 They're great ball players today, Paul and Lloyd, the charter mem bers of the great Pittsburgh out field that just acquired the fin ishing touch in Freddy Lindstrom from the Giants. But back in those days in Oklahoma, the farm was the thing, and at the season in particular, the most parsicu- lar thing in life was watermelons
 Father Waner had given the two boys tiny patch of ground for the cultivation comparatively, of these melons, to be eaten by them alone, at their own discretion and according to their own good judgment, when their mutual eff forts had produced the ripened fruit. Paul was 13 years old, Lloyd g.

THAT PRIZE MELON

Each day at dawn Paul was out in that patch with Lloyd watching the melons grow, snapping bugs off the plants. piling dirt around them to keep the sun from burnt ing them to death.
 One melon in particular was blessed with all the advantages sun and earth could bestow upon plant life and that melon thrived as none other in the patch.
 It was nearly ready, nearly ripe. But one day, at dawn, Paul hur- ried out to the patch. The melon was gone.

FINAL CONCERT
ON ESPLANADE
FOR SEASON
BY RONALD THORNE


The third and last Of the sum-
mer series of Esplanade concerts
at the Pan-American building
was given last evening by the
Navy Band, Lieut.. Charles Ben
ter conducting, with Hector de
Lara, Mexican baritone. as guest
artist. It was a delightful evening
for an outdoor concert, and the
attendance was the largest that
has turned out for any of the
series.
The concert recognized the an
piversary of the Independence
Day of Brazil, and the national
anthem of that country was
played as a part of the program.
AS usual, the concert was trans
mitted by radio not only to lis
teners in this country but by
Short-wave broadcast to the
countries Of Latin America as
well.
There were fewer first rendi-
lions on the program than usual,
and consequently a greater pro-
portion of works more or less
familiar to the audience. The
flynn to the Sun" Of Daniel A.
RobleS, a Peruvian composer who
writes much in the idiom of
Justin Ellie, was the most en-
Enthusiastically received of all the
numbers played. It is not new
to Washington, for it has figured
on several Pan-American pro-
grams.
Two dances by Alberto Cali
many, of Panama, and Ernesto
Lecuona's "Malaguena" were
likewise warmly applauded.
The soloist appeared in three
groups of songs, and offered as
his most ambitious selection the
"Song of the Adventurer," from
"Il Guarani," a work that re-
vealed well the range and power
of his voice.
AS usual, a full moon was on
hand to do its part toward max
ing the occasion enjoyable.

African Rainmaker Makes
Use of Snake.

Weird myths and strange super

in by various native tribes of Africa,
are related in Serpent Worship in
Africa" publication issued in the
anthropolOgical series of Field Mu-
scum Of Natural History, Chicago.
Wilfrid D. Hambly, assistant curator
of African ethnology, who led the re-
cent Frederick H. Rawson-Field Mu-

rica, is the author.
One of the most amusing tales re-
lated in Mr.. Hambly's book is that
concerning the use of a snake to
break drought. When rain is need
ed tribe known as the Gagesu sends
rainmaker and priest to a spring
in which a snake lives. Nearby they
construct large trough which they
fill with beer. When the snake comes
out to attack them it gets drunk on
the beer, and while in helpless con-
dition its fangs are removed by the
men. GIOlu LHe N6Il II lldS itIt Utl-

The water thus drawn is believed to
attract rain, which will continue to
fall until stopped by the priest
When it is desired to stop the rain
the snake is again tempted to in
dulge too freely in beer, the water
pots are then overturned. the rain
ceases and the sun shines to ripen

Many of the African tribes attrib

beautiful girls, and many instances
Of sacrifices of the most attractive
maidens are cited by Mr.. Hambly.
CGrrollary to this was superstition
that once prevailed in Dahomey that
the sacred python appeared to the
most beautiful girls to induce mad
ness, whereupon they were obliged
by tribal laws to enter the service of
the snake temple. AS a result of
this, certain roguish priests of this
temple are reported to have per
