'RATTLESNAKE THEORY

DISSO Ell
According to popular belief a
r%attlesnake acquires a new ring
on it's rattle each year and hence
its age can be told by the number
of rings; but this notion is incor-
rect, biologists say. The rattle
snake adds from two to four rings
a year, usually three. Under nor
NAL conditions a ring is added
each time the skin is shed. Soon
after birth the last seven or eight
vertebrae fuse and form a COM
posite bone called the shaker"
around which the rings are form
ed. Terminal rings may be brok-
en- off because Of wear and acct
dents, so that in time the number
of rings has no relation to the
age Of the snake.-Exchange.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.


Mrs. Patrick Sullivan, wife OF the
new Senator from wyoming, is one OF
those brave, indomitable women who
helped in the building of the wild and
woolly" West. She has seen her home
town, Casper. Wyo., grow from little
settlement of 500 people, walking over
COW trails and crude dirt paths, to a
modern, bustling city of $4,000.
AS a young girl from her home IN
Cork County, Ireland. Mrs Sullivan
travelled to that land of promise, the
Golden West, where she found awaiting
her romance and happiness. 1t was
there she first met her husband, a
young lad also from Ireland, and 1t was
not long before they were married in
the town of Rollins.
All the scenes so eagerly read about
by Eastern tenderfeet," such as the
great round-ups, the village dances,
where cattlemen and rancherS gath
cred, the travelling over many miles Of
rough country roads by stage coach and
horseback, all have been known and
lived by the wyoming Senator's wife,
who tells you she is one of the pioneers
of her native State.
Home Is Her Chief Interest.
While the Senator has spent the
greater part of his life in the manage
ment of his large sheep ranch, Mrs,
Sullivan's was devoted to the bringing
up of a large family, with little time
for outside interests. The Sullivans
have four daughters, three Of whom are
married and living in the West, while
one unmarried daughter, Miss Marga-
ret, remains with her parents, whom she
expects to join shortly in Washington.
Mrs. Sullivan is fundamentally and
entirely domestic. Her love and her
interests are her home, her children
and her grandchildren, of whom she
has four. Asked whether she thought
the young mothers of today were con-
fronted with greater problems in the
bringing I'D Of children than they were
