EVEN THE S'AKE MAN IS WART OP THE GILA MONSTER,
WHOSE POISON IS AS DEADLY AS POISON CAN BE: BUT HE
KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE ONE. AND HIS TWQ-YEAIS-OLD DAUGH
TER SEEMS TO HANDLE SNAKES EASILY ENOUGH, TOO.
BERKELEY. alif. June 8.
There's, one little girl In' the world
whose picnic excursions will never
be spoiled by the uninvited guest
a snake. r -
She's Virginia Leo Schirbach.
age 2.
Virginia has a doten kinds ot
snakes lor pets and playthings.
Like all little girls, she likes dolls,
but she adores the shlney, graceful
and beautifully marked reptiles
' that glide noiselessly about 'her
daddy's farm, the queerest farm In
America, a snake farm.
"Tex" Schubach buys and sells
snakes for all purposes. Hunters
comb mountains and deserts for
new specimenls. Half a hundred
Tarieties of. snakes, ranging ffo:r
tiny fellows that snuggled in the
palm of his hand to huge reptiles,
in ' demand by sideshows and cir
cuses, stock this queer farm. Ven
om is extracted from the big rat
tlers and shipped to drug concerns.
Schubach is an expert with
snakes, but he has a wholesome re
spect for the Gila monster, native
ot Arizona deserts.
.' "The Oila monster is more dead
ly than all the rattlesnakes In the
world," says "Tex." "Most snakes
are barm less and non-poisonous,
and with the exception of the ra
tlcr, which is "the fighter," will
run away if given halt a chance.
But little Virginia with a huge
bull snake coiled in her arms gives
j another turn to the age-old e'mnlty
i between man and reptile.
When asked wby he taught his
children to play with these queer
pets, "Tex" replied:
"To make picnics more enjoyable!"
TREES AS WELL
AS LADIES ARE
DYED NOWADAYS
Peroxide Blond or Henna
Veneer and Plywood
v1 Can be Grown
Colored Woods have long been
known, but the recent Introduction
. In England of a new method of
coloring the wood in living trees
will be of considerable interest to
veneer, plywood and cabinetwork
manufacturers. To obtain this re
sult, chemical dyestuffs of special
: composition are put around the
root of the trees to be colored,
espoelally birch or other trees with
clearly colored ' and sap-holding
wood.1 This niust be done at a time
when the sap IS mounting Into the
trunk, thus most colorings will be
done in, the- spring. The sap car-
' rles the 'coloring matters through
out the tree, making tine stripe ef
' fects, as sotaei fibers are more sap
holding than others. Green, red or
violet are preferred. '
The woods are especially of value
In small' cabinetwork or for mak
ing panels.; A ', cafe - In Berlin is
beautifully finished with green pan
els decorated with golden lines.
Cigarette boxeB ot red colored wood,
as well - as other small articles ot
. high life, have recently mado their
appearance. Soino excellent results
have beeft obtained In coloring ve
neer wood, to show ' dark brown
fibers beside natural Colored bright
fibers. , The colors are not dam
aged by drying the wood In plate
dryers and by gluing the plywood
In hot plate presses. There Is also
, the possibility to inject around the
roots not Only ono color but sev
eral, which then are mixed more or
less when raising Into the trunk. '
