviSement. They
are to report back to Mayor RoSsi.

RESIDENT OF D. C.

Monument

The Washington Monument
seems to grow higher with the
years, according to 9l-year-old
William M. George, of 619 B St.
N. E., who as a child in his
mothers arms was present when
the cornerstone of the monument
was dropped into place in 1848.
Mr.. George celebrated his latest
birthday yesterday surrounded by
his children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, all of whom
were regaled with the oldster's
tales of a Washington they never
knew.
A resident of the District for
80 years, Mr.. George retired IL
years ago from the post of engi-
neer custodian at the Abraham
Lincoln School, Second and C
Streets Southeast, after the Board
of Education had granted him ex-
tensions Of service on three prior
occasions.
