NO HOME COMPLETE
WITHOUT A SNAKE
Great Destroyer of Rodents,
Says Head of Reptile
Study Society
ANY OLD SPECIE OF
REPTILE WILL DO

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The preten-
sions Of the snake, as a domestic animal
Of great value, were aryanced by Allen
Is. Williams, president OF the Reptile
Study Society OF America, at a dinner
last night at the Chinese Delmonico's s
In Pell street.
The society, OF which Mr.. Williams
Is the head, middle and end, has under
taken a campaign OF education on be-
half OF the snake, claiming that as a
destroyer OF rodents and other small
pests on the farm he is the friend and
benefactor OF man. For the poison
bearing snakes Mr.. Williams holds no
brief and comedies they necessity for
their obliteration from the earth; but
OF the non-poisOnous ones he had this
you could have heard a pin drop:
ITO the lay mind, the idea Of the
black or the garter or any one OF a
thousand varieties OF harmless snakes
being Of any service TO mankind may
appear preposterous and unworthy OF
But the facts are otherwise.
The snake has a very important bearing
on the question Of food production,
matter which. even since the signing or
the armstice, grows more important
daily. The snake is the great small
pest destroyer OF the American farm.
Every person who kills a non-poisonous
snake might just as well destroy one
times the snakes weight In
wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the value
Of the snake he taught hereafter In the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and says he intends 10 become the edit
or OF q publication devoted to snake
and culture. He advocated
the introduction OF a small snake or
two into every household in the land,
saying that the snake, contrary 10 pop
1lar belief, made an ideanhousehold pet,
and in the course OF every year repre-
sented many times over a saving Of his
weight In mousetraps.

State institutions just one day. Mr.
Gooden did not even have an oppor-
tunlty 10 do any actual work, as he
was named on Monday and yesterday

This quick action was brought about
by a wrangle among the Republican

rent resolution was passed by the two
branches providing for the Committee

Senate committee one. There were sew
eral Republican candidates that the
House committee had under consider
alton. but the four members Of that
party, It seems, could not agree on any
two.
Representative Klair, Republican, was
supporting former Representative Coul-
ter Messick, OF Bridgevllle, and 10 put
his man over he Joined with the three
Democratic members and the four
elected Mr.. Messick and Mr.. Gooden.
This caused considerable comment, and
yesterday a Joint meeting OF the two
committees was called. There are four
and one Democratic mem
Der Of the Senate committee.
When the two committees got to-
gether the four Republican Senators
and the three Republican House mem
bers started TO undo what the House
had already done. Mr. Klair
stood by his action Of Monday. but the
other seven Republican members Of the
Joint committee proceeded 10 elect
.hree auditors, and Mr.. Gooden was not
one OF them. The three elected were
Mr. Messick, former Representative
Frederick Bender, OF Delaware City.

A Joking suggestion has been made

wall on the line Of the adjacent school
property, No. School, the hospital

said windows.
AS the school property is to be sold
in the future, the Board Of Education
did not know whether the windows
being placed in the Babies Hospital
wall might not depreciate its value.
The matter was referred to the law
committee and the city solicitor.
II the Board of Education at some
time in the future shall obtain money
to build schools. the proposition has
been made TO sell some Of the very
old buildings, such as Nos. 3 and 4
and TO erect new ones elsewhere. The
buildings are so old that it will not be
practical 10 renovate them for schools.
The suggestion was first made by Dr.
Clifford ]. Scott, and the Board Of Edu-
cation has approved the plan. Al
though it is yet only a possibility Of
the future, IL will in all probability be
carried out II the board obtains build
ing funds and can sell these old prop
critics advantageously.
The Babies Hospital some time ago
added to its buildings by purchasing
the Simmons house at No. 2ii Washing
ton street, next 10 No. School. This
house is to be fitted up and improved
by the hospital trustees, who wish to
place three windows on the school side
TO make the place lighter.

stances. Senator Gormley is also op.
| posed to the feature OF all five member:
Of the board being elected at large.
Representative McNabb, minority
leader in the House, was even more
outspoken in his opposition TO the bill
as introduced "The first page Of the
bill is enough 10 show me that / will
have to oppose 1t as drafted" stated
Mr.. McNabb. Il refer 10 that feature
that provides for all fve members to
be elected at large"
Mr.. McNabb made it plain that his
opposition would be that he does not
believe the bill would give a Democrat
an equal chance with a Republican to
be elected a member Of the proposed
board. He pointed out that Whining
ton now has Republican majority, and
with all five members elected at large
the prospects would be that his party
would not be represented on the board.
Mr.. MeNabb is also Of the same opin-
ion as Senator Gormley relative to real
estate In Wilmington being overtaxed
already and wants to know where the
$4,000 is to be raised.
Mr.. Warner, one OF the trainers on
the bill, in discussing the measure.
stated that q OF the 81 organizations
that make up the City Committee have,
already endorsed the bill and that he
has every reason to believe the other
ten organizations will take similar ac-
ton. He states that the 81 Organiza-
tions represent many thousand tax
