Snake CrawIS into Car of Mail
Carrier; and Dr.. Toys Dogs
Frighten an Adder to Death

farmers along the route were
getting impatient for their mail.
So Mr.. Kirkland, satisfied that
he and his cargo were safe from
damage by the extra passenger,
mounted into his seat, started
his engine, and proceeded on his
way. A few minutes later he
heard a flapping noise, as of
something hitting a mudguard
and then falling to the ground.
The Toy Snake
DR.. and Mrs. Calvert Toy were
out walking Sunday along the
road that skirts the west edge
of the Country Club golf course.
They were accompanied by two
small and active dogs.
They saw a snake lying in the
road. As they came closer DR..
Toy recognized it as a spreading
adder.
The dogs rushed at it-but
not all the way to it-and barked
furiously. The adder lifted its
head, its tongue darted out, and
it hissed with no less fury. The
dogs, circling, now backing off
and then rushing forward, kept
up their demonstration. The
adder twisted its head this way
and that, and continued to hiss.
The doctor and his wife, un-
noticed by any of the disputing
parties, stood quiet and looked
on.
Suddenly the adder's head,
which had been held defiantly
erect, wavered-and then flop
ped flat upon the ground. It's
body, but for a faint quavering,
was inert. DIR. Toy, after wait
ing discreetly for a minute or
so, approached and punched the
serpent with stick and turned
it over. 1t was dead.

Durham Coa1es
Bees

A swarm of bees flew into
Clyde Eubanks' yard on Came
ron avenue Monday afternoon
and came to rest on the lowest
limb of one of his trees. 1t oc-
Cured to him that it would be
a good idea to domesticate them,
and let them provide honey for
the household. But how? He
possessed the spirit of hospital
ity, but he didn't want to deliver
the address of welcome.
So he summoned his persua-
sive and ingenious neighbor,
Harry F. Conner, and proffered
him the job of making the bees
at home. Phe Y.M.C.A. secreta-
! ry was willing enough. He APP
preached within arms length of
the bees and displayed no fear
of them. The trouble was that he
had 10 notion of how to convince
them that they ought to stay.
/ A great light then burst upon
Mr.. EubankS.
Wen cali Carl Durham" he
said.
Mr.. Durham had lived on a
farm and knew all about hiving
bees.
A man who had leapt out of
an automobile and chased and
caught a 'possum, as he had done
recently out in Glandon Forest
capturing bees would be pie for
him.
"The very thing" Mr.. Conner
agreed. II never heard of a bet
ter solution of any problem, .
They got into the fastest of
the Eubanks fleet of cars and
rode down to the drugstore.
Their request hardly surprised
Mr.. Durhm. He has become ac-
customed to being called on for
all sorts of advice by all sorts of
people. He turned over his NOR
tar and pestle to an associate /;
and they procured a hive and
went to the Eubanks yard.
The bees were still there. Mr..
Durham put the hive beneath
them, uttered a few soothing
words of the kind that bees like
to hear, and shook the limb. The
swarm buzzed, docile and happy,
into their new home, and Mr..
Durham returned to his work at
the drugstore. I

CANDIDATES DON'T
 FAVOR 4 REPEAL
HeeI1, Curtis ind Willis Want 18th Amendment

washington. Feb. 2t R-Senator Dorah. republican. Idaho. who has appointed himself to nnd out for the voters how presidential candi- dates feel about prohibition. now has answers from three of them. all pretty much alike.
 Secretary Hoover has joined two other republican candidates. Eena- tor Willis of Ohio. and Curtis os Kansas, in expressing his opinion that the prohibition amendment should not be repealed and that the law should be vigorously enforced.
 This enforcement the cabinet member added. should also be ef- icient and sincere and in his brief reply to Senator Borah said that any president must under his oath pursus that course. He appended this observation:
 Noble tn Motive
 "Our country has deliberately un- dertakcn . great social and economic experiment. noble in motive and far reaching in purpose. It must be worked out constructively."
 In much the same vein but fin varying words, Senators Curtis and Willis made their earlier responses to the Borah questionnaire.
 Observers who expected Senator Reed of Missouri. democratic can- didate. to say something about pro- hibition on his present western speech making tour have thus far been disappointed. Holding positive views against prohibition tho sena- tor has talked of nearly everything else in his attacks on the republi- can administration.
 Another democratic prospect, Governor Ritchie of Maryland, has often made known his contention that prohibition. and a host of other questions, should be left for settle lnent by the states themselves, with out federal intervention. Others mentioned for the nominations pos- sibly waiting to see If Senator Borah is going to mail them questionnaires, gro resting on previous statements
 
 for or against prohibition or for law enforcement.
 Expect Positive Views
 More positive views may be ex- pected when the favorite sons and ot l,era ret into the swing of the pre- convention campaign.
 Governor Smith of New York. whose views on prohibition are giv- ins treat concern to dry democrats. told his state legislature in his mes- sage last January , that future amendments to the federal consti- tution should be referred to refer endum in New York.
 The Empire state has no prohibi- ton enforcement law of its own. But tho governor said this in his message:
 'In the meantime there devolves upon the state tho sacred duty of sustaining tho eighteenth amend ment and tho Volstead law. They are as much . part of the laws of this state as our own statutes and our own constitution"
