Snakes 'And Toads
Ancient prejudices are hard to
overcome. Children instinctively
“try to kill all snakes because, for
countless generations, their an-
cestors have regarded snakes as
their enemies. Some kindrof
snakes always were man’s enc-
mies. and are yet; but their nnm~
her is insignificant in comparison
with the species that are friendly
and beneficent. In most localities
there are no poisonous snakes, but
only snakes which destroy rodents
that would destroy man's food
and property.
The preiudice against toads is
harder to understand. It may
come from the fact that the toad
is ugly. But certainly his charac-
ter and function in Nature’s
scheme are not ugly. In the early
spring he sings, beautifully. The
rest of the season he busies him-
self devouring such harmful lit-
tle pests as cutworms, gypsy
moths, tent caterpillars, army
worms, brown-tailed moths, house-
flies and rose chafel's.
In England gardeners have long
appreciated the usefulness of
toads, and have bought them by
hundreds to install in their gar-
dens. American gardeners are
just beginning to do likewise. It
is a long step, though. from this
professional appreciation, to
teaching boys and girls not to
throw stones at hop-toads.

.White Coal in Europe
Electrification of railroads in
the European countries having
abundant water power is said to
be proceeding steadily. It was
interrupted by the war and (hr

this last handicap, however, a sur-

generous use of electricity for
liflting purposes—even the bum-

advancing in the electrification of
its railroads. Germany has less

All the financiers are not in banks
There's a little man who
around the corner of Sixth avenue and
28th street and adjacent corners who
deals in money. He sells money. His
stock in trade comprises German
marks and Russian rubles. which he
sells to garment wbrkcra. Noble
looking Russian notes with six figures
go for from 16 to 25 cents.
This money merchant went into
business on the theory that lots of
people would buy them just to hold
them. to admire. to look at—to own.
"It reminds them.” he says. "of the
days when they were youngsters in
Russia. and a thousand rubles was a
fortune. 0n pay day lots of work-

A somewhat heated discussion is
being carried on among ministers as
to the effect on the churches of
broadcasting sermons and church
services. Some say that because of
such distribution by radio rural
church attendance is being seriously
depleted. Some believe that the radio
is helpful to the church oi large, oth-
ers that it is detrimental.
Far-sighted religious leaders see
that mechanic improvements provide
no substitute for the personal touch
in religious work. The photograph of
a friend is not an accepted substitute
for the friend. Phonographic record

ories that have brought back many to

The great end and aim of the
church. however. is not to build up
an organisation and increase church
thought. The radio is one of the
agencies that carry the message of the
church to myriada who never ‘pdls

Yale Honoring Women
The degrees granted to Mrs. “'har-
ten and Miss Woolley by Yale this
yoar.were not by any means the flrat
honorary degrees to be granted by the
university to women. The degrees
granted to these ladies were indeed the
first award of the degrees of doctor of
laws by Yale to women. but honorary
degrees of master of arts had been
grunlcd to women before at that uni-
versity. Yalcs' honorary and honor-
ablo list is in this regard is as follows:
Jane Addams. M. A.. 1910; Mabel
Thorpe Boardman. M. A.. 1911:
Cecilia Bronx. 3!. A. l 9 l 2: Mary

Yale may well be regarded as the

Golf for All
(Bridgeport Post.)‘
Golf was inventedby the lhbifticst
race on earth and is being exploited
by the moat prodlxal race on earth.

golf club ‘ts equal to having one'a
name in the Blue Book. or a favorable

representing an investment of a mil-
lion dollars with trcmsndous overhead

The practical result is that golf in
this country is restricted to man

liberty and the pursuit of the golf
ball."
The public attitude toward golf has
changed rapidly in the last few years.
It was ever far from being an old
man's game. It is today a source of
healthful exercise in which more
should participate. And those who
need it most are those who an afford
it least as the game stands today.
