Williams, presi dent of th# ReptUe Society of Amei^ ica, at New York. ^ The society, of which Mr. ' Wiiiiftms Is the head, middle and end, has un dertaken a campaign of education on behalf of the snake, claiming that as'a destroyer of rodents and other small pests on the farm he is .the^iehd and benefactor of man. For the poison- bearing snakes Mr. WiiliSms holds no brief and concedes the necessity for their obliteration from the earth; but of the nonpoisoDous ones he had this to say at tlie banquejt while yon could have heard a pin drop: "To the lay mind, the idea of the black or the garter or any one of u thousand vaHeties of harmless snakes b^ng of any service to ma!|ikind may apjpear preposterous and unworthy of , discussion. But the facts are other wise. The snake has a very impor tant bearing on the question of food production, a matter which, oven since the signing of the armistice, grows more important' daily. The snake is the great small-pest destroyer of the American farm. Every person who kills a nonpolsonous snake might jnst as well destroy one hundred times the snake’s weight , in wheat.’* ’ Mr. Williams proposes that the value of the snake be taught hereafter In the farm schools and agricultural colleges and Rays he intends to becoine the edi tor of a publication devoted to suake conservation and culture. Ue advo cated tlie introduction of a small snake or two Into every household in the land, saying that the snake, contrary to popular belief, made an ideal house hold pet, and in the course of every year represented many times over a saving^of his weight in mousetraps. BETTER THAN ELECTRIC FAN Punkah System Said to Have Advan tages Npt Possessed by Its More Modern Competitor. - - ■• « Electric current for fans is not gen erally available in Aden. Araf)ili;.’'ahd the old-fashioned punkah s^Wt^m tlie only relief froni bearablo heat and clo^eQ^'^^^^hfi^C mosphere which prevails at certain seasons of the year. A punkah is a large celling fan operated by a coolie, who pulls a rope attached to it. This rope generally passes over a small pul ley through a hole in the wall, so that the coolie may work unseen by those In the room to b» ventilated. Often a series of fans is operated by one coolie, this system prevailing in hotels, clubs and other places where tiiere is a large space to be cooled. The actual cooling effect is usually considered more satisfactory than that of an electrically operated fan 4n the respect that the air currents are more gentle and much more evenly distrib uted. A punkah walla, as the coolie who operates It Is called, receives In Aden an average wage of $3.50 a month for working from eight to nine hours a day. However, during the hot .season, when it Is desirable to have the pun kah in operation night and day, a force of three punkah wallas, working eight hours each, is necessary. President Wilson, burdened as he Is, found time to cable his endorsement of the Salva tion Aniiy Home Service Fund Campaign, which ^111 be con ducted during the wiek of i\lay 19-26.

I feel that the Salva* tloA Army needs no eommen- datlon fror.i me.

The first wdiniui physician in the United States was Dr. Elizabeth BlaAwell, who received the degree of M. D. at Geneva, N. Y., 70 years ago. Miss Blackwell was a native of Bristol, England, but came to the United States in her youth. When she was 21 she determined to become a physician, but her application for admission was refused by nearly all of the leading medical colleges of the United States and Canada. A little medical college In Geneva, how ever, accept^ her, and she became one of the most brilliaht students of the institution. She suffered, how ever, from social ostracism In the town, as the Geneva hostesses regard ed her either as Insane or wicked. Miss Blackwell, after . finishing her course, attended medical colleges In Europe and practiced in several con tinental hospitals. She then returned to-New York, where she opened an infirmary for women and children and organized a woman’s medical college. Cards In War Service. Having helped many a soldier through weary hours in trench and hospital, playing cards are now bning pressed into active war service, says the London Chronicle. You may have noticed the new and neat little clofh badges on the sleeve of our men ^m the front, but possibly have failed to understand the designs. They are nothing but the familiar club, spade, heart and diamond tof the playing card. ^Under the new scheme regimei^ are divided Into packs, each company hay ing Its own symbol in a certain^ color to serve as an identification mark, all other badges being removed before go» ing over the top.

Disappointed, loyeleis girls who do not forget kindnesses i^Own them in their hour of greatest need give out of love to help otheir girts receive the same friendliness. In a simple, quiet way, this unique Idea^ ha^ been maintained for over 20 years. In every l^rge city in tiie country there are girls who have needed ,tl^ ministrations of the Salvation Army. After they have been helped and sent on their way again they become life members of this club if they so desire. Only girls are admitted who have given a good a)ccount of themselves for at least one month In the positions found fmr them by the Salvation Army after their release from a hospital or home. These girls pledge themselves to keep alive the spirit of friendliness and home which the Salvation Army has spread among them. The girls a^ expected to driess in a plain, simple way, and avoid in any sense of the word gaudy or tawdry clothing. Gossiping or tale bearing Is tabooed, [f members of the club transgress tliis rule they are liable to suspension for a month or longer.
