file Of Catholic priesthood, as well
as those high in ecclesiastical Of
flee, listened to the words of Pope
Plus XI as solemnly intoned by
his emiSsary.
Papal attention was centered on
the fight Of his church against
the organized elements which
would eradicate Christianity.
Christian teaching alone, the let
ter declared, can give full mean
ing and compelling motive to the
demand for human rights and
liberties; because it alone gives
worth to human personality.
MSGR. CORRIGAN SPEAKS
On commenting on the papal
letter, Monsignor Joseph M. Cor
rigan, rector of the university, OBJ
served:
mo one who adheres at all to
the principles of christianity can
hearken to the words we have
heard and remain entirely
unmoved.
IF his words are needed and
given effect, millions Of minds
will be entrenched in a high and
unassailable loyalty, millions Of
characters shaped moulded into
q patriotism of enduring rugged
ness and virtue. The Catholic
University Of America pledges
itself to this great task which
the Holy Father declares dear
to him."

Scientist Turns x-RaY
On Rembrandt Works
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. L.
Two Boston society girls and Har-
ward scientist are turning the x-ray
on works attributed to Rembrandt
to advance the scientists theory that
"just about one-half OF them are
open to argument as to their produc-
ton by the master himself"
In dimly lighted garret chamber
In Harvards Fogg Museum, Research
Fellow Alan Burroughs has the
Dutch titan on an artistic x-ray
table and declares investigation
will show that the entire scope OF
works credited to Repbrandt will
have to be re-catalogued."
Playing Watsons to Burroughs
Sherlock Holmes are Margaret Jack
son and Mary Bigelow, debutante
college graduates, who are doing his
torical research on suspects" be-
heved by the scientist to have
filched the masters touch well
enough to have their works hung in
art galleries as Rembrandts.
He does not believe Rembrandt's
pupils forged his name after copying
bis work, "but the fault lies with
Dutch contemporaries for deliberate
taxing and with critics who have at
tributed work to the master which I
believe he never did"
Mr.. Burroughs technique is to get
an x-ray print of suspected work,
since the x-ray reveals the length
of the artists brush strokes, their
direction, and even the strength of
the painters movement.
Thus" he said, IF the X-ray of
picture attributed to Rembrandt for
the period when he painted with
jabbing stroke shows smooth strok-
ing, it's safe to say that something
Is wrong"
Critics have credited Rembrandt
with anywhere from 595 to TIL paint
ings, he said, adding:
'They can't even agree on the
number"

Minimum Cost Of
5000 Is Proposed
By Sponsor of Plan

A proposal that the Board Of
Zoning Adjustment be empowered to
regulate types and values Of homes
was made at the Conduit Road
Citizens Association meeting last
night.
Ralph Slayer, In presenting the
proposal, contended that inexpensive
homes lower the value of property
Of neighbors and it was to the in
terest Of home owners that they
protect themselves by law from such
experiences.
He suggested a minimum cost Of
5000 for homes in the Conduit road
area, but said the restriction prob
ably would not fit other communi-
ties. G. P. Oakley, chairman OF the
associations Parks and Zoning
Committee was delegated to draw
up q suitable resolution to be pre-
sented to the Federation of Citizens
Association, the Zoning Board and
Congress-.
The group again protested a house
at the corner of Conduit road and
Reservoir road NV. as being q
menace to the community and re-
uuested its removal. Walter D.
Cunyas, president of the association,
reported the appointment OF
three-man committee by the Dis
trict to inspect the building. He
said the committee could require its
razing.
The Christmas eve party will be
given in the Palisades Park Field
House, 1t was decided. Mr.. Cunyas
appointed a committee of Charles
E. Rich, w. L. Perkins and Charles
Goude to arrange it.
In honor of William F. Dement,,
past president, and DR.. Llewellyn
Jordan, honorary member, both OF
whom died recently, the group stood

Zoo Profits From Clerks
Snake Expedition Dreams

Costello Craig's dreams were dreams
of snakes. Morning after morning he
aWoke in his home at Fourteenth and
Clifton streets NV. and went forth to
his job as clerk for an insurance
company, wishing all the while he
were deep in the jungle capturing the
reptiles that slither along on their
bellies.
Some dreams have way OF coming
true. Yesterday Mr. Craig. who is
only %, returned to Washington after
two months in the jungle OF Gaute-
mala. With him he brought back alive
40 snakes of various sorts, as we'll as
three coat mundi. several turtles and
two small crocodiles
Mr.. Craig left his bag at the Wash
lngton Zoo, which accepted the pres
ent, and this morning once more he is
filing away documents in following the
routine of his life as a clerk at the
Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Co.
Became Friend Of Snakes.
Mr.. Craig is sturdy, sun-burned,
baldish man of about middle height
He was reared in the mountainous
parts Of Virginia, and when he was
very young he developed a liking for
snakes. He cannot explain why Per-
haps it was Just proximity. The Vir-
ginia mountains abound with snakes.
When he moved to Washington. he
could not bear to be parted from
them, and for while, until his mother
objected he kept a copperhead and a
king snake in his Clifton street dig
gings.
The young Frank Buck" watched
modestly in the reptile house of the
Zoo yesterday afternoon while the pho
tographers flashed their light bulbs
and the keepers fished the snakes from
their boxes. Roy Jennier. the head
reptile man, gave first aid treatment
to boa constructor which had broken
tooth during its angry gnawing at
its box. The fat snake twisted during
the surgical ministrations, but the
keeper kept placidly at his work.
Take out the broken teeth and its
mouth heals quicker" Mr.. Jenier ex-
planned.
This same boa constructor was she'd
ding half way down its back.
Hit With Machete.
That's where native hit it with
a machete," Mr.. Craig said. HE was
cutting the underground and got the
snake. He didn't know it was there"
Besides the boas which kill by wrap
ping themselves tightly around their
prey and squeezing it, Mr.. Craig's gift
to the Zoo included spotted rat snakes.
vine snakes and a fer-de-lance, one of
the most poisonous reptiles in the
world
Wherever Mr.. Craig went in Guate-
mala he took with him anti-venom
serum to save himself in case he should
be bitten by a snake-although he
never was. He carried also a small
metal mirror, which he used fol
watching what was going on behinc
him. He was afraid a snake woulc
attack him from the rear.
Leaving New York City earlv in
June, Mr.. Craig proceeded aboard a
United Fruit boat toward Guatemala,
little Central American republic
fronting the Pacific Ocean, a land OF
high mountains, thick forests and
many Indians
With him the snake hunter took a
trunk full Of bright clothing, cheap
jewelry and gaudy playthings to gain
him the good will of the Indians,
through whom he obtained most of his
menagerie.

Does Exploring At Night.
Native guides helped him through
the jungles, which he explored usually
at night with the aid of a flash light.
Aside from the fact that he was in
strange territory, Mr.. Craig had no
exciting experiences.
The snakes were taken without mis-
hap. Even the dangerous fer-de- lance
came into Mr. Craig's possession with
ease 1t had been captured by natives,
who piled over it ground mound Of
logs. Mr.. Craig was afraid it was
dead. but it was only stunned. The

Mr.. Craig found in log into which
he reflected the sun with his mirror.
The boxes housing the animals were
lashed to the deck Of the fruit liner
for the trip to the United States. On
clear nights Mr.. Craig slept beside the
boxes to be sure no misfortune befell
his charges. The snakes and coat
mundi are on exhibition at the Zoo
