FISH IN TANKS ON
SHIP GET SEASICK
SAYS COLLECTOR
NEW YORK, Sept. 26. (/P)—Fisli,
■when traveling in tanks on steamships
get seasick like humans, but go a step
further and often bring fellow tank
passengers to the verge of death by
the poisons they emit. Authority for
this statement is Louis Mowbray, a
■widely known fish collector who is
credited with having transported
more fish across the ocean than any
other person. Mr. Mowbray, who takes
regular trips to Florida waters for a
number of different kinds of specimens
for the New York Aquarium, explain
ed his method of transporting the fish
at the conclusion of a trip recently.
After a fishing expedition is com
pleted the species are assorted and
placed in the tanks aboard the ship.
The tanks are connected with pipes
through which running water is pump
ed from the ocean from the time the
boat leaves Key West until it arrives
at Cape Hatteras. On the way north
the boat follows the Gulf Stream, the
water of which usually is SO to 82 de
grees. When Hatteras is reached in
the early seasons—February, March
and April—the pumps are shut off as
the water then becomes too cold for
fish of Florida waters. Heated air
then is pumped into the tanks. Mr.
Mowbray explained that tropical fish
become numb in water with a temper
ature of 65 degrees.
“While a fish is not bothered in the
least by the big waves in its natural
home,” Mr. Mowbray said, “the sharp
movement of the waters in the tank
is such that the fish cannot keep its
equilibrium, and must submit to the
rolling of the ship. He doesn’t turn
over on his back when he is sick, but
simply ejects his food in much the
same manner that a human does.
“When this happens I have to take
the fish out of the tank for the gas
tric juices and tlirown-up contents will
kill the other fish.”
In order to minimize seasickness as
much as possible among his fish trav
elers, Mr. Mowbray withholds all food
from them for two days before start
ing the trip and some of them are not
fed during the entire trip. He finds
it necessary, however, to feed the
more delicate fish moderately en
route. When the fish get hungry
they will eat their companions, he de
clared, and for this reason great care
must be taken to put fish of the same
size and species in company.
NOTED FILM DIRECTOR LAUDS
NEWSPAPER WRITERS’ TALENT
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 25. (^—Sid
ney Olcott, generally believed to be
one of the three highest salaried di
rectors in the motion picture business
recently expressed the conviction that
the great screen writers and directors
of the future, will come from the ranks
of newspaper men and women.
Olcott went a step further and de
clared that the film industry should
capitalize the “nose for^ news” trigger
like habit of decision, knack of get
ting details and close-up knowledge
of human nature which he said every
capable newspaper man or woman pos
sessed.
Singling out Melville E. Stone, vet
sran counselor of The Associated
Press, as an outstanding example to
prove his point, the film director said
that Mr. Stone embodied the require
ments of a writer or director that
would have carried him to the very
top had he chosen to turn his talents
into the field of the silent drama.
Two silver foxes arrived in Seward
ast evening from the Interior from the

CRIME STATISTICS
INDICATE A RISE
DUE PROHIBITION
TENDENCY YOUNG PEOPLE TO
DEPART FROM CONVENTION
AL RULES FOOD FOR THOT
Law Respect On Decline
Alarming Conditions Have Arisen In
Colleges—Student Earns Way
Thru Bootlegging.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.
(/P)—An exhaustive discussion of the
effect of prohibition on crime, con
ditions in settlement neighborhoods,
drug addiction, the morals of the
young, and respect for law in gen
eral was made public tonight by the
Research and Education Department
of the Federal Council of Churches
as a third section of its special re
port on the social consequences of
prohibition laws.
While pointing out that a lack of
complete data makes definite con
clusions impossible, the report made
these assertions:
The tendency of young people of
the present day to depart from con
ventional rules of behavior cannot
be laid entirely at the door of pro
hibition but “the fact that prohibi
tion has made no more decisive ef
fect in heightening their moral tone
gives food for earnest thought.”
Crime statistics indicate a rapid
increase in violations of law, chiefly
of the misdemeanor class, but it is
“gratuitous” to blame prohibition,
and “all that can be asserted is that
prohibition has thus far not prevent
ed an increase in such offenses.”
Available information indicates
that in settlement neighborhoods
there is less drinking and family life
has improved under prohibition but
that the law nevertheless is widely
violated and “the bootlegger is get
ting rich.
Assertions that prohibition has
tended to increase the use of drugs
lack definite proof and would appear
to be untrue.
“The general impression that re
spect for law is declining leads many
ardent supporters of prohibition to j
believe that its foes are undermining
all citizenship, while the latter as
sert very positively that prohibition
has destroyed respect for all law.
Fortunately, neither contention is ful
ly supported by facts. The best au
thorities is psychology and education
agree that a person’s attitude toward
law' and government is not determin
ed wiht reference to a single law.
Every one takes some law's more se
riously than others, and necessarily
so. All law's have not the same im
portance and some have greater so
cial sanction than othres. For tnis
reason it w'ould seem to be a mis
take to rest the appeal for observ
ance of prohibition lawrs merely upon
the gneral duty to ‘obey the law.’
Rather, an attitude of intelligent
sympathy toward the law itself must
be built up if it is to be generally
observed.
“Reports of school administration
officials and of teachers who have
extensive studies of moral problems
in the schools give little support to
the treory that prohibition is in it
self a couse of moral breakdown,”
it continued. “It may perhaps just
as truly be said that it does not ap
pear to be a great asset. Certainly,
the non-observance of the law by
parents has a rather tragic effect
on boys and girls.
“In the colleges, undoubtedly, some
alarming conditions have developed.
Even in a conservative denomination
al college a student nas been known
to earn his w7ay thru school by boot
legging. The evidence, however,
seems to indicate a favorable trend
at the present time; at least this
is the opinion of nearly all the col
lege deans consulted, and it receives
some measure of support from oth
er sources.’1
