or snakes from the parched desert
sands: pythOns from the jungles of
South America, and all manner of in
sects and vermin that infsst the
woods are not uncommon in the sup
porting cast of modern movies.
Jack Altman, reptile curator extra
ordinary, furnishes the usual or the
unusual in these lines op short no.
tice from the studio managers.
Whether it be the elusive cockroach,
needed to complete a scene in lunch
room, or a 30-foot alligator as back
ground for a jungle picture, Altman
takes the order and either delivers
from his stock or makes use of his 80
years experience as student of the
wild to go out into the desert or
mountains to get them.
List of "Props"
Included in the weird list of crawl
ing or flying things which the cura-
graybacks, ants, woodticks, cent?
pedes, bats, turtles, tarantulas, frogs,
lizards, horned toads, grave robbers,
Chinese dragons. ella Monsters, igu-
anas and dozens of different kinds OF
snakes.
Allman's speciality, however, is rat
tlesnakes. When he receives a rush
order from studio for a certain type
OF RATHER with a certain number of
rattles, he looks over his troupe and
if none fits the order. he proceeds to
make one up.
Making Up A Rather
For instance, a studio manager or
dered thirteen ratified RATHER. 1t
was needed in a picture built around
the so-called unlucky number IS. The
nearest Altman could come to 1t was
even-rattler. so he got out his
supply of extra rattles and soaked
them in warm water to soften them.
After the seventh rattle on the
snakes tail had likewise been soft
ened. he slipped on the extra six rat
ties and delivered the thirteen rattler
on time.
In case the deserts or mountains OF
California do not provide the kind of
specimens wanted. Altman gets them
from the ZOO or from importers.

For Coughs that Ordinary
Syrups Won't Help

well known and now retired New
York City druggist says there was no
cough remedy in his several New York
stores like Adamson's Botanic Cough
Balsam. Most Cough syrups are easily
and quickly prepared. But to put to-
gether properly, according to the IA
nous Adamsons prescription, the well
known cough destroying ingredients
found in this famous sure prescription
would take five hours. That would
make the price prohibitive. For this
reason, and the superior curative herbs
of nature found in it, Adamson's
Cough Balsom is not to be compared
with ordinary cough syrups.
But here is why you can obtain this
never failing cough balsam for only
35 cents at any good drug store. Large
quantities to supply the large de-
mand, compounded in a modern scien-
tific laboratory, and as carefully as

Plan to Relieve
Big Cotton Market

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 13.-(Pl-
Presenting a program designed to
afford relief from the present cotton
market depression, the South Wide
Cotton conference, in session here to-
night. called for the retirement of
100000 bales of the present huge
crop and recommended the establish
ment by cooperative organizations of

The retirement of the surplus must
be accompanied by "a reasonable re-
duction" in the crop acreage for 1927.
Adoption resolutions offered by a
committee named from every cotton
growing state, the conference set UP
tentative machinery for bringing
about the desired production cut.
