Since the earliest days artists have
seen differently, and no two portrait
painters or sculptors have interpreted
their sitters alike. But even so, those
whose works have endured have not
only seen beneath the surface, but
have manifested the spirit in no uncer-

THE EMPIRE OF THE SNAKES. BY
F. G. Carnochan and Hans Chris
tian Adamson. New York: Fred
erick A. Stokes Co.
CARNOCHAN was sad one evening
~ because he had a feeling that Kali
ola. Emperor of the Wakaioka, the
Snake People of Tanganyika, was
dead He told the friends with whom
he was having dinner of his expert
ences as the only white man who had
ever explored Kalola's empire and they
persuaded him to write this book.
Deep in the African bush he had wit
messed weird rites and even more
wierd medicinal treatments and
learned some of the secrets jealousy
guarded by the Snake People. The
Empire of the Snakes is founded on
secrecy and its subjects form a super
stitious brotherhood of millions OF
black men who practice ancestor wor-
ship. The scene of both Aovernment
and worship is the jungle. by some
creeping river and the symbol of both
is the serpent. The emperor is su-
preme in authority and he alone has
the right to prepare and dispense
medicine from the terrible kingo root
which turns those upon whom it Is
used into living-dead. The emperor
also knows the antidote for the most
venomous snake bites and the secrets
of other malevolent or benevolent
drugs. The Empire Of the Snakes is
real. Mr.. Carnochan is back there
now, for the purpose of learning more
about its medicinal herbs and to bring
back specimens which he hopes will bt
of value against disease and death
They may, of course, turn out, like
poison gas and machine guns, to be
only another instrument of death to
humanity. Mr.. Adamson. who col
laborates with Mr.. Carnochan, is as
sistant to the president of the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History.

CLAUDIUS THE GOD. BY Robert
Graves. New York: Harrison
Smith and Robert Haas.

MR.. GRAVES earlier novel, II
Claudius," left the spectacular
Roman Emperor in midcareer. He
now finishes his story with, of course,
all the license permitted the historical
novelist, and includes his able if not
charming or safe consort, Messalina.
Claudius was acclaimed Emperor in
AID. Al, at the assassination of his
mad nephew Caligula. Claudius was
many degrees better than the aver
age Roman Emperor. He was a lib
eral and something Of scholar, and
was so reluctant to leave the peace
Of private life that he at first refused
to rule. When he was forced by the
Senate and the army to accept the
imperial scepter, he did all he could
to reconcile his liberal principles with
practical politics. which has been a
hopeless task throughout all history.
Mr.. Graves combines in his story the
important public events Of the reign
of Claudius and the tragedy of his
personal life. The fascinating but
treacherous and unscrupulous Messa-
lima has an important place in the
story. Not only did she betray
Claudius by outrageous adulteries, but

San Antonio. % we learn from IN Associated
Press dispatch, Is to begin a national advertising
campaign, with the theme song Of san Antonio. the
Gateway to Mexico.
It's all right, we guess, and certainly San Antonio
70 smart, very smart, is thus advertising itself. and
probably there Is enough truth in the theme song to
justify the campaign and its slogan.
Not to chide San Antonio do we call attention to
the San Antonio campaign, quite the contrary
compliments are in order.
But we cannot help but think Of the opportunity
being missed by Brownsville. the Valley. Matamoros

Serving the Consumer

For many years, the chief criticism Of the Bureau
OF Standards. that great federal testing laboratory
on the outskirts Of Washington, has been that II
served business directly, and the people only in
directly. That is the results Of its tests and expert
ments were usually made available TO manufactur
ing companies, with benefits 10 the people only
filtering down in the form OF improved products.
Perhaps all the recent consumer agitation has had
an effect after all. For as q result Of years Of ex-
periments on silk stockings, the bureau has learned
q great deal about them, and offers the information
directly to consumers IN q pamphlet which may be

The Rio Grande Delta

Several years ago The Brownsville Herald turned
practically the entire Valley on its ear by advocating
half In earnest. half in jest, that the name Of this
section be changed to the Rio Grande Delta. The
argument advanced then was along the lines Of
truth in advertising. The Valley really LIS q Delta,
and why not proclaim II as such. was the theme Of
the argument.
Today we have stiil another good reason for calling
this section what 1t really Is. a Delta.
The Rio Grande Valley is some 1000 miles long,
stretching from Fl Paso nearly TO Brownsville. And
can the press of the nation be blamed when 1t refers
20 del Rio. in the Upper Rio Grande Valley? And
can its readers be blamed when they assume that
the Upper Rio Grande Valley" 70 which reference 10
made is a part Of what we call the "valey"7
And still more lately we find a national advertiser
referring to the hot. desert winds that sweep the Rio
Grande country-a libel ON the Rio Grande Valley as
we call 1t IL there ever was one. but still true as true
can be Of the Rio Grande Valley Of Fl Paso.
Better make It the Rio Grande Delta. there is
bat one Delta OF the Rio Gande. and we are 1t.

The liver rs one OF the largest organs tn your body.
Furthermore. you have seven times as much liver
tissue as you actually require, and that's o. greatest
Importance. because the liver u frequently damaged
by poisons OF various kinds.
The liver "a supposed to be responsible to some ex-
tent for secretion and execretion Of bile. for taking
part In destruction Of WORKOUT blood cells, for de-
veloping substances which are concerned In coagu-
lation Of blood. for storing Of fat which 1t gets from
food and releases as required by the body, and for
aid In digestion Of some protein substances.
II also acts as q chemical factory in changing
sugars into q substance called slycogen. which Is
used up In the muscles, and also for converting gEy-
cogen into glucose as required by the body.
The liver also acts to break down poisons coming
from the stomach and i~ntestines. as well az other
parts Of the body, and helps to remove various fore
ign substances from the blood. Finally. it Is believed
to have a part In regulating concentration Of the
fluid material in the blood and in regulating heat Of
the body.
Thus the liver IA, Ia every sense OF the word. the
chemical factory and storehouse OF the human body,
and 1t rs attracting increasing attention from ply
sicians because 1t is involved In so many human dis
orders.
Among recent advances have been DEVELOPMENT
Of means for looking at the liver. using the injection
OF d substance called thorium dioxide. followed BY
an A-ray picture. FUNCTIONS OF the Rallbladder may
be studied by passing q tube down into the intes-
tines and thereby securing some Of the secretion OF
the galbladder for direct study.
It Ia possible, by examining blood and urine. 10 de-
termine from the substances that are present the ex-
tent to which the liver Is carrying on its functions In
relationship to the bile.
Work Of the liver In taking care Of damaged red
blood cells is measured by studies Of the blood d.
rectly. Ability Of the liver to handle fats and sugars
may also be determined by chemical tests Of the blood
after standardized amounts Of these substances have
been put into the body.
II is also possible to give drugs Of various kinds,
which are now known to be broken down In the liver
and thereafter TO test the bile. the blood, and the
urine for presence Of these drugs.
All these tests are technical, time-consuming. and
sometimes expensive. but they give the physician
definite information about conditions concerning
which he might otherwise merely have TO guess.
The tests are being studied In large numbers OF
cases and after suitable standards have been devel-
oped they are likely to come into much wider use
than at present.
