NOWHERE IS VIOLENCE
more lavishly expended among
creatures of the wild than in the
domain of water: from two-inch
Siamese fighting fish to mama
lian leviathans, battles to death
. occur which are as awesome, as
any provided on land.
Size and ferocity have little
In common: perhaps the fiercest
.scrapper is the small fighting
fish of Siam or the common
three spined stickleback.
When two male fighting fish
meet during the mating season,
these bantam-weight contestants
seldom emerge intact quite
often, in fact, both two-inch bat
tlers will be so deeply wound-
. ed that they can never fight
'.gain.
; Like the fighting fish, the
three-spincd stickleback uses his
jaws to seize the other by the
fins and then hangs on and tears
like a bulldog. Besides this, the
stickleback has sharp dorsal
spines lo disembowel his foe. .
Combining greed and ferocity,
the pike is hard to surpass. With
him, cannibalism is not rare.
He devours younger or weaker
pikes and there are instances of
attacks on humans. So great is
its appetite and so rapid its di
gestion, that in a day a pike
may consume its own weight of
food.
For cold-blooded, wanton mur
der it would he difficult to sur
pass the bluefish, a silvery, blue
backed ocean dweller which sel
dom exceeds 15 pounds. Found
in the warmer Atlantic waters,
this fiendish killer appears in
huge numbers near the surface.
In its lust to kill, this animat
ed chopping machine seems mo
tivated by the desire to. destroy
as many fish as possible in the
shortest time possible.
Proceeding in numbers and at
tacking fish even of lhcir,own
size, these killers leave a bloody
trail in the sea marked with
chunks of unswallowcd fish. . . .
Roughly, a billion of these butch
ers appear annually along the
Atlantic coast of the U.S., and
they destroy in a four-months
season, it. is estimated, at least
1.2 trillion fish!
Although the piraya of South
America seldom attains two feet
in length, ils lack of size is made
up in ferocity, fearlessness of at-
men's stomach contained 13 por
poises and 14 Alaska fur-bearing
seals!
Even the giant California gray
whale, several times the killer's
size, is no match. In fact, as the
killer attacks, the gray whale
will sometimes become absolute
ly paralyzed with fright and turn
on ils back with flippers out
stretched, lying helpless at the
surface. But the killer moves in
cxorably. At full speed, he rushes
upon the gray whale and tears
chunks out of its lips with its
mighty teeth until the tongue is
exposed. Once that happens, the
killer seizes the tongue and tears
it out, leaving the hapless whale
a floating, dying hulk.
Surely, of all animals the killer
whale is well named and unsur
passed.

tack and in sheer numbers. It
has a keen sense of smell and
once a school of these fish smells
blood hundreds rush upon the vic
tim and with their sharp cut
ting teeth set in short, powerful
jaws, cut off mouthfuls of flesh
as cleanly as with a pair of
scissors.
The piraya's normal diet is
smaller fish but any animal un
lucky enough to fall into the
water where they abound is im
mediately attacked and chopped
to pieces in an incredibly short
time. There is a record of a rider
and his mount falling into the
water infested by these ferocious
pests and Both man and horse
were subsequently discovered
with all their flesh neatly picked
off the bones.
Most sharks feed on flesh of
some kind as a rule, legend not
withstanding, they seldom are vl
cious fighters or attack living,
active large mammals unless
they are very hungry or have
gotten the smell of blood. Worst
of the lot, perhaps, is the great
white shark and he will kill any
thing that moves in its waters.
But no matter how clearly we
may try to evaluate thp relative
merits of these killers of the
water, size inevitably arrests the
eye and stimulates the imagina
tion and of all killing creatures,
none on this earth surely can
compare with the killer whale
(grampus) which is found in all
oceans. Although only 20 to 30
feet from snout tip to end of tail
flukes, this fqrocious, powerful
carnivore will not hesitate to at
tack and destroy anything that
swims in the sea including
whales many times ils size.
The capacity of this rapacious
warm-blooded killer is almost un
believable: One 21-foot speci-
DR. JORDAN SAYS:
Being Afraid Is Abnormal
Only If Fear Is Excessive
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
What troubles we mortals do
have. Mrs. B. asks for advice
about a friend who "suffers
from every phobia one can think
of."
She goes on lo say that the
friend had an appointment with
an eye specialist, but by the
time she had her eyes tested
she had become so neurotic she
thought she was going blind
when all she needed was glasses
for reading.
This sort of thing, of course.
Is a nightmare lo the person
suffering from the phobia and a
distressing and trying experience
for family and friends. In dis
cussing it, it should be said firsl
-that a phobia is an abnormal
' fear.
It is not (he kind of fear which
all of us have in the face of a
real risk. It is an excessive fear
nf something which is either im
aginary or which a normal per
son will shrug off with little
worry.
In severe cases of phobia or
obsession il may he a symptom
Negro Appointed

The embassy said Snow den is
the first Negro named lo such a
major European post.
of real mental disease. Under
such circumstances, of course, a
psychiatrist should be consulted.
There are many kinds of fears
and 1 shall mention only a few
of them because someone might
think nf a new phobia for the
first time.
One fear is called acrophobia,
which is fear of great heights.
This seems to he quite common,
probably so much so that it is
almost "normal." There is an
other fear called bathophobia,
which really means fear of great
depths. If il really meant the
way it sounded it would he com
mon enough among children.
There are oilier phobias with
long and astonishing names and
even stranger meanings. At the
risk of making this sound like
a list, here are a few: apiphobia
fear of bees; automysopholiia
fear of being dirty; bibliopho
bia dislike of books: cheropho
bia fear of gaiety: and necro
phobia, or fear of death.
Obviously, the last is a fear
which nearly everyone has. It is
a true phobia only when a per
son thinks about death almost
constantly.
True phobias make the victim
miserable and can completely
dominate their lives and point
of view. Even when (he nature
of (he fear seems amusing (o (he
outsider, it is a constant source
of annoyance to Ihe person in
volved and causes untold mental
distress.
Should anything be done about
these abnormal fears? The
answer is yes. if possible. But
remember, being afraid is ab
normal only when it is excessive.
