Forty Kinds of Snakes in District of Columbia
wASHINGTON.—-—A propaganda for the preservation of snakes may be one
of the reform movements of the future. There are certain signs in the
times today to support the suggestion that another generation may be
taught to understand that the nonven-
D 7™ omous snake is the friend and not the
e . Q‘fl~ enemy of mankind. One of the great

”,'-(Q'..;h-fi, ST ¥) he is an active and industrious de
[SyAV. N/ ReaP i D stroyer of rats and mice.
o N T In the District of Columbia and
‘L—’Q—Z D O C/’ffi those parts of Maryland and Virginia
.'}_ ¢ /k‘wm:’s adjacent to the District about forty
: : ~eo /.',.. species and subspecies of reptilia have
f )r« \"; p been observed. The copperhead is
N - N 4 the snake most thought of by Wash
ington trampers, campers and pic
nickers in the country along both sides of the upper Potomac. A good many
are killed every year, but mishaps because of them have been exceedingly
rare.
A not uncommon snake in the District and adjacent territory is the hog
nose snake, or spreading adder. He is also called the black adder and the
blowing viper. He is a “bad acting” snake, but perfectly harmless. If dis
turbed and cornered he will seek to terrify you by contortions and hissing,
but that is all.
The Allegheny black snake, a slender, quick and active fellow, who some
times grows to the length of eight feet, is a common snake around Wash
ington. Tle black snake, or the “blue racer,” is common in undergrowth
near streams and the edges of woods.
The fancy-marked house snake, milk snake and chicken snake are some
times seen; the brown snake is quite common, and so also are the chain
snake or king snake, the smooth green snake or the grass snake, the keeled
green snake, the short ground snake, the ring-neck snake, the riband snake,
the common garter snake, the short red-bellied snake and Valeria's snake,
which frequents thick woods.

Beautiful Statue, Mutilated in the Civii War
TALES of the destruction of many of the priceless statues of Europe during
the current war is recalling to a number of Washingtonians the fact that
in this city is to be found a statue which lived through centuries of cruder
civilization only to be partially dam
aged during the Civil war in this P%‘ Ty A B 3
country. That statue, nameless, and CRESE IR ™“f iy £ ; "

and scores who travel that way fre- 2 aillics )
quently stop to comment and wonder.
Even without its head and arms the statue presents a graceful appearance.
The statue was brought from Athens before the Civil war by Commo
dore Boyle es the United States navy, who presented it to his brother, Doctor
Boyle, who at that time kept a watering place at White Sulphur Springs. Vt.
Doctor Boyle placed the statue, still in its entirety, above the entrance to
his hotel.
During the Civil war Union soldiers were encamped in the vicinity of the
hotel. A number of them, in a spirit of mischief, pulled the work of art to
the ground by means of a rope. It was at this time the head and arms were
broken. Then the soldiers set up the statue and used it as a target.
Asked if he had ever thought of trying to restore the head and arms,
Mr. Flannery answered, “No, no. That would be cruel.”
So it is probable that the headless, armless and yet interesting piece of
work will remain without change, continuing to attract the attention and
curiosity of passers-by.

Alarm Clock of the Nation’s Chief Executive
THERE are four Patrick McKennas in the government service, and yet
there is only one Patrick E. McKenna—friends say the middle initial
stands for Efficlency. He is the omcia} remlnder of the president, and the

of those persons that are to see the president during the day and the time
allotted to each.
McKenna carries a split second watch that is as accurate as the naval
observatory scientists can make it. When the times comes for the president
to receive his first visitor McKenna announces the fact to the person at the
head of the waliting list. Then the president’s reminder ushers the caller
into the president’'s office.
When this task is completed McKenna returns to his desk with watch
in hand. Two seconds before the allotted time expires, McKenna gently opens
the door leading from the corridor to the president’s office, This is the sig
nal to the chief executive that his visitor's time i: up and that the next
caller on the list is waiting to see him.
This procedure is continued, in the same punctual manner, until all the
appointments are taken care of,

President Wilson May Have to Plant New Elm
THE gsuggestion is impressing itself that Mr. Wilson will have to try his
hand again at tree planting on the White House grounds if he is to be
represented in the pre_;identl.nl dendrology there. The elm he planted is
doing so poorly that its end seems
nigh and, of course, it will be replaced
and presumably under the auspices of
Mr. Wilson, spade in hand. The Wil
gon elm took the place of the elm
planted py President Hayes, which
was a magnificent tree shading the
easterly portion of the White House.
An inciplent tornado uprooted it,
and it left such a void that it was
determined to replace the tree by as
large an elm as could be conveniently
transplanted. This was done with
the help of President Wilson and considerable ceremony. The new tree
was shapely, suggesting that in time it would provide another perfect
elm for the White House grounds, and while it did well in the first year, this
summer it has presented a drooping appearance, withering in the top limbs.
Despite the best of care its future is not encouraging. It had been better
to have started with a vigorous sapling.
It is not often that the tree planters of the government in Washington
fare badly. They have made the city attractive by the shady streets they
have provided. Sick trees are not tolerated and the government has no
patience with trees that have no lasting life or that require an extraordinary
degree of care. The elm has proved such a care and it is being removed
from the streets of Washington proper whole streets at a time. The treat
ment seems ruthless; only in individual cases is the elm planted,
fact that he has held this responsible
position for an even dozen years is
proof enough that he is “on to his
job.”
The president has no need of a
watch when McKenna is on duty.
He knows by experience that his of
ficial reminder will see to it that no
caller will be permitted to overstay
his appointment.

Chief Clerk Brahany takes out his

A Short Review Of The More Important
Measures Introduced into The
State Legislature
More Power For Health Board—s3o,
000 For State Fair—To Limit :
Campaign Expenditures
Atlanta.—There is a strong probas
bility that Governor Harris will call
an extra session of the legislature to
consider legislation that the regular
session will be compelled to leave un
finished. It is generally conceded that:
either the temperance measureés or
the W. & A. legislation will not be
reached in the general session, and
that other important measures will be
carried over. No announcement of an
exira session has been made, and it
is possible that more progress will be
made in the few remaining days than
has been customary, which will do.
away with any necessity for the extra
session,
Hopkins Dencunces Charge As False
Atlanta.—The first S:uurday\sossion
of the house was enlivened by Repre
sentative H. W. Hopkins of Thomas
county, rising to a question of per
sonal privilege to reply to a statement
attributed to Senator Pickett. Mr.
Hopkins is a member of the special
committee appointed by Speaker Bur
well to investigate conditions at the
soldiers’ home. Senator Pickett, in
remarks made on the floor of the sen
ate, said that there were suspicions
that the investigation was to be a
“whitewash.” Mr. Hopkins denounced
this statement as absolutely false.
More Power For Health Board
Atlanta.—ln order to prevent the re
currence of such sanitary conditions
as have been revealed at the state pris
on farm, Dr. Ray Werner, speaking in
behalf of the state board of health,
urged the senate committee on hygi
ene and sanitation to recommend fa
vorably Senator Bonners bill, which
gives the board of health control over
all water sources and sewage dispos
al plants within the state boundaries.
The committee voted unanimously for'
the measure, as the committee has
done in the case of a companion bill.
“This is the most far-reaching legis
lation that could be passed,” stated
Doctor Werner, “for it affects the wa
ter supply of every person in Geor
gia. At present, the state board of
health cannot enforce any of it# opin
ions as to the condition of water,
even if that water has been contami
nated. ’
Suffrage Measure Urged
Atlanta.—The woman suffrage bill
was taken up by the house committee
on constitutional amendments and ad
dresses were heard from women both
for and against the measure.
Mrs. . S. Whiteside, who spoke for
the bill, was the first speaker. She
said she only wanted to plead for a
fair show for the women of Georgia.
“It depends on women for the pres
ervation of the human race,” she stat
ed. “Women have a right equally
with men in all things and should
work side by side with them not only
in domestic life, but in the political
life as well.”
$30,000 For State Farm
Atlanta.—An appropriation of $30,000
was voted by the house for improve
ments at the state farm at Milledge
ville.
The bill to make the appropriation
was the result of the recent agitation
about the conditions at the farm and
the investigations which were made.
The appropriation is to be divided
as follows:
For a new negro stockade, $10,000;
to enlarge the boys reformatory, $2,-
6500; for improving the sewerage sys
tem, $2,500; for adding to the water
supply by deep wells and to building
a sanitary disposal plant, $15,000.
To Limit Campaign Expenditures
Atlanta.—Candidates for state house
offices will be limited in the expendi
ture of campaign money if a bill ip
passed which was reported favorably
by the senate committee on general
judiciary. The bill was introduced by
Senator Boykin of the seventeenth,
A candidate for governor would be
allowed to spend not over $5,000,
Judges of the appellate and justices
of the supreme courts, railroad com
missioners, prison commissioners,
commissioner of commerce and labor,
the attorney general, the state treas
urer and the commissioner of agricul
ture will be limited to a campaign
fund of $2,000. A candidate for po
gition as judge of the superior court
or for the position of state solicitor
general will be allowed but SI,OOO,
To Divide Court Of Appeals
Atlanta.~~A measure has been In
troduced by Senator Lawrence to
create two divisions of the state court
of appeals. One division i 3 to handle
all of the eriminal business and the
other the civil business; the idea be.
ing that such a divigjon of the court
will enable them to handle matters
brought before them more rapidly,
and will lighten the work of the su
preme court, This bill has been char
acterized as “the most important bill
Jet recommended to the present leg
{slature.”

L STATE CAPITAL f
d \\\\\\\\VIIIIIII/@\\\\\‘
State Owes Prison Farm $1,000,000
Atlanta.—Unless the conclusion
re_ached at a conference of state offi
cials, including Governor Harris, At
‘torney General Walker, Speaker sur
‘well, Senator Walker and others, Is
wrong, the state of Georgia owes the
gtate prison farm approximately a
million dollars. A law passed by the
1908 legislawure provided that au fees
arising from the sale of near beer li
censes in the state should be paid
into the treasury and then credited
to the prison farm for its suppor. and
‘development. The next year an at
‘tempt was made to repeal .ais act.
‘The 1909 bill was passed, but provid
ed, it was said, that the funds aris
ing from the sale of these licenses
in 1909 only should go to the general
fund instead of the prison farm fund.
After 1909 this license money should
have again gone.to the farm, but it
has been put into the general fund in
stead and the general fund now owes
‘tl‘i'e state farm every dollar collected
for near beer licenses in the years of
1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1915.
This money, of course, has been used
for other purposes, and just what dis
‘position can be made of the matter
presents an interesting problem. It
fs"\ understood that Senator John D.
Walker started the investigation
whis has created the tangle.
To Systematize Records
Atlanta.—Senator Boykin has intro
duced a bill, the purpose of which is
to systematize the records kept by
the' various county officers. This bill,
if enacted as a law, would make the
attorney general ex-officio supervisor
of the county officers and county rec
ords, and provides for additional sal
ary and assistants for that office. In
speaking of the bill, Senator Boykin
says: “In some counties no filing dock
et.is maintained. In others the dock
et is kept, but no records to deeds
of mortgages are entered. In others
the clerks of the courts have indexed
deeds made by a sheriff in the name
of the sheriff only, but no records
of to whom the property is sold. This
is also true of administrators, execu
tors, guardians and others. Some
counties do not record decrees of the
superior court, with reference to ti
tles to land, the proceedings being
merely filed away in the office. In
other counties books kept by the va
rious officers are not consecutively
numbered, and it is always difficult,
and at times impossible, to locate the
proper record. Many counties keep
absolutely no index to mortgages, In
order to investigate a title it is nec
essary to turn dozens of books of hun
dreds gm each, page by page. to
find the desired information. This bill
provides that there will be a uniform
system of all records in the state and
makes the attorney general responsi
ble for the installation of such a sys
tem.”
“New Governor” Film Tabooed
Augusta—"“The Nigger,” or “The New
Governor,” will not be shown in Au
gusta. Because of the discussion of
the film a private exhibition was given
at a local theater viewed by about
150 picked ladies and gentlemen. The
manager of the house stated that he
would abide by the decision of the
audience as to whether or not the
play would be shown publicly. The
practically unanimous opinion of those
witnessing the exhibition was that it
is an insult to the south, representing
neither present nor past conditions
faithfully. At the same time the ex
cellent work of the actors and photog
rapher was commented upon, but the
theme is by no means worthy of the
work expended on the film. The Ro
tary club and the Woman’s club had
already protested against the play
Barrett Refused Phagan Reward
Atlanta.—That it is beyond the ju
risdietion of the city government to
offer rewards in murder cases--they
being state offenses—was the state
ment of Judge W. D. Ellis in a de
cision handed down in the case of
Robert. Barrett, who claimed the city
reward of SI,OOO offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderer
of Mary Phagan. Judge Ellis held
that rewards in murder cases should
be offered by the state, and not by the
city.
Barrett’s plea to the courts to pro
cure the reward, which had been de
nied him by the claims committee of
council on the ground that his testi
mony was not conclusive, was strongly
fouhgt by the city, when his attorney,
Lawton Nalley, carried it into the su
perior court.
Senate Begs Senate’s Pardon
Atlanta,—The upper house has pass
ed a resolution pardoning itself for
accusing itself of puspecting itself of
slealing three important prohibition
bills that disappeared from the capitol
recently. The regolution stating that
no member of the senate was to blame
was unanimously adopted.
School Book Law Expensive
Atlanta.—The Moon-McCrory school
book bill, if it becomes a law, will
prove very expensive to the cities and
towns which have recently changed
books. The extra expense in Atlant:
alone I 8 estimated at from $25,000 to
$50,000, and other towns will be affect
ed in proportion. ‘The bill provides
for the adoption throughout the state
of the books called tor in statg uni
form law.

The custom of changing the fur
nishings of rooms in summer to make
them appear comfortable and cool,
makes the house much more livable.
To put out of sight the heavy hang
ings and thick rugs and to substitute
thin, cool-looking hangings and sum
mer floor coverings requires so little
time and money that everyone may
indulge in the luxury of change. Be
sides, it adds to the life of winter fur
nishings to be put away during the
summer months and makes them wel
come when the calender rolls round to
winter again,
A room furnished for the summer is
shown in the picture given here. The
floor is bare except for three colonial
or “grandfather” rugs made exactly
like old-fashioned rag carpet. The
predominating color in these rugs is
the fashionable tooth-paste pink, and
this is varied by the introduction of
occasional “hit-and-miss” stripes of
gray, green, light blue and white.
Two small and one larger rug are
enough for a bedroom, even if it is
a little larger than the average size.
The bed is of brass and is dressed
in white. But those who are fortunate
enough to possess old-fashioned quilts
in which white predominates, with the
surface broken by light-colored fig
ures, may substitute them for all
white coverings with much satisfac
much sought after, Sometimes a quilt
of this kind is covered by a net or
openwork cover, but oftener it spreads
fts old-fashioned charm unveiled to
those who appreciate its quaint art.

Ribbons, that for so long a time
have been used for the feminine fin
ishing touches upon the garments
wherewithal the gentlewoman chooses
to more than clothe herself, have ex
tended their field of usefulness. It
is not 8o many years ago that they
became a part of all her lingerie,
strung through beadings and tied in
flowerlike bows. Now the smaller
garments are themselves made of rib
bons, and lace or other ribbons are
employed for thelr decoration,
Many of the wlde, soft weaves in
satin or taffeta stand washing very
well, but the luxurious small belong:
Ings made of ribbon in which splen
dorloving women Indulge themselves,
are not made for utility, They are
merely to be beautiful and appear for
a brief career, but a glorious one,
when speclal occaslons require special
finery,
A corset cover made of wide satin
messaline ribbon Is shown in the ple
ture. A pointed edging of val lace
is set on one edge of the ribbon and
pewed down along the edge of the
points. The ribbon I 8 eut away from
under the pointed scallops of lace. A
beading, edged with narrow val lace,
is set about the top of the garment
and forms a support over the arms.
Narrow ribbon run through the bead
ing Is tied In a bow at the front, ad-
Justing the bodice to the figure. Flat
bows over the shoulders are added
decorations,
A casing I 8 run along the under side
of the lower edge of the bodice, and
narrow ribbon, run in, confines the
walst to the figure,
At tho right of the picture a wide
girdle Is shown which when adjusted
Small pillows are covered with slips
trimmed with hand-knitted or cro
cheted lace, or machine-made lace
that resembles it. They stand primly
on end with the extra length of the
slip and its lace edge falling half way
down their length.
White scarves, with ends finished
in scallops and simple embroidered
sprays, calculated to stand frequent
tubbing, are the crisp coverings of the
dressing case and wash stand. The
simplest of curtains are made of a
good quality of serim in cream white,
and two sets for each window make
it possible to keep them immaculately
clean.
The walls in this room are Irench
gray with a small flower-stripe in pale
pink and a little green, and the man
tel (which is not visible in the pic
ture) is adorned with a pair of glass
candlesticks, furnished with white
candles and pink shades. They make
a pleasing setting for a few personal
photographs and one single small vase,
At the end of the mantel a little table
is handy for any use to which it may
be put.
Mere man not only likes to be com
fortable, but he likes things that look
comfortable, therefore the room is fin
nished with a very capacious rocking
chair for himself and two straight
chairs for conveniemge, . . ...
Long Ribbon Bows.
Long ribbon bows from throat to
hem are often worn on dresses with
wide skirts,
appears to be wrapped about the fig
ure in oriental fashion. It is sup
ported at the sides and back by stays
and decorated with ribbon roses. It
makes a lovely finish for the hand
some sheer, lingerie dresses which
are worn all the year round.
A pair of boudoir slippers made of
plain pink satin ribbon need only a
short length to make them, and are
delightfully frivelous and dainty.
Ready-made tufted soles are used in
making them, the tufted sides cov
ered with the ribbon cut to fit over
them. The uppers are lined with thin
sllk and finished with a quilling of
very narrow ribbon in light green.
A little square of ribbon Is set in
each and extends over the instep.

row quilling, which is brought down
on the body of the slipper for deco

callco exactly ltke the house dress.
Make an extra panel of it. Button it
at the shoulder and walst line to the
front of the house dress. One derives

without looking like a perpetual cook.

and that is right in front where it rubs
against the edge of the sink or the
kitchen table, With two such aprons
one can wear a dark house dress tor
nearly a month, and a light one for &
fortnight,
