Common, comet, nymph and fantail fish are the species which lend them- selves best to large scale production in this country. Fancier forms have been developed by the Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, and from Jap- an last year the United States re- ceived 389,000 exotic fish worth $31, 900 wholesale. . Under favorable conditions gold- fish breeders here grow 40,000 to 50,- 000 fish per pond acre. When hat- ohed the fish are silvery gray In color, like the original wild stock, but change to a golden or mottled color sometimes after a few weeks, some- times not for thrée or four years. While goldfish were originally sold at pet stores, the majority of them to-day are handled through five and tencent stores and by drug stores as an advertising feature, it Is found. Difficulties in keeping fish in small aquariums at home i8 usually due to overcrowding and overfeeding, pet shop owners have informed the bur- eau, Goldfish should have at least one gallon of water for each inch of body, exclusive of the tail, the bureau says.

Invisible Cop Two invisible trafic officers, hid- den beneath the pavement, but who are expected to direct motorcars as efficiently as it they were in plain sight and wore brass buttons, have just been added to the force of the Medford (Mass.) police department. The new policemen--brothers, or at least cousins, of the mechanical man--are reputed to have one dis tinct advantage over former robots which various cities have attempted to use to direct trafic. They have no ears, and will be entirely deat to the honks and protests occasioned by a red light. Most of the 'mechanical cops" de- veloped in the past were actuated by the horns of approaching motor-cars, They - were. tried' in Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities but too many motorists honked at the same time and the mechanical policemen lost their jobs. The result was that two Yale University engineers de- vised the new robot who lies beneath the street. Above him is a metal plate over which the motor-cars pass. This contrcls the signal lights so that the motorist will not have to halt it the right of way is clear. If cars approach from two directions the right of way goes to the one on the heaviést traveled road with a timing device to guard against allowing the trafic to continue too long in one direction. The mechanical pelicemen are to control traffic at Medford Square and at the intersection of Winthrop Street and Mystle Valley Parkway. rrr nen Accidents on the Road Three Rivers Nouvelliste (Cons.): Three out of four accidents are the result of the carelessness of chaf- feur or pedestrian. For many years people have tried to blame speed for practically all motor accidents. This is a mistake. A good chauffeur who keeps his head and Is on the look- out will very rarely have an accl- dent because he Is driving at a high speed. A good rate of speed will be of assistance and will help him to avoid qbstacles more rapidly. What ia important is prudence on' the cur- ves, the hills, on the bridges and the level crossings. erm fp rere Who could blame a golfing girl for abandoning her stockings when she gets a hole in one? of ADAMSON'S ADVENTURES--By O, Jacobson. dant of manners, ar discomfort. became normal 0 at the| nddad often drops |. {ot dress which women have achieved. Doctors, lawyers, army officers and nge, the "gloomy dean" of St. Paul's, joined the movement in an optimistic moad. "We must do away with the collar stud and then with all the orther arti- ticlalities of men's dress," sald Dr. Alfred C. Jordan, secretary of the party, "Look at men's evening clothes--they are fit only for funerals Why shouldn't a man wear an open. necked shirt in the evening--and knickers? "We don't need hats. We don't need neckties, and we don't need vests," Women are giving their moral sup- port to the new party, although banned from membership, Dr. Oc- tavia 8. Lewis, wellknown woman physician, added the weight of sclen- titic argument to the party's cause. "The man who wears a tight col: lar will never rise to the top of his profession." she declared. "Tight collars cause more {inefficiency than any other vice of modern life. "The trouble begins in the cradle and continues right through life. The throats of babies are constricted by tight bibs. Thus the brain cells are weakened almost from birth, "Men of genius tend to wear loose and artistic neckwear. Byron's collar and Shelley's open shirts are cases in point, My contention fis that they would not have been great poéts if they had worn tight collars." Dr, J. C. Flugel, assistant profes- sor of psychology at University Col- lege, London, also is approaching the fmatter- solentiftcally: He circulated a questionnaire among 'more than 100 men and women and drew the follow- ing conclusions: "Only a small proportion of men consulted were satisfied with fashions as they are, while women on 'the whole were pleased with their clothes. Colored silk shirts with lapels and wide open collars would appear to be both comfortable and artistic. "One of the greatest drawbacks of modern dress, apart from the tight collar, is that you cannot take oft any single garments without appearing un- fit for polite society. The ideal dress would consist of a series of layers which could be taken off or put on without social ignominy. "Evening dresses' should {include knee breeches and a more elaborate type of open shirt. The starched shirt should be entirely abolished."

And once you have shown that you mean well by him, he will soon settle down as one of your family. The mongoose that I kept for sqm years I originally ealled "Parker," { wu cause of his unbridled curiosity, He always wanted to explore, and as my garden was full of bushes and bould- ers, little valleys and trees, he had plenty of scope for his hobby. But we didn't always call him Parker, because when we felt particilarly affectionate toward him (as indeed we often did) that, being a surname, seemed a trifle formal; and then we added a Chris« tian name and called him Robin. , . . Robin loved to sit dn front of the fire in winter, especially when he had got wet in the rain outside. Then he would come in and 'take the central position on the hearth-rug, sitting up- right with his two little paws out- stretched sideways, till the front of him was dry and comfortable, and then turning round in the same atti- tud to dry his back, propping himself up with his long bushy tail. Coming as he did from Africa, he very much appreciated warmth, and when he was cold and there wasn't a fire he would nose his way under an old coat or a rug. But of all nestling places, the one he preferred was inside my wife's coat while she was wearing it. He would climb in at the front and work his way round till he could lie: across the small of her back, with his head on one hip and his hind toes on the other, and his long tail some- where in front. . ... Often he wanted games when no one was free to play with him. There was a great deal of work for us to do in the garden, the house, and the stu- dio, 'apart from my ordinary tasks, and sometimes it wasn't possible fe pay Robin all the attention he desired. Then he would becom insistent. If my wife was tying up the chrysanthe- mums, he would suddenly appear be- side her, make a funny littl grunting noise, run round th bush, jump into the air and try to strike her arm; then he would stand back and look up as much as to say: "Come on, it's your turn now," and run round the bush again, looking back to see if she were following him. It was tempting, of course, to leave one's work on those occasions, and sometimes we did; but not always. When we were obdurate Robin would run away, and a little later we would find him playing with Mary (a chim- panzee). He was very fond of Mary. A na- tive in East Africa, as I have related, couldn't understand the games of Chuey- (cheetah) and Toto (chimpan- zee). I, in my turn, was surprised at the extraordinary affection between a mongoose, a chimpanzee and an Eng- lish fox-terrier in my garden. Yet there it was. Those three played to- gether, exactly like children, except when Mary took the role of mother, which she did when Robin showed that he was_feeling particularly lonesome. Then she would pick him up in her arms, hold him very nearly in the way that a mother holds a baby, and pet him till, nestling in the warmth of her fur, he was happy again. Then at last, he would wriggle out of her arms and run off; and Mary would watch him affectionately, get- ting more and more interested, until at last she couldn't stand being a mother any longer and would run and join him like a child again.--Cherry Kearton, in "My Animal Friendships." London's Coolest Place Museums don't seem too attractive on a summer day, but most visitors to the British Museum--and they are wise. Apart from the interest of the exhibits, the Museum is one of the coolest places in the city on a hot day. Every year it seems to grow in pop. ularity; official figures just publish. ed show that it was visited by 1,181. 617 people last year--an average of about 3,250 daily. This was a big: ger figure even than in the year of the Wembley Exhibition. This year's figures may set up ame other new record--they will certain- ly be helped by the large number of American visitors who have come over here this summer.
