UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sixty kinds of angler fish are
known. They live at the bottom of
the sea, some of them at depths of
more than a mile.
Angler fish differ greatly in size.
Some are from to S feet long.
Other kinds are less than an inch
long when full grown.
The large angler fish lie partly
buried in mud or sand, and may be
found "at home" in water which is
not extremely deep. The little ones,
live in very deep parts of the ocean
and it Is believed they swim about
fairly close to the bottom.
A large angler may weigh from 40
to so pounds. 1t has huge mouth
and likes to gulp down other fish.
Often 1t lies in wait amid seaweeds.

Some anglers have been known
to swallow fish larger than them
selves. When this happens, The
walls of the stomach bulge out great
" until the fish is digested.
One day fisherman sent his hook
far down in the sea. An angler saw
the bait, took it and was pulled up.
Shortly before that, the angler had
swallowed large-sized fish, but was
so greedy that it snapped at the bait
just the same. This angler, with its
victim inside, was given to museum
In London and may be seen today,
preserved in jar of alcohol.
In the angler family, it is the rule
for females to grow far larger than
the males. South of Iceland, two
anglers of the same family were
brought up. The female was 3 feet
long, but the males length was only
4 inches. We are told both of these
fish we're full grown.

Actually, in our opinion West was

East had no excuse for doubling five

he wanted to compromise, he could
have passed, whereupon West would
surely have gone to five spades any

doubled, West was entitled to as

Joseph White, music teacher: "No,
Miss Anderson should not sing in any

or hall under the humiliating condi-
lions that use of the place must never
be asked again for a colored concert. "
Miss lima Rapier: Miss Anderson
has reached the top as an artist. She
should keep the path open to other
aspiring singers. Therefore she should
not accept the use of any hall which
would bar other artists"
Miss Mary Jackson, proprietor

Mrs. Harriet C. Hall, president,

something will be gained by Miss An

her recital in the first place. AS for

the ban will be removed as people

Stories pointing to suicide because
Douglas had lost his job were emphati-

Equally it was denied that a suicide
note had been found. A high wind
blowing at the time Douglas took his
dog to the ice-coated roof Friday night,
it is believed, prevented him from re
covering his balance after slipping.
Friends who saw Douglas early Friday
night assert that he was as cheerful as
