COP Policy, Coup

CHICAGO. April 81 (UP) - The
Republican party discarded its
traditional isolationist policy to-
day by pledging support for a
program of international coopera-
ton in the postwar world
The step was taken by the Re-
publican national committee in a
resolution, regarded as a statement
of party policy for the 1912 con-
gressional campaigns, which called
for all-out prosecution of the war.
Although the resolution was
termed a compromise between pre-
war Republican isolationists and
IEterVentioniStS, 1t was accepted
brilliantly by followers of Wendell
L. Willkie 1910 presidential nominee
and head of the interventioniSt
group.
In a statement telephoned from
New Cork Willkie expressed salts
faction with the resolution and said
it committed the party to IAN
abandonment of iSolationism.
TAFT DISAPPOINTED
Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio, who
had drafted another resolution
ignoring the question of postwar
policy, said he thought the inter-
nationalist PLANK Wa5 a great
mistake"
The resolution was drafted by q
subcommittee of seven appointed
b. Rep. Joseph w. Martin OF Mas
sachusetts, chairman of the ma
tional committee. 1t considered
four proposed resolutions prepared
by Willkie, Taft Sen. c. Wayland
Brooks of Illinois, an isolationiSt
before Pearl Haloor, and Alexander
Smith, acting committeeman from
New Jersey
RESPONSIBILITY
The committees resolution
was adopted unanimously. ON the
controversial issue of postwar pol
icy, it said:
we realize that after this war
the responsibility" of the nation will
not be circumscribed within the
territorial limits of the United
States: that our nation has an OBJ
legation to assist in the bringing
about of an understanding comfy

The word is French. and in that

means small; thin: slender" for
the word is derived from the Latin

1t is usually abundant. West OF the
Mississippi the typical form is re-
placed by a distinct color variety
the blue racer.
Black racers are oviparous-de-
posting from IL to "a eggs during
June and July. These are often
secreted under fat stones. on sunny
banks, or laid in soft. moist soil.
They are elongated and cylindrical
in shape, about Is inches long and
IL l6ths of an inch in diameter.
When first laid the egg is snow
white. its shell rough and leathery.
On close examination it appears to
have satiny smooth surface
sprinkled with coarse salt. This
character distinguishes the eggs Of
the black racer from those OF a great
majority Of snakes.
In about a month the eggs hatch.
The baby snake is about 8 inches
long and very slender. The young
OF this species are strikingly unlike
their parents. They are pale gray
above. with a series of large brown
blotches on the back and numerous
black spots on the sides. During
their second summer this pattern
becomes OBSCURE. In the third year
they resemble their parents, having
a uniform slate-black skin and a
milky white throat and chin. Their
eyes are large and beautiful.
Black racers become very tond
OF their captors and are intelligent
pets. They show no temper and are
eager to accept food from their
keepers. They are harmless and
though they Will put up a brave
fight if cornered they are as group
interesting reptiles.
These snakes usually select rather
dry and open situations. being rather
partial to the edges OF meadows
which are fringed along their bor-
ders with bushes or brush. This
affords a quick hiding place which
the racer may reach with lightning
like speed. Few reptiles can travel
so swiftly as the racer-hence the
name.

Uncle Ruy's Corner
By RAMON COLEMAN.

The London Zoo has rare animal
named Buta. He is an okapl. ano
recently the London papers pub
lished a story about him-for the
reason that he became frightened!
Buta came from the Belgian Con-
go five years ago. He was a gift
from the King of Belgium.
At first Buta was afraid of al
most every one and everything. We
are told that even his own shadow
made him so nervous that he would
turn and run back into his shed
when he saw it!
Slowly the okapi got over most
of his attacks of nerves" For a
long time he has been willing to stay
in MS yard with his shadow next
10 him. and with shouting, laughing
boys and girls watching him from
outside the fence.
Yet Buta showed that all fear had
not left him when camel named
Sadie took a look at him from her
xt-door pen. The head Of Sadie,
appearing over a brick wall, gave
him what is described as "a bad
scare" So the keepers OF the ZOO
now keep Sadie indoors when Buta
is outdoors.
Okapis. in general are shy. That
helps explain why travellers in Africa
seldom see them.
So far as our records tell us. the
first white men to see an okapi were
memters of an exploring party
which went into the heart of Africa
IN 1899. While passing through a

This reptile is one of the sWlftest
travellers among the snake tribe and
his one consuming desire is to get
out of your reach. Another story is
to the effect that the racer watches
for an opportunity to tackle the
rattlesnake. AS a matter of fact, the
racer would be the first to make
tracks for the underbrush or even
climb a tree rather than have any
combat with the rattler. The racer
does creep up on smaller snakes, but
wisely avoids the more robust ones.
Still another fabrication is that he
has hypnotic powers which are used
for charming mice and small birds
to his waiting jaws.
The racer is very fond of small
birds and their eggs. He will climb
a tree to reach the young birds If
he must, and he also knows where to
find the small mice in his neighbor-
hood. He is not a constructor. as
also has been reported, but swallows
the quarry while it is struggling. II
the victim is too vigorous the snake
presses it firmly to the ground under
a part of the body.
The black racer is found in East
ern North America from Southern
Canada southwark through Florida
and westward to the prairie regions

little people who had lived in the
Old Orchard for so long didn't know
just what to make of him. If he
happened to meet one of them he
just hustled right past as If he
didn't see them at all He didn't
so much as nod his head in greeting.
OF course, this was no way to make
friends. No one else who had come
to the Old Orchard had acted that
way. 1t was very clear to every one
that he didn't care whether he made
friends with them or not. He acted
as If he thought that the Old
