" HENONENAL GA OF RADID SHOWN 90 Per Cent of $2,000,- 000,000 Investment in Receiving Sets. NEW survey of the electrical household equipment indus- try just completed by Poor's Publishing Co., shows that of a total of nearly $2,000,000,000 in- vested in the radio industry, approxi- mately 90 per cent is in receiving sets. According to the publishing com- pany, the number of broadcasting stations increased from 1 in 1920 to more than 600, and the number of re- ceiving sets from less than 100,000 to 25,551,569, “Such phenomenal growth,” the company said, “establishes the uni- versal appeal of radio. It also sug- gests the approaching saturation point. Twenty years ago a forecast of the progress which has actually oc- curred would have seemed fantastic. Yet, the future’s progress in utilizing | this apparently inexhaustible energy may dwarf that which has already been accomplished.” Tk » CANCELLATION of the Boy Scout Jamboree in Washington this month, has brought a change in the broadcast plans for President Roose- velt's greeting to the Scouts. Under the altered schedule, both N. B. C. and Columbia expect to carry a 15-minute message by the President to the Scouts August 21 at 8:45 p.m. Mr. Roosevelt will speak from the White House and the Scouts will listen in at various local headquarters. Meanwhile, the special weckly Boy Scout dramatic programs on N. B. C. and Columbia will be carried out as| originally intended. * x o= KATE SMITH has just signed a con- tract with a nation-wide chain store company for a special series on Columbia starting October 1.

Berryman 'HIS surname is traceable to 1hel French province of Berri, but the | family is one of long standing in Eng- land. It was represented in the six- | teenth century by John de Berri (or| | Berryman) of Upcott, England. His (Copyright, 1835) son John was the grandfather of | John and Elizabeth Berryman, who, in 1654, migrated to America and settled in Westmoreland County, Va. Benjamin Berryman, the son of a Nature’s these founders, became an influential | ‘ Western Pine Snake (Pituophis sayi). citizen in the Virginia colony, serving as justice and attorney in King George and Stafford Counties and as sheriff of Westmoreland County. He also rendered valuable militdry services as captain and major. He married Eliz- abeth Newton of Westmoreland. Through the Newton alliance the Berrymans trace their lineage back to King Caradoc, one of the earliest Kings of Wales, who reigned in 53 AD. Benjamin and Elizabeth Berryman were the parents of a large family, and | through the marriage of their chil- dren the Berryman family became allied with the Taliaferros, Ishams, Woodsons and Randolphs of Virginia 'and with the Allertons of Massa- chusetts. - = Four Thumbs to Print.

S YOU probe deeper into the lives of the outdoor folk you | realize each family has some distinguishing feature. Once this is firmly fixed in your mind, | identification becomes easy. | Take the bull snakes, of which the Western pine snake is a member. This characteristic takes the form of | a queer filament of cartilaginous flesh | in the mouth, placed directly in front | of the breathing passage. | When the snake is angry and ex- cited the mouth is half open, and the filament is raised so that the breath striking against it forcibly results in a very loud hissing sound which can be heard for 50 feet or more. To | make it seem even more fearsome thz | | snake strikes at the object offending | it, repeatedly. Children the dry leaves as to produce & sound as sickening as the rattler’s. ‘The bull snakes have very sharp pointed snouts, a very noticeable dif- | ference from the square, flat heads of | their cousins, the colubers. Among the harmless snakes, this species is probably the largest to be | found in North America. So you will be glad to know their size does not | indicate danger, and their antics are merely bluffs. Their presence is most beneficial to the farmer, for the ap- | petites of these fellows are satisfied | only with small mammals, intent upon destroying man’s property. It is a powerful constrictor, and soon hugs squirrels, rabbits and other small ani- mals to death. So, insjead of stoning | the handsome snake, wish him good luck in his endeavors. ‘The Western pine or yellow gopher has a ground color of rich orange- | yellow or reddish yellow. Along the | sides is a row of large square blotches of dark reddish-black or brown, on the back a series of smaller blotches. | When the snake stretches his body the yellow skin color mstches the color of the scales. The head is dark yellow, and there is a black or brown band across the crown in front of the eyes. Another one extends from the | eye to the angle of the mouth. The! lip plates are bordered in black. The abdomen is yellow. This snake is the favorite for shox- men, and many a one is seen in the And during the hos-| circuses. It appears most of the time in my feed lot. 1935. asleep he had seen a to entangle him. to sullenness and melancholia. De- prived of its freedom, it starves itself to death. Its home range is from sout.hwest‘: ern Canada, southward into Mexico, | and as far east as the prairies of Il- linois. It is especially abundant in| ‘Texas. | If you have the opportunity and can stand the sight, watch the crea- | ture engulf an egg without breaking the shell, or swallow a bird entire. | | The egg is swallowed for a distance of | | 8 or 12 inches, then the snake presses | the portion of the neck holding the | egg firmly upon the ground. Muscles | from either side of the neck are brought into play and between the anterior and posterior pressure the shell is crushed. All parts of the egg | are digested, and a pine snake of 5 feet in length can handle with com- fort four to six eggs at & meal. The gastric juices of the snake take care of feathers, claws and fur. A 100 per | cent digestive apparatus! The total | time for the process of digesting birds | and mammals is from two to three days. ‘The eggs of the bull snake are yel- | lowish-white, with a tough, leathery | shell, and are about the size of a | hen's egg. There are from 10 to 15 found in one nest.

HAL SIMS, Duplication. I RECENTLY received a very touch- ing letter from a resident of the ‘Windy City. The correspondent had, or 50 he informed me, bettled the bridge craze for five years, but the ceascless pounding at the wall of his indiffer- ence had finally worn away his re- sistance. With head bowed, he was even at that moment entering the lists—an unwilling gladiator. ‘The correspondent admitted that he had always pooh-poohed contract. “A puerile game, fit only for dodder- ing graybeards or thwarted child prodigies,” was the way he put it. But he had had no forewarning that it was necessary to be a linguist to play the blasted game. Books and column- ists were only a further aggravation to him. These so-called experts went ahead on the assumption that a word to the wise was sufficient; that a phrase bespoke volumes. “What, for example,” asked the correspondent, “is duplication?” Here is a hand that would be spread for seven, were it not for duplication of values or “the peril of duplication™ —two phrases that roll trippingly off the tongue. North has two little clubs, South has two little clubs. The op- ponents, virtue of their strategic leading position, can cash two club tricks before either North or South gains the lead. Presumbaly fore- warned by the bidding, North will, therefore, reach no higher a contract than four hearts. Since East is not defending against either six or seven he will probably not open the ace of clubs. Let us | assume that he opens a trump. The Muvver made a bad break readin’| “The Babes in the Woods” t' Baby— an eben I don't feel as jolly as I did. | Beggar Leaves $100,000. Among the rotting rags which com- | posed the bed of a beggar in Sombor, Slovenia, was found $60 in gold coins. | Neighbors thought that this was his | sole possession. The man, Mihailo Kornish, died in 8 miserable hole in a sandbank, which was his home, but | when the police inquired into his af- | fairs they found that not only did he possess $60 in cash, but that his bank | balance was $100,000. Many years ago | he had inherited a small fortune, but he was believed to have squandered it all. Many people in the town who dis- | trick is won in the declarer’s hand and the 16 of diamonds playsd. East covers and South wins with the ace. A spade is played back to the ace and the long trump series started. As trump follows trump, East becomes more and more uncomfortable and is finally reduced to discarding his ace of clubs, but to no avail. North, at the end of the long trail has two clubs and a diamond. East, discarding before the board, cannot keep both the king of spades and his guard to the diamond suit. Thus seven is made by a simple squeeze. (Copyright. 1835.) — ‘Wage War on Owl.
