INAUGURAL BALL WILL

larity, Says FrOmme.

From the present indications wa
will have the largest inaugural bail
in the history of the state on January
49," r. l.. Fromme, chairman Of tho
committee in charge of the ball,
stated yesterday afternoon. II base
this statement not so much on the out
of town interest in addition to the
increased desire of the local people
to get invitations for friends in the
neighboring cities, but rather to the
engagement of the Ladies Columbia
Symphony orchestra and to the fact
that this is the first big event in four
years and that the governor who Is
being inaugurated was elected on a
landslide ticket 1t is given in honor
Of the governor, the members Of the
legislature, and the state officials.
"The secretaries Of the chamber OF
commerce in Seattle and Tacoma have
been taking unusual interest in the
BALI, Mr.. Fromme said, and are sub
mitting names of persons desiring
to attend the ball, but they are re-
quired to vouch for them the same BE-
local people are. A large number tf
requests for additional invitations ate
being received from members Of tie
legislature to whom invitations and
tickets were allied "a
week ago. These requests apply more
to the western part of the state, par
ticularly the Puget Sound region, Cea'
tralia, Chehalis. and the Grays Haf
Dor cities rather than east OF the
mountains. i. s--..4.-s ~
"A meeting OF the ticket selling
committee with the trustees Of the
chamber of commerce and state
officials was held Tuesday noon at a
luncheon at the Olympian to select
the regular reception committee, the
names Of which will be announced
later. One thousand tickets have
already been sold out of town. Local
persons interested in the ball should
make application to r. l.. Fromme,
chairman OF the executive committee,
or any one Of the members, Martin
Gottfeld, Joseph Reder, Jesse Shelley,
and H. B. Fultz. The price of the
ticket is five dollars the couple with
one and one-half dollars for extra
lady. The concert starts at 8 o'clock.
Season tickets are available at the
price Of seven dollars, including the
inaugural ball and three legislative
dances given by the chamber Of COM

a common grass snake Is poisonous
even though it may not prove fatai.
For the snakes which have no poison
fangs have venom in their blood ana
saliva. and this at once penetrates the
minute wounds made with their teeth.

greatly in odor. Some smells like gar

smells rather like gunpOwder. but the
common toad produces poison with
the fragrance Of vanilla.
Most fish contain small quantltles
of poison, as many fishermen know 10
their cost. Dogfish sting with their
fins. These fins are actually poison

have poison glands at their base.
