SNAKES IN QUEENSLAND BUSH
Residents Set Traps for Unpleasant
lntruders, and Lure Them to
Their Death.

"W0men In Queensland" says Miss
Puxley. young English woman, au-
thor of "Wanderings In the Queens
land Bush," ''often set traps for
snakes which have entered houses, in
the shape Of a frog left hopping about
or a saucer full Of poisoned milk.
Both of these are sure draws, the
snakes being killed while resting after
the meal" She then tells the story Of
friend of hers, who was standing in
the doorway of her house when a
snake. having seen a saucer of milk
just behind her, pushed past her to
reach this dainty. She quickly closed
the door when 1t was halfway
through, and 80 broke its back. This
was one Of the deadly black snakes
of Queensland. Another bit of in
formation about snakes, which Miss
Pulley gives. is the fact that because
Of the angle at which certain
snakes teeth are set It 10 impossible
for him to stop swallowing anything
once he has. really begun. So 1t hap
pens that two snakes, which may have
started out on a killing In, spirit
Of camaraderie, may ;, each begin
swallowing at one end of their prey,
but when they have reached the mid
die there is nothing to do except to
continue, and the snake with the
largest mouth is forced to include his
less fortunate companion of the
chase in his meal.

DR. FRANK D. SANFORD
Gunnison Empire.

Gunnison Empire.
The community was terribly shock
ed last Friday morning at the news
of the sudden passing of Dr. Frank
D. Sanford, leading physician and
much loved and respected citizen
Death found him at his post attend
ing a pasient in his office Mrs. San
ford was alone but instantly sum-
monned neighbors and physician, but
the doctor was beyond human aid.
DIR. Sanford had resided in Gunni-
son almost thirty years, where he had
always led in his profession, and
where he was held in the greatest es-
TEEN. Trained at a time when SER
vice to mankind took precedence
over financial returns, the Doctor
always gave of his best professionally
and an overflowing measure of kind
ness and sympathy.
Many people in Colorado Springs
and the southwestern part of the
state recall his residence in those
places before he settled here.
While never a politician in the
sense of seeking office, DR.. Sanford
stood high in the councils of the Re-
publican party and had been rendered
many appointments by officials of all
parties. At the time of his death he
was County physician.
DIR. Frank D. Sanford was born in
Keokuk, Iowa, seventy-one years ago
last September. He was member of
the Woodmen of the World and of
the Order of Elks.
He is survived by a widow and his
daughter Margaret, now Mrs. Robert
McAndrews, who had recently re-
moved with her husband and little
son to Denver from Michigan, and by
his aged mother in Cincinnati. A
most pathetic incident was the arri-
val of a letter from his mother an
hour after his death.
The funeral was held Sunday at the
home on Main street, where many
friends and neighbors bade goodbye
to the loved one as he lay asleep in
his Office, amid such bower Of beau
tiful flowers as seldom is seen.
The Episcopal burial service was
read by the Rev. Geiser, and inter
ment was in tire Silent City east of
town.

kuretich.Pasic

On Saturday morning at $50
O'Clock, at the Catholic church, Rev.
A, Hilbig united in marriage Miss
Rose kuretich, eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kuretich, and
Mr.. John Paste, second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jos. Paste.
Miss Slavka Kuretich, sister of the
bride, was bridesmaid, while Mr.. An
ton Paste, the groom's brother was
best man. Little Miss Emma Kuret-
lch was ring bearer, and little Miss
Christina Lacey acted as flower girl.
A large crowd attended the cere-
mony after which the invited guests
repaired to the Kuretich home where
a bounteous dinner was served.
The same evening a free dance was
given at the Croatian hall by the
groom.
MIR. and Mrs. Paste were the recip-
tents of many useful gifts. They have
gone to housekeeping in Tony Welch's
house on Main street.

prices for their product. In the case
of private firms and individuals, it is
impossible to invoke competition from
abroad. They either have to pay what
is demanded or do without, since the
tariff is wall which excludes all
rivalry.
The Government is not going to col
lect from the Marine Corps the large
sum which ordinary importers would
have to pay for bringing this cloth
into the country. Accordingly, it
will save the entire $1S0,000 repre-
senting the difference between the
price at which the khaki was pur-
chased in England and what it would
have cost if bought in the United
States under the Fordney-McCu Cumber
profiteers' tariff law. The tariff, if
paid, would almost equal the amount
the Government is said to be saving.
Commentators are saying that if
the Fordney- Nc Cumber tariff is a
good thing for the country, as the
Republicans contend, the Republican
administration ought to set an exam
pie to the public by paying the prices
which protected" American manu-
features charge for their products.
The administration has set prece-
dent for buying other government
supplies abroad and avoiding its own
high tariff duties, but private indi-
viduals cannot dodge the tariff as the
Government does; they must pay it
either into the Treasury If they buy
abroad or into the pocket Of the local
manufacturer if they buy at home.

Insect Radio Carrier.

The modern RADIO fan is advised to
consider the gall midge. 4 minute hy.
and other forms of insect life, by q.
Porter Felt, New York state entomolo-
giit. who calls attention to the an
tennae or "feelers," of some insects
and radio receiving sets. The loop
antennae. such as are used in indoor
receiving sets. find almost exact coun-
terpart in the construction of the an
tennae Of the little insects, and Doctor
Felt suggests that they were designed
to catch faint vibrations Of the air.
These receiving sets from Natures
own laboratory are carried wholly BY
the male insects. Doctor Felt states,
and their probable purpose is to en-
able them to hear the plaintive love
call of the female from great dis
tances. While the male gall midge
carries the most complete model of q
receiving set that IL known in the
insect world, the female makes no
noise that is audible to human ears.

Administration Buys Abroad an,
Saves s1sO.O0O by Dodging its
Own Tarfff

Half million yards of khaki drill
with which to provide uniforms for
members of the U. S. Marine Corps
have been purchased in England by
the Harding administration and will
begin to arrive in this country in July.
In explanation of this purchase of
English materials for American SOL
diers spokesmen for the administra-
tion say that the goods can be bought
for $1s0,000 less in England than in
the United States provided no tariff
is collected.
According to the mouthpieces of
the administration, the Marine Corps
early last spring canvassed fifty-five
American mills for the special fabric
it wanted but received only one bid.
The price demanded by the American
concern which sought the business was
in excess Of that subsequently quoted
by the successful English bidders.
This experience of the American
Government itself illustrates the op-
Grafton and effects Of the Republic an
profiteers' tariff. The exorbitant duty
on wool gives the manufacturers an
opportunity to charge unjustifiable
