BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS
RARELY BITE HUMANS—
UST when everyone had learned to respect
J the
so-called deadly Black Widow spider,
now along comes Dr. H. A. Allard of the U. S
Department of Agriculture, who writes that
while it is admitted the bite of the spider is poi­
sonous, he does not consider it dangerous and
the joker is that they almost never bite human
beings. This will be welcome news to many who
live in fear of the little black and red creatures.
Years ago, Dr. Allard found this spider very
abundant in northern Georgia. It has now
spread to all 48 states, and is fairly common
here. Dr. Allard doubted its poisonousness and
was willing to play guinea pig himself. He tried
to make it bite him on the thin skin between the
fingers, but the obstinate creature would not
bite. Dr. Allard states that on several occasions,
“on collecting trips as many as five or six were
carried in the closed hand with no effort on
their part to bite,” and that he has liberated
swarms of the young in an old moodpile near his
garden, with no fear of being bitten.
Our advice is not to try to make pets out of
them; they want freedom and do not want to
mingle with white folks. If one does bite you by
mistake, play safe and see a doctor as soon as
possible. But there is no need of being in great
’ear of the Black Wildow, and worrying need-
' essly.

TAKE CARE TO MAKE
IT A HAPPY HOLIDAY—
“Glorious Fourth” can be just as glor­
T HE
ious as we choose to make it. This year the
long week-end created by the holiday will inten­
sify the hazards which the Fourth always pro­
duces. The watchword should be, “Take Care!”
Independence Day celebrates the independ­
ence oi a nation. The coming week-end will
demonstrate vividly the modem interdepend­
ence of people. Great streams of traffic pouring
over the highways will show how essential are
mutual regard and courtesy among drivers.
Fireworks will demonstrate it too. A “firecrack­
er thrown by another” is, according to the Nat­
ional Conservation Bureau, the greatest single
cause of the tremendous number of fireworks
accidents every Fourth of July. At the beaches
and lakes, imprudent swimmers will remind us
that human life must be risked to save the life
of a drowning person.
Make this a safe and sane Fourth by taking
proper precautions. If you drive—see that your
car is in good mechanical condition. Check tires,
lights, brakes, steering mechanism, windshield
wiper, rear-view mirror and horn. Drive at a
reasonable speed and with courtesy toward the
other fellow'. Observe the rules of tne road.
If you us fireworks—give yourself plenty of
space. Keep away from children, animals and
buildings. Throw firecrackers away from people
and inflammable materials, not at them. Never
hold an exploding firecracker in the hands.
Don't be the cause of an accident that will make
you remember the 4th as a day of sorrow and
misgivings.
