Tered to Col. Thomas F'airservis, COM
mander of the regiment, were the re-
suit Of their contention that the Colonel
SHOULD be a man who saw service over
seas. Capt. Evans said:
my resignation represents a differ
ence of opinion in the matter OF running
the regiment. Col. Fairservis is not an
overseas officer. and the overseas Off
ceEs feel that an overseas man should
be Colonel We desire to keep politics
out of the regiment and to keep It on
military basis. other officers probably
will resign"
When vacancy in the list Of Majors
occurred last week, Col Fairservis ig-
nored Cant. Evans, the ranking captain
of the regiment. and appointed Capt
John Kochendorfer to fill the vacancy
Capt. Evans said last night that this ac-
tion OF the Coloners was the climax.
Col Fairservis, who lives at the

However / have determined to Join
my brothers and sisters to prevent not
merely an unjust disposition of my
fathers estate, but to show how utterly
unjustified was the unnatural attack
upon all the children.
II cannot believe that father was him

regret that the influence which induced
such a will must be aired in court.

dear mother, much sorrow in fathers

most unfortunate to everybody con-
cerned
ut Is distressing to learn that after
a mans death and before his children
can be heard paper containing such
cruel and unwarranted statements re-
flecting upon every one OF his children
can be filed in the public records.

ecuted under such circumstances. will

12O DROPS OF VENOM

Just as casually as you would take
a kitten by the scruff of its neck, Ray
mond l.. Dtmars, curator of reptiles at
the Bronx Zoo, picked up twenty-five
copperheads and nine cottonmouth moe
casince yesterday and made them spit
into a bottle sufficient venom to kill
hundred human being.
Twice during the taking of the poison
DR.. Ditmars was on the defensive.
Once four foot copperhead evaded the
Doctors fingers long enough to strike.
Before the snake could attack again
Johnn Tomey, the head keeper, whipped
it around so that it's tail instead of its
head pointed in DR.. Ditmar's direction.
AS quick as the snake itself, the curator
pinnel the triangular head TO the table.
Again, when Mr.. Toomey had fished
a huge moccasion out and flipped it on
the table to be snagged by the 'dexterous
curator the latter's fingers were late by
the fraction of second and the mocca-
sin dashed out. This reptile was twice
as thick and many times as strong as
the fighting copperhead, but. luckily, II
was slower in it's attack.
DR.. Ditmars got his hand out of the
way and by a lucky stab managed to
pin the scaly thing to the table with
r shaped stick. But the head was still
in the air and the white mouth still wide
open ready to sink the fangs into what
ever they hit. The fight lasted minute
and then the moccasin, as the other
snakes. had his snout jamn1ed up against
the cheesecloth cover of glass funnel
The fangs pierced the cheesecloth and
the venom squirted into the funnel and
on into the bottle.

IT HE first report of the Director
General of the United States
Employment Service since
the adjustment of the coal and rail
strikes shows marked Improvement
in business conditions. This infor-
nation is gathered from 355 prin-
cipal Industrial centers.
Increased employment the re-
port says, "is reflected in all but
four of the major industrial groups.
The industrials with increased en-
ployment are: Railroad repair shops
tobacco factories, textiles and their
products, iron and steel and their
products. food and kindred prod
ucts, miscellaneous leather and it's
unfinished products, lumber and its
manufactures, paper and printing,

Decreased employment was shown
in liquor and beverages, vehicles

Gets seventy Drops of venum.

Three times during the extraction of
the ready venom in the thirty-four rep
tiles the right hand of the curator was
sprayed with the poison, although not
cut by the fangs. Lest there be the
slightest chance OF infection the curator
would quit work and wash the sprayed
section. That done he would calmly
resume his work, delivering at she same
time an explanation of what he was
doing.
1t is estimated that DIR. Ditmars drew
seventy drops of venom from the moe
casins. One drop in the vein of human
being would kill that human being in
fifteen minutes unless thep roper anti
toxin were speedily administered. He
took about fifty drops from the copper
hes as. One drop of this would kill as
readily as the venom OF the moccasin.
The yellowsh poison will be dried to
powder and sent to DR.. Afrano Amaral,
head of the Serum Therapy Institute
In Brazil. who Is conducting experiments
at Harvard. M
DIR. Amaral is seeking an anttoxin
for moccasin and copperhead bites. such
as has been found for rattle snake pol
son. AS. the venom Of the rattler is con-
Nerted into a counteracting serum for
the bite of the rattler. so they hope to
find a cure for copperhead and mocca-
sin poisoning in the venom of these rep
tiles. DIR. Ditman declared that IL was
possible that the experiments now being
conducted at Cambridge. Mass. by DR..
Amaral would produce the serum that
would offset the poison OF the deadliest
oc all snakes-the king cobra. which
takes from 5000 to 10000 lives a year

archipelago.

Everything Growing.

DR.. Dtmars performed mis- deft oper-
ations in the enclosure adjoining the
reptile house. With him were DR.. Gil
bert van den Smissen of the Geological
rark staff, and Mr. Toomey. The cop
perheads were in a barrel and the moe
casins in an iron refuse can. Two glass
tunnels had been covered, drum head
fashion. with cheese cloth. Each fun
mel emptied into a bottle. Toomy
stood on one side of the table with "A
wire hook or poker and the curator
stood on the other side with his T.
shaped snake-nailer in his left hand.
About five feet away stood DR.. van
Gen Smissen and a small group that In
cluded members of DR. Ditmars's fam
lily. To make things complicated. five
large turtles were crawling and lurch-
irg around at the feet OF the curator
and Toomey and an ancient turtle that
ioeighs 100 pounds was pokinG its
leathery head between the bars OF the
adjoining cage. taking half-hearted nips
at Toomey's feet and getting frequen
kicks in the snout for its pains.
Toomey would dip his hook into the
barrel or the can and produce a copper
head or a moccasin. The creatures be-
ing somewhat outraged by this rough
treatment would begin striking at ran
dom. The copperheads were the least
difficlt. Toomey would flop them on
the table and DR.. Ditmars would pin
their heads down with his T-shaped
stick. Then he'd grab them we'll up
behind where the ears ought 20 be and
jam the mouths up against the taut
chesscloth.

There was nothing submissive about

their heads to the table with his stick
and take a hard grip, remembering That
all either variety of reptile needs is one
eighth of an inch OF neck to make il
possible to turn and bite the careless

with their thick bodies and heavy blunt
tails. They whipped themselves around
the forearm of the curator and thus
tried to drag their heads out OF the vice.

hull whips and sometimes miss lashing

an inch. The real excitement among the
