The giant reconstruction finance
corporation, working day and night
for the last two weeks, has poured
more than $100,000,000 into small
banks, -10,(100 in number, and two
railroads, Wabash and Missouri Pacific,
as loans on frozen but good assets,
and thus saved the l>apks from
suspending payment of depositors.
The $30,000,000 set aside for agriculture
will have much of it devoted
to seed loans, and the machinery for
that is about perfected on a much
broader basis than in former years.

SOI III CAKOMNA SNAKES
>
, Six Speclea Art* Poisonous and Kattier
Is Largest Venomous One.
"In South Carolina are six species
of poisonous snakes and one of themA
the diamond-hack rattler is the larg1
est venomous snake (in bulk) in the
| world," says Jack Crawford, director
of physical education at the University
of South Carolina and leading
authority on shakes in the state, in
an article published by The Camecock,
university newspaper.
"This snake never grows to a
greater length than T feet 3 or 4
inches in this state, although in Florida
specimens have been found that
measured more than 8 feet in length.
A 7 1-2 foot diamond-back weighs
more than a 17 or 18 foot king Oobra
of India or u 13 or 14 foot Bushmaster
of South America. These are
the three largest poisonous snakes
in the world."
The rusty old water moccasin is the
second type of snake, closely resembled
by the copperhead, another type,
which is sometimes called the highland
moccasin. The timber or banded
rattlcr4nnd the$ pygmy rattler are [
common 'snakes found in the South ,
Carolina swamps which are also
abundant throughout the United
l
111 11 I
State*. Last but not least is tbe
beautiful coral snake which is closely
related to the Indian C^obra, with
similar poison. It is colored red, yellow
and black.
Mr. Crawford says that all snakes
were originally lizards. He realizes
that this is hard to believe, because
there are more species of snakes now
than lizards. The principal differences
between the snake and the lizard
are in their jaw bones and their
manner of shedding their skin. The
snake has a jaw bone which is in two
sections enabling him to swallow bojects
which are larger than himself
in circumference. The lizard has a
single jaw bane.
The snake sheds his skin all in one
unit while the lizard sheds hia in
patches. The lizard also is the proud
possessor of eyelids, while the snake
has none.
I Mr. Crawford intends making a
I trip, to Washington in a few weeks
to study the various species of snakes
exhibited there in connection with a
national meeting on this subject. ?
Raymond (J. Bailey, HI, attorney of
Louisburg, N. C., was killed in Rich-j
mond, Va., Wednesday when he threw
himself in front of a trolley car. He
had been a patient in a Richmond
hospiatl for several months.

IDENTITY MURDERED
WOMKN WITH X-RAYS
Detec'.ives 1 urn to Science
to Scive iVlyatery.
Copenhagen.?How sensational clews
to a murder mystery were obtained by
the use of X-rays Iihs Just been .revealed
here.
Following the discovery of a woman's
legless body lu the mout of the
old fortre?*???f Lcngelenje, the cleverest
detectives of the Copenhagen force
found themselves baffled. There was
not a single clew to go on?no marks
on the clothing, nothing.
An examination of the people missing
In the district farted to produce
any Information which would clear up
the mystery.
It was then that u woman reporter
suggested that X-ray photographs be
taken of the body to see If some distinguishing
formation or tissue might
he discovered A
Photographs Taken.
These photographs were taken, and
the developed [dates showed that the
victim had suffered from a badly Infected
tubercular lung. Her condition
revealed by t|te X-rays was such as to
suggest that at one time she had been
a patient in a hospital,
Armed with this information, the
police made a search of all the hospitals
In the district and examined
all tlie photographs s\vliieh had been
taken in recent years of patients suffering
from tuberculosis. Among them
they discovered one of a lung which
tallied in every detail with the X-ray
picture taken of the dead woman. ^
Name Revealed.
II x a initiation of the hospital records
. revealed the woman's name and address,
and when inquiry was made It
was discovered that she had occupied
an apartment In the city sonic two
months before, but had not been seen
since. Photographs of fingerprints on
llie furniture and door knobs established
beyond all doubt that the former
occupant was the murdered
woman.
With this Information in their possession
the police were able to discover
that the woman had been the sweetheart
of a man with whom she had
quarreled. He has since been arrested
and charged with the crime.
We May Soon Be Getting
Food in Frozen Bricks
New York.?A new development in
the meat and drink problem indicates
that soon we'll fie getting many of our
principal foods In brick form.
Clarence Birdse.ve, an American scientist.
recently has perfected a process
that uses fid below zero cold to freeze
perishable foods as hard as paving
blocks.
Ills Idea came from bis experiences
in the Far North, where the Intense
cold kept his meat and fish In good
eating condition for months.
According to reports on experiments
and tasting tests, meats, seafoods,
poultry, vegetables, nnd fruits frozen
by this new method retain their original
fresh qualities as long as they are
kept hard frozen.
Scientists explain that no change In
flavor, appearance or texture takes
place because the Intense cold congeals
liquid content so rapidly that ice
crystals formed in the products are
too small to cause damage.
Only One Private Has
Congress War Medal

winner of the Congressional Medal of
