“ Saved by a Deadly Snake”
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter
H
ello everybody :
Here we are again, boys and girls, worshiping at the
dangerous shrine of the Goddess of Adventure.
Old Lady Adventure sure does some interesting things in real
; life—stranger than anything the fiction boys can think of. For in
stance: who ever heard of a snake saving anyone's life? And yet it did
happen. Edgar Bell of Mountain Lakes. N. J., says that a big copper
head snake saved two lives and by golly he can prove it.
On a blistering day in August Ed and a chum of his decided to ex
plore an old canal that, in the towpath days, connected the Ohio river
and the Lake Erie ports. The canal, long since out of use, ran through
a lonely, uninhabited, densely wooded country. The boys paddled along
enjoying the scenery until they came to a ramschackle houseboat moored
to the bank, and then their trouble commenced.
Well, sir, they were floating along lazily a few feet from the
houseboat when the cabin door banged open and a wild-eyed,
bearded giant staggered out with a double-barreled shotgun in
his hairy hands. The man was obviously crazed with liquor, and
Ed says he must have thought they were pink elephants or some
thing because he suddenly covered the boys with the gun and tried
to draw a bead on them.
He Was Determined to Shoot Them.
The boys tried to reason with him, but he seemed to be beyond
reasoning. Fortunately, Ed says, the man was so unsteady on his feet
that he couldn't keep the gun pointed at their canoe long enough to
get in a shot, but it was plain that he was trying his best to do just that.
Ed says, too, that every tim e that gun swung his way he thought he wa3
looking into twin entrances to the Holland tunnel.
Ed admits that he and his chum were scared to death. Their canoe
made such an easy m ark that they didn't dare start to paddle away.
It's No I ’se

Safe Pleasant Way
To Lose Fat
How would you like to lose IS
pounds of tat in a month and at the
same time increase your energy and
improve your health?
How would you like to lose your
double chin and your too prominent
hips and at the same time make your
skin so clean and clear that it will
compel admiration?
How would you like to set your
weight down to normal ana at the
same time develop that urge for ac
tivity that makes work a pleasure
and also gain in ambition and keen
ness of mind?
T
for, while the drunken man seemed to have some difficulty aiming, he
was still able to keep the muzzle of that shotgun pointed in their gen
eral direction. He couldn't have missed at that distance. And there
wasn't a soul within miles of them.
The man must have had some insane idea that the boys were at
tacking him, Ed says, because he kept jabbering curses and trying
frantically to balance himself for a shot. Finally, with the muzzle of
the gun still pointed in their direction, the maniac leaned against the
i cabin to steady himself and squinted along the sights.

Items of Interest
AROUND
>h. H O U S E
Two Buttons and a H a ir P in.—
In most cases that’s all you need
to keep the loose pieces from fa ll
ing out of a shattered window
pane in your home or car. Put
one button on each side of the hole
in the glass, run the h air pin
through the buttons and twist the
end until it is tight.
• • •
A Delight for the Children.—
N ext tim e your children w ant a
party, cook a cornstarch custard
and fill cones. Alternate every
spoonful or so with currant jelly
and finish with je lly on top.
• • •
Cauliflower and Eggs.—Butter a
pie dish and break into it 4 eggs.
H alf cook a small cauliflower and
break into neat pieces. Arrange
these round the eggs and sea«jn
with salt and pepper. Pour over
4 tablespoonfuls m ilk and place 1
ounce butter in sm all pieces on
the top. Sprinkle 2 ounces grated
cheese over, and bake 15-20 m in
utes in a moderate oven.
• • •
Lattice-Topped Pies.—F ru it and
berry pies w ith lattice-style tops
require less baking tim e than the
regular full-crust toppers.
• • •
Good Airing.—When you have
the windows open in the morning
to a ir the beds before m aking,
open the clothes closet doors wide
and let the current of a ir run
to the Housewife
through them. I t w ill prevent
them from getting that close
stuffy odor so undesired where our
clothes are concerned.
• • •
To Wash Curtains.—-Lace cur
tains before being washed for the
first tim e should be soaked for an
hour or two in cold water to which
two tablespoons of table salt have
been added. This removes dress
ing in curtains and makes them
much easier to launder.
• • •
Saves Tim e on Wash D ay.—An
old wood plane is just the thing to
convert bar soap into shavings
that dissolve quickly. Turn the
plane upside down over a large
ja r or other container and work
the soap back and forth across the
sharp edge.

Apple B atter and Ice Cream.—

Peiping Once Cambulac
Ages ago Peiping was known as
Cambulac. Later it became the
"P urple Im p erial C ity ,” or Peking,
which means "northern capital.”
The latter name hung on longest.
But in 1928, Gen. Chiang Kai-shek’s
Nationalist hordes swept up from
the south, not only captured Peking,
but took the seat of the govern
ment back to Nanking, says the
Washington Post.
So, as Peking
was no longer the "northern capi
ta l,” the c ity ’s name was changed,
this time to Peiping. The meaning
of that is ironic. For Peiping
means “ city of northern peace!"
Bats Pollinate Bananas
Bats play the role of bees in pol
linating certain kinds of bananas,
states D r. L. van der P ijl, biologist
of the Netherlands East Indies. Cer
tain species of these flying m am
mals have very long tongues,
equipped to collect pollen for food.
They move from flower to flower,
and in so doing transfer enough of
the pollen surplus to effect fertiliza
tion. The banana flowers visited by
the bats have an odor quite dis
agreeable to human nostrils, which
is said to be quite like that of the
bats themselves, and hence pre
sumably attractive to them.

Gosh! What a spot to be ini Ed says he felt powerless to move
a muscle as he saw the muzzle of the gun grow steadier. He had
about decided to overturn the canoe and swim for it when he saw some
thing on the houseboat roof that made him forget his own danger and
cry out in alarm .
A deadly copperhead snake lay poised in position to strike
—Just a few inches from the man's face.
"Look out!” Ed screamed.
The drink-crazed man raised his head for a moment at the sudden
cry, then he grinned evilly and squinted along the barrel again. Ed
saw by his tense expression that this time he was going to pull the trig
ger. A nerve-wracking second passed.
And then the snake struck!
Once, twice, three times that vicious copper-colored head flashed
In the sunlight, and each tim e those poisonous fangs found their m ark
in the man's face. The victim ’s gun clattered to the deck. His hand
went to his cheek and he turned and looked in a dazed manner at
this new enemy.
Ed says the sight of the poisonous snake seemed to steady him, and,
as the snake drew back to strike again, the man deftly caught it
behind the neck and killed it with his bare hands.
And now, boys and girls, comes the strangest part of the whole ad
venture. Ed says that the deadly venom from the snake seemed to
bring the houseboat man back to his senses. He thinks the poison had
some chemical effect on the man's blood, because, when he turned and
looked at the boys, his entire expression had changed, and they knew
they had to deal now with a sane man. He gave them a sad smile.
