Triggy - the trigger fish

Triggy - the trigger fish -
Perhaps one of the strangest
fish, out of thousands of odd
fish, is the very odd trigger"
fish. This creature has a habit
of staying around rocky ledges
in the water, and when attacked
by some other water-denizen 1t
will wedge itself into the mar
rowest crevice it can find, then
by stiffening or locking" its
spiny fins it will defy all its
enemies to pull it from its lodg-
ing place. Because of these So
called "trick-fins" it is practi-
cally impossible to remove the
fish from these crevices once il
has had a chance to firmly place
itself in the right position.

One is becaoming wearied at the
hypocrisy and concealed prejudice
Of white sport writer's all over the
country (including Dayton) who
are daily impugning the current
efforts Of Joe Louis to make a
living. A Dayton writer yesterday
morning added to the growing
chant to joe "Come out of re-
tirement and fight, or don't fight
at ALL"
Now boxing exhibitions is an
ancient way that boxing champs
have had of picking up needed
cash. Exhibitions are just what
they IRE billed, to put the champ
on exhibit ina bout not to be
fought as if the championship
were at stake. No champ boxing
exhibitions, except Louis who box
es everybody, ever did box any
one who might beat him anyway.
And most Of the exhibitions put
on are sad affairs anyway. Take
the one Gus Lesnevich put on
here last year at the public ex-
pense.
But these who are raising the
hue and sry against the greatest
heavyweight Of the ii m e are
strangely silent.
Furthermore, these writer's write
about the phoniest of all sport
rackets, wrestling, just as if the
sport were respectable. And when

In yesterdays column, AS l See
1t, by Arnold Braithwaite, it vas
stated the nd Forts
brother, Maron, ives elected to the
city council in Gloucester, Mass.
This was an error; he was elected
to the council in Newburyport.
Newburyport is on the coast and
it is a town from which fishing
schooners sail, but it is not as
widely known as Gloucester. What
was said about Gloucester in the
column is true.

LEGISLATIVE
NOTES
BY GEORGE c. PHI ILPoT

Amended S. B. No, s06 was in
troduced Tuesday. This bill is an
attempt to correct some of the
mistakes in the election bill pass
ed two years ago. 1T ran into
rough treatment when Mr.. My
ers, chairman of the committee
on elections, offered. a very long
amendment. This amendment, to-
gether with some others, caused
so much debate ana apprehen-
sion about the practicability of
the bill that it was made the
special order of business Tues
day, June 7. This will give the
members time to- analyze the
amendments.
Am. H. B. No. $40 was passed.
Most of us agreed that ticket
scalping is bad, but feel sure it
can never be eliminated as long
as some people are willing to
pay enormous prices to get much
desired tickets. This bill makes
ticket scalping a misdemeanor. l
am afraid it will be broken many
times and will not be enforced.
S. B. No. 28l was passed by the
House. 1t relates to the erection
of street signs and the assign
ment of house numbers by town
ships. This is very desirable in
unincorporated but densely pop
ulated areas close to some Ohio
cities.
H. B. No. 523 relates to the
transfer and reinstatement Of
employees under the civil serV-
ice commission.
Am. S. B. No. 180 was passed
1t enacts Sec. 486-14 and repeals
484-14 relative to temporary and
exceptional appointments IN claS-
sified service. Am. S. B. No. GIG,
also passed, amends Sec. 2293-5
relative to the time before which
a subdivision may refund cut
standing bonds.
Wednesday, the House consid-
cred seven bills, Tuesday six and
Thursday eight. That is much
better. Many sessions only four
or five bills were discussed. AS

IN MEMORY

In loving memory OF our
mother, Mrs. Nora DevoH, who
passed away five years ago, June
3, 1914.
Dear Mother,
Only five years ago you left us,
But we sadly miss you still,
Nothing can fill the place you
left
And no one ever will. !
We miss your loving tender
smile
We miss your evening prayer,
We miss your visits IN our
homes
We miss you everywhere.
But we know that up in hea-
ven,
You are waiting till we come,
And again we'll be together
Like we used to be at home.

near, the length and tempo of the
daily sessions change rapidly.
We may have to meet at night
and remain in session all night
as we did two years ago when
we convened at 10 o'clock Sat-
urday and adjourned at o'clock
Sunday morning twenty-five
hours.
The House passed II. B No.
440 unanimously. This bill per-
mits the state bridge commission
to charge tolls for the purpose of
retiring any debts owed the state
of Ohio.
Sub. Fl. B. No. 1856 creates a
commission to study and inves-
tigate conservation and fishing
practices in Sandusky Bay. This
grew out of the demand by many
people that commercial fishing
in the bay be limited or prohib-
tied because of the depletion of
the fish. There was opposition to
the limiting provisions and oppo-
sition because this commission
seems to be way to stall off for
two more years any restriction
on commercial fishermen.
Sub H. 3. No. III relates to
the continuance of the exercise
of powers by sinking fund offic-
ers until outstanding bonds are
retired; thereafter powers are
transferred to treasurer.
Am. H. B. No. 426 passed but
assailed from many angles. 1t al
lows the board of county COM
missioners to regulate the con-
struction of certain types of
buildings such as factory in the
unincorporated portions of the
county. 1t barely passed with 68
votes, which is the constitutional
majority this session.
One bill failed of passage, H.
B. No. 345. This bill would have
created an Ohio recreation board
The proponents claimed it would
assist local recreation boards and
agencies through advice and
technical services. This meant an
initial appropriation of $4,000 to
pay the staff in Columbus, which
would probably grow into $780,
600 or more in two or four years.
l voted against the measure be-
cause there are SO many calls for
more money for the present
functions and the governor says
there will be little or no extra
funds available. Furthermore, it
appears to me that this bill
would be one more step in the
governments planning Of our
lives. Already they say when we
can work and how long, what
kind of house we can build and
where we can build it This
measure would attempt to plan
how we or our children will
play l suggest we stop some of
this government planning of our
| lives.
Sub. H. B. No. "A by Mr.. Har-
ter, which would have transfer
red the inspection or restaurants
from the office of state fire mar
shal to the state, department OF
thealth met with great opposition
and was finally re-referred tC
the judiciary committee
Thursday, the house had eight
bills on the calendar.
Am. S. B. Mo. 103 which
amended certain sections and en-
acted another section relative tC
the investments by banks, loans
secured by real estate, preserVa-
ton of records, accounts of min
ors and posting of credits. Ar
| amendment by Mr.. PostleWaite
which would permit investments
by banks in the Internationa.
Bank, was defeated.
Sub. H. B. No. 118, which en-.
acts section l465-61A to permit
coverage of volunteer firemer
and their dependents under The
