POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (UP)—
A. I,. Hinrichs’ present objective is
few known varieties of snakes not
yet represented in his famous col-
lection of Missouri reptiles.
With a battered hat on his head
and heavy boots on his feet he
spends most of his time tramping
through Ozark woods or poking
into drainage ditches before the
snakes "hqle up” for cold weather.
His collection now includes all
sorts of reptiles — rattlesnakes,
copperheads, blacksnakes, blue
racers, cottonmouths and water
moccasins.
King Snake Segregated
Hinriches keeps his snakes un-
der a wire screen covering in a
long concrete pit. There they live
amicably enough, but, just to be
on the safe side, the water den-
izens are herded off at one end
and upland snakes in the other.
Only one is kept in a box to itself.
That is a king snakes of uncer-
tain temper.
Hinrichs once dropped the king
snake into the pit just to see
what would happen, believing that
a litle fraternizing would do it
good. Without a moment’s hesita-
tion the reptile belted a copper-
head and the battle was on. In-
trigued, the other snakes slid up
and joined the melee. Before Hin-
rich could dig the king snake out
of the tangle, one poisonous snake
was dead.
Father Also Collector
When Hinrichs started collect-
ing snakes he was following in
the footsteps of his father, the
late Capt. Charles Hinrichs, a
Civil War officer. Nearly a quar-
ter of a century ago his large
estate was a private meganerie
of extensive proportions. The son
still owns a parrot known to be
at least 50 years old. It is the only
remnant of the captain's collec-
tion.
Hinrichs has declined many of-
fers for his snakes, explaining
that it is merely a hobby. Some
day, perhaps, said he, he may turn
the whole lot loose in their native
haunts.

help. Jim can’t see WPA as a
campaign asset at all. And,
strangely enough, he and many
other regular Democratic politi-
cians believe that the party is
under a great handicap because it
failed to play politics with WPA
and other emergency agencies to
the extent which politicians nor-
mally would be expected to play.
Some of the Democratic profes-
sionals are especially sere at Hop-
kins because he refused to co-
operate with Farley sufficiently
to let Governor Brann appoint the
WPA administrator in Maine.
They believed that a g ood Brann
Democrat on the job could have
won the senatorial election for the
governor.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN
WASHINGTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 8—Al Smith,
in addition to attacking the New
Deal with his bitterest brand of
scorn, will endorse Governor Lan-
don by name, says an inside tip.
That’s the answer to a quetslon
many politicians have been asking
themselves—assuming, of course,
that Smith doesn't change his
mind.
Some of the Republican strate-
gists now say privately that Smith
will cut more heavily into the
Roosevelt vote than they previous-
ly anticipated, mainly in large
cities such as New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Detroit.
Democrats consulted on that,
point are divided between these
who say Smith will give votes to
Roosevelt as often as he speaks
and those who feel that Smith will
be helpful to Roosevelt in some
areas and harmful in others.
The question as to whether
Smith, in campaign speeches,
would actually come out for Lan-
don has been a question of
whether this lifelong Democrat
could actually be persuaded to de-
clare for a Republican candidate
other than by implication.
The inside tip from Republican
sources irf that Smith has so de-
cided. Old associates of both Smith
and Roosevelt admit that the bit-
terness which has grown up be-
tween the two men is now almost
in the incredible stage.
Garner to Broadcast
Vice President John N. Garner
ill make a radio speech for the
Roosevelt-Garner ticket. Tills is
news to Republicans, who have
been asserting that Garner had
gone into the silences because he
was personally opposed to most
New Deal policies.
It may also be considered news,
especially when you cond®t»r the
prodigious oratorical activities of
Col. Frank Knox, that the Demo-
cratic vice presidential candidate
is lined up for only one speech.
But others are expected to follow.
It is common talk in Washing-
ton that Garner does considerable
grousing in private about the New
Deal. One story is that he blames
the New Deal because he now has
to pay pecan pickers 75 cents in-
stead of 50 cents a day.
But Jack does keep reasserting
his loyalty to Roosevelt in pri-
vate conversations and has
pointed out to many friends that
no one could possibly agree with
Roosevelt or any other man on
all points of a program as big
as that which Rosevclt initiated.
Pin Faith on Roosevelt
The real strategists in the Dem-
ocratic high command have final-
ly concluded that they have only
one speaker this year worth men-
tioning. That's Roosevelt.
The other New Deal speakers
are local heroes, just window
dressing.
One question this raises
whether Roosevelt can be more
effective than Landon and all the
other Republican orators put to-
gether.
There were those who felt that
Secretary Harold Ickes would be
the nearest thing to a tower of
strength among New Deal speak-
ers. But they have been more
pessimistic since Ickes undertook
to wipe the floor with Hearst in
a radio speech.
The delivery wasn’t very excit-
ing and the content wasn’t up to
expectations of those who wanted
to see Hearst thoroughly smeared.
Hopkins Is Silent
Ickes still rates higher as a New
Deal campaign grusader than his
rival, Harry Hopkins cf WPA,
however. Hopkins has been com-
pletely silent.
Reason is that Jim Farley
doesn’t think he would be of any

Hiccups that last over long
periods of time are dua usually
to a more permanent cause, af-
fecting the central area in the
brain. Occasionally, however, long-
continued hiccups are due to emo-
tional causes, with a hysterical
element. Such hiccups will not
stop until the emotional reaction
is broken at some point.
Everybody has his own cure
for ordinary hiccups. In emotional
cases, the remedy may be a fix-
ing of the attention on some new
object or interest. Even in the
physical cases, the shifting of at-
tention may lower the threshold
of irritation and thus bring about
cessation of the hiccups.
Some common superstitions are
that hiccups may be cured by
standing in a corner and counting
to 100, pressing on the upper
lip, pressing on the roof of the
mouth, taking five or seven sips
of water, eating a dry piece of
-J, or some similar simple per-
formance.
OTTAWA, Ont. (UP)-Investi-
gation by the Employment Com-
mission of Canada finds in the
modernization of Canadian homes
effective stimulus to employment
and commerce as well as the bet-
terment of living conditions.
Under the present Housing Act
the progress is slow. Loans can be
made only for new constructiort
and the total thus advanced by
lending institutions and the fed-
eral government is little above
$2,000,000. The scheme is being
availe of mainly in Ontario and
Quebec. Loan companies have
made no advances in Saskatche-
wan and Alberta because they do
not like the "conditions” which
prevails there. The conditions are
not only economic but to them is
added the uncertainty which re-
sults from the monetary schemes
of the Social Credit Government.
Capital is afraid.
At the next session of parlia-
ment the Housing Act, it is ex-
pected, will be amended so as to
cover remodeling operations. The
demand for this, a survey indi-
cates, far exceeds proposals for
new buildings. Inquiry discloses
that projects of modernization,
rather than new construction, are
the major part of the United
States housing program.
It is estimated that remodeling
of existing homes In Canada would
open in the next four or five years,
a potential market for $200,000,-
000 worth of materials.
When the law is amended It is
expected to facilitate buildingh .f or
rental as well as homes for indi-
viduals. The Employment Com-
mission .however, intends to sup-
ervise the erection of houses,
which can be rented at a monthly
rate not greater than the weekly
wage of the average wage-earner,
continued periods of hiccupping. brea(*>
TU___ ____ _ai____ . . . fziyrriQi___
In persistent cases, doctors may
wash out the stomach, prescribe
narcotics or sedatives that will
lower the threshold of irritation
and give temporary relief, give
enemas or doses of oil to clean
out the entire intestinal tract, or
attack the problem in some such
manner.
Babies frequently have hic-
cups after swallowing food too
rapidly with a considerable
amount of air. If the baby is held
on the shoulder and patted on the
back, it will expel the air that
is causing the hiccups.
In some instances, hiccups are
so severe that they seems to threat-
en life itself, and surgical opera-
tions have been performed tp cut
off the stimulations passing thru
the nerve to the diaphragm.
Such surgical operations are,
however, serious and are not at-
tempted unless the condition has
reached the stage in which it
threatens life.
[The Family Doctor) g M1.1
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN,
Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
Ordinary hiccups are familiar
to everyone.
When one breathes, the dia-
phragm contracts. The diaphragm
is a large mucle separating the
abdominal cavity from that of
the chest. Movement? of the dia-
phragm are controlled by a nerve
which passes down to it from the
upper part of the spinal cord in
the {region of the neck.
If this nerve is irritated at any
point, the stimulation brought
about by the irritation causes the
contsant spasm or contraction of
the diaphragm, resulting in a
hiccup.
The nerves are, of course, as-
sociated also with a central con-
trol in the brain. Abscesses or
irritation resulting from inflam-
mation of the tissues around this
central control may cause long-
X - “ — — — J ' 1 — • •
TRere are other cases which are
called chemical hiccups. These
follow the eating of highly irri-
tating foods or liquids.
If hiccups begin suddenly and
disappear promtply, they are due
usually to temporary causes, such
as irritation from food, sudden di-
latation of the stomach which may.
follow a surgical operation, or
some temporary stimulus affect-
thus bringing it within the means
of the passes.

WASHINGTON (UP).—Robert
C. Graham, chairman of the Ex-
port Committee of the Automo-
bile Manufacturers Association
has announced that Monday, Nov.
16, has been declared “Interna-
eons. Then he spoke passionately
-for the upholding and safeguard-
ing of the American constitution,
opened a satchel, produced his In-
dian herbs and delivered a dis-
course upon the intricacies of the
intestines. By this time his
crowd, gown to large proportions,
saw no further reason for being
argumentative—and scattered.
Day Set Aside for
Foreign Auto Men
One of the queerest harbingers of good times has come,
recently from no less an institution than the United States
army. The army figures that the number of desertions is
going to increase this year—and, thereby, deduces that the
country is getting back to prosperity.
Since 1931 the number of enlisted men who have gone
“over the hill” has been far below normal. Times were bad
and jobs were scarce; the soldier knew that in the army
he would be well fed and well housed and regularly paid,
and recognizing a good thing when he saw it—he stuck
around.
Now, says Brig. Gen. E. T. Conley, acting adjutant
general of the army, things are changing, and “it is rea-
sonable to assume that the desertion rate will increase.”
This may make it tough for the army authorities,
whose plans are naturally interfered with by a rise in de-
sertions. But it’s a welcome sign of rising prosperity.

DIVORCE VICTIMS

The divorce rate probably would be cut sharply if
married couples contemplating that step would stop and
think that, as a result of their action, their children might
end behind prison bars.
That this is not an unusual outcome of marital break-
ups was revealed by Police Chief George G. Henry, Balti-
more, at a recent police chief’s convention.
According to Chief Henry, 98 per cent of the malefac-
tors with whom he has dealt came from broken homes.
“If children get proper home training,” he contends,
“that knocks out the criminal tendency.”
If they realized just how greatly their youngsters
would suffer for it, parents would think long and carefully
before destroying the normal life of children in their for-
mative years.
The famous war debts may be as dead as a salted
herring, but it is beginning to look ps if they have left
some very lively ghosts to stalk about the chancelleries of
Europe.
It has been several years since all the European na-
tions except Finland agreed that there was no sense in pay-
ing Uncle Sam what was due him. Since armies and navies
are the only international collecting agencies that amount
to anything, and since Uncle Sam obviously was not going
to get that tough about it, welshing seemed perfectly safe.
Uncle Sam would just have to take it—rather, not
take it—and like it.
There was one little thing the American Congress
could do, and it proceeded to do it with all speed. It pass-
ed the Johnson act, prohibiting American loans to any for-
eign governments which were in default on their war debts.
But that looked very much like an empty gesture, at
the time, because nobody was trying to borrow anything,
anyway.
With the passing of the years, however, the picture
has changed a little. The world depression isn’t quite as
bad as it was. Governments are getting into a spending
mood once more.
Furthermore, a new war seems to bq in the cards, and
all bands would like to be able to do a little more business
with the American banks, munitions makers, and raw ma-
terial brokers. t
Both France and Italy, for instance, recently found it
advisable to seek funds from abroad; and both nations
found the American banks closed to them.
Now it is reported that Great Britain is likewise inter-
ested in getting funds in this country for its vast rearma-
ament campaign; but the Johnson act stands in Great Bri-
tain’s way also.
As a result of all this, rumors are afloat to the effect
that one or another of the foreign powers will presently
be taking steps to reopen the war debt question.
One report—quoted recently by the Business Condi-
tions Weekly of the Alexander Hamilton Institute—sug-
gests that England may devalue the 246,000,000 pounds
sterling of gold now held by the Bank of England and of-
fer the resulting profit, some $700,000,000, to America as
a lump sum settlement of *Jte British debt.
It would seem odd to find the war debts on the front
pages again, after we had kissed them goodby forever. But
it is quite possible that is just what wiH happen.
If it does happen, there must be at least a few Amer-
icans who will suspect that the war debts are worth more
dead than alive.
Defaulted, the debts stand as a barrier against our
getting financially and industrially entangled with a
Europe which is on the verge of indulging in another
world-shaking row.
Paid up—at a dime on the dollar, or some such rate—
they would cease to be a barrier, and the way would be open
once more for us to be a Good Time Charley for the world
at large.
