This applies to a mountain, or a body of water, or a member of the animal kingdom. This doesn't mean of course, that these thing didh't exist before man found out about them, y In the case of fishes, quite often the opposite is true. According to the scientific view of life, fishes swam about through the oceans long, long before man appeared on the, earth. In.fact, the) fishes weje the first backboned animals to appear. And during all these ages the fishes have taken on so many varying forms and habits that almost all of them bear no resemblance to their first primitive ancestors. Let's see how some of the fishes got their names; The shark gets its name from the Greek word "karckarios," which means sharp, teeth. And the sword-fis- h got its name from that sword-lik- e projection of its upper jaw. So these names are quite simply explained. f The "porpoise" is. an odd name for a fish.

It ought to occur to us now and then that, horrible as war is, de- feat is worse. It is time we became aware that a nation which feeds itself and its rising generations on pacifism is also spoon' ing out defeatism.

For years in hours of misanthropy I have found comfort in complaining about the indecency and ' injustice of the Nuremberg Trials, but lately I've had my come uppance. The Nuremberg Trials have kicked me back. It all started during the last Congressional session in the office of Senator Tom Dodd (D., Conn.) whereI made some slighting reference lo these legalized g lynching bees of the Germans. "Mayoe you're right about what happened to the Nazi leaders," said Dodd, who had been a member of the Tribunal. "Personally, I didn't care much for those fellows. They would get what was coming to them, one way or another. But totalitarian States are much alike. The things that you learn from the Nazis will help you a lot with the Communists."
