SNAKE NOT ENEMY OF MAN Whether it is his appearance or The effect of old superstitions w^iich makes the snake such a generally halted creature is not clear. It is, however, known that there is very little love lost on him. His presence usually creates, in those who happen to be within his reach, either a desire to run away from him or to attack him. In spite of the fact that the snake has no particular charms which might inspire love, it is true that the non-poisonous species are friends of man. Their chief diet is j rodents and should any farmer be so unwise as to exterminate or drivo avtuy all the snakes on his place he will find their places will be taken by numbers%of rats and mice. A cold-blooded animal and entirely different from the warm-blooded type, the snake has many things about him which are repulsive to man. His method of eating Mb food whole ancj in most cases still alive is not a pleasant thought. His body structure enables hitn to swallow an animal many times bigger than he is. His Jaws are connected by elastic ligaments which Btretch and allow the mouth to become almost twice its normal size. The process of swallowing is more a process of the snake working its body over that of the victim than It is uf actually swallowing It. The snake fastens the teeth of one Jaw into the body of his "meal" and then with u peculiar motion draws the other Jaw beyond the one being used as a fulcrum. He then clamps this jaw down and moves the other one forward. The procedure is followed until the food is inside the stomach, where it is controlled by the stomach muscles. Since it is only natural that the animal beiug swallowed show considerable objection, it is not uncommon tor the snake to have some of its teeth broken out. Nature lias foreseen these accidents and has supplied an extra row of teeth along the jaw just under the skin. When the struggles of the snake's victim break out one of his teeth, one of the "spares" slides over and take its place. Comparatively few of the 2,000 known species of snakes are poisonous. The venom contained in the sacs of those which are Is one of two different kinds. Either it contains a haemolyttc agent which breaks down the blood corpuscles and attacks the lining of the blood vessels, or It has a neurotoxic agent which attacks the nerwe centers controlling the muscles and causes paralysis.?The Pathfinder. Another Liquor Store Warren I).

I| O I Beetle Traps Being Placed in Camden j Inspectors who will determine local spread of the Japanese beetle are now being placed in the Held by the United States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation witli state officials. '1 he beetle is a serious pest of economic and ornamental plants in sectlous of the country where it is established. In collection with the survey, metal traps designed to lure and capture the beetle are used. A trap route will be established in this city withlu a few.days. A funnel, on top of which Is mounted a four-winged baffle, and u beetle receptacle attached to the bottom of the funnel, constitute the main parts of the trap. Included in the assembly is a bait container to dispense a mixture of geraniol and eugenol. Beetles attracted to u trrtp fly against the baffle or into the funnel aud drop down through the funnol opening into the receptacle. Here they ure trapped since they cannot roach the opening ut the bottom of the funnel. In the adult stage, the Japanese beetle is a brightly colored Insect about the size of the common potato beetle. It is metallic green except for the greater part of the wing covers which ure coppery brown. Positive identification murks are five white spots on each side of the abdomen and two white spots neur the tip of the abdomen. Although the insect feeds In the grub stage on the roots of plants, the greater dumuge results from the feeding of the adult on foliage, fruit and flowers. The adult does not cut the entire leaf, but feeds between the veins, giving the leaf a luce-like appearance. Usually the beetle is first noticed on grape leaves or on the foliage and blossoms of flowering plants. While distributing and examining traps, it will be necessary for the Inspector to entbr privute property. Residents are asked to cooperate by permitting the placing of trups on their premises. The inspector carries credentials which will bo produced on request. The nature of the work lias been reported to the local police department. For several years federal and stato departments have enforced quarantines and practiced control measures to prevent the country-wide dissemination of the Insect. Such efforts have aided in conllnlng the pest to its present area of distribution. Quarantine regulations restrict the movement of nursery and ornamental stock, fruits, vegetables, sand, soil] and ot^ier materials which may carry the insect from infested areas. Chemical treatments are applied in controlling Infestations at isolated points. Specimens resembling the beetle described above should be collected and handed to the trap Inspector, or mailed, together with name of sender and the exact address where specimens were found, to the field headquarters of the Bureau of Entomology and* Plant Quarantine, Room 916, County Office Building, White Plains, iMew York, inquiries regarding other phases of this work should be sent to the same address. The Covington mills of Covington, Qa., have filed suits seeking a return of $150,000 in processing taxes paid by the plant. The suit is based' on an attack on the constitutionality of the agricultural adjustment act under which the processing tax was collected. 1 What Smashed His Radio?
