BRUSSELS, March 30.—Representa- tives of the principal passenger steam- SShip lines met here behind closed doors &t noon today to discuss reduction of passenger rates across the Atlantic.

These latter, in opposition, contended 8 cut in rates would result only in loss of revenue without increasing the num- ber of passengers carried. Other questions of mutual interest were also up for discussion. W. H. Roper, director of the North Atlantic Conferences offices here, said no great difficulties were expected to arise, HEATED TAX DEBATES STIR VIRGIN ISLANDS Administration’s to Bal- ance Budget Brings Sharp Clash Plans in Colonial Council.

Handling Them. By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, March 30.—There's joy in the public library’s rattlesnake colony today, for the King of Spades is convalescing, the Queen of Spades is happy once more, and all's right with their snake world. Mrs. Grace Olive Wiley, slight, gray- haired curator of the library’s museum of natural history, is responsible. She kept the king in a tiny oxygen tent for days to cure what she termed a case of pneumonia. Shy with human beings, but bold and sure with snakes, she tamed the more than 100 reptiles in the collection used in her scientific research work with rattiesnakes, Learned to Like Them. Once she detested snakes, considered them repellent. But, strangely, she learned to like and care for them in | self-defense. Ten years ago fear of snakes spoiled her outdoor work as an_entomolgist. A study of them enabled her to overcome her aversion, and Mrs. Wiley since has devoted her scientific work to snakes. Now she cuddles and carresses poisonous rattlers (none have their fangs drawn) as nonchalantly as a flapper strokes her pet chow. “Rattlesnakes” she sald, “are the | most gentle of anything I know. There | is no animal so patient and understand- |ing as a rattler. They have surprising individualities and personalities.” ‘ The Queen of Spades was an example of this, Mrs. Wiley said. Before she | found the king wrapped in a blanket | one night, then wriggled in to keep him | company, the queen was nervous and | lonesome. Nervous and Temperamental. And Big Ben. Almost 6 feet long, weighing 1015 pounds, he is 11 inches around. It took her 18 months to tame him. First Mrs. Wiley stroked him with a long stick, finally he permitted her to | fondle him. But no one else can come near him | ““He's nervous and temperamental” | she explained as he waggled his rattler noisily while she poked a chunk of steak down his throat with a pointed stick She tames them by petting. They are fed beef, worms, beaten egg, cod liver | oil, and dead mice and rats, depending on the species. FRANCE BARS U. S. WOODS Exhausted Import Quotas Given as Cause of Temporary Action.
