Headline Folk
and What
They Do
Aquarist Gave Eels to
Cats and They Quit
Catching Fish.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

N THIS writer's boyhood, we all
fervently believed that oil made
from angleworms made you timber
If you rubbed it on your joints and
muscles. In the amateur barn circuses,
the contortionists all were massaged
vigorously with angleworm oil. Old
Dad Eastman, the tinware peddler,
who had Travelled widely in his wagon
and whom we esteemed as Q learned
man, told us that angleworm oil was
the best thing in the world for rheu-
matism and that he thought OF pro-
noting company to put it on the
market. One enterprising boy among
us, who later became a great money
maker, filled lot of bottles with
angleworm oil and put up big sign
in his front yard, "Old DR.. Metcalfs
celebrated rheumatism cure"
The boys father, q gruf1, old-fash-
ioned country doctor, kicked the sign
to pieces when he came home to din.
ner-not lunch-that noon, and
whaled the boy plenty. I forgot all
about worm oil until I saw the little
Chocoi Indians In South America
using as medicine exudations from
worms which had been exposed in the
tropical sun, for the special benefit
of the oldsters Of the tribe.
This long-neglected worm pharma-
copoeia is lightly sidesw1ped in the
news by the finding of DR.. Chris
topher w. Coates. Of the New York
hot fhA
Indians used eels to cure rheumatism.
Not that eels are worms, but I do
think 1t is quite possible that 1t was
small eels and not worms that 7 saw
the Indians using. Electric therapy il

DR.. Coates, an imaginative scientist.
finds that an eel can generate enough
power to kill horse. Several years
ago. he rigged an ordinary electric
light bulb to an eel dynamo and it
lit up nicely.
When he was a boy DR.. Coates
started going to the aquarium every
day to watch and study the fish.
After this had been going on for
years, they discovered he knew as
much or more about flsh than any
one around there. So when Miss
Ida Mellen resigned several years ago
as head of the tropical nsh department..
he got the Job. He IS one of the best
known aquarists Of the country, trav-
els lot and enjoys himself tremen-
dously. Breaking the aquarium cats
of catching fish was his idea. They
must have the cats to police the rats.
DR.. Coates tosses a small electric eel
to rookie cat. The cat swears of
catching fish. That ought to make
a good news reel bit.
DR.. Coates finds fish are quite phle-
matte creatures under normal condi-
tions. They become nervous under
the public gaze, this being aggravated
by their having to look out instead Of
up. He tries to get them all the pri-
vacy he can, but that is difficult, con-
sidering the main purpose Of an

quently when he is confronted with a
complaint issued by the commission
in question. Sometimes these commits
sions have power to put a man out
OF business or to cause him huge
financial losses 50 the procedure is no
trivial matter.
Trial examiners ought to be chosen
by civil service or they ought to be
assigned to cases on a rotating panel
through the cooperation of Federal
judges who name receivers or special
masters. They should be independent
of the Federal commissions and be-
holden in no way to them. Since these
examiners take the testimony and
virtually act as judges in trial courts
of the first category in the series of
judicial steps taken by the citizen it
Is important that the fact-finding
tribunal be an honest one and that
the procedure be fair in every sense.
1t is obviously not fair to have exami-
ners picked by the commissions from
their own employees as is sometimes
true nor is it fair to pick them because
of their economic bias as has often

not the ways out. He recognizes the
fundamental fact of the stage Of eco
nomic development in which we now
are: Namely, that industry and tech
nique have run miles, and generations,
ahead of finance. Industry and tech
nique are revolutionary. Finance is
conservative. Industry and technique
have created a new earth; they have
pulled down fire from heaven; their
ingenuity is breath-taking: they have
set tons Of steel swimming through
the air; they have harnessed unseen
waves of ether to make voice and
song travel as fast as light from one
end of the world to the other: they
have turned beans into automobile
bodies and air into fertilizers and
acetyline gas into wood substitutes,
and wood into velvet-thereby de-
stroying one set Of economic values
and creating others, all at the same
time, and with upsetting speed, while
finance has shown no similar imagi-
nation or ingenuity, and probably
least Of all in this country.
He sees that the essential problem
Is to make capital work, to Undue it
with a new enterprsing spirit. and
he knows that new social and finan-
cial inventions are needed for that.
Revolution Not Permissible.
He also knows that what is no
longer permissible in this world is
revolution. He knows that the class
struggle leading toward revolution is
not allowed. 1t is not permissible,
because the society in which we live
is so interdependent and complicated
that under revolution, or even with
the breakdown for few hours Of the
highly complicated economic mech
anism, millions Of people would perish.
He knows that the theory of over
production is stark nonsense. Ger
tainly there is overproduction of
certain commodities. simply because
the more economic production of
other commodities to take their places
or changes in habits of living. or new
forms of world organization affecting
international markets, drive them into
obsolescence. But the frontiers for
horizontal expansion, the social and
economic frontiers, are not only not
yet exhausted, they are not even visible
yet to the imaginative eye.
He sees that the work relief pro-
gram, which simply shunts of a
large part of the population into what
threatens to become permanent sub
standard class, living in an illusory
world on the humanitarian instincts
Of the rest. is not progressive" but
pure defeatism
He sees that we are headed for
disaster If We continue to put the
emphasis on distribution rather than
on production, to believe that the cake
can constantly be recut to provide
enough for all, when the cake is grow
ing steadily smaller. I'VE are con-
suming more than We produce"-and

been true of Labor Board selections.
The critics of the Wagner Act have
been very aggressive but they over
looked simple weakness in the Labor
Boards procedure-that which the
Supreme Court corrected last week
by indirection. the ruling having come
not in a labor matter at all, but in
a preceding under the Federal Stock
Yards Act as administered by the
Secretary Of Agriculture.
So is administrative law made and
so, too, does the Supreme Court of the
United States, by its fidelity to rules
of fairness, justify in every respect the
confidence imposed in that institution
by the American people when in 1887
they refused to permit that tribunal
to be subjected to the will of the
Executive.
