BYRNS MEASURE
i STILL FACTOR
IN HOUSE
Salary Raises Hit by Bill in
Limits Put in Filling
Recurring Vacancies

With the House adjourned
until Monday, it was indicated
today, that when consideration
of the Interior Department ap-
preparations bill is resumed
next week, no attempt will be
made by salary reduction advo-
Gates to amend the bill to slash
employees pay.
The fac that such a rider plan
was so decisively defeate in the
case of the Agriculture bill means
it will not be sought in the
Interior or other departmental
bills. Representative LaGuardia
declares.
Byrns Bill a Factor
However, the supplementary
bill sponsored by Chairman
Joseph Byrns of the Ways and
Means Committee and at his re-
quest considered in connection
with the agriculture bill is still
q factor to deal with.
The gist of it may be con-
sidered with the Interior and
other supply bills. It IS one of
the most sweeping limitations on
personnel and salaries ever
attached to a supply bill.
Bills Provisions
1t would prohibit:
Increasing pay of any posi-
tion within the grade to which
such position has been allocated
by the classification act.
Increasing pay of any posi-
ton in the field service, the pay
of which is adjustable to cor
respond with departmental SER
vice here.
Increasing pay of any position
through reallocation.
Increasing pay by advance
ment to another position in
the same grade or to a position
In a higher grade at a rate in
excess of the minimum rate of
such higher grade, unless such
minimum rate would require
an actual reduction in pay.
Increasing pay of any other
position in the department.
~.vaThe .Aplan also would prohibit
any new appointments except
absolutely essential positions" to
be filled by the President in writ
ing.
Adoption of this resolution
would prevent any salary in
creases. Since hundreds leave
the departmental service each
year for one reason or another,
and since this plan would pre-
vent their jobs being filled, the
Federal forces would be greatly
reduced during the fiscal year.

DOUBTS IF PYTHON
CAN SWALLOW MAN
Zoo Director Says Reptile Is
Kind That Crushed Boy
to Death Recently.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Could the new 27-foot reticulated
python at the Zoo biggest snake in
captivity, swallow a man?
1t is barely possible. say DR.. William
M. Mann, Zoo director. and L. Ross
Freeman, the monster reptiles captor,
but both men have lived many months
in big python country without hearing
of case or knowing of any authentic
recorded instance.
The nearest to it, Mr.. Freeman says,
Is the killing of little boy in Sumatra
recently. The snake crushed the life
out of the child, but natives intervened
before it had chance to swallow its
victim 1t might have done SO if it had
been very hungry. 1t is barely possible
the reptile hunter believes. that occa-
sionally a full-grown Sumatran native
is killed and swallowed. if he chances
to run upon hungry snake when alone.
The natives are small men with narrow
shoulders The width of the shoulders,
he believes, alone would make it i'm
possible for the creature to swallow an
adult white man.
Pig Favorite Food.
The snakes favorite food is the small
wild pig which abounds in the Su-
matra jungle, which weighs about SO
pounds 1t can be killed easily and in
Evening star., 1932-07-15

stantly by construction around the
breast, which stops the heart action,
and is of just the right size to be swal-
lowed comfortably. 1t also Is fond OF
the Sumatran deer. a small creature
weighing about go pounds. 1t can dine
only on the females. for the big horns
of the male probably would prevent 1t
being swallowed
If very hungry the big snake might
eat almost any creature 1t could sWal-
low. It's digestive powers are remark
able. Hair, bones and hoofs are dis
posed of as easily as flesh and blood
The work of digestion. however taxes
up most of the monsters energy. SO
that it can do little until 1t is ready
for another meal.
The big snakes and the ferocious
tigers live in the same jungles ana the
favorite food of each is the wild pig
That they ever actually fight each
other for their food is very doubtful
In the first place. there Is plenty Tor
both. They simply avoid each other
Secondly. the snake could not swallow
a full-grown tiger even If it could Kill
it. The tiger would not be likely To
eat the snake unless extremely nun
CRY. Also, it was pointed out, the great
reptile would not be much OF match
for the tiger. whose claws are ike
sharp knives which could cut through
its body.
Never Swallowed Alive.
The big snake, Dr. Mann says, never
would swallow another animal alive. II
would wait until the pig or deer hac
ceased all movement before beginning
the laborious process of getting it dowr
its throat. Although there are indi-
vidual differences among snakes. few
ask more than the mere satisfaction o1
their appetites. The rattlesnake, ne
points out, is especially gentleman In
this respect. Surrounded by live rats
it will kill only one and allow the others
TO run over it as much as they please
The large new python in the Zoo here
is getting adjusted to its new cage ano
spends about 80 per cent of its time ap-
parently asleep. Actually, DR.. Mann
says. it is impossible to tell whether II

clubs tied for first place in the
scoring of the various groups
throughout the past year, each
making SO out of a possible
100 points. The rating of the
clubs is based upon the degree
to which each unit carries out

Other clubs scored as fol-
lows: Aiken 81, Appleton "a,
Colora II, Childs 80, Cherry
Hill 76, Principle Is, Liberty
Grove SO, Oakgrove 70, Leslie
81, and Hopewell rs.
A resolution was adopted, as
an expression of the 462 Home
makers of the county, to the
effect that "the loss of the
Home Demonstration Agent
would mean the loss of contact
with the vitalization force of
the Extension Service and the
loss of a central distributing
agent for the member clubs of
the Federation"
\ 1t is therefore resolved that
an expression of support and
appreciation of the work be
made public and that a copy of
the resolution be laid before
the County Commissioners.
The development of poise and
self-confidence, executive abil-
ity and community leadership
among rural women has been
due to the efforts of the Home
Demonstration Agent.
The resolution was drawn
up, it was said, because "the
value and Importance of the
Extension Service has been
questioned by certain taxpay-
ers DESTROYS of reducing the
Cecil county budget of expen-
ses."

MINISTER GAINING FAME
AS ARTIST

A Rowlandville correspond

teresting news concerning a
former pastor of that place:
Rev. Clark S. Marshall, art
list and minister of Church Hill,
Md, a former pastor of Harm
ony M. p. Church in our village
is having a one man exhibit at
the Baltimore Museum of Art
and the best evidence perhaps
of the quality Of his art is that
two days after the exhibition
opened a New York banker.
known as a connoisseur and
collector, purchased two of his
paintings.
Mr.. Marshall was a painter
long before he became a
preacher. A native of Talbot
county he came to Baltimore in
the early days of the Charcoal
Club and was a familiar figure
in the local art colony. His
landscapes attracted the at
tention of out-of-town critics
and some of his work was
shown at the Corcoran Art Gal
lery in Washington, D. C. One
Of his early canvasses belongs
to the permanent collection Of
the Baltimore Museum OF Art;
other examples Of his genius
are hung in the homes of art
collectors in Baltimore and
elsewhere.
The exhibition now on at the
Museum shows that Mr.. Mar
shall's hand has not lost it's
cunning. His valley Road

group and Morning in the

Vitality Experiment

With dance marathons, tree
sitting competitions and bum
ion derbies fading into the linn
DO of public satiation, Spring
brings on it's heels a fresh crop
of marathons, chief of which is
the dieting marathon which
opened Saturday (May 81,
1882 at the Grand Central
Palace, New York City.
This eating contest, or to
some degree starving contest.
is in the nature of a scientific
experiment to determine the
relative merits of white flour
and whole wheat products as
articles of diet. Such tests
have been conducted many
times on various animals but
this is the first time that an ex-
pertinent of this nature has
called for the use of human
subjects under scientific con-
troll.
AS evidence that there are
always plenty of people who
are ready to try anything once,
5000 persons volunteered for
the Vitality Experiment which
will last for 80 days. Most Of
them were women.
Physicians under Charles A.
Clinton, medical director Of
the Bernarr Macfadden Foun-
dation, have selected three
groups of eight each. One
group is living entirely ON
whole wheat products, another
on white flour products and the
third on water alone. The
first two groups subsist solely
on breads, biscuits and cereals
made of the two fiours. But
ter, milk, vegetables, meat and
other articles of diet are bar
red.
An entire floor of the Grand
Central Palace has been con-
verified into combined camp and
dietetics laboratory. The wo-
men sleep and eat on one side
of the hall and the men on the
other. Guards are on hand to
see that no food except that Of
the prescribed diet is given
them.
FUN and accurate records of
physical and mental reactions
to the three diets are kept so
that the results will be of def
mite scientific value.
