The words of County Clerk William

Iisland possessions, and in several parts
or Europe. l have east anchor il

tion, its better than California climate
and What looks to me a wonderful
future want to stay here. It's as good
as any other place and better cities,
like men, have their faults and Pueblo
has hers. Most normal men do what
they think about most and in some
cases some of them do a lot OF other
people. Success means everything TO
the individual, to the community and
Its people. mans failure does not
effect himself and his family only.
Others are sure to lose something by
his failure. Too many failures in a
community will ruin 1t for it gains the
reputation of being a business grave
yard. A city which makes the most
progress is one where the business
men score success. Therefore. all
should help each other to achieve
success and not let anybody fail il we
! can prevent it by timely assistance.
Tho best way for community to
achieve success and make progress is
to patronize home establishments.

A NATURALIST AT WORK

tine interest. Thus when he first set up
his movie apparatus In the ZOO and an
nounced his intention OF filming the
various species. no one was very
greatly impressed. Yet many of these
pictures have proved of great value. In
the same casual way DR.. Ditmars has
succeeded in building up "A collection
of reptiles which is recognized as one
OF tho finest in the world.
4 Mnn who Likes snakes
Like several other well-known natur-
alists this curator Is not only a great
student of rcptiles-he is great ad-
mircr OF them. II am never so happy"
he says. ''as when l am ON a ledge all
acrawl with rattlers. l take as much
delight in their gorgeous colorings as
a jewel collector might in the prize
stones that come into his possession"
He himself has captured many prize
specimens for the ZOO. He knows
about twenty snake dcns where
snakes hibernate. all located within so
miles of New York and about this
time OF year he starts out on snake
hunting expedition from which he al
ways returns with bag full of hiss
ing reptiles. II makes him furions.
however, to hear OF other people hunt
Ing snakes. especially II they hunt to
kill them. For this reason he keeps
secret the locations of his snake dcns
as II they contained buried treasure.
| Tho most that he will divulEc is that
| they arc to be found largely in the
Rampaco hills of New Jersey.
Last year ] motored about a thou

| don't know how many moro in making
n round of my snake dens," says DR..
| Ditmars. and | now have the places
all charted. I have to keep them a
closely guarded secret or farmers liv-
| ing near them would destroy the dens
with dynamite"
The curator's own snake hunting
weapon is merely a harmless forked
stick. with pronEs not over two inches
| long. This is jabbcd at the snakes
| head so as to pin it to earth. Then an
other stick is laid across his head
close to his jaws.
Il usually rest my knee on the Soc
ond stick to hold ii In place. and then
while the sn' ke's head is held power
less to move, grasp him around tho
neck with one hand in such fashion
that the thumb and second finger are
firm against the back of his jaws
and tho index finger pressed against
tho rear Of his head. II your fingers
are quarter of an inch too far back.
tho. the snake can whip it's head
around and strike. That is what gives
the game its thrill. / guess. When you
have him like that IT Is simple mat
ter to drop him tail firse into the
waiting sack"
Dr. Ditmars IL a strong. heavily built
man with a quick eye and movement.
Agility and steady nerves, he SAYS. arc
the principal requirements in handling
wild creatures whether they he
monkeys or reptiles.

Another German Evasion

When DIR. Simons told the German rechstag that
the latest German reparatons offer was different but
rot better proposition he preludiced his case with all
impartial observers After such statement il cannot
be surprise to hear that the French government has
declared this proposition to be unacceptable
There is the possibility that Dr. Simons was unwil-
ling to tell the whole truth openly the representatives
of the German people, and that this offer is really moro
favorable to the allies than the former German propo
sitlon But if that is the case, winners of the
World war cannot afford to put themselves in the posi-
ton of accepting from the Germans proposition which
the German foreign minister declares is not more favor
able than one that the Allies have already rejected
AS was pointed out few days ago. there does not
seem to be any possibility of reconcing the conflicting
demands OF German public sentiment and of the Allied
governments Any proposition that would be approved
by the rechstag would be unacceptable to the Allies

Governor Shoup,s Vetoes

While there will be some local disappointment in
connection with Governor Shoup's veoes of appropra-
tions for branches of state educational institutions
public sentiment generally will approve his action. In
deed these veoes have been expected for these appeared
to be in which the senator's and representatives
found 1t easier to bills which they thought the
governor would have to veto, rather than assume the
responsibility of beating them upon a direct vote
. Colorado needs concentration rather than further
dispersion of its institutions of higher learning and the
is quite right in saying that extension work
thru the high schools and in other WAYS is better than
the establishment of branch institutions that differ in
essential features from the central schools already
established.
1t is also true that the money needs of the central
schools of the state at the present time be
cved by the establishment of such branches and those
needs great that the available funds of the state
be used to better advantage the schools that are
