to their victims, release their hold
and strike and inject their venom
with a sharp spur-like object on
the very end of the tail, she said.
Rat H.ad
. While the snake in the bottle OF
alcohol appears to be- about a foot
and a half long with mottled black
and white skin. it was green and
yellow when alive, Mrs. Mcbride
said. These are the same markings
a hoop snake is supposed to have,
she added.
. Furthermore, she pointed out the
snake has a head like a rat and
a sharp bony spur on the end OF
its tail.
The eyes are oval shaped unlike
many other species Of snakes The
markings on the body cease about
one and a half inches from the end
of the tail. For that length the spur
extends. It is hard, like a bone,
and is white, without any mark
ings.
But whether the snake used the
spur to strike in its attacks there
is no actual proof. Nor did anyone
zee the snake put its tail in its
mouth and roll along the ground
like a hoop.
Mrs. Mcbride, however, knows
that hoop snakes do roll along the
ground after their quarry when
they are angry.
One of her relatives witnessed
that extraordinary feat and told
her about it, she said.
Snake Chases Man
Her kinsman, she said, told OF
seeing a man he was working with
hove into view with a hoop snake
rolling along in hot pursuit.
The man, the relative was tell.
ing about, escaped only by lodging
behind a tree
The snake, travelling full tilt,
was unable to swerve as quickly
and the tree received the full dose
of the venom in its tail.
And the result was characteristic
OF all the stories told about the
hoop snake.
1.-The tree died." Mrs. Mcbride
said.

DISAGREE
ON CIVIL SERVICE

CHICAGO - W.D The five big
veterans organizations disagree
sharply on preference for veter'
ans in civil service.
Under the law, all veterans who
apply for federal civil service Jobs
automatically get five points add
ed to their qualification score,
Veterans with disabilities get a 10;
point bonus.
Disabled veterans also are
placed at the top Of the eligible
list from which job selections are
made.
One of the five organizations.
the Americans Veterans. Commit
te has voiced Elat opposition te
"super-preference" in placing dis
abled veterans ahead Of anyone
else.
Two other organizations, the
American Veterans Of World Wa
II, and Veterans of Foreign Wars,
favor modification of the law.
They believe a veteran should be
required to earn at least a pass
ing grade on an examination be-
fore becoming eligible for any
point preference.
The American Legion AND the
Disabled American Veterans favor
keeping the law the way it is.
The VIEW asked that disability
preference points be given only tt
veterans who have a disability
rating of at least 10 per cent. A
present, a veteran who is listed as
only one per cent disabled gets
the same consideration as one
who is permanently and seriously
handicapped.
AMVETS proposed that three
separate lists be set up from
which civil service workers woulc
be picked. The first list would be
made up of disabled veterans. the
second of non = disabled veteran,
and the third Of non-veterans. I'm
der the proposal each list woulc
be used up before dropping dow
to the next.
AVG asked that the position o,
veterans with permanent civil
service status be strengthened il
cases o. suspension or discharge
by requiring administrative Off
GERS Of federal agencies to accep
recommendations Of the Civil
Service Commission.
