ALGN3 Pituophis Sayi Bellona Obligingly Drapes Himself About the Shoulders of Mrs. Williams, Wife of the Director, for the Benefit of the Photographers Society Is Trying to Prevent the Slaughter of Harmless and Beneficial Snakes.

More motorists pulled up and Two small hoys stared, goggle-eye(join,- fishing turned and their jaws dropped as they gazed. A huge snnke, yellow and white and bronze, seven feet long and three Inches thick, was festooned in somewhat torpid folds about the shoulders of a young woman, who was facing a battery of photographers. With them were several members of what might be termed, for the moment, the reptile press, besides i dozen others. It was the annual spring hunt of It was a the Reptile Study club. rainy day, and atiy native Jersey snakes had sense enough to keep to their holes. The only reptiles original o the locality which the member, had been able to find In the wet thickets along the road were a few tiny black ind red striped salamanders, dragged squirming and Indignant from the shelter of rocks overturned by the searchers. Mr. Williams' Little Pet. But the director of the society, Allen S. Williams, who has held these lunts for the past five years to bring 'efore the public the aim of the to protect and prevent unreasoning slaughter of harmless and l ene flcial snakes, did not want the re art r and photographers disappointed So he brought along, snugly In cotton ags and packed in a suitcase, tour nakes from his private stock. Two of the four were serpents such is might be found In New Jersey, and might have been seen on this day hut for the bad weather. They were the snake or puff adder, known in occlusive snake circles as he'erodon platyrhinus, and the mountain black make, otherwise coluber ohsoletus. They were comparatively small and, to give the reporters an Idea of what the reptile tribe can do when en couraged. Mr. Wllllam9 brought along the big fellow, a bull snake, from the neighborhood of Brownsville, Tex., which carries the form'-- ' hie title of he slightly pltuophls sayl bellona. : smaller king snake, hi.--u from the southwest, which, though he would no doubt be surprised- - to learn of It Is scientifically classified as orphlbulus getulus. These two were large and Imposing The reporters, hardened to strange assignments, gasped a little and stood at first somewhat offishly In the offing when Mr. Williams took old Mr. Pltuophls out of his hag. But after he posed about the shoulders of Mrs Williams, who Is a writer herself undei the name of Elizabeth Remington, and behaved very nicely for the photographers, they consented to festoon his snakeshlp about their slightly shrinking forms and were snapped for the news pictures. Making Snakes Mors Homelike. The two boy fishermen stood on the outside of the circle of spectators dur lug this scene. "What do you do whei, you see a ttnake?" asked one of the members, seeking to Impart a lessor In kindness to such creatures. "We kill 'em," said one boy. "Why?" "Cause they eat the Ash. Oh, yes they do. Why onct when I was up at Bear Mountain park I saw a water adder with a catfish as long as that In his mouth." "Wouldn't you like to hold this one and see how gentle he Is?" Inquired Mr. Williams, offering the huge hull snalre. "Gosh not" replied the boy, as he receded In the middle distance. "Thnt's the trouble with country peo ple," said Mr. Williams; "they are closer to things than city folks and yet they don't know so much shout creatures of the woods and fields, sometimes, as city people, with advantages of learning from museums and lectures do. There are only two dangerous snakes In this part of the and tha conntry, the rattlesnake copperhead, and they are no longpr found near the city."

Its commanding position geographically gives it unmatched facilities or distribution to a market with a population of 20,000,000 people. Nature has placed within the the state in an area g a radius of 100 miles unlimited deposits of the three essentials for ateelmaklng iron ore or rarest Qualtly, coking coal without and equal, and limestone quarries of vaat extent. Utah's finished iron and steel products are delivered to any point In Its market with n haul from 1000 to 2000 miles shorter than the haul from Eastern mills. The average freight rate advantage favoring the Utah mills Is $15 per ton. Advantageous freight rates protect the Utah mills against any possibility of successful competition. Contrast these controlling factors with those govern- ng the manfacture and marketing of Iron and steel In the East and Middle West. Utah's ore haul is a thousand miles shorter than the haul from the mines to Eastern mills. Utah's coal haul Is by far the shortest, compared with the average hauls to other steel manufacturing centers. A favorable labor market, ample water supply, an unexcelled climate, a limitless supply of iron ore, coal and coke and limestone all these mean a manufacturing cost as low or lower than obtains elsewhere. Under such fortunate circumstances, can anyon doubt that Utah Is destined to be the Steel State of the West? Now Is the time to grasp opportunity. Eight per cent cumulative perferred stock Is now offered to the public at $100 per share the first time In the history of steel In America that anyone outside the clrc'e of the favord few has been privileged to enter a steel corporation on equal terms with every other shareholder. hay-In- The terms of purchajia have tx-made so liberal that this opportunity knocks at the door of every home In Utah n To obtain detailed Information regarding this $33.35 Bolt Cooks Potatoes; Cook Unhurt Mrs. R.

It Is curious how the essence of Christianity gets itself recognized and practiced in spite of the world, the flesh and the devil.
