cred to be harmful, or are they ben
efic1al in any way to man?-L. S. S.
A. Psychologists agree that al
though poisonous snakes are to be
feared, snakes on the whole do more
good than damage by eating harm
full rodents, insects and the like.
@. In England, must all plays be
censored before they may be pro-
duced?-J. w. B.

apparently was waiting where he

was in the negative, because I felt
that DR.. Steelman had no right to

ing to my office Mr.. Lewis and Dr.
Steelman had had a council Of war.
Mr.. Lewis and his associates were
in my office that Sunday for three
hours. He undertook to return to
New York at once to confer with
his policy committee" President
Roosevelt was going on the air at
10 o'clock pm. to talk about the
coal strike, and I had been urging
Mr.. Lewis to order his men back to
work before the President spoke
Although this schedule was carried
out it was only by a matter of
minutes. Mr.. Lewis was late in
getting back to New York because
of a further conference between
him and DR.. Steelman after Mr.
Lewis had left my office.

a strike but this does not excuse
the manner in which DR.. Steelman
and Mr.. Snyder handled this
emergency. The resulting hysteria
accompanied by a demand for punt
tive and undemocratic legislation
was not edifying.
When Miss Frances Perkins was
Secretary of Labor she was hound
ed and harassed with sadistic de-
light. There was constant demand
that President Roosevelt replace her
by a strong herman" Well, we

the bone writing his full moniker-
"Bogo" said that a man should live
to the age of $50 if he took ACS in
the proper doses.
ACS Is a serum that "Bogo" has
worked out. 1t has been criticized
quite bit, "Bogo" explained, but
only because it had been admin
istered incorrectly. He intimatec
that the men of medicine have beer
having patients swig it at 9, and
3, instead of at 10, 2 and 4, or tax
ing it during pause when they
didn't need refreshing.
Why Live So Long?
I was sorry to hear, and I am
sure that all right-thinking people
feel the same way I do, that there
is connection capable of extending
the span of life to $50 years. Who
pray tell me, wants to live $50 years
One has only to study the past, ex-
perience the present and guess at
the future to shudder at the very
thought.
How different If "Bogo" had come
up with a biological cocktail which
would guarantee every man de-
parture from this sphere when he
is II, say, and dancing with his
very best sweetheart, or at 8 when
his eyes still shone with delight
over the sight of his first bicycle,
or "a even, when he and his bride
had yet to learn that closet space
is the most important thing to look
for in an apartment.
That would be a delight, indeed
But $50 years, never, and twice
never!
Let's take a look at what such q
span would cost a man.
Would Face Four Wars:
In the first place, he would have
to figure on fighting in four or five
wars, instead of two. One war /.
rough enough for the average man
and two is gracious plenty. Foul
or five would just naturally veal
him out. There are just so many
column rights, column lefts, detail
halts and dawn attacks in a man
The fourth war would find him ir
the guardhouse, too weary and toe
fed up to come to attention.
How could a man ever pay life
insurance for $50 years? Answer
me that? It's bad enough to have
to get that premium together, month
after month, for 40 or so years.
Who wants to go to a dentist fol-
$50 years. and have that cussed
drill hopping from molar to bicus-
pid? And who wants to turn 100
with another so years of aching
back, creaking knee joints, visits
to the doctor, and no corn on the
cob staring him in the face?
Work Would Pile Up.
Who wants to work $50 years?
Work is noble, and all that, but 15C
years is OVERRIDING it trifle. Think
of all the anniversaries man would
forget in that length of time-with
the attendant bawling out that goes
with lapses of memory. Think oil
all the horrible double features he
would have to sit through, all the
extra miles he would have to walk
all the extra hours he would have tc
spend in a crowded bus, all the
relatives names he would have tc
remember, all the chewing gum he
would have to step on, all the bores
he would have to meet and be nice
to-, and-well, the list is limitless.
No, threescore and 10 is plenty!
So, "Bogo," save your stuff for the
Russians. Let them drink it by
the tumblerful If they wish. Let it
replace vodka as the national
nourishment. But don't let it come
to America!

Utilization and distribution OF
New Mexico piped fuel.

Members of the Coolidge Rotary
Club learned about the utilization
and distribution of gas at their

Larry Bell. engineer for the gas

the gas Is piped direct 10 the con
sumer II II H. what Is known as
sweet gas. Sometimes "sour gas"
the type in which sulphurous
fumes or other impurities are
found. must be treated before IL Is
ro ady for consumption while theh
condensate wells provide gas which
must be run through a condensation
before IL can be used.
Generally speaking natural gas
has a higher heat that manufactur-
ed gas. Bell told his listeners. and
in view OF the fact that II Is gener-
ally cheaper. IL makes the ideal
fuel for home consumption. Bell
said
In answer TO a question from
the floor. Bell explained that natur-
al gas was not exploited TO its
fullest use In this area before
1886 because the full potentialities
Of the gas supply were not known.
Now II has been established that
an estimated reserve OF 33 years

tablish the expensive pipe lines

fields.
