Infants snore commonly. Between the ages of ten and thirty years, snoring is rare. But after thirty it increases. This m ay be because at this age period, people become a little careless about their physical well being. And unless the physical condition which is causing the snor ing is corrected, it will increase with the passing of each ten years. G enerally, snoring indicates dis turbances in the breathing ap p ara tus, especially an obstruction in the nose th a t prevents the individual from sleeping with his mouth closed. The obstruction m ay be a result of polypi, tum or growths, en larged turbinates, bony deform ities, sinus infection or a deviated septum which encroaches on the air space of one nostril. Strange but true, certain foods m ay cause a person to snore. Many men and women are sensitive to c e r tain proteins. If they eat tom atoes, for instance, the mucous m em branes of the nose have a tendency to ac cum ulate secretions. Chronic in- flam m atior of the nasal linings also m ay cause an enlargem ent of the tissues sufficient to obstruct the nose. In children, snoring commonly is an indication of enlarged adenoids. According to conservative esti m ates, one out of every eight per sons snores m ore or less regularly. No doubt every person snores occa sionally, but the one out of eight is the person to look out for. A ra b s F irs t to Respect the V a lu e o f G ib ra lta r Even in the days when m ilitary science w as in its infancy the rock of G ibraltar, rising sheer 1,400 feet, appealed to the im agination of the ancients, who called it, together with its companion, Gebel Musa, on the African coast, the P illars of Hercules. In all other respects they left the solitary giant alone to his m editations, according to a w riter in the Los Angeles Times. The A rabs w ere the first to rec ognize the rock’s strategic value. As Moors they crossed the stra it in 711, christening it Gebel-el-Tarik, or the m ountain of Tarik, their leader’s nam e. They constructed a castle and eventually conquered the whole peninsula. Nine hundred years later the last Moor was expelled from Spain and he left it w here the original one had landed, in the bay of G ibraltar. On the decline of the Spanish em pire the rock passed into British hands. Napoleon tried to take it when he was building his em pire but failed. Thus was created the phrase, “ as strong as the rock of G ibraltar.” Snake Lives on Eggs The egg-eating snake of South Africa is a harm less reptile and lives alm ost exclusively on eggs. It is pale brown in color with three rows of dark er blotches. In describ ing the food habits of this species, scientifically known as Dasypeltis scabra, Raymond D itm ars, author ity on reptiles, says: “ C haracter ized by the presence of only a few teeth in the re a r p a rt of the jaw bones the food of the species is re stricted alm ost entirely to eggs. To aid the snake in cutting through the shell is an ingenious development in the throat. There a re knife-like points extending into the esophagus th at cuts the egg as it passes into the throat»” This snake can sw al low an egg as large as a hen’s even though its body is about the diam eter of a person’s finger. It grows to be a yard long. After the egg has been swallowed the shell is crushed and expelled from the mouth. T hree eggs m ake a big m eal and after th at the egg-eater is likely to fall asleep for three weeks. "L eft” Has Many Meanings The word “ left” has m any ad verse m eanings. A left-handed toast is one drunk to the ill fortune of an enem y, a left-handed m arriage is one contracted with an inferior, a left-handed complim ent is not com plim entary and a left-handed oath is not intended to be binding. Once omens seen over the left shoulder w ere considered unlucky, says Col lier’s Weekly, and actors, when playing villains, had to enter on the left or the sinister side of the stage. The Ten-Gallon Hat According to legend, the 10-gallon hat was nam ed because it was used as a w ater bucket and also to carry food. And at night, the cowboy even rested his weary head on his “ 10- gallon pillow.” Although all the “ gallon” hats were pretty much the sam e size, they were called not only 10-gallon, but also one, two and five gallon hats, varying with the im agination of the W estern story w riter. ta x i ra d o f " ftrr iild e ch ain ."
