Points for Parents
—By EDYTH THOMAS WALLACE
Small children are prone to repeat anything that brings an
exciting reaction from their elders.
I This |
Mother—Billie has picked up some
bad words from older boys who pass
the yard. He doesn't know what
they mean and will forget them
sooner if we don’t notice them.
Mother — No, no, son! You
mustn't say those words. They’re
bad words. Mother will cry and
grandma will, too, if you say that.
Son—Blankety blank blank! Now,
mama, cry!

Nature's Children
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
SQUIRREL FISH
(Holocentrus ascensionis).
Squirrel.flsh are generally red. All
of them are gaily attired and in
habit the coral reefs of tropical
sea*. So far as one can find out,
it is their habit of getting about
that has been the reason for their
popular name. They resemble
streaks of light darting through
water.
In our waters there are about 12
species and 4 genera. All are well
armed. Some have extremely large
scales. Some are more vividly col
ored than others, and one genus has
an especially capacious mouth and
enormous eyes that glow like jewels.
The squirrel fish shown here is
well known throughout the West
Indies and is especially abundant
in Cuba. It fairly haunts the rocks
and reefs, sporting about in full
sight through the very clear water.
It is also quite common in Puerto
Rico and there it aiso attracts the
attention at once because of its bril
liant coloration, as well as its array
of excessively sharp spines. On the
sides there are shiny longitudinal
streaks along the rows of scales.
The very bright red head, crimson
fins and golden-olive dorsal fln,
LIFE'S LIKE THAT
“After having to stay after school
every night this week, I can see why
this war is being fought to wipe out
; dictators!”
with its scarlet margin, are a color
ensemble not easy to forget.
This squirrel fish reaches a length
of as much as 2 feet. Though it
is often seen in the markets, it is
not considered an especially good
food fish. Sometimes these flsh
roam as far as Florida. Several
beauties have been taken as far
north as St. Helena.
There is a small species reaching
a length of but 6 inches which oc
curs on the Pacific coast of Mexico
and seems to be quite common in
the rock pools about Cape San
Lucas. Boys have caught them
easily and kept them for a short
time in aquariums.
The squirrel fish, being so ade
quately armed, are naturally quite
gay in their courage and go among
larger fish with no fear whatever.
There are no records that these fish
use their bayonets to destroy val
uable food fishes. This accounts
for the lack of special information
about their habits.
About the coral reefs of the Ha
waiian Islands one finds many dif
ferent species of squirrel fishes.
The natives call them '‘aleihi’* and
serve them in several tasty dishes.

Take My Word for It
By FRANK COLBY.
Handbook of Practical English.
Again I should like to point out
the erroneous* use of tljp pesky
adverb SAFELY in such sentences
as: "The President arrived safely
in Washington; all our planes got
back safely; our bombers returned
, safely.”
In such sentences ‘‘safely,” an
adverb, must modify the verbs
■“arrived, got back, returned.” But
the rule is that in describing the
I condition of the subject the word
should be an adjective. Or, to put
it in simpler language, when we
speak of the condition of the Presi
dent or the planes at the time of

This Hint-tested Iron Tonic
May Bo lust What You Need!
Have you been feeling under-par re
cently? Do you get played out easily
—lack the ling and vitality to really
enjoy life? And how about your com
plexion? Does that look pale and
^lifeless,” too?
Often when people get that way.
It’s because their blood is low in iron/
And when that’s the case, a good iron
tonic like Pepto-Mangan can help a
lot. Pepto-Mangan replenishes what
ever iron the blood may be lacking—
helps to give it that rich redness so
essential for radiant strength, healthy
. color and sparkling vitality.
Recommended by many doctors
and praised by thousands of men,
women and children for its beneficial
effects, in cases of iron deficiency.

arrival, getting back or returning,
we should use the adjective SAFE—
that is to say, the President was
found to be safe on his arrival: all
planes, it was learned when they
got back from their mission, were
safe; our bombers, on their return,
were all safe.
Merriam-Webster's says: ‘'SAFE
only is used of that which has
escaped danger, as, they came safe
to land; to arrive safe and sound.”
The "safely” complex among
news writers has given rise to such
abuses as these, all taken from ac
tual press and radio dispatches:
"Churchill is now safely In Lon
don.” "Safely at base, the crew Is
resting.” "His final word was,
'You are here safely.’” Obviously.
“Churchill is safely, the crew is
safely, you are safely” is wacky
talky.
Notice the parallel of adjectives
in these correct sentences: All
planes returned <or arrived) un
damaged (adjective i: the crews
came back uninjured (adjective);
at all times, from their departure
to their return, all were unharmed
(adjectivei; in short, they returned
safe (adjective).
