For Federal Censorship.

The Christian Science Monitor OF
Boston, which Yields a wide editorial
influence, is in favor of the proposed
federal censorship, because it believes
that it is "a step that would make for
Capitalization, compactness, and fixed
responsibility" Most likely such 4
step would be, as the Monitor con-
tinues, welcomed by all respectable
film producers and motion picture
houses" if, and the If could we'll so
in capital letters, there could be any
assurance that a federal board would
Ietard the mushroom-like growth OF
censor bodies all over the country. But
we are afraid the federal idea is some
what late In it's birth; too many small
boards have already tasted the joys
Of minding other peoples morals, too
many legislators are ready to create
new jobs, while making good campaign
material. No, there will be ninety-and-
nine censor boards whether there is
one labeled federal or not. And
meanwhile the poor picture struggles
along it's trouble-beset route.

Demand Is for Youth.

"One of the greatest fears that q
person Of my profession has Is that
OF old age" says King Baggott. The
motion picture camera is heartless.
1t allows no deception, for the arts
of grease paint cannot be used to con-
ceal. IL a man is fifty he looks fifty
or even older. The high lights and
shadows accentuate the wrinkles in
the face. 1t is worse for the leading
man than it is for the comedian. For
the comedian looks happy always. and
happiness gives the appearance Of
youth, while the face of the hero, in
showing seriousness or pathos, looks
older. For the heroes of the movies
there is an element Of tragedy in the
demand of the public for youthful
idol"

Marjorie Wood, who plays the part
OF Rose Gaythorne in The Third
Party" confesses to being q movie
nend. When she Is not rehearsing or
playing she may be found at some one
OF the nearby picture shows devouring
the luriG melodrama Of the western
plains. Miss Wood Is q philanthro-
pist In her own way. and when at
home In New York she frequently
takes girls from the deaf and dumb
asylum to the movies. These girls.
as rule, have been taught lip read
Ing, and can tell by watching the
muscles of ones face what is being
said. Naturally Miss Wood was rather
surprised when one Of the girls wrote
these words on a pad of paper and
handed 1t to her:
What do you think that man in
the picture said to his sweetheart just
now?"
Miss Wood wrote her reply and
handed the pad back to her COM
panion:
That he loved her, l suppose"
The mute girls reply was startling.
1t read as follows:
Darling, please remember that the
firm pays me $3.50 a week to make
love to you. You don't suppose I'm
doing this because like you, do you?"
Miss Wood was interested immedi-
ately, for the acting was so sincere
that no thought of guying had entered
her mind.
What did she say?" she wrote on
the deaf girls pad.
you wait till tell my husband how
you've insulted me, and he'll beat your
ugly face to a pulp"
Upon inquiry among her deaf and
dumb friends Miss Wood learned with
establishment that the conversation OF
the actors in the pictures invariably
had nothing whatever to do with the
scene depicted. For actors who are
fond of guying soto voce she recon-
mends the movies as a field for their
pleasantries.

JACK TUCKER, ORACLE
OF SABINO CANYON,
LECTURES ON SNAKES
Arizona Rattlers Don't Commit
Suicide and the Story OF Charm
Birds Is Fiction.

TUCSON June 20.-On the seacoast
they tell fish stori s and on the desert
it is snake stories that afford opportu-

uralist the Mayor" and only resident
of Sabine canyon. which is near this
city, eXplodes some popular beliefs
about the habits of snakes
Notwithstanding the fear in
which snakes are held by the human
race he says. ut is surprising how
little Of their habits are known by
the average person.
There is no truth in the story
that a snake win commit suicide by
biting itself II has long been known
that rattlers do not fight among
themselves, nor try to injure each
other by biting II has also been
proven beyond question that the rat
lesnake is not affected by its own
venom and is proof against the bites
Of other poisonous snakes.
1T is popularity supposed that
some species Of snakes have the
power of charming birds which they
easily capture for food A short
time ago I witnessed the capture of
a small bird by a black racer which
ifs one of the worst reptile enemies
that the birds have. My attention
was called by loud cries and the lluc
tering of wings to a bush directly
back of my camp. AS ] arrived I saw
the bird strike the snake a stinsing
blow on the head with its wing but
the next instant the snake had the
bird in it's mouth Did let the snake
get away with the bird / should hope
not. ! believe that the story OF

trained naturalist who happened TO
wiinoss one of these occurrences.
Age Of Rather
"lt is the popular idea that the

by the number of segments OF rattles

erroneous. AS many as four rattles

"There are marked differences in
snake eggs Those which produce
living young have very thin shells,
which are ruptured almost as soon as
they are laid. allowing the young to
escape other snakes lay an egg

"In cutting off the head of what
you suppose TO be a dead rattler, creat
care must be taken, or else you are
apt to be severely bitten.

bout to pick It up, but on second
thought decided not to take any
chances. so securing a small stick /
attempted 20 pry the mouth open in
order to take a look az the fangs.
The instant that the stick came in
contact with the head, the mouth
opened like a flash and the fangs
sank deep into the stick. Fully two
or three minutes had elapsed from
the time the head was severed Il is
dangerous proposition TO handle a
rattlesnake head either dead or alive.
THE rattlesnakes that are found in
Arizona belong to the genera Crotalus
Of which there are nine species found
within the state The Crotalus mo

dangerous species we have in this
