Cars Go Over Bank
on Springs Road

Colorado Springs, July 1.--County
Commissioner Joseph Fowler, who has
charge Of the 1900 miles Of highways
in this county, has a grievance mat
he is nursing into a Crouch. Early
last week he started a gang of men 10
work surveying the dangerous curve
where SO many fatal motor accidents
have taken place on the Fremont-El
Paso highway and where Frederick
Smith and his family went over the
embankment two weeks ago. Friday
Commissioner Fowler sent a load OF
eight-foot posts to the place and his
men were all prepared to place them
alongside the roadway TO prevent any
more cars driving over the embank-
ment. Imagine their surprise when
they arrived there to find Ford al
ready over the bank with two men
pinned beneath. Fortunately the oc-
cupants of the car were not severely
injured and were able to proceed on
their journey after the car had been
hauled back up the bank.
The posts were then placed in posi-
tion and Saturday Commissioner
Fowler, accompanied by Clarence
Ford. county surveyor. went down %
inspect the work. AS they drove round
the curve they were startled TO see
another Ford machine wildly careen-
ing around the outside of the curve,
crash into the posts and throw the oc-
cupants OF the car down the embank-
ment. But for the posts they very
likely would have been Instantly
killed. according to Commissioner
Fowler
why did you take that curve at
such high rate OF speed?" the tour
lists we're asked.
We'll, we had been warned about
this road. but the old car had just
been thoroughly overhauled and she
wouldn't slow down." was the surpris-
ing answer.
How in the world are we going to
protect the lives OF tourist motorists
who do not understand driving in the
hills when they pull of stuff like
that?" the commissioner wanted to
know today.
Besides, they ruined my brand new
fence and we have got TO work II all
over again"

Can't Tell Age of
Rather by Rattles

How old is a rattiesnake, II has
always been source of satisfaction
10 believe that n rattieennke's age
could be determined from its rattles.
The very simplicity OF the theory rec
commended H. What would be easiery
A rattiesnake got new ring on it's
rattle every year. Count the rings and
you have his age Now the scientists
come along and explode the theory
They have kept rattiesnakes in cap
,iyity under their normal. native con
ditions and studied them. Raymond
Lee Ditmars. curator OF reptiles In the
New York geological park. describes
the Development OF the ratties as fol-
lows:
When rattlexnske is born. u II

tip OF its tail. few months after
birth "a sheds its skin. In two months
more II sheds it's skin a second time.
and In so doing uncovers the frsi ring
or segment of the rattle which has
been developing under the epidermis
Therefore. every time IL sheds its
skin II u5eoyers new segment. un-
der normal conditions n rattlesnake
sheds its skin three times year. but
unusual climatic or food conditions
may vary the number Of mo,is.
THE rattle is rather delicate or
gan. The snake wears out the older
rings dragging them around over
rough. rocky ground. a rattle seldom
attains a length OF more than 10 or
IL rings, as when that number has
been acquired the vibration at the tip.
when the organ Is used is so
pronounced that additional segmenis
are soon worn. broken and lost.--Ai-

Keep Cattle from
Oak Ranges When
Grass is Short

The poisoning of live stock by oak
leaves has been reported for several
years. These reports have come from
Utah, Texas. Kansas. Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Colorado. In states to
the south and east cattle are poisoned
by the "shinnery" oak, and it is
spoken of as "shinnery poisoning" In
Colorado there ar several species Of
oak and no distinction is made as to
their poisonous qualities. There is a
distinct oak zone over which cattle
must pass in going to and from the
high ranges. DR.. George H. Glover OF
the Colorado Agricultural College,
says:
1.-The injurious effect of eating the
oak leaves is presumed to be caused
by the presence of tannic and gallic
acids, which because of their astring-
ent effects, produce extreme constipa-
ton, followed by intestinal hemor-
rhage and Inflammation. 1t seems
that oak leaves may be eaten without
bad effect providing a considerable
proportion of the ration consists OF
are turned upon an oak range where
there is little other vegetation, the
loss is sure to be heavy.
Recently cases of what stockmen
thought was oak poisoning in South
ern Colorado appeared upon curosy
examination to be hemorrhagic spe.i.
cemia. Intestinal hemorrhage. which
is a prominent symptom with both
diseases, no doubt caused the con-
fusion in diagnosis. Oak poisoning
can be prevented'by avoiding the oak
zones when grass is short and hemor.
rhage septicemia may be prevented
by vaccination"
