Word ha been received from
tj.s Yorlt Citv bv Harold "Pete-
Sumption, stage director of the
Univeraitv Players, that the rights

Rhlnlnn Hour." Therefore, the
drama by Keith Winters will be
nroduced as the first Dlay of the
season, in place of "The Milky
Wav" arialnallv scheduled. As
Th Bhinina Hour" may be pro
riucrri in pictures, it Is the wish of
the stage director to scoop the
movies in the production of tnis
play. "The Shining hour" is
atnrtlv Enalish plav. and the
characters are of the English
oentleman-farmer class. Its tirst
American production was at the
Booth theater in New York City!
and was presented by Max Gordon, j
It previously enjoyed a successful
season In London. It played all Ut
ment of Snow Hall Dr. Edward H.
Taylor is exhibiting a few speci
mens of reptiles that he collected
on a ten weeks' expedition to Mex
ico this summer. There are also
some snakes that have been
brought in by persons interested
in herptology.
Alone, with snake stick and lan
tern, Dr. Taylor took the reptiles
in their native haunts, the wildest
parts of Mexico. The hunting was
done at night, for snakes stay be
low ground during the day to avoid
the heat or tne sun, wnicn can ue
fatal to any snake long exposed
to its rays.
Among the rows or cages on ine
first table in the room the visitor
sees a sign which reads, "Danger.
Stay away from wire."
In the little cage lies a huge
Crotalus Atrox, or diamond back
rattlesnake. As soon as a visitor
enters the room it sets up a sin
ister rattling that continues as
long as there is any movement in
the room. His bite is not neces
sarily fatal, but extremely unsafe.
A snake similar to tnis one mi me
wife of the American consul at
rcnavmaa MAxim. when she ven
tured too close to a sactc in which
it was kept by Dr. Taylor, vuick
action with a razor blade prevent
ed any serious consequence. Dr.
Taylor reports that that snake
died a very sudden death. "I was
its disease," he states.
Next to the diamond back is a
sassy little hog nosed snake from
Texas. He will hiss and puff out his
hoari (n in effort to intimidate
enemies, but Dr. Taylor says he is
quite harmless ana is, inueea, a
fine pet.
On the other siae or ine ramer
is a beautiful little water snake
which is also a native of Mexico.
Tt i hlark with three yellow
stripes running the length of its
body. It spends US lime in me
bowl of water that its keeper has
thoughtfully piacea in us cage.
Next to this beauty is caged a
boa constrictor. Dr. Taylor took it
in a cave in Sonora, where it dwelt
among1 other txaa, one of which
made a track In the dust of the
cave's floor six inches broad. Al
though Dr. Taylor never sighted
this specimen, he estimated its
length at twelve feet. The one on
exhibit is a small boa. measuring
htwMn ftv and six feet. Its
keeper says that although boas are
usually even tempered ana ramy iu
handle, litis snake never loses an
nnnnrtunitv to take a ulti at him
with its thorn-like but non-poison
ous teem.
On another table in the room is
a cage that contains a huge ahlny
black swamp snake from the Oke-
flnokee swamp in .eorgia. Al
though Dr. Taylor did not collect
this specimen, he is faced with the
problem of feeding it. The only
food it will voluntarily eat is a
type of salamander found only in
its native habitat Dr. Taylor's
snake menu lists only froga, coun
try sausage, fish, and hamburger,
and be will have to pry the snake's

snake and thev are ant to regurgi
tate the food. Teh remedy for this,
reports Dr. layior, is 10 iwisi a
rubber band about the throat of

Next to the snake trom ueorgia
is a diminutive local specimen 01
a mottled king snake. In some lo
calities the king snake is credited
with the ability to kill the danger

Next to the timber rattler from

In a large cage on a nearby

Fireworks Used to Celebrate ween
Wilhemina's Birthday', Dr. Anderson
In witnessing the elaborate birthday celebration for Queen
Williemina in Rotterdam this summer, Dr. Esther S. Anderson
of the university geography department found one of tho most
thrilling experiences of her entire European tour. "It was very
amusing," stated lit. Anderson, "To see people in me iwuhh
lined streets, gamDiing, ooxingv
and wrestling, to celebrate the
miMn'a hirthdav. The dav of cele
bration ended with a brilliant dis
play of fireworks."
In the opinion of Dr. Anderson,
Kumripn and Denmark are tho
most peaceful and contented of all
European countries, "ine larma
there are quite prosperous, and
there are very few unemployed,"
she said. While in Copenhagen,
she attended an International con
vention of liberal religions and
education.
Dr. Anderson was one of a num
ber of Americans who were enter
tained at a reception at the Amer
ican embassy in Warsaw, Poland,
by Ambassador Cudahy. She also
presented a paper on the subject,
"A Geographical Survey of the
Sugar Beet Industry of the United
States" at the International Geo
graphical congress which about
600 attended. Dr. Anderson was
one of ten delegates from the
United States to attend the meet
ings, and was a representative of
both the University of Nebraska
and the Nebraska Academy of
Sciences. Dr. Islah Bowman of
the American Geographical Socie
ty, New York, was president of
the congress.
While in Poland she also visited
in Lowicz, which, she declared, in
terested her very gretly. "The
girls make a very colorful sight,
dressed in their brilliant colored
skirts, as they walk across the
fields. The men dress almost en
tirely In black."
Dr. Anderson made a Mediter
ranean cruise on the steamship
Saturnia which stopped at Ponte
Delgado in the Azores, Gibraltar,
Palma in the Baleric Isles, Cannes,
Nice, Monte Carlo, Naples, Paler
In SicUy, Patraa in Greece, Dru

Naples she visited the ruins of
Pompeii. From Venice, she trav
eled to Verona, Italy, famous for
Its beautiful marble, motoring
back through the Alps from Inns
bruck to Oberammergau where
she attended the Passion Play.
She spent the latter part of July
and much of August in France,
England, Sweden, and Denmark,
after which she went to Germany.
Spending six days in the latter
country, Dr. Anderson had time
to form her own opinions of the
nazi regime. She stated, however,
that it is wise to keep one's opin
ions on the subject silent. "The
agricultural conditions are good in
both Germany and France, in spite
of the drouth conditions, which al
though bad, are not as severe as
In this country," she said.
Strangely enough, Dr. Ander

and an alumnae of the university,

when they received news of the
burning of the Morro Castle.

To age tobacco
. . . many methods have been tried but
nothing has yet been found to equal the
old-fashioned plan . . . packing the to
bacco in wooden casks and ageing it in
warehouses for not less than two years.
All the tobaccos used in Chesterfield
are aged this way.
It requires a large amount of money,
and miles of storage houses; but it's
the only way to make a mild, good
tasting cigarette.
