A hero in the old world, a peat and curse In the new (hat in brief la the record of the mongoose whose courage In battling the hooded co bras of India was lmmortatlzed by Kipling In his tale of Rtkkl-tikki-tavl. "Every once In a while someone who has been reading the 'Jungle Book' writes to Washington to sug gest that this doughty little animal be Introduced Into the United States to combat snakes and rats," says a bulletin from the Washington. D. C, headquarters of the National Geo graphic society. Can't He Imported to V. S, "Then it becomes necessary for some government official to disillu sion the letter-writer by setting forth that the mongoose la a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the animal kingdom who shows his worst side as soon as he Is transplanted Into I a part of the world where nature did not originally place him. In fact, i one way to get arrested is to bring a mongoose Into the United States. Their Introduction has been for bidden by federal statute for the last 35 years. "If the sharp-toothed, weoaelllke little animal would eat the poison ous snakes and stop there, everything might be all right. But It does not. "Down In the West Indies Ja maica In particular inhabitants still have a vivid recollection of hun dreds of mongooses, offspring of four or five prolific pairs, overrun ning the countryside and killing not only the snakes and lizards but the chickens. Iambs, kids, and plgllnga. Even dogs and cots were not safe Many kinds of birds were all but wiped out, for here was a new peril with which nature had never taught them to cope. Upset Nuture's Balance. "For the mongoose this was a para dise. Imported originally to kill the rata which were ruining the cane- flelds. It all but exterminated these peeta In short order. But when the rata were no longer numerous the ever-Increasing hordes of mongooses had to turn to other food with de vastating result. The killing of birds, snakes, and lleards eliminated some of the leading enemies of harmful Insects which promptly In creased until they became a plague. The whole dcllcato balance of nature was upset and it took years to re store it. A price was placed on the head of Rlkki-tlkkl-tavi and he was hunted down relentlessly. On one estate 1400 mongooses were killed In a few months. "On another British West Indian Island. St. Lucla. the story was much the same, although here there ex isted an exceedingly deadly snake, the fer-de-lance, which has been virtually wiped out since the coming of the mongoose.

Having llttl speed STAM BABY WITH Little Helen Stam, six-months-otd baby whose missionary parertt were slain by com muni its several months ago, appears happy In Tsinanfu with her maternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Charles F Scott and a native nurse. The baby was spared by the Chinese raiders (Associated Press Photo. grant frcm the old world contributed I perhaps more by the Indirect means : of eating the food, primarily rata1 and mice, on which the serpent was wont to feed, than by direct attack. The terrible lance-head viper proved no such easy opponent as the hooded cobras of India against which tne mongoose through untold genera tions has perfected a lethal form of attack. Hair An Armor. "When a mongoose meets Its sworn enemy, the serpent, Its long hair stands straight up until the little creature in truth seems swollen to twice Its normal aloe. The bristles deceive the anake Into striking short and also form a cushioning armor which the death -dealing fangs find it hard to penetrate. "Wholly erroneous are the stories that the mongoose la Immune to the snake's poison or tha when bit ten It goes off and finds a root or herb which It eats as an antidote. To conquer his cobra enemy, Rikki-tlkki-tavl who gets that name from the sound of bis war-cry depends upon speed, courage, agility, and tactical Instinct Inherited from long line of snake -fighting fore bears. He tires out the cobra by drtwlng repeated lungea. Then. o swiftly that the eye cannot ioiiow. he darts in and crunches the back of the head Just above the hood. There he clings though the thresh ing snake may almost bang out his bruins. "In India the mongoose la do mesticated to serve aa protection against reptiles and to rid houses of ruts and mice. "Ancient Egyptians lavished affec tion and even veneration upon member of the mongoose clan, the Ichneumon or pharaon's rat, which not only devoured anakes. rats, ana lizards, but kept the number of crocodiles within bounds by feeding to great entent upon their eggs "In Just such fashion remote an cestors of tha mongoose In far-off geological times may have hastened the downfall of the enormous acaiy creatures of the age of reptiles by the simple expedient or eating their eg?a. for here Is one of nature's oldest blood-feuds." ! 4 THE GRANGE Lake Creek?

MIFNTOTHHIS IN STORY OF MAN Central Asia Believed by Scientists to Hold Key Bandits, Disease Make Exploration Difficult Task WASHINGTON. D. 0. (Spl.) In Central Asia, scientists tgree. many missing chapters" tn the story of mankind await explorers who ere courageous, or lucky, enough to es cape the bandit hordes, earthquakes and pestilence that render the area leas accessible to the foreigner than the far away Antarctic, A cable dispatch from Linchow, In western China, reports that hundreds of rolls of Buddhist classics, musty with age, were recently dug up In the wind-swept courtyard of a mon astery that flourished more than 1,- S00 years ago. The scrolls, written In both Sansktrt and Chinese', mention a far away city, believed to have been Babylon; but. more important, bits of pottery, strikingly similar to the eartheuware then In use In Mesopo tamia, were found near the scrolls. The ruins of this monastery were discovered accidentally by ft Taolst monk about thirty years ago. Strug gltng through the sand dunes to the Tung Huang district, he came upon what appeared to be a brass table top. Later excavation revealed It to be the crown of a huge statue of Buddha, with the monastery and it cred caves near-by. Findings of a Geographic Expedition During Its tractor-car crossing of Asia along the trail ox Marco Polo tn 1933. the Citroen-Haardt Expedi tion studied another of Central Asia's most Interesting ancient sites Ba- sakllk. In Slnklang (Chinese Turks stan), a few hundred miles west of the scene of the recent Lanchow die ' coverles. Dr. Maynard Owen Williams, Na tional Geographic Society representa tive with the Citroen-Haardt Expe dition, describes the experiences of an archeologlcal group which spent mora than a week studying and re producing strange frescoes and cave temples of this hidden corner of the world. "We spent eight busy days In the vicinity or Bazakllk,' Dr. Williams writes, "while Jacovlcff, the expedi tion artist, with a gasoline heater keeping his color palette from freez ing, copied frescoes and the rest of us shivered in dark, dusty caverns behind our motion picture and na tural cameras. "In Baxnkllk we found that exca vated grottoes bearing Uigur Inscrip tions had been taken over by the Buddhists, who roofed them with mud bricks, forming new arched cell- lngs.
