Seven years of hunting snakes, dur-
ing which he has caught as many
as 100 a day, have taught Larry
Kersten, of McGregor, Iowa, that
most popular beliefs about rattle-
snakes are fallacies.
One such notion blasted. by Ker-
sten is that the rattler’s age can be
told by the number of buttons on
the rattle.
The truth is, according to the rep-
tile hunter, that rattlers grow a
button every time they shed their
skins and that is two or three times
a year.
Kersten just laughs at the belief
that a rattler won’t strike unless
coiled.
“The fact is,” he said, “the snake
assumes the shape of a letter S, then
straightens out when it strikes.”
Early in the spring, Kersten takes
to the hills with a gunny sack, heavy
gloves and a pair of homemade
tongs. He seizes a rattler just back
of the head with the tongs, snips
out the poisonous fangs while it
threshes madly about and maneu-
vers it into the sack.
He has collected as much as $700
a year in snake bounties.

Ice Cold Melons
Apple for an Actor
A phrase in the Barrymore family
which has become a tradition is
“Speak your piece and you will get
a big red apple.” When Ethel Bar-
rymore was to play her first lead-
ing part in New York, John Drew
sent her an apple. Throughout his
lifetime he observed the custom on
first nights. When Ethel Barrymore
Colt made her debut, her Uncle
Lionel sent an apple from Holly-
wood.

Parking Answer
Stepping forward with a solution
to the ever troublesome parking
problem recently was Miss Con-
stance Kiehel, an economic analyst
for the. Social Security board at
Washington. After extensive re-
search Miss Kiehel has found, that
it’s cheaper to park illegally in con-
gested downtown areas and be fined
than to pay for parking privileges.
Although she has received four
parking tickets in the last few
months and 22 in the last few years,
she cited that her system costs
much less than $1 a week.

Largest Meteorite
Biggest meteorite ever dug out of

in Mexico; it is a mass of iron
weighing about 50 tons. In western
Arizona, there is a mile-wide crater
believed to have been dug by a giant
meteor in prehistoric times. What
was probably the earth’s largest
visitor was the prodigious Podka-
mennaya Tunguska body—possibly a
small comet—which crashed into
northern Siberia in 1908. It dented
