Friendly With Snakes

At Port Elizabeth, South Africa, at
tached to the Natural History Museum
and Aviary, Is large snake garden, =
where poisonous reptiles live In per
feet freedom, among their natural sur
roundings The garden Is, of course,
cut off from the rest Of the world by
a concrete wall.
Its keeper Is negro who has
worked in the snake garden from the
days of his childhood and has actually
succeeded In building up a real friend
ship with his scaly charges Protected
only by gauntlet gloves and leather
puttees, with his other clothing mere
ly the regulation uniform Of the mu-
scum, he fearlessly enters the inclos-
ure and freely handles his pets.
When one considers that the major
ity Of the snakes in the garden are of
the most deadly varieties the Afri-
can cobra, the puff-adder and the fer
defiance among others-one would
think twice before offering to swap
jobs with the keeper of the reptile
house.
Poisonous snakes are popularity be-
lieved TO be untamable, but the negro
keeper at Port Elizabeth seems to
prove that if not actually affectionate,
they can be persuaded by kindness to
tolerate human companionship.
The snakes In the Port Elizabeth
garden are not used for display pur-
poses only. Their venom, extracted,
Is used in the preparation of serums
and antidotes for snake-bite.

Hospitality

A good friend of mine, Franklin 1.
Miller. says that If nobody speaks
pleasant word to him during the early
mart of the day he becomes gloomy
and less efficient as the hours go by.
If. however, on his way to the office,
the corner policeman touches his hat
and says in a CHEEKY voice, Good
morning Glad to see you looking SO
well this morning" it will materially
increase his efficiency. Hospitality is
the one thing which is unlimited In
supply, can be manufactured from
nothing and without expense, Is In
great demand and yields huge profits.

Fictitious Moruels

There recently appeared in Vancou-
yer. b. O., man who was credited
with performing marvellous cures.
Thousands attended his meetings, and
tremendous stories went about as to
his powers. Finally twelve honest and
capable men investigated him, and dis.
covered that not a single marvellous
thing could be credited to him; that
the thousands who told wonderful
tales were indulging in plain false
mood. This is also the history Of every
other marvellous thing.-From q. w.
Howe's Monthly.

HEAD OF LEAGUE
SAYS PARENTS
NOT INFORMED
Mrs. Stearns Cites Section
161S-A of State Code
in Statement

Mrs. Dora A. Stearns, of Los An
geles, president of the Public Schoo
Protective League, with headquar
ters in Los Angeles, has just re
turned to that city after few days
spent in Imperial Valley, as an out
come OF the recent eye trouble hers
in the schools.
Mrs. Stearns states, in commu
nication 10 the Press, that she
found many parents -uninformed re
garding their legal light and con
fused as to the legal Interpretation
of Section l61S-A of the politicaI
code of the state, which provides
for school authorities making rules
for physical examination of pupils
in the public schools.
Mrs. Stearns statemetn follows:
There seems to be little mis-
understanding as to the rights and
privileges of parents under f6lSA
of the polical code, which provide.
that "boards of school truseees and
county boards of education arc
authorized to provide for proper
health supervision of the school
buildings ..and pupil enrolled in
the public schools under their juris-
die. 'on; this law also provides that
a parent or guardian having con-
troll or charge of any child enrolled
in .he public school may file annual
" with the principal of the school
in which he is enrolled a statement
in writing, signed by such parent
or guardian, stating that he will
not consent to the physical exami-
nation of his child, and thereupon
zach child shall be exempt from
any physical examination, but when.
ever there is good reason to believe
that such child is suffering from
a recognized contagious or infee-
tious disease, such child shall be
sent home and shall not be permit.
ted to return until l.he school auth.
critics are satisfied that such con.
tagious or infectious disease does
not exist.
Text Of the Law
"This is the text of the law and
there is no provision made where
by any exception to this law coulC
be misconstrueL and examination Of
eve, ear, nose or throat cannot be
required, since it would, according
to the text OF the law, be physiea
examination and therefore would bt
unlawful.
"This law specifically states tha
school boards may establish Eealtl
supervision; that 1oes not mean
county or city health departments
! but boards of school trustees ol
city and county boards of education
School authorities, should carefully
note this provision and execute theil
!4rights, for it is to them that the
taxpayer looks for protection, a:
! well as results in the school.
"The law also provides thai
school authorities must determine
when a child may be permitted tt
return to school after having been
excluded or sent home. School auth
critics should jealousy guard every
duty that is placed upon them and
be prepared 70 assume the burden
of responsibility and enforce the
letter of the law in all school ac-
tivities, and 16lS-A is a school law
which belongs essentially 20 the
school authorities. - !,

Wonaen's Interests
LACE IS LAVTSHED
ON MODELS FOR THE
HOT SUMNER DAYS

With the inauguration of n dis
tinct summer season, it is interest
ing to note distinctions in the mode.
and the emphasis that is placed on
the appropriate fabrics and trim.
mings. Lace comes under both heads
for it is lavishly used for entire
gowns and for trimmings. The full,
lace flounee below the tunic is only
one form. The double flouneed
skirt is another, and the lace
flounce that flares out at the hin
or the knee produces silhouette
all its own.
The little cap sleeve of lace is
less a sleeve than an armhole fin
ish, and serves to soften what might
otherwise be rather harsh, unbe-
coming line. While searfs are
prominent, the scarf of lace has Il
special opportunity to lend grace
and distinction to a design. Lately.
Spanish or silk laceS have rivaled
Chantilly for first honors. Laces
are tinted in soft shades of wood
brown, shell amber, apricot and
similar suhdued colorS. tTwo-toned
laccs are much used, the mesh in
one shade and the pattern in Il
lighter or darker tone.
Beading simply takes new forms
and goes blithely along without suf-
fering any diminution of style in
terest. Straps of beads continue to
play an important part in decora-
tion. They may take the place of
sleeve drapery, falling in long loops
from the shoulder or extend from
the back to form bracelets for the
wrists.
