Statisticians calculating the progress of recovery in general 'found that in most respects 1935 will be the best year since 1930. Most striking gains so far in 1935 over the previews year will be in the consumption goods and products. This is of restoration farm purchasing power, attributed largely to the as a result of higher prices and government bonuses and benefits.

ANKLETS 10Sf?15 London. In spite of the fact that the majority of snakes are quite harmless, A the popular prejudice against them is Insurmountable, writes E. Cl. Bnulenger in the London Sunday Observer. Almost any absurd story about these reptiles is accepted at its face value and without the slightest attempt to ascertain the true facts of the case. ' AT THE Specially remarkable Is the current K belief that snakes hare the power to fascinate or exert hypnotic influence over thplr victims. It Is possible that the absence of eyelids and consequent Inability to close the eyes may be partly responsible for this fetish; the creatures sinuous movements and habit of 5-- 10 probing the ground with Its forked tongue may perhaps further encourage the common superstition.

A white rat was offered as :: food to a long South African snake kept In the Natural History museum, 'but the reptile apparently not being hungry the rodent was left untouched for several months. With the approach of winter the snake retired Into a snng hole which It had excavated. This retreat apparently appealed so strongly to the rat that It ejected the unresisting tenant and promptly appropriated the coveted shelter. Snake Digs In Again. Once more the snake dug itself a burrow, and yet again was the rightful owner ejected. Peace finally reigned for a considerable period. With the approach of spring, however, the snake recovered both appetite and Initiative, with the result that the rat, e bully of the cage, was made to provide the suake with the first meal of the season.
