White RAT Disposes
OF Two RattIesnakes

PROVO, Utah GN.S).-South.
ern Utah may soon be as free of
reptiles as St. Patrick made Ire
land.
It all depends on the outcome
of experiments being conducted
by DR.. Eldon Beck at st. George.
One of his white rats, known
as Pete, has attracted widespread
attention by his fighting prowess.
In short order, Pete disposed
of two rattlesnakes, a red racer
snake, blow snake, king snake
and five lizards. two of which
were giant chucwallas. He is ap.
parently immune to poison venom
or injury and is ferocious
battler.
DR.. Beck is waiting to see if
any of his progeny have the same

100000 Bank Credit
Mistake, Dream Of
Big Fortune Fades
Thinks 1t Necessary

MARTINSBURG, w. Va. Dec,
2.-Miss Elizabeth Miller, of this
county, now a nurse in a New
York city hospital, can tell her
friends how she had a fortune
for a few hours and how it was
wiped out like a flaSh-and with
her own consent.
She made small deposit sew
eral days ago with her New York
bank, leaving the bank book to
be mailed her. Several days later
she was called by telephone py
the bank, and asked if she had
examined her bank book. She
had not. She was nervously asked
if she would. Examining the bank
book, she found that after her
very modest account, in the small
hundreds, was another entry,
deposited, $90,0O0.00."
Visions of a bequeSt. from an
unknown benefactor floated mo,
mentarily in her mind.
Alphabetically, the bank said
the big deposit was a mistake; it
should be in another Elizabeth
Miller's account. Would Miss Mil
Ter consent to rectifying the er-
ror? o, thank you, thank you!
And so faded the dream of
riches. The bank told her frankly
that they had no recourse, if she
did not consent to changing the
pass book.

HIGHWAY DEBT
PUTS REPAIRS
. UP TO COUNTY

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. q.
Montgomery county officials to-
day were faced with the alterna-
tive Of negotiating an additional
bond sale to raise funds to pay
off nearly one-quarter of a million
dollars indebtedness to the Mary
land State Roads Commission or
of maintaining all secondary roads
in the county themselves.
One course or the other was
put up to the county commission
ers when DR.. Homer E. Tabler,
chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, notified them that main
tenance of all secondary roads
and payment of highway debt
service for the county had been
discontinued until the county
wipes out the existing deficit in
its account with the commission.
Mr.. Tabler said in his letter
to the county board that his
organization had no other alterna-
tive, as legal proceedings to pro-
hibit the State roads body from
any further extension of mainten-
ance or debt service funds to
counties whose accounts show
overdrafts have been threatened
by another county whose account
is in a satisfactory condition.
Montgomery county, which Is
in debt to the State to the ex-
tent of $245,757.66 for road work
and debt service, is only one of
six counties affected by this
order, DR.. Tabler said.
County Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan, declared today that
since the county Commissioners
had made no provisions in this
years budget for road mainte-
nance, believing this work would
be continued by the State as in
former years, he could see moth
ing else to do but raise funds
through q bond sale either to
maintain the roads in a paSsable
condition themselves, or ensure
the work being done by the State
by payment of their debt to the
State roads body.
The matter will be taken up
at a meeting Of the Commission
ers here tomorrow, Ira C. Whit
acre, clerk to the board said to-
day, and on them will rest the
responsibility of rendering a de-
