REPTILE TALES
(For The Gazette)

Pythons in Africa cat goats and
pigs, but rarely if ever kill children.
The ringed boar snake was wor-
SHIPPED by the early Mexicans.
A snake expels about two-thirds of
its poison from its glands at the first
bite.
There are four orders Of reptiles
the Testudinata, or turtle; the Lori
cata, the alligator and crocodile; the
Lacertilia, or lizards; the Ophides, or
snakes.
The boa constructors make their
monthly meal on from one to four rats
according to their size. Birds and mice
are the food of the black snakes.
The big pythons eat from three to
four pigeons every ten days.
Tie hoopsnake is small snake of
the South Atlantic States, tabled tc
take its tail in it's mouth and roll like
a hoop. Similar stories are told of
the wampum snake, closely related
species, common in swampy ground
in the South, and both are called
"horn snakes" In reality both species
are perfectly harmless.

FREDERICKSBURG FAIR

We are just in receipt of
the premium list and pro
gram Of the Fredericksburg
Fair, to be held Sept. 81 tc
80, inclusive. The. annual
fair held in our neighboring
city is the oldest institution
Of its kind in the state, and
we take the occasion to COM
plir1ent the public-spirited
men who are at the head O;
it.
The large premium list is
certainly attractive. The
amusements are plentiful
and include a merry-go-
round, whip, and a novel and
fascinating ride called the
Seaplane, as well as a
variety of clean shows spon-
sored by an up-to-date
amusement company. Races
will be held daily, both tr0t--
ting and running, and from
the entries, will apparently
be one Of the drawing cards
of the Fair.
We have no doubt the
people of Alexandria will
improve the opportunity OF
mingling again with their
neighbors in Fredericksburg
and can assure them a most
pleasant and enjoyable time.

REQ Ships Train Load Of
Speed Wagons

Another inu'cation of a return to
normally and further proof that
business conditions are getting back
to their cid Time footing is eviden'
ed by shipment of REQ Speed Wa
gems which has Just Deen sent out by
the REQ Motor Car Company at
Lansing. THIS lis the second solid
train load of Reos to leave the Lam
sing factory within q period Of 3
weeks. As in the previous case
the train load is bound for the East,
consigned to the Linscott Motor Car
Company of Boston, Massachuset Is.
REQ officials believe that this IS the
first trainload of trucks ever shipped
for commercial use. AT least 1t IS
believed that it is the first train load
of the same capacity and model ever
sent out.
The first train load, about equally
divided between Passenger Cars and
Speed Wagon. was shipped to Bos-
ton two weeks. ago. 1t comprised 237
uEits and this shipment was scarcely
on its way when another telegram
was sent from Boston asking for an
additional train of Speed Wagons
from the Lansing factory and the
order IS on it's way.
Particular significance is attached
to the fact that this train load of
shipment consists entirely Of REQ
Speed Wagons. Upon this fact is
based the contention that business
conditions look brighter than ever be
fore. 1t is pointed cut that If one
section of the country has sufficiently
recovered from the general depres.
son of year ago to use REQ Speed
Wagons IN train loads lots, the out
look is surely to be regarded as en-
couraging.
According to the officials of the
REQ MotJr Car Company the recent
prices ale not entirely the answer to
the greatly increased demand for
the Speed Wagon. It is believed
that this train load order of REQ
products is simply an indication thas
business IS pretty nearly back to its
old status ana upon comparing fig
ures, the REQ officials claim that the
demand is only a normal one ana
that is ,,ue entirely to the fact that
the REQ Speed wagon IS serving IN
the many and varied line of business
which are once more stabilizing.
Business did accelerate at the time
new prices were announced, but an
important fact is pointed out in that
the two new and improved models
were announced at the same, prices
as their predecessors and that the
demand for these has been just as
great as for. those on which the price
was lowered. Now comes greater
demand than ever for the REQ Speed
Wagon which is taken as proof that
things are looking better than ever
before not only in the cities but, ~
the country as well. That whole
train loads Of Speed Wagons are
speeding across the country to serve
the eastern market is certainly en-
couraging.

THAT WASHINGTON HIGHWAY

From Virginia Highlands
to the Long Bridge is about GU
one and a quarter miles. We
have had vague assurances,
from time to time that a
modern asphalt road would
speedily replace the obsolete
Belgian blocks that are now
a terror to the way farlng
automobilist. Their antiquity
may add to the interest OF.
the sight-seer, but certainly
not to the comfort of those
who are obliged to motor to
Washington almost daily.
Good intentions may some
times make a good paving
material for other localities.
But the people of Alexan-
dria have no preference be-
tween them and cobble-
stones.
We beg to bring this mat
ter to the attention of our
friend, Mr.. Edward Duncan,
who we understand is the
supervisor for the State
Highway Commission in this
district. We feel that some
energy on his part might al
leviate the present calamit-
Gus situation.
