Twas This My
Age of Rattlesnakes
by IyIE SPENCER
g Western Newspaper Union.


HOW can you tell the age of a
- rattlesnake? Most people
would say by counting the number
OF rattles on his tail. Scientists as
sert, however, that this is a very
poor method because the snakes
add a new rattle every time they
shed their skins, which occurs
from two to seven times a year.
Many are the superstitions
which have grown up about the Gus
toms OF poisonous snakes, especially
rattlers. Many cowboys say, for
instance, that a rattler will never
crawl over a lariat or rough hair
rope. For this reason many sleep
out IN the open with their lassoes
carefully circled around their blank
cts. But rattler will actually cross
such a rope as often as any other
kind of snake.
announcer superstition which errs on
the side of safety is that a rattler
Is capable of biting clear through
the toughest shoe feathers. But ex-
perlments have shown that while
a snakes fangs are very sharp.
their penetrating power is small.
inns Is because a snake usually
strikes with its mouth open to near
ly a lo0 degree angle, and thus has
very little leverage. The leather of
any ordinary boot is sufficient to
protect its wearer.
Finally, there is a widespread
mistaken notion about the distance
a snake can strike. Even from
coiled position, snakes cannot strike
farther than distance of half their
length. Thus six-foot snake could
not bite person more than three
feet away. And since they must
strike at an angle, a person is rare
iy bitten above the calf of the leg.

U. 5. Output Of Steel
Expecfed 10 Double
1941 Axis Production
Peak of 81, 900, 900
Tons, Several Million
Under Capacity, Seen
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

With l94l production of steel eX-
$4,000 900 tons, the United States
output of this basic var material
this year should more than double
that of Germany and the area con-
quered by the Nazis, according to
estimates of Federal experts.
Steel plants under AXIS control
are believed to have an annual
capacity of between 400O0.00O and
100000 tons. Whether production
is actually approaching this capa-
city will depend on several factors.
Among these are the availability OF
raw materials, such as iron ore al
loys and iron ore, and the ability of
the Nazis to put into full operation
the production facilities in France,
Belgium and other conquered terri
tories.
Substantial reduction in output is
expected if the strike in captive coal
mines is prolonged.
Russia Third in Production.
Soviet Russia ranks third in steel
capacity, with facilities for the pro-
duction annually of between 20
100000 and 2l,OOO,OOO tons. In re-
cent years, Russia has greatly in
creased its productive capacity.
Many of its steel plants are located
in the Ural Mountains regions. and
further to the east, far beyond
present effective range of Hitler's
bomberS.
Though the Nazis already have oc-
cupied some centers of Soviet in
dustrial production, it is not believed
that their conquestS will result i'm
mediately in any large additions to
Axis steel capacity.
Great Britain's steel capacity is
estimated at 5000 900 to 1000 900
