" l.tXUUN, Ann. -U'i The "s I'ritish government decided to take energetic measures to prevent the recurrcniT of the Arab-Jewish troubles whirli have lorn Pales tince since Kriday, it was reliably ' .reported here last night. The decision was taken after a con ference between Cliayim W'esy liiiinn, president of the Zionisi executive and Lord 1'assl'ield. fnr- ; mei'ly Sidney Webb, secret ury for ": the doiuinions. ; .Meanwhile repercussions of the , disturbances were heard on every , hand, with moat of the press ' i-eeiiiK danger in them to u large : section of the empire. The Lon don Times broke its editorial si lence on the matter to say, after t characterizing the fighting as "the . outcome of a premeditated and or ; ganlzed movement." ' Our plain duties in Palestine ire firmness and decision. Pales v, . tine is a test ease. If we hesi tate or change our accepted policy there we should soon have greater I dangers confronting us elsewhere. "Special grief si nI indignation is felt ut tin- report a iiliiiiImt of young American students Inrtc , been massacred at the Hebron i Talmudie school.

The only surprise is that there is never any of the wild drivers, or their passengers killed." I Last Friday night t about 9:30 i two cars came together In front I of the t'arey place. One held six occupants, four children and a j crown up brother and sister. Had i this car turned over when side- swiped by another car, some one would surely have been killed. As it was. the offending car nosed off the grade and broke off both front wheels, but injured none of the three passengers.

Not only has the local boy mad--i friends of the snakes with which he has come in contact, but. being a true ambassador in their king dom, he attempts in his cjulet way to alleviate the fear of them that i he meets in the eyes of his frlendj. j by allowing them to witness tins I very unusual speetahle: ! In a large caged yard, he keeps i a limited portion of the snake kingdom as a means nf seiontifii siuuy Here the varieolored rep- J tiles crawl and bask luxuriantly i i ithe sun. There is -in a special cage of his own, within the yard the ratller. which Henry picks up between his thumb and forefinger at the base of the head and strokes assuringly, until it ceases its f irnt fit of rattling and hissing and b- ! comes friendly. In with the ruf - tier are baby boas and garfr ; snakes. j There is the Kubber Ho a1, a long ! sluggish snake with eliptical eyes that in the daytime appear to be ; nothing more than slits, but at I night expand to an uncanny all - seeing proportion, j The beautiful Indigo snai;e i Miovoc j enlofftlf bod v nhoiif the .........

This serpent, over six feet long, is a native of Texas and was pre sented to Henry by the local Shrine organization. A coat of slate blue scales, that under certain lights be come almost irri descent, is made m or,, st ri king w hen the snake 's picked up from the ground and discloses a six-foot stretch of conl coloring underneath. Then there is the Pull snake, which sometime eats other, small- or ones, but is satisfied by live mice, fish and other prey brought to him by his master. In a sepa rate throne room, the King snake , holds forth in robes that match the j zebra's coat. He is given the dig- nfty of a separate com part men t, t' not so much on account of his sov 1 ereign prestige, says Henry, but ! because, like some of the ancient i rulers of barbarous kingdoms, he. in a fit of temperament, is given to swallowing the subjects of his dominion. I'eeausc he is a scientist at heart, j Henry is not interested only in tho living snake, but preserves them i after they pass out of their so,nlrm jlng. writhing existence. He has a .whole shelf full of Jars In the ga j rage, and here the more reticent j members of the human family can j view interesting specimens of ; "pickled snakedom." In this col :' lection is the poisonous eoppoer- head, the rattler, a large king i snake, a bull snake and a boa. i Horned toads from the desert of j New Mexico are also living happily ! under the tender care of 'I he Mcd : ford boy, as are varioiiH natlonat , it ies of lizards, t urt les and other I unusual creatures.
