Snakes are Food Savers and
Harmless Varieties Destroy
Many Grain-Eating Rodents.

Snakes are a valuable asset and
there should be campaign against
killing them, writes Gayne II. X. Nor
ton In American Forestry Maya
zine. The article goes on TO show
what the snake does for food conser-
walton by way of killing rodents and
insects. the greatest enemies to grain
come acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because of
the thousands who have been engaged
In the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
"With this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the snake
popular interest. Tremendously in
creased tillage has brought people and
snakes together.
"Unless much education work Is
done the number of snakes that will
ing but misinformed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are n national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved. The relation
1t bears to successful crops Is i'm
portant-mOre important than even
the average farmer realizes.
Reptiles are not enemies. They
never attack unless in self defense. OF
our 151 species, but II are poisonous
two species of Flaps, coral snake, and
Is species of Crotaline snakes. the cop
perhead and moccasin, the dwarf and
typical rattlesnakes. On the other
hand the help rendered is valuable.
The pests destroyed each year, espe-
cially the rodents that injure crops
and communicate diseases, roll up
large balance Of good service in their
favor.
Rodents are destroyers Of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and Of human life
through germ carrying, particularly
the bubonic plague. They also destroy
eggs, young poultry, squads and pig
cons, birds and young rabbits, pigs
and lambs. A loss to husbandry not
estimated in figures, but realized as
extensive, Is due to the killing Of fruit
trees by girdling or other injuries to
the bark by species Of wild rodents.
AS destructive agency the rodents
have no rival.
"The gross ignorance regarding our
snakes causes slaughter Of all things
that wear scales and crawl. Farmers
should protect and breed the harmless
snakes. rather than kill them. Many
European countries have protective
legislation"

PHTHISlS AS DEADLY AS WAR
Expert Says That in Four Years u

The war has served effectually to
disclose that during the four years or
hostilities mortality from tuberculosis

armies of all the countries engaged has

of soldiers killed in battle, according
to DR.. Livingstone Farrand. AS direc-

his work overseas within a few days.
He returned to the United States for
graduation exercises of the University

War Trenches, One Of the
Most Ancient War Devices

The trench, consisting of protec-
tive ditch with or without a defensive
earth work In front, is one Of the most
obvious devices Of warfare and doubt
less one Of the most ancient. 1t is
mentioned in the Bible several times
and we are told that when David pur-
sued Saul and overlook him encamp-
ed, "Saul lay sleeping within the trench
and his spear stuck in the ground at
his bolster" Shakespeare knew the
military use Of trenches.) In the play
of "Coriolanus," laid In the time Of
ancient Rome, he speaks Of the enemy
following us to our trenches" and
again Of "our party to their trenches
driven" These and other quotations
that could be given show that trenches
are by no means a modern device. The
fighters Of old knew how to dig them
selves In. The modern trench Is mere
Iy an Improvement and elaboration Of
an old device.

But you've grown quite q lot since

Your brother and you and the ocean,
And nobody's going to tell.
You were only tot when left you.
/ remember I bade you good-by,
And kissed you, a little bit fustered,
And you promised you never would cry.
But know that you cried. little sister,
As soon as ia gone out the door.
And did cry myself: I'm a soldier.

You're the only kid sister I've got
I know youth be good to your mother,
And know that you'n help her lot.

You were only kid to your brother,
But you're more than the world to him

Startling Defects Develop
in Rigorous Aviation Tests
for Air Service in Army

That startling percentage Of men
now being accepted for air service
have hidden physical weaknesses that
may prove their undoing Is indicated
by new scientific tests that have been
made on a large number Of newly en-
listed airmen, says John Arson Ford
in Popular Mechanics Magazine. These
tests. which reveal so much Of vital
import for our armies, have been made
by a Chicago specialist, Capt. Charles
Moore Robertson of the Medical Re-
serve corps, who has fitted up for the
purpose cabinet in which each fiier-
to-be was placed and subjected to at
mospheric conditions Identical, so far
as pressure Is concerned, with those
obtaining in flying, the air being rare
fed by means of powerful pump.
Each man was examined both Def, .'e
and after being confined in the cabinet,
each examination consisting In taking
the blood pressure, ascertaining the
muscle tone by measuring the dura-
ton of one nerve impulse with dyna-
mometer and stop watch, and in re-
volving the subject In pivoted chair.
The records show that the first ex-
aminations gave no indication Of the
condition that would exist after the
flight" over 25 per cent Of the men
proving unfit, according to these tests.
For this reason 1t is strongly contended
that most serious mistake Is being
made in accepting men for air service
merely on the basis Of physical ex-
animation made without taking into
account the effect Of sudden changes Of
air pressure.
