SEA
SECRETS

@. To what depth does sea life
exist?
A. Life in the sea is found
normally all the way to the bottom,
although the organisms here must
adjust themselves to perpetual
darkness (save for the occasional
flashes of light produced by SER
tain deep sea animals), icy cold
waters, scanty food supply, and
low oxygen content. Lack of light
alone rules out the plants, since
they require light in order t grow.
Even in water where oxygen is
practically nonexistent, such as
in the depths of the Black Sea,
anaerobic bacteria are found in
great numbers in the bottom sedi-
ments. A recent Danish expedition
to the Philippine Trench off the
east coast cf Mindanao found evil
dence of simple forms of sea life
at depths of nearly Z miles.
@. Are polar bears considered
to be sea creatures?
A. Polar bears (Ursus mariti-
mus probably cannot be consider
ed to be true sea creatures Gas
are sea otterS or sealsl, since they
are not particularly modified for
an aquatic existence. Despite this,
polar bears are often encountered
swimming a long distance from
shore. The normal habitat is on
and about Arctic ice floes where
their protective coloration renders
them difficult for their enemies to
see. The food of polar bears con-
sists of fish and larger game, such
as seals.
@. Do jellyfish swim?
A. Yes. Although jellyfish lead
a planktonic, or free-floating exis-
tence, they are capable of swim
ming and usually swim constantly.
At the surface their movements
are usually aimless, and they make
no effort to avoid humping into
other objects or each other. as
they rhythmically contract the
edges of their bell-shaped swim
ming disks. Their swimming poN.
ers enable them to descend to
deeper water at times, or to re.
appear at the surface a short time
later. Often mistaken for iellyfish
are the saclike Ctenophores whose
swimming movements are so slow
as to make them appear merely
to drift along with the tide.
@. Why does ''Maru" follow the
name Of q japanese ship
A. Many G. is during Tire
second World War noticed tbs
names painted on tho sides q
japanese ships usually coasiSle
Of two words. the second Of whic3
was MARI pronounced naah-FOo1
The word "Maru" simply means
ship" or steamship, and is
used % distinguish merchant or
commercial vessels from warshipS
and ether craft. The oggtn and
exact meaning Of MARI is un-
certain. but il appears 10 have
been derived from q Chinese
character meaning anything round
or circular.

MADRID uA More snapshots
from a touring typewriter:
Spain today has become the
mecca of Europe for vacationing
Americans for two reasons:
!. A visitor from the U. S. gets
fewer black looks here than in any
other European country. Juan Lo-
pez, Spain's man in the street,
may think Joe Doakes from Du-
buque is crazy-but nice crazy.
2. This is one Of the few places
left in the world where the Ameri-
can buck still has its oldtime mus
Gle. A 1852 dollar still is worth 100
cents here-and viii 60 as far as it
did back home before the war.
This amazing discovery that his
dollar has regained its health
causes many an American tourist
to go on a wild buying jag, stock
ing up on $50 tailor made suits
made in two days-and beautiful
ladies' leather handbags at 10
bucks that cost at least double
that on Fifth Avenue.
This low price scale holds for
all native-made articles. But for
eign luxuries, most of which are
smuggled in and are sold on the
black market, are ultra-expensive.
Thus the visitor seeking to wet his
whistle can get a fine bottle of
mellow Spanish sherry for rs cents
but may have to fork out dollar
for signle shot og Scotch whisky.
This naturally results in more and
more and more Americans here
reconsidering the medicinal virtues
of sherry.
Although the main tourist season
is over for the rest of Europe,
Madrid still is thronged by late
staying Americans and hotel rooms
are all but unobtainable.
s'Porteros"- hotel key jock
eys here-have a magnificent dis
dain for the English language. If
you seek to find friend lodging at
a hotel, it is all but impossible to
locate him as the portero's invari-
able answers is mister Doakes?
Mister Doakes-he's checked out"
Recently an American lady who
had lost her pooch approached a
hotel portero and asked ''Have you
seen my dog?
Without even lifting an eye, por-

Of men can. provided he is other

children with no tendency toward
alcoholism except as it develops
from the deplorable example set
by the father or the psychological
Iupheavals created by unhappiness.
What chance such children have
of ever reaching adulthood un-
hurt by such a home atmosphere
lis something else to ponder.
Usually. it is, not good. In many
outstanding instances. children
have risen above their environ
ment and become better grownups
than their fathers, by long way.
But the enormity of the odds
against them is shown in the
latest figures of the Department
lof Commerce, which proved that
Americans spent on alcoholic beve-
Irages last year one-half the
amount they spent on clothing,
Including shoes. Considering the
Evening star., 1952-09-25

millions Of us who spent nothing.
it is plain that other millions
spent more than the statistics
indicate.
These figures speak grimly Of
the misery and terror that affiict
so many homes: and behind them
lie countless tales of the neglect
and abuse of children. Those dol.
lars did not go for food. clothing.
shelter. education, medical care
and comforts. They did not foster
love-quite the opposite. They
destroyed security. health and
happiness.
But. with all this drinking. the
heredity Of the children was not
changed by it and no imbecileS
resulted provided, again, that
there was no feeble-mindedness
in either parentl. Those factors
existing in both parents which.
when combined, give their baby
it's mental and physical makeup,
are not affected by alcohol.

MRS. r. p, Washington
Now would like to remind
the many people who have writ
ten to RICH trying to locate
certain songs or poems (either
by title or by few lines re-
membered) that the reference
department of the Public Library
could be very helpful in most
cases.
You know the library is a
storehouse of all kinds Of infor-
nation and the library staff is
always willing and glad to help
you with whatever questions you
have. People who want to To-
cate quotations or magazine ar
ticles even when they remem-
ber very little about the article
they want could also get this
information and almost any
other information of definite
fact at the library.
The library also will be glad
to supply booklists on q de-
sired subjects or books for cer-
tain interest. In many cases a
person can obtain the informa-
ton desired by telephone.
Now, I hope you don't think I
am suggesting the library as a
substitute for the RICH. Nothing
could replace this page with its
helpful information based on
experience. Look forward every
night to the pleasure Of sharing
the advice and opinions Of my
RICH friends.
