 Satisfied with the operation, Wyatt placed a tray of hamburger in front of the snake which, with out a moments hesitation, started gulping it down. Within a month. the snake will be as good as ever, the veterinary said.

 States As Result of Price Advance

New York, Mar. 29-For the first time in years western silver smelters report sufficient work in prospect to justify continued oper- ations for an indefinite period, ac- cording to & comment on western business by the Bank of Ameri- ca, Pacific coast branch banking organization.
 The apparent improvement in the silver mining industry which has resulted in the reopening of extensive operations in Colorado, Texas and Nevada in recent months in said to demonstrate, for the first time, the effect of the presidential proclamation of December 21, last, when the price of newly-mined metal was raised to 64.5 cents all ounce. West coast smelters say that shipment of silver-bearing ores have increased materially and it is anticipated that the dom- estic output of the refined metal during 1894 will establish a high mark for at least half decade.
 Government figures just com- piled show silver production of the eleven western states to have reached $7,854,S01 during 1893, or approximately 25 per cent above 1892. This increase rougly corre- sponded to the increase in the

|FOREWORD FROM BOOK WRITTEN
 BY ROOSEVELT
"If There Has Been Any Revolution It Was a
 Peaceful One"

New York, March 29-(UP)- If there has been a revolution since the new deal was inauguTated 1t has been strictly peaceful, Presi- dent Roosevelt says in the fore- word of his new book to be pub- lished soon.
 The chief executives own feel ings about the new deal took on especial interest in view of the charge of Dr William A. Wirt that a certain member of the brain trust regarded Mir Roosevelt as the "Kerensky" of communist revo- lution. The proofs of the foreword were made public to-day by the presidents publishers.
 Some people have called our new policy 'fascism,'" MT Roose- welt said. "It is not fascism be- cause it's inspiration springs from the mass of the people themselves rather than from a class or a group or a marching army. More over, 1t is being achieved without change in fundamental republi- can method. We have kept the faith with, and in, our traditional political institutions.
 Some people have called it communism it is not that either. It is not a driving regimentation founded upon the plans of a per- petuating directorate which subor- dinates the making of laws and the processes of the courts to the orders of the executive. Neither does it manifest itself in the total elimination of any class or in the abolition of private property.
 If 1t is revolution, 1t is a peaceful one, achieved without vii olence, without the overthrow of the purposes of established law and without the denial of just treatment to any individual or class"

 settlement of labor troubles in the shoe centers has improved the outlook, and production is being maintained at a high rate. The de- mand for leather is only moderate, and prices on ell grades are steady. Hides and skins are moving in moderate volume.

 "The total wages paid by Mass achusetts manufacturing estab- lishments during February showed an increase of about 10.7 per cent over January, while employment increased 6.5 per cent"
