AT WHITE HOUSE
Over Four Billion Dollars
Cleared by Congress in
Final Strenuous Hours
Washington, July 1. fP
Congressional clerks today
speeded to the president for sig
nature more than $4,000,000,000
In appropriations, the product
of the last strenuous session of
the old fiscal year which ended
at midnight.
Weary members of the house
of representatives cleared their
desks and quit at 10:30 p. m
(EST) and the senate did not ad
Jour until 10:44. Team-work be
tween the two houses, marred
only by minor disputes, cleared
not only the key spending bills
but also legislation expanding
and continuing the commodity
credit corporation.
The day's work brought close
to 540,000,000,000 the record
breaking total of congressional
appropriations and spending
authorizations voted thus far
this session.
Relief Includtd
The principal measures dis
patched to President Roosevelt
during the lengthy day were:
The S910.S05.000 relief bill
me $i.udu,3uu,U03 farm meas
ure, including funds for "parity
payments to farmers; the $1
195,831,940 supply bill for the
labor department and the secur
ity agency; the $1,030,000,000
deficiency bill, providing more
than $400,000,000 for 2.236 new
naval planes: the $54,183,106
supply bill for the District of
Columbia and the $25,002,256
appropriation for the mainten
ance of congress itself.
Also approved was a measure
continuing the commodity cred
it corporation for two years
from today and increasing its
lending power from $1,400,000,
000 to $2,650,000,000. The In
crease was necessary in part to
provide for recently-authorized
commodity loans at 85 per cent
of parity prices.

Science Casts Cold Eye -
Upon Hopi Snake Dance
New York (U.R) Science is severely critical of the Hopl In
dian snake dance. Ever since
way around northern Arizona,
dancers. How they were able
get bitten was a mystery.
It Is a mystery no longer as.
far as some experts are con
cerned. At considerable per
sonal risk. Dr. Charles M. Bo-
gert of the American Museum
of Natural History discovered a
trick behind the ceremonial.
In Natural History, the
museum' monthly magazine, he
tells all. Dr. Bogcrt attended
one of the nine-day ceremonials
in a Hopi village last August.
Ho sat with the Indians and
watchfld priests dance with wrig
gling reptiles In their mouths.
He counted 10 prairie rattlers,
three Great Basin racers, nine
Arizona bull snakes and one
glossy snake.
At the close of the ceremony,
the priests seized as many snaKes
as they could carry, dashed in
to the desert, and released the
serpents among the rocks.
Dr. Bogert and a companion,
trying to make their actions as
unobtrusive as possible, slipped
into the desert themselves, found
a 34-Inch rattler, rolled It In a
length of sack, and hid the
bundle In Dr. Bogert's hat.
If the Indians had seen them
manhandling one of their "sac
red messengers," there's no tell
ing what might hnve happened.
But they didn't, and, in the
shelter of a convenient gully,
Dr. Bogert examined the snake.
A hasty examination," he rt-
ports, "proved no fangs to be
present."
Back at their camp, they made
a more thorough examination
and found that the snake's em
bryo fangs had been removtd.
making it "permanently and
completely safe to handle." The
venom glands were intact, but
without the fangs, the snake was
harmless.
What surprised Dr. Bogert
was not so much the fact Ihnt
the primary fangs had been re
moved but that the embryo
fangs hod been skillfully ex
cised. "It remains an astonishing
fact," he writes, "that the Hopl
Indians are sufficiently well ac
quainted with the anatomy of
the rattlesnake to remove m
skillfully the reserve fangs.
"Few people, even among
those who habitually handle ral
tlesnnkes In circuses or in carni
val shows, are aware nf the fart
thot nil venomous snakes peri
odically shed their fangs, and
that merely breaking off the
functional fangs does not rendr
the serpents permanently harm
less." Dr. Bogcrt thinks that Hindu
fakirs also are fakers, and that
their "power to charm the dead
ly cobra'' rests 'on the secure
knowledge that its fangs have
been removed.
Of Alaka's 72.000 popula
tion, about 39.000 are white.

a 19 federal tax sticker to help
raise tht desired $3,300,000,000

auce aoout 1733,000,000 of that
