TWO-HEADED SNAKE
MAKES ITS DEBUT
IN HAGERSTOWN

HAGERSTowN, Nd, July 81
Midsummer is bringing an unusual
lot of interesting snake stories from
different sections. Snakes ore re-
ported very plentiful this season, and
in the mountains rattlers are said to
be more numerous than heretofore.
o. s. Hinton. who lives near the
Potomac river, discovered a peculiar
looking snake in the foundation of an
old building. He killed il and found
to his surprise that he had also killed
sixty-eight little snakes, each several
inches in length, that were in the
big snake.
From Hancock comes the report of
a double-headed snake having been
seen at Sylvan, in the mountain north
of that town. The reptile had head
on each end, the head on the end
where the tail should have been hav-
ing a white line for the opening of
the mouth and two white spots for
eyes.
The-other head was perfect. The
snake was about three feet long and
when made angry, it is said, the
reptile tries to run both ways. 1t
is like an elastic band in the middle.

MAN-POWER NEED
L|KELYTO SHORTEN
CONGRESS RECESS

Rapid depletion OF men eligible for
military service in class l may cause
ConGAessmen to hasten back to
Washington before the end of their
recess to enact legislation that will
provide an enlarged army.
Minority leaders in the Senate
favor such action. and Senator Cur
tbs. Republican whip" proposes issu-
ing a rallying call to Senator's OF his
party to return here. Under the
recess plan, regular business may be
resumed should a quorum give it's
unanimous consent.
Senatorial opinion inclines to ages
of twenty TO forty as the proper
figures. Some big army" advocates
insist that eighteen TO forty-five
would be better. Another class be-
Iieves that thirty-five or thirty-six
would be high enough. and Secretary
Baker, according to Congress. onal be-
lief, favors the latter view.
Senators in Washington today be-
Iieve that the exact ages to be fixed
by the draft are less important than
enacting the necessary legislation
promptly.
An army of 100000 men at least
finds favor with the vast majority.
Others favor "the sky as the limit"
and quote the Presidents why stop
at 5000, ,O0O?"
Even should the most conservative
changes be enacted in the age limits
an army of well over 5,OO0,OOO could
be provided easily.
Already, including July quotas.
more than 5000 900 men are enrolled
in the armies OF the United States.
OF this number 100000 approx
mately have been drafted. The rest
are volunteers.
Under the present draft law 641. .12S
men may be added to these figures.
bringing the total approximately to
3,SI5,OOO. To these may be added the
volunteers to the regular army.
To increase the total armed forces
to 5.OOO.0 900 would require in round
figures 1,125,OOO men to be obtained
from the new draft.
