A [iF YOU WANT ANYTHING,) TROUBLES TROUBLES! HELP YOURSELVES » q SECRETS Q. Do poisonous food fish form a A. Yes, generally speaking. While some fish may occasionally become poisonous through bacte- rial or other forms of contamina- tion, the truly poisonous eating fish belong principally to the single Or- der Plectognathi. This Order con- tains the triggerfishes, filefishes, puffers or blowfish, porcupinefish- es, trunkfishes, and the giant ocean sunfish, Mola mola. It should be remembered ‘that while some Plectognaths are good eating, a great number may be exceedingly dangerous - the liver, gall bladder, and ovaries -being the principal source of the poison, which re- sembles that of deadly mushrooms in its action. Fortunately the Plec- trognaths are among the easiest of fishes to recognize, and their various bizarre shapes and color- ing act as a natural “warning” to anglers. Q. What is meant by “plankton” and “nekton’’? A. “Plankton” is Greek for “wanderer” and refers collectively to all drifting or floating sea life or that which swims so slowly that it is virtually at the mercy of the wind and tide. Floating seaweeds, jelly. fish, microscopic organisms, and many larval or very tiny fish are included under the name of plankton. “‘Nekton,” also from the Greek, means “swimming,” and refers to all marine animals that are able to migrate freely, such as most fish, whales, squids, etc. Q. What two great dangers does a deepsea fish that inhabits a cer- tain depth of water face? A, “Falling,” either up or down. A fish inhabiting a certain depth of water usually has its body weight delicately compensated by the amount of air under pressure in its swim bladder, having the effect of making the fish weight- less in water. Should such a fish stray too upward, as some- times happens, the air in the swim bladder would expand, making the fish lighter and lighter until it could no longer check its upward rise. This would become faster, until the swim bladder exploded, killing the fish. Conversely, should fish stray into too deep water, swim bladder would shrink, the fish heavier, until, the bladder and internal organs be. crushed, also resulting death of the fish. Because of factors, any fish living at a cular depth must constantly itself to the unstable condi- which it lives. An in- vertebrate, such as a shrimp or much better off, since air spaces in its body tolerate a great- al migration with little to itself. Normally, a fish im move to a greater or lesser depth within limits, if it does this very gradually, since the amount of air in'the swim bladder is con- stantly regulated by the body pro- ‘cesses and will slowly compensate for any continued pressure change. Q. Was Lake Okeechobee ever connected with the sea? A. Yes, Lake Okeechobee was ; once a shallow part of the sea, and it is believed that a part of the Gulf Stream once flowed through the area at present occupied by the lake (south Florida being an is- land at the time.) Ample evidence that th’: shallow lake was once a Part of ise sea is presented in the form of a vast number of fossilized sea shells, coral, and other marine | animals found buried in various Places adjoining the lake. Some of these are extinct, while - certain others represent forms that are; living along the Gulf or Atlantic coast today.

Away from Anthea, for she did not want Anthea to know. She wore dark glasses when she got off the train at Cannes. She was surprised to find, after all these years, her French came back, rusty at first, but after a day or two with fluent ease. She found a cheap, clean little hotel in a narrow street toward the back of the town, and during the day went over to Les Fleurs. It was not until she arrived there, on the first day, that she realized how absurdly she was behaving, and how unlikely it was that she _would catch Mario alone. He was living with his party at a villa, not in the hotel. They were taking scenes locally, round the beach, harbor, and the old picturesque art of the town, and when this jappened there was always a thick crowd of curious sightseers, behind rope barriers with which Mario protected his cameras, crew and actors. She could hear his voice; once she caught a Ee pse of Anthea, brown as an indian in her white shorts and shirt; her pretty hair ‘tied back in a_ horse's tail, big dark glasses hiding her eyes. She was sitting by Mario, watching the scene be- ing shot, and making notes, obvi- ously very absorbed and busy. She caught a glimpse of Gina, bare-footed, in a ragged, peasant- pe dress, sitting on a wall, chewing a straw, the camera trained on her like*a great eye.

Byes went to a very famous and expensive restaurant, where the dance floor rose magically and the white-jacketed orchestra was embowered in roses, and the women looked more expensive than any women Anthea had ever seen. In the powder room, she said frankly to Gina: “You look quite lovely, Gina. The pearls are lovely too: they suit you beautifully.” Gina glanced at herself com- placently in ‘the enormous mir- ror.

(To be continued) i HE Dear Neighbor: Highlight of the inauguration, without a doubt, was the inaugu- ral address delivered by President Eisenhower in which he outlined nine fixed principles to guide this country in pressing its case for peace before the bar of history. Many observed the address and these principles as the broadcast internationalist declaration to come from the mouth of any Republican President, as President Eisenhow- er closely embraced the present foreign policy initiated under Pre- sident Truman. The new President reassured Europe that America would not re- treat-from its role of world lead- ership and endorsed the continua- tion of our Point Four Program as a means to strive to helo our! proven friends of freedom achieve their own security and well-being. | In his address he rejected any insinuation that one race or an- other is in any sense interior or expendible, which appeared to cor- rect the impression left by Presi- dent Eisenhower early in the poli- A LETTER FROM BILL LANTAFF “Moon Is Blue” Is Bilingual Effort Of Film Industry By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—Ach, such a business this is!
