Sharks, Other Salt Water Fish
Abound in Nicaraguan Lake

Lake Nicaragua in the Central
American country of the same name
is the only place where sharks are
found in fresh water, so far as sci
ence knows. Sawfish, tarpon and
other big saltwater species also live
in this oval, 100-mile-long lake, 105
feet above the level of the nearby
Pacific. Biologists believe it was a
bay of the Pacific until an earth
quake heaved up land to lock out the
sea. Streams and springs in this
region of very heavy rainfall gradu-
ally turned the lake water fresh.
Luis Marden, National Geographic
Magazine staff writer, caught three
specimens of the shark for the U. S.
National museum by the time-tested
method of the region. First, he took
a silvery, fve-pound machaca on a
fly rod,
Then, fishing in II feet of water
from an anchored canoe, within sight
of the San Carlos docks, he baited
heavy, chain-leadered shark hook
with large chunk of the machaca,
and cast his stout, sashcord fishing
line into the water
Within five minutes the fisherman
from the north had a strike. In a
few more minutes he had subdued a
158-pound shark, too large for the al
cohol drum in which the specimens
were to be shipped to the museum.
But strikes came easily, every five

Movie Children
Play Bit Parts,
Aim at Stardom

Kindergarten for the Gables and
CRADLES of tomorrow is the Screen
Children's Guild of Hollywood. This
is the official clearing house for tai
ented and photogenic youngsters of
the movie colony, many of whom
are only biding their time as star
dust until they are suddenly dis
covered and thereafter appear in
the film armament as full-blown
stars.
Movie directors call on the Screen
Children's Guild for children needed
as 'extras" as well as those chosen
fol juvenile leads. The Guild can
supply almost any type at a mo-
ment's notice. Its roster includes
youngsters between the ages of six
months and IA years in assorted
sizes, colors and types.
The Guild also acts as clearing
house for photographers models,
radio and television actors. Many
children have won more success in
modelling than on the screen and
have made more money that way
Pay for child extras runs from a
minimum of $3.50 day up. Earn
ings average around $1,000 day.
Where lines are spoken the daily
rate starts at S25. Weekly contracts
start at S55 and the average in week
to-week contracts is about SIPS.
These figures do not apply to the
stipend of those with star rating.
The Screen Children's Guild is
proud of those alumni who have
made good. Among them are Mar

EXPERTS SEE NO QUICK FINISH
TO JAPANESE WAR

Although there is no question in
the minds of American authorities
that the Allies will defeat Japan,
overall military plans for that defeat
are based on the assumption that 1t
will take a minimum of from one and
half to two years after the defeat
of Germany, according to report
of the Office of War Information,
based on data and opinion of author
tiles in the Navy, War and State De-
partments and the Foreign Economic
Administration.
Military strength, natural resour-
ces and quality of fighting forces and
equipment all favor United Nations.
The United States alone outclasses
Japan in raw materials, in capacity
to produce fighting equipment and in
military might. With the added fore
es of the United Nations, the power
of the Allies is overwhelming.
However, no internal collapse of
Japan is expected. In the words of
can ambassador to Japan: 1.-The Jap
anese will not crack They will not
crack morally or psychologically or
economically, even when eventual de-
feat stares them in the face. They
will pull in Their belts another notch,
reduce their rations from bowl to
half bowl of rice, and fight to the
bitter end. Only by utter physical de-
struction or utter exhaustion of their
men and materials can they be de-
feated That is the difference between
the Germans and the Japanese"
Although the Japanese have had
their food rationed since 1910, ex-
perts do not believe food shortage is
as likely to be strategic weakness
as might shortage of some war ma
terials. Japan raises 80 per cent OF
her rice, and rice supplies fully hall
of the calorific intake of the Japs
Beans and fish are the other main
articles of japanese diet Manchuria
supplies 40 to As million bushels OF
soya beans, and from soya beans the
Japanese people get their proteins
and vegetable oils. The war is esti
mated to have cut her fish consump.
ton by 25 per cent.
The Japanese are basing theil
hopes on tke possibility that the AL
lies will grow tired and accept ne
gotiated peace. Japanese leader.

will drag out the war so long anC

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?

Some labor representatives claim
that majority of the armed forces
are union members, so the question
of whether returning service men
will be forced tG join unions or &C
without jobs is irrelevant. Assuming
that a majority of service men dc
support unions intellectually, does
the United States, whose young men
are now dying in battle all over the
world to protect the rights of minor
tiles in foreign lands, propose to dis
regard the rights of minorities within
its own borders after the war?
Anyone should be free to join OIL
not join union, whether or not {,
majority of workers favor it. Unless
freedom of choice is preserved fol
minorities, we have neither liberty
nor constitutional government in the
United States.
