For three years the Aherns have
been following this business. and they
win probably have 800 or 400 snakes
this season. They expect to do far
better than ever before. now that the
war has ended. The principal profits
come from the extracting of poison
from the rattlesnakes, which Is sold at
high prices to doctors, chemists and
others. Physicians use this poison,
after 1t has been prepared in a scien-
tifc manner. for the treatment of cpl
lepsy and other diseases. 1t is known
as crotalin.
They also get a good revenue from
the sale Of live reptiles to museums
and travelling shows. The established
rate Is 2 cents a pound. A large. fat
serpent usually brings several dollars.
The smaller. poorer specimens are
killed and rendered into oil, which
has a steady sale at 81 an ounce.

BELC|UMS RAIL
DAMAGE BILLION
Commission Puts This Estimate
on Destruction of Lines
and Bridges.
FOE DESTROYED $50 MILES
Seventy Per Cent Of Damage Was
Done In 1918-French Coal Region
Loss Fifteen Billions and Re-
pairs to Take Ten Years.

Paris - The Belgian commission
which is investigating the damage done
by the Germans to railroads in Occu-
pied territory, while 1t has not yet
finished its work, Is In a position TO
give interesting figures relative to de-
struction caused by the Germans.
The figures show that nearly $40
miles of railroad tracks were destroyed
completely and nearly 260 miles vir-
tually destroyed and rendered useless
out of a total mileage of approximate
ly 1900 In Belgium.
Done Mostly in 1918.
These distinctions mostly were In
the Mons coal valley, in the region OF
Journal and around Client, Bruges,
Ostend and Courtrai and 20 per cent
of the destruction vas carried out dur
ing the period from the start of the
Belgian offensive on Septemler %,
1918, and the signing of the armlstice.
The Germans appropriated 2,614
locomotives out of a total of 4,534, or
about 81 per cent; 9,062 passenger
cars out of a total of 1882, or 90 per
cent, and S0,56S freight cars out of
a total of 94,737, or Sc per cent. The
block signal system in Belgium was
destroyed and replaced by a German
system, with which the Belgian loco
motive engineers are not acquainted.
1t will have to be removed and the
Belgian system again installed. The
commission Is not able to make pub

at Liege, Namur, Huy, Dinant and An
seremme. Eight bridges over the
Ghent-Terneuzen canal were blown
up. Two Of these bridges at Balzaete,
near the Dutch frontier. weighed
100000 pounds each. 1t Is estimated
by the commission that more than 109,-
100000 pounds of steel will be required
to rebuild the bridges In Flanders
alone.

Faces Formidable Task.
France Is faced with a most formid.
able task In reconstructing the impor.
tant coal and Industrial districts of
the department of the Nord and the
Pas de Calais, and Ii will cost 10.
OOO,OO0,000 francs ($15, 000,0 ZOO, 0O0),
according to a statement made to the
French senate by Louis Loucheur,
minister of industrial reconstruction.
The Germans completely destroyed 101
coal pits, and Mr.. Loucheur said he
hoped that IL the French had luck
and worked very hard they might be
able to produce $4,000 tons daily by
the end Of 1919, instead of $4,000
tons, the output before the war. The
repair Of the mines will cost more
than 1900, 1000 francs ($4O0, OOO, OOO)
and cannot be accomplished in less
than ten years.
The factories In the district have no
raw material and the machinery has
been destroyed or carried away. Mr..
Loucheur said 1t would take several
years and 10000 freight cars to bring
back the machinery taken to Germany.

FROM WAR TO PEACE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Automobile Trade Did More Than
Its Bit to Help Win War.
Fleet Of American Trucks Coming In.
to Use for Additional Transporta.
ton Facilities Needs Services
OF Released Soldiers.

AZ single industry the automobile
trade did more than It's bit to help win
the war. Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications In quantity
and quality of delivery, but they built
better than II was thought they knew
how. Proof of this was given the 9th.
er day when, at an auction of old army
cars In France, the French and the
English bid higher prices for the cars
than they cost the American govern
ment new. An army of men was EN-
ployed to run these trucks and cars
on the firing line. They gained more
experience In II month of that sort of
work than they could have gained In
a lifetime of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad,
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service, and are returning In large
numbers to civilian life. There Is no
lack of work for them to do. For the
fleet of American trucks now coming
into use for additional transportation
facilities all over the country needs just
such men--men who have learned how
to act In any emergency, who feel al.
most Immediately the idiosyncrasies of
every motor, who have acquired an eff
cheney under shell fire that will make
them leaders In their work In peace
times.
Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the
secretary of war, who Is In charge of
the unemployment work for ex-service
men, announces that number OF such
men, are now available for private EN-
ploy. The automobile industry VIII
not lose this opportunity of obtaining
men who, to their pre-war ability, have
added the exceptional training and e2-
perience of months on the firing line.
These men will be in demand, and can
be obtained through governmental and
welfare employment agencies, who will
put them in touch with employers who
need their services.
