BIuffing Among the Reptiles.

The ancient practice of bluffing IL
not limited to the human species. Va.
rious animals pretend to be worse
than they ares = az
The hog-nosed snake is a perfectly
harmless little fellow, with no capa.
cities in the way Of poison, and yet
this reptile, which is rather pretty, is
given such sinister names as fiat-head-
ed adder and sand viper, and is usual
~ killed on sight. This is because 1t
has the habit of flattening its head and
putting out its neck and kissing vio-
lently, which is for no other purpose
than to brighten off intruders. 1t is
a plain bluff, to give the impression
that the reptile has poison fangs.
This counterfeit is usually taken at
its true value, and affords the hog
nosed snake considerable protection,
except in the case Of human beings,
who destroy the innocent reptile on
sight, when it is not only harmless but
useful also in keeping down vermin.

PRETTY MYTHS Of BUSHMEN
Real Poetry in Legends Handed Down
Among the Aboriaines Of
I; Australia,

Fish were not always fish, and did
not always stay under water, accord
ing to the story of the blacks of the
Australian bush. They say that fishes
once lived on land and went hunting
just as other people do.
One day the fishes were gathered
together in a camp near a river, the
story goes. 1t was very cold, and the
fishes were huddled around fire try
ing to get warm. Suddenly great
wind came up and blew both the fishes
and the fire into the water. The fishes
just crowded around the fire under
the waves and kept warm. That is
how the fish first came to stay in rivers
and streams, the bushmen say. They
add that the fire is still under the wa
ter, and that is why it is always warm
err under water on cold day than it
is on land. They also say that the
crow once owned all the fire there was
on earth, and that he kept it in bag.
One day it dropped from his bill and
sparrow hawk saw it fall. He dove
after it and grabbed the bag. When
he flew away the crow gave chase and
overlook him. The two birds fought,
and in the mixup the fire fell out Of
the bag and set the grass and leaves
ablaZe. The crow tried in vain to
prevent the spread of the flames by
stamping on them and rolling in them,
but the fire spread over the earth
and everybody got some. To this day
the crow is black from rolling on the
burned grass, they say.

IL Loans totaling approximately
$4,000 have been advanced te
about 1900 disabled soldiers by
the American Red Cross for personal
uses while these war veterans were ad
justing their affairs with the federal
board for vocational training: These
loan are in no sense looked upon as
charity either by the soldiers or the
Red Cross, the latter considering this
bit Of financial assistance q part OF
its war obligation.
Red Cross liaison officers are in
touch with all the district officers of
the vocational board and the public
health service. These Red Cross men
are able to help the soldiers when the
government check miscarries, during
the interval between approval for
schools and placement in school, when
subsistence and transportation are
needed by those denied training, and
under various other conditions.

HUGE OVERSEE SHIPMENTS
MADE BY RED CROSS,

- Two million crates, bundles OF
barrels, weighing 21S,310,0QO
pounds were shipped by the
American Red Cross to twenty-one
countries from ten ports in the
United States between April 1, 1917
and July 1, 1919, according to re-
ports sent to national headquarters in
Washington. This tremendous volume
of business was shipped across the At
lantic and Pacific oceans during the
war and after the signing Of the arnis-
tice from New York, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Montreal, Newport News, New
Orleans, Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Seattle. In addition to this great
store of supplies, the Red Cross pur-
chased supplies in the countries where
1t operated, both for the soldiers and
afflicted civilians.

governments offer

to- provide free treatment in public
service hospitals, and compensation
while the treatment is being admins
tered. -., ~
The government estimates that there
are fully $4,000 men in this country
who are unable to work at full ca
pacity because of wounds or disease
contracted in the line Of duty who
should be receiving this treatment. So
far only about 1000 men have applied
for such service.
"A statement issued from the ma
tional headquarters Of the Red Cross
in Washington shows that a great mis-
apprehension exists among the dis
charged men regarding the govern
ment's plan. -".. "-
:"Due to Misunderstanding and mis-.
apprehension a surprising number Of
disabled service men are scattered
throughout the country not knowing
the benefits which are still THEIRS"

Acceptance Of the government offer
does not mean return to service. The
hospitals are civilian institutions. They
ARE separate institutions. and are not
connected in any way with the army or
navy. ase. 80
THE Red Cross is constantly dis.
covering men who, through ignorance
ior prejudice, are losing the advantages
of this wonderful service. So effective
has this work become that the govern.
;ment has asked the Red Cross to make
this part of its regular relief work.
All that is necessary is for the ex-
service man to apply to the nearest
Red Cross chapter. Arrangements
win be made there for him to enter
one of these hospitals after examina.

and II his trouble is the resultsOf serv.
ice with the army or navy he will be
given transportation and admittance
to a public service hospital. hin

FROM EAST INTO MEMPHIS

Memphis, Tenn, March 17.-Trarflc
over railroads entering Memphis from
the east virtually was at standstil
today, owing to washouts along the
routes of the several roads operating
east of the Mississippi river, due to
yesterdays record.breaking rainfall,
while westbound traffic was moving un.
der almost normal schedules To the
south, Illinois Central trains were being
detoured over the tracks of the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley.
Fair and summerlike weather today
followed yesterdays high winds and
unprecedented rainfall here. and it is
expected that by late today damage tc
the railway roadbeds will have been re
paired sufficiently to permit a resump
ton OF traffic on all roads under vir
tualy normal conditions. Large forces
of linemen also were sent out from here
to repair damage to wire systems
Only minor property damage was re
