who recently announced her engage

been checked or hindered by the acts
of two or three envious Intermediates
and slanderers," said Mr.. Noise. "She
is living quietly at her home in Reno.

avail nothing to motorists coming
into or leaving Florida.
We ask that Road No. 8, the short
est route into the South central, East
and West coast sections of Florida be
permanently established with the
least delay, because, no part of the
route is in deplorable condition; the
mileage between Jacksonville and De-
Land is "a miles shorter than by any
other route, and the distance between
Jacksonville and Daytona over Road
No. is no greater than the distance
between Jacksonville and DeLand,
via Road No. 4, and the distance
Jacksonville to Daytona via Palatka,
Shell Bluff nd Bunnell is Is miles
shorter than via any other route
We ask that first consideration be
given Road No. 3 because the time is
short in which to provide a road to
all parts of the State that will serve
all visitors travelling via Jacksonville
regardless of their destination, and
because, the condition of Road No. 3
is as follows which conclusively es-
tablishes it as the route possible of
earliest permanent completion:
Jacksonville to Green Cove Springs,
30 miles asphalt, good.
Green Cove Springs to West Tocoi,

Peters hit slow one to second and

Baseball .G6,55ssib

Hugh Sparkman, writing in The
Daytona Journal, says: Claims that
these semi-pro were better than the
Florida State league clubs was the
sheerest nonsense, for the stars OF
the semi-pros were, nine times out of
ten, players discarded frorl the
league clubs" Which goes to prove
that Mr.. Sparkman is radiographing
through his skinner.
Palatka's ball club was assembled
and playing before the state league
started practice Callahan, Larzo,
Peters, Robinson, Epperson, Holden,
Sanford, Wynne, Gonzalez, Quinn,
Barstow, Valdez, ViIlarino and Lind
sey were on the roster. Not one of
them was a league castoff, and some
of the league clubs made frantic eff
forts to get some of the Pals, espe-
cially Larzo, Epperson, Callahan,
Wynne and Peters.
T.
The Pals whipped s.. Augustine
into perfect silence and St. Augustine
defeated Jacksonville and Orlando,
and played st. Pete a close finish, to
say nothing of the opening game
here with the champions Of the state
.eague. The Pals may lose the next
TWO games to the champions, but they
will surely know they have been in a
battle
Unofficial statistics, including all
games except, in a few instances, the
last three contests of the season,
show that George Block, of St. Pc
terSburg, led the Florida State league
in batting for the season With the
splendid average Of All. Another
Saint. Guy Moore, is second with .357,
and still another St. Petersburg play
er, Bigelow, is third with .341. Big
low went on batting rampage the

His Avocation Is Rattlesnalze Farm

nENVEk.-Willlam A. Bevan. cleo
 trician at the Lacombe station of the Denver Gas and Electric Light company, conducts a snake farm ill West Denver as an avocation. Gagged in the back yard are rattlesnakes and copperheads. They are the subjects for experiments being made by two Denver physicians.
 Soon after the snakes arrive at the farm venom is taken from their fangs by forcing them to squirt it through a gauge stretched over the top of a tum- bler The sticky mass is then spread on small sheets of glass to dry Within few hours it changes into brittle vel low crystals and is collected in cap sules. With the contents of these cap SuieS the local doctors are now work ing, hoping to create market for the venom of the local poisonous reptiles, and thereby save those physicians who pay $3O0 an ounce for cobra venom in Paris.
 ''The old theory that whisky does any good is all bunk-it only acts on the nervous system and has no neu tralizing effect whatever" says Bevan. "The first thing to be done is to suck the poison out of the bite as quickly as possible Next, tie band tightly above the wound and cut it open and

 He says that the young of rattle snakes are born alive, while other snakes lay eggs; that a new rattle is formed every four or five months; that they shed their teeth periodically and, therefore, thee pulling of the fangs would not render them harmless.
 A book is to be compiled by Bevan. Much of his material has been gIeaned from his farm, the peculiar inhabitants of which are the pets of his wife and three children. His three little girls play with an armful of snakes with the same abandon.ethat the average child would play with kitten.

Since deception plays such an important role on the witness stand and in criminal investigation, it is
 imperative that the criminologiSt should become familiar with some of it's manifestations and methods sen.
 ''The earliest account of the case of deception is in the Bible, where Solomon was called upon to decide which of two women claiming a child was lying. He settled the problom by ordering the child cut in two pieces. The liar maintained silence, while the real mother was willing to forego her claim. The Chinese made use of sound psycho- physiological principles that fear may inhibit the salivary flow. The English had the system of the ordeal.' Going urther the modern method of the third degree is en- countered.

This is followed by a short, predatory word preamble, while tracings are being recorded, after which sories of questions are given. The questions are very simple and direct and deal with in different matters as well as the subject under investigation.
 "In every case of deception, as checked by the cardio-pneumograph ic tracings and confession, there are marked changes in the records. The effect of the suppression or re- prossion varies according to the and physical character of the subject. There may be an in crease or decrease in requency, a marked depression or exctaton or more or less summative effect.
