THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TrdcepeU,

pets bring q great many small troubles
and worries upon their loyal shoulders,
do they not?
For they are loyal lot, these nsh cul-
turists.
They will take some splinter Of fish
and put more time and thought upon
keeping 1t well than many q person has
upon humans.
The pride Of achievement, Of course
is part Of it. One likes to do properly
what one undertakes. Every one under
stands this, whether interested in exotic
fishes In the home aquarium or not.
The problems presented by our cor
respondent are typical.
The guppy is "barrel-rolling," in the
vernacular, which describes the unpleas-
ant looking gyrations Of the poor crea-
ture very well.
There is no cure for it, although the
victim may live q long time.
Probably too much food at some time
produces this condition. Swimming
bladder trouble is natural consequence,
but not the main trouble.
Isolation and deprivation Of food are
the best things to do.
These rolling motions of sick guppy
are unique in the aquarium. As far as
we know no other i'll species goes through
any such antics. The first time the
keeper sees the proceeding, he may think
1t comical, but second or third look
convinces him that this is painful and
terribly unpleasant, not only for the
afflicted fish but also for the onlooker.
The tiny guppy fry which has not
grown, but which seems full of energy, al
though it does not eat, is what is called
in the trade "cull"
Such fishes are destroyed by growers
This column does not advocate the de-
struction Of life. We always have felt
that while there is life there is hope
although often not very much.
We had a tank once with some 90
young guppies in it, of which about q
dozen were culls.
Despite their shortcomings, such as de-
scribed, humpbacked, etc., they did enjoy
life in the measure which the Creator
OF all things had given it to them.
X
Such fish maladies as described are due
at bottom, no doubt, to the artificial
conditions of the aquarium.
When the fish enthusiast stops to thinl
how fish grow in nature, in millions o,
gallons of water, oxygenated to the yer,
last drop, and then contrasts such con.
ditions with the few gallons he has be-
hind glass, he will not wonder that h,
has disease among his charges, but tina
he and they get off as well as all do.
Part of the education of fish-keepinl
lies in meeting the problems as the,
come up. This is one of the reason
why it is so interesting. The problems
arise, and the man or woman upor
whom the living, breathing animals be
| fore him depend for their very existence
is challenged to use his brains in thei
behalf. Not always will he succeed, bu
often he will, and then there will be re-
joicing both within and without tn,

Capitalism Is Menaced
BY Mounting Deficits.

BY Mounting Deficits.
To the Editor Of The Star:
David Cushman Coyle informs US that
when Government spending takes the
form of conservation Of human and
natural resources land is balanced by
strong income taxation, it appears to
be the most feasible method to measure
a smooth-working, high technology cap
italism."
Smooth working" eh? Since when
has taxation been rendered smooth? AS
a matter Of fact, our national tax struc-
ture has become so rough" and top
heavy it is destined to eventually topple,
as did the Tower OF Babel unless, indeed,
stern measures are adopted to check an
ever mounting deficit which has reached
perilous levels.
The most elementary minded, If they
have given the subject thought, must
be aware that increased taxation of our
industrial corporations simply means
greatly decreased dividends to millions
Of American stockholders. It naturally
follows that the purchasing power of
this vast multitude has been crippled
and, in many instances, paralyzed;
money that formerly poured into peoples
pockets is confiscated by the Govern
ment. Our great corporations have re-
peatedly reminded shareholders that a
third to half of profits are consumed
by taxation. They operate against great
odds. Ultimately the national jugger-
naut will crush both capital and labor,
unless taxes are trimmed.
Hasn't David G. Coyle overlooked some
very important and inescapable facts in
his recent address on Investments and
Government Spending? And doesn't
Eccles ignore the aforesaid, self-evident
truths in his one-sided diatribe against
Senator Byrd?

But now you find a brand-new thrill
Not the old talk nor the same old bill

The man who makes a speech

There are listeners on the floor,
Now they stand there by the score,
Never heard such things before

Campaign Practices

With facts and tOrbearance, the
Senate Campaign Committee has
presented a report which should be
Of substantial value to the new Con-
gress, not only in overhauling the
present relief system but in tighten
ing some of the more apparent loop
holes in the laws now calculated to
keep our politics reasonably pure.
From months of painstaking effort,
the committee ascertained through
It's own Investigators that both relief
clients and Federal employees of all
classifications were being solicited
for campaign subscriptions, that
some so dependent upon public
sources for their livelihood were
being coerced by those who con-
trolled that livelihood, that lists of
relief clients were conveniently ac-
cessible to candidates or their
friends, that phantom registrations
took place in more than one State,
that the franking privilege was being
abused, and that other evils had
become part of political practice.
Wisely, perhaps, in their desire to
keep the report free of challenge on
personal grounds and to direct its
influence more to the constructive
task of obtaining legislation, the
committee refrained from charging
Harry Hopkins and his immediate
assistants with participation or even
knowledge of the malpractices un-
covered in relief administration, the
exception being restrained rebuke
to Aubrey Williams for his own "un-
fortunate statement" in support of
"our friends"
In like manner, the candidates
who stood to benefit by the practices
noted were in all cases given the
benefit of the doubt.
But the indictment of practices as
found is one not to be turned aside,
and that the committee hopes for
positive legislative correction of the
circumstances which permit such
abuses is evident from the compre-
henSive set of recommendations
which accompanies their report.
In some instances, such as prohibi-
tions against electioneering by relief
officials among relief clients and
extensions of the Corrupt Practices
Act to furnish greater control over
primaries, the committee suggestions
hardly can be controverted by any
one even pretending a preference for
decent performance of our election
system. On the other hand, a pro-
posal to bar political contributions
even of voluntary nature, by relief
workers or administrative officials
and by Federal employees in other
classifications may be expected to re-
suit In sincere differences of opinion.
II 1t is desired to do all that is pos
sible to eliminate the undesirable
practices, however, even voluntary
contributions of this nature should
be prohibited by law.
The resolving of such differences
Into laWmaking is the task of Con-
gress, however, and it is unlikely
that the legislators just now gather
Ing in session will so far neglect the
conditions exposed as to fail to enact
remedial legislation.
In such enactment, the Congress
would be extending protection to
the exploited relief clients, to can
didates whose political fortunes are
not founded upon the reprehensible
tactics here uncovered, and to the
voters at large.

familiar with these facts of administra-

disadvantage Of labor organizations and
to the advantage of employers, and are
they equally desirous of seeing to 1t that
the act be revised to speed up the admin

come to the courts, at theirs and the
boards behest, with greater facilitation

interested in creating greater delay
through the interminable process of the

sitting over the facts in records which
have in the average taken six months
and more to develop before the board
makes its order? Need it be pointed
out that in every instance labor organi-
zation IS involved and the delay in the
ordinary administrative procedure, stated
above. has certainly not been to the
advantage of the labor organization.
I shall go on criticizing the board for
Its administrative delay and interpreta-
tions which, in my opinion, curtail or
ignore the rights Of my clients under the
act, but I shall also be the first to
enlist with labor in fighting any at

poses to create further delay in the
interests Of the employer and for the
purpose Of bringing . labor organization
to its knees and surrender purely because
the employer has the economic strength

could not be destroyed, because it is
the manifestation of everlasting Life,
| God
When his disciples would send the
multitude away because of their be-
lief in the scarcity of food he took
what they had; fed the five thousand
to the extent of their needs, and
gathered up the remnants, even more
than the original supply at hand.
You must understand, just as Jesus
did, that this material world and the
material body are beliefs. Mind,
Spirit, which is God, is the only sub
stance and the only supply; and that
this supply is infinite and omni-
present.
The idea of God as infinite, omni-
present supply appeals to you be-
cause it is your instructive desire, as
His idea, to have and to possess it.
You seek God and you find man; be-
cause man is idea, reflecting Mind.
You would not find man by seeking
man; and so while your instructive
desire for supply is natural, you can
not find supply by seeking it in mat
ter. You must get supply by seeking
God-Spirit; as you find God-Spirit
you have substance-supply It has
no relationship to materiality and
cannot be associated with it in any
way, because supply is idea AS used
in Christian Science, idea is not the
idea of or about something. 1t is
the fact God, Mind, expresses His
infinite Being in ideas. Ideas are
imperishable, tangible, present, real.
Even from a human standpoint,
ideas are everywhere, all of the time
To illustrate: two times two is four,
where you are now You make a
long journey to China. You do not
have to send two times two is four
there for your use upon arrival. It
is there now before you start, and
it will be there upon your return.
The divine fact is that supply is
idea in divine Mind; it is infinite, i'm
perishable, tangible, real, present. It
is where you, Gods child, are all the
time. You have it now, but you
must claim it. Your understanding
and application of that divine fact
operates as an immutable law upon
the human sense of mind and body,
and fear, doubt, anxiety lest your
supply become limited and exhausted
will abate. You are demonstrating
supply. You are proving that "Sci-
ence reverses the false testimony Of

1t must be remembered that what
Jesus did is within the reach of any
one who attains the same degree of
spiritual understanding. In feeding
the multitude, walking on the water,
healing the sick, and raising the
dead he was proving the allness of
Spirit. That spiritual law is the law
of annihilation to the false beliefs
opposed to Spirit as manifest
through human consciousness. He
established the fact of one conscious
ness, the consciousness of Spirit. In
this consciousness there is no scar

which it can operate, and no law to

Pictorial Photographs by
By Georqe r. SIode Artistic

While Mrs. Chase'S water colors
nicely fill the gallery at the Arts
Club, the walls of the reception
room and front hall display collec-
ton of very artistic and excellent
photographs by George F.. Slade OF
Boston, one of the leading photo
pictoTialists, widely recognized and
honored in this country and abroad
The themes he exhibits are pure
landscape and none better than
he has interpreted its beauty and
charm. 1t is an interesting fact
that despite the perplexities OF man.
nature goes on undiSturbed and un-
afraid. The pictures that Mr.. Slade
shows us bring this to our atten-
ton in way both patent and re-

snow scenes. and it is extremely in
teresting to note the variety in his
use of tones. the reticence with
which he treats the blanket OF white,
which, after all. is not Just white
but graduations of gray with white
accents-and not just covering,
but deep and pervading silence.
In some of Mr.. Slade's prints more
over, he manifests, amazingly. the
spaciousness of the outdoor world

the breadth of the country beneath
it. Also, he is at his best in inter-
