Thousands Cross 'Color Line' Annually LIFTING LIFT $2.00 a Year CHURCH WOMEN TO HOLD SECOND RACE CONFERENCE Spiritual Forces Generated at Former Meeting Demonstrated Great Advantages Obtained by Conference. INTERRACIAL PROGRESS MADE Need Felt for Further Discussion of Many Problems by Outstanding Leaders of Both Races. New York, N. Y.—Because the developments of interracial work among church women have made such strides the past two years and because there are many problems which need further discussion by the white and colored women leaders, the second general interracial conference of church women has been called by the church women's committee on race relations of the Federal Council of Churches, at Eagles Mere Park, Pa., Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18 to 19. "This conference," says Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook, chairman of the women's committee, "comes as a logical development of work done by church women, north and south, greatly stimulated as they have been by the spiritual forces generated at the first conference held at Eagles Mere in September, 1926. Since that meeting a permanent committee, representative of churches and affiliated organizations, such as the Y. W. C. A., has been developed. Local conferences have been held; a number of local committees of white and colored church women have been set up and are actively dealing with the community problems involving the two races that confront them. There are so many things that are now to be discussed by women leaders, white and colored, from all sections of the country, that a second conference is very necessary. This conference will provide, as did the first one, a choice of opportunity for understanding through the fellowship of delegates." A special committee has gathered suggestions from women all over the country and is shaping those suggestions into a program. Some topics to be discussed are: The present status of the Negro in the cultural life of America; his achievements, handicaps and cultural opportunities in America; how Sunday schools and other religious educational organizations can be used for developing friendly racial attitudes; the problem of interracial relations in our mission schools; race relations and religious education; mental and moral attitudes involved in interracial contacts. A full review of experiences of church women during the past two years in dealing with problems that confront them in their local communities and methods they used in dealing with these problems will be considered by the conference. Invitations have been sent out to more than four hundred national, state and district organizations of church women and a number of these organizations have selected their delegates who plan to attend. Among some of the outstanding leaders who are expected to attend and who will take part on the program are Mrs. John Ferguson, president, Council of Women for Home Missions; Mrs. C. P. McGowan, chairman, Interracial committee of South Carolina; Mrs. May Leonard Woodruff, secretary, Woman's Missionary society of the M. E. church; Mrs. J. W. Downs, secretary, Board of Missions, M.

Los Angeles, Cal. — International peace offers the best opportunity for meeting and solving race problems, even the race problem in the United States, declared Miss Ethelwyn Mills, speaking before the 19th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Miss Mills is president of the Los Angeles branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. "It would be far easier to solve the race problem in the United States in times of permanent peace," declared Miss Mills, "than during the catalysm of war. "The governments of the world today stand bristling with suspicion of each other. The white man arrogantly pushes his way through the orient and the yellow peoples in turn are learning the white man's ways of violence, and hurl at him their distrust. We seem to stand only a step or two away from gigantic war, which might easily involve the whole world in unimaginable terror and misery. "One of the greatest obstacles to peace is the fact that war is legal. It is supported by an enormous percentage of all national budgets, almost the entire code of international law, by pulpit, press and platform. It is not a makeshift but an established institution." Miss Mills urged as a personal program for freeing the world of war, that individuals free themselves from prejudice and come to realize that the interests of all races and nations are equally important. ENTERTAINS FOR EASTERN VISITORS Mrs. C. B. Frederick was the charming hostess at the prettiest and most elaborate affair given in Omaha social circles this season when she gave an "At Home" from 4 p. m. to 7 p. m. Sunday at her beautiful residence, 2220 Lake street, honoring her sister-in-law, Mrs. Florence Hurt Level of Detroit, Mich., and little daughter, Nettie Mae. Sharing honors with the guest of honor was Mrs. Maudell Bondrant of Washington, D. C., who is the guest of her mother, Mrs. C. W. Ricks, and Mrs. Madison of Chicago. Seventy of the elite were invited by the hostess to meet her guest, and the ladies responded by wearing their elegant summer afternoon gowns that gave the exquisite effect of the affable hostess' cool and beautiful color scheme of pink and white, a decided touch of midsummer grandeur which was alluring. Mrs. Alfonso Wilson assisted the hostess in assisting. Other friends assisting throughout the parlors and dining room were Mesdames Henry Moore, Addie Holmes, Gooden Ricks, Georgia Brown, and M. Jackson. The dining table was exquisite with its dainty artistic filet linen table-cloth and center of a mound of garden flowers of pink and white, and the pink tall candles lent a striking effectiveness that was enjoyed by all. The cool summer menu served was most delicious. The parlor, with drawn shades and soft lights, was beautiful. Mayor Walker of New York City recently laid the cornerstone of an $8,000,000 home and training school for colored nurses, in connection with Lincoln hospital for Negroes. "Race discrimination must never have a place in the life of our city," said Mayor Walker. "Every man, woman and child coming to a city hospital must be assured of comfort and the best treatment." ross 'Colo EDITORIAL Religion is the stabilizing root of the nation.

The higher the type of religion the higher is the character of the individual and of the civilization which it molds. Among the primitive types of mankind, be it in Europe, Asia, Africa or America, animism has been found to be the prevailing religion with its superstitious cults, practices and codes of morals and conduct. All on a low plane, but clearly a groping in the darkness for something higher and better, a stretching out of the hand, as it were, "to clasp God's hand in that darkness and be lifted up and strengthened." Giving due credit to the great ethnic religions of the world which have influenced untold millions and all of which contain rays of light from that "true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," the highest type of religion and fruitage of all that has preceded it, is Christianity. No higher form of religion than this is conceivable. In it is found that perfect union of God with man, the clasping of the hand of man, the child, within the Hand of God, the Father, Who lovingly leads him ever upward and onward to purer heights of light and love and service. All of this is involved in that great mystery which theologians call the Incarnation and which in the Gospel according to St. John is eloquently expressed in these words: "And the Word (Logos) was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." This is the fact upon which Christianity is founded and there can, therefore, be no higher or fuller revelation than this. Its motivating power is Divine Love, infinite and eternal, and radiating therefrom spring the highest and closest relations between God and man, between mankind throughout the world, and indeed between mankind and the whole creation. It determines man's rightful relation to God, to mankind and to things, animate and inanimate. Brotherhood, with all it involves, is inherent in the Christian religion. And so the hope of America, as that of the world, lies in the living and practice of the Christian religion, which teaches brotherhood and opportunity for all. It is adherence to the faith of our fathers, often imperfectly expressed and perhaps narrowly interpreted, which has led us as a race thus far on our way and if we are to fulfil our God given destiny in this country, it will only come through allegiance to the moral and spiritual standards of the Christian religion. There is no other panacea for the ills and evils and shortcomings of the nation, which affect other groups as well as our own, than not merely the profession of, but, the practice of, the principles of the Christian religion. "Status of Negro Democracy's Test," Declares Spingarn in Striking Address Los Angeles, Cal.—Addressing a monster mass meeting in the Los Angeles Civic auditorium, Sunday afternoon, July 1, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Arthur B. Spingarn, New York attorney and the association's vice president, declared that the acid test of American civilization and democracy centered in the status of the Negro in the United States. In fighting for full citizenship rights for the Negro, asserted Mr. Spingarn, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had stood for fundamental Americanism and he challenged any patriotic organization in the country, including those which have "blacklisted" the Advancement association, to show a parallel record of patriotic achievement during the past two decades. "The acid test of American civilization and the democratic form of government is in their attitude toward and their treatment of the Negro population," said Mr. Spingarn. "What is and should be the position of the least protected and the least advantaged group in a democracy? "Theoretically, everybody in America believes that all the people should have the equal protection of the law and equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The time has come to take stock and see which of the organized groups in America that attempts to perpetuate these American ideals, has tried practically to bring about a condition where these ideals could be fulfilled. "We invite a comparison of the self styled patriotic groups which recently have set themselves as arbiter of Americanism and have seen fit to find this organization wanting, with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Has any of these groups a constructive program which will bring about the safety of the individual, larger opportunity for education and training in true Americanism, the carrying out of the principles of the constitution of the United States, the increase of the wealth of the submerged and the making of a richer life for all citizens?

But, alas, that program has deteriorated into an attempt to create a privileged class in America, reaching its apotheosis in the presentation of the president of that organization at the Court of St. James. "The patriotic societies typified by the Keymen of America which started to prevent sedition and keep down obstructionists during the war, have developed into Keyhole Men of America, whose chief business is to suppress any freedom of thought and whose nadir is found in a blacklist which includes as dangerous radicals such men as Chief Justic Taft. The Ku Klux Klan stands revealed on its record as an organization whose aim is the spread of hatred and whose method is terrorism and corruption. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, throughout its career of almost two decades, has stood for procuring to all American citizens the rights which they are entitled to under the fundamental laws of the United States, by orderly processes of government and the courts. We have stood and fought for and won the fundamental rights for which the pilgrim fathers came to this country, for which the patriotis fought in the War of the Revolution and in defence of which the Civil War was begun. "We have stood for tolerance and the equal rights of every American citizen. We have stood for the right of every American child to receive an education and by our victories at Toms River, N. J., and in Gary, Ind., we have made good this stand. We have stood for the right of every human being to live a healthy life, to be born and bred among hygienic conditions instead of darkness and filth. Our segregation cases, carried to the highest court of the land, have prevented ghettoes, the pestilence of the old world. We have stood, in the celebrated Grandfather Clause and Texas White Primary cases, for the right of franchise and its integrity. Our victory in the Texas White Primary case has broken the first stone for the road that will lead to universal suffrage in America.

FIVE THOUSAND NEGROES YEARLY CROSS COLOR LINE Industrial Proscription Forcing Thousands to Leave Race and Pass for Whites, Declares Bishop. Los Angeles, Cal.—That five thousand Negroes of light color "pass" and become to all intents and purposes white people, was the assertion of Bishop J. W. Martin, of the A. M. E. Zion church, addressing a mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its 19th annual conference here. "Fully five thousand Negroes of lighter hue are forced 'over the line' each year, in order to get a chance to win their daily bread at the kind of work they love best and for which they are best fitted," declared Bishop Martin. "I know the mayor of a certain town who is a white man now, but as a boy he was as good a Negro as the community had, and his brother is to this day a good colored preacher. We want the doors of all professions and trades, of all skilled and unskilled labor opened to us and we want them opened wide enough for us to get in without having to 'pass.' "An equal opportunity to spend and to be spent along with any and all groups in this country is the demand made in behalf of the Negro. We want no special favors, but just a chance to shoot from taw and keep on shooting until the game is ended." any group to be poor and degraded. By teaching manhood rights and by the cultivation of the genius of the American Negro; by finding opportunity for its expression in literature and art; by the publication of The Crisis magazine and the impetus that its publication and maintenance has given to numberless other literary godchildren; and by our insistence upon obedience to civil rights laws, we are bringing about a condition where the degradation of the Negro group as a group can no longer be thought of as possible. Negro Farmers and Peonage "By fighting restrictions which have prevented free use of opportunity for larger economic development we are helping to bring about a condition which has permitted untold thousands of Negroes throughout the country to own their own farms and to develop them so that no longer is it possible to think of the Negro as a perpetually impoverished group. "By our fight against peonage, particularly in Arkansas, we have helped to bring about a condition making it impossible to exploit this or any other group. Nay, more, in winning the cases of the colored farmers in Arkansas, we brought about a condition where, by mandate, the highest court of this country proclaims that justice must be meted out to the very lowliest and that justice will not be satisfied with an idle gesture but that it must be real justice. "We have done much to remove the shame of America, lynching and mob murder, and to make this an orderly country. It is conceded that it was the fight against lynching begun and carried on by this association which made lynching a national issue and drastically reduced the number of these horrors so that this year, for the first time in the 39 years during which records have been kept, we could report the first four months free from this blot. "I said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People welcomes a comparison with any other patriotic society in America. I might say that looking back at our record we challenge any organization in the United States to point to a record of achievement for such a period which has evinced and made for so much genuine patriotism to our common land." 2 Whole Number 675 CLARION CALL FOR FRIENDLY LIVING BY TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL Moton Exhorts Vast Commencement Audience to Follow Christian Methods in Race Relations. AMERICA'S SUPREME CHANCE Opportunity Is Hers to Show World That Different Races Can Live Together in Peace and Amity. Atlanta, Ga.—"America has a supreme opportunity to show the world that two races radically different can live side by side in peace and friendship and work out their destiny together in mutual helpfulness," said Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, before an interracial commencement audience of 1,500 that packed and over-ran the Sisters' chapel of Spelman college. "We have not yet learned fully how to do it," continued Dr. Moton, "but thousands of sincere people of both races are working at it honestly, and encouraging progress is being made." Taking as his text the parable of the Good Samaritan as illustrating the second of Jesus' great laws, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," Dr. Moton showed how the parable applies perfectly to the inter-racial situation in America today, and made a powerful plea for an unselfish, Christianlike love of humanity that will make each race kindly, just and helpful in its attitude toward the other. Such an attitude, he insisted, offers the only hope for the solution of the inter-racial problem. It will work and nothing else will, he said, basing his confidence on many striking incidents from his own observation and experience. "If I could keep only one of Jesus' two great laws," said Dr. Moton, "I would choose to keep the second; for I very much doubt if there is any way by which a man may really love and serve God except by loving and serving his fellowmen. Whether you can measure up to that standard even though your neighbor be your enemy, is the test of both your education and your religion, for the primary purpose of each is to prepare people to get along together in friendly helpfulness." Dr. Moton spoke in high terms of the inter-racial movement of the hundreds of southern women who have gone on record in condemnation of lynching and in behalf of a fair deal in race relations. The occasion of Dr. Moton's address was the joint commencement sermon of Spelman and Morehouse colleges, which brought out the largest audience assembled in the Sisters' chapel since its dedication last spring by its donor, John Dr. Rockefeller, jr. Miss Florence M. Read, Spelman's new president, occupied the chair and presented the speaker. The scripture was read by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse, and prayer was offered by Dr. M. S. Davage, president of Clark university. Several beautiful musical numbers were rendered by the students under the skilled direction of Prof. Kemper Harreld.

What do you think our answer was—what would yours have been? We really would like to know. Our answer was "Yes, we do believe that that time will come. It is no doubt very, very far away. We believe, however, that it will eventually come because we believe in the ultimate triumph of righteousness." "You predicate your faith, then, I see, upon the fulfilment of the Gospel and from that viewpoint you may be right; but, sir, as I review history and study human nature as it is to days, always has been and it seems to me always will be, I can never conceive of a time, as long as the world lasts when might will not be considered right by those who have power," replied our questioner. Are we right or is our questioner right? We would like to have an expression of opinion from our readers. CROSSING THE LINE A speaker at the recent annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made the statement, that passed unchallenged, that five thousand persons who, by America's peculiar reversal of mathematical principles, are classified as "Negros," cross the line and "pass" as "white persons," which as a matter of fact they are. They merge their racial identity with that of the dominant group not willingly, but reluctantly, because of economic pressure. They "pass" because of the economic and industrial advantages thus accruing. Having ability for certain lines of employment they know full well how extremely difficult it is in the vast majority of cases, should it be known that Church they are "colored," to secure such employment that they "cross the line," with many heart breakings and misgivings at first for blood and race cause a tugging at the heartstrings. We know whereof we speak for we have had the confidence of some, both in high and more lowly, but successful, stations, who have crossed the line, sometimes only partially, and temporarily, sometimes fully and permanently. We had a godson who held high official rank in the service of the government whose racial identity was never suspected. His brother and sister, too, naturally "crossed the line" and married on that side. This is fact, not hearsay, which can be duplicated in thousands of cases. Some suggestive facts in this connection are given by Prof. Reuter of Iowa State University, in his able and impartial volume on "America's Race Problem" and by other students of this subject. It would seem, then, that the very thing America seeks to avoid, or pretends it would like to prevent, mulattonizing the nation she is hastening by her short-sighted policy of excluding from certain occupations persons on the ground of color and race. A study of the census which reveals that many "Negroes" "made themselves air into which they vanish," will disclose the fact, no doubt startling to many, that instead of there being 5,000 who annually "cross the line" and "pass as white," this figure is far too low. Enlarged industrial, social and cultural opportunities will check this at present increasing whiteward racial flow for none, paradoxical though it may seem, has a greater love for his sun-liveried race, than he who from his color would seem the least to be bound to it by blood ties.

Though success is a relative term, it is more or less, a definite object toward which humanity strives. It is like an ideal rising as it is approached. One encouraging feature of success, however, is that it is not necessarily an attribute of old age, affording reflections of contentment. It may come early as an inspiration to others who strive. One prominent evidence of successful achievement among our younger men is that of Dr. James Tyree Lewis, who was recently graduated from the University of Nebraska college of medicine. He will be remembered by his genial disposition, and his remarkable ability to forge ahead. Dr. Lewis was born in Monticello, Ark., and came to Omaha when he was $1\frac{1}{2}$ years old. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Lewis of 2604 North Twenty-fifth street, and the brother of Joseph D. Lewis. In 1921, Lewis was graduated from Omaha Central High school, and it was while attending this school that he first exhibited those characteristics which DELIBERATE were destined to carry him to higher achievements. While in Central High, he was one of the very few to be commissioned an officer in the high school regiment, attaining the rank of captain of commissary, the highest rank ever held by one of his race. He was a member of the interclass debate, Hi "Y", and was "Captain of Plymouth," in the road show, positions never held by a race student before. In athletics, his career was equally as remarkable, holding a position on the track team, as well as on the football squad. Lewis, after finishing at Central High, took up his pre-medic work at the University of Omaha and while there he continued with the same spirit which made him prominent at Central. He was treasurer of the University Glee club. There he again won the admiration and respect of both races, by his genial disposition and studious nature. Dr. Lewis is the first of his race to graduate from the University of Nebraska college of medicine, receiving his degrees of Bachelor of Science, and Doctor of Medicine. He has secured an appointment from the Kansas City General hospital, No. 2, at Kansas City, Mo., as an interne, where he will serve for two years, to further equip himself, before he enters into the practice of medicine.

Fort Morgan, Cole.—After living for ‘30 years in the mountains of western Colorado as a primitive cave man. sbunning human society, bunting for his food, and wearing the skins of ant- mals for clothes. Reuben Dove, sixty- two years old, has at last been forced to seek the society of his fellow men and has decided to spend the rest of his life in that human society that formerly he avoided. When Dove was a young man, dur- Ing the early ‘Ws, an agent for a rail- road that was building in the Cen- tennial state contracted with bim to furnish a large oumber of railroad ties For these be offered Dove « good price. The young man labored hard during the winter. and when the agent came around he had a con- siderable supply of ties on hand. But the railroad man rejected about one fourth of the ties, saying that the com- pany would not take such poor stuff. Dove thought this a grave injustice and he declared on the spot that we would never do another day's work for any man. This vow he has kept for nearly a third of a century. Before leaving the pile of ties he made a bonfire of it. and with some of his belongings went back into the Rockies, where be dwelt in a cave for more than 39 years. When be had been missed for sev- eral months a forest ranger went to his cave and found him {ll with a raging fever. He was taken to a hos pital and later to the home of a rela tive, where he will spend the remain- der of his days. He was known as the “hermit of Hubbard Park.” Moslem Maidens Win Right to Inheritance Aleppo, Syria—Mohammedan maid- ens henceforth will uave @ right to share the inheritance of their fathers with the sons of the family. The court st Aleppo recently ruled that the French law concerning open successions should apply in the part of Syria under French .nandate. Heretofore the Koranic law provid ing that everything should go to the sons of the family. leaving the eirls to look out for themselves—or tor hushands—has applied. During the court trial the rights of women to bave a slice of the family financial pie in Syria were upheld by Henry Lemery, senator from Martinique in the French parliament. It was est! mated that $3,000,000 were repre sented by the claims of women that would be affected immediately by the court decision. ‘The men of Syria have no. taken kind'y to the decisio.. In order to put their women folk back in their old places they have appealed trom the Aleppo decision before the Su- preme court at Beyreath. Bicycle Is Main Vehicle for Holland’s Population Leyden, otand.—Eicyces are more frequent in Holland than automobiles in the United States. ‘There is a “rijwiel,” or bike, to every 2% inhab- ftante. ‘In a university town like Ley- den virtually every student, male or female, owns a wheel. The great popularity of the bicycle 1s attributable to the fact that there are practically no hills in Holland. The importance of the bicycle i recognized by the authorities in that they provide separate “rijwiel pads” or bleyele roads running parallel to the automobile and horse-drawn ve hicle roads. ‘The pedestrian tn Holland must take far greater care not to be run over by a bicycle than by an automo. bile. Woman Scents Thieves by Scent They Stole Berlin. — Three bold gentlemen burglars, their pockets bulging with booty, were lelsurely descending the staircase of an apartment house tn the Berlin suburb of Steglitz one night when # couple. occupants of the apartment just rifled. came walking up. The thieves excited no suspicion until the wife sniffed the air. “Why that's my own scent,” she exclaimed. ‘Then the men started to run.

MOTOR BOAT RUNS ON SEAWEED PATCH Lobster Fisher Makes Use of Veidins tagmabin: East Harpeweil, Maine —Patching a motor engine with seaweed and mak- ing it run is the latest achievement of Yankee ingenuity. When Carroll Merriam started for @ trip in his motor boat to haul bis lolgter pots he found that nocturnal marauders tad stripped bis craft ‘They stole oars, brass running lights, six cells of battery and ollskins, and, worst of all, they cut bis six-foot copper gasoline feed line connecting the tank with the carburetor. With no place within miles where be could obtain copper pipe, with no near neighbors and with an order to furnish Bfty fine lobsters at 50 cents & pound for a noontime shore dinner. Merriam showed that Yankee Inge nuity still dourishes. He had a battery for a radio set in his home, and this he soom connected with his motor. Then he rowed his dory out « few hundred yards to the Seal ledges, where he found a piece of kelp or devil's apron with an eight-foot stem that was hollow. Taking this ashore, he pushed one end over the end of the ‘severed pipe projecting from his fuel tank and the other end left at the carburetor. Wrapping them tightly many times from a roll of friction cape, he thus improvised out of the hollow stalk a fuel pipe line that enabled him to haul his traps and Gll bis order, Begin Classifying of 7,200 Kinds of Plants Washington. — The classification and identification of a large col- lection of tropical flowers, ferns and plants gathered last winter in the lofty mountains and dense jungles of east- ern Colombia, some of which have never before been seen by an Ameri- can, 1s the summer's task confronting Dr. Ellsworth P. Killip and Albert C. Smith of the Smithsonian institution. Doctor Killip, assistant curator, and Mr. Smith, collaborator in the division of plants of the national museum, spent four months in the eastern cor- dillera of Colombia north of the Bo- gota region and brought back nearly 30,000 specimens representing about 7.200 varieties of plant life These included $00 “collecting num- bers” of ferns, 300 of-orchids, more than 200 of the mimosa and cassia families, about 7% morning glories and 100 passion flowers. Sets of the spec imens have been distributed among the various institutions co-operating in the expedition, which was part of the botanical exploration of northern South America begun in 1917 by the New York Botanical Garden, the Gray Herbarium of Harvard university, and the Nationa) museum. Mound Builders Were Mongoloids From Asia Quincy, 11L—That the [ilinois mound builders are to be classed with the American Indians, and that they are not @ mysterious Asiatic race, is the beliet of Prof. William M. Krogman of the Uulversity of Chicago, here with Prof Faye Cole of the depart ment of anthropology, to conduct ex- plorations. It ts Krogman’s theory that the Im dians were a mongoloid people from Asia who made their way to this coun- try by way of the Aleutian chain of islands and them gradually spread in many directions. The migration, Grogman thinks, came in successive waves, new arri- vals from Asia, eoming and pushing the tribes that were previously bere further south, east and west. ‘The period of initial migration ts placed at 10.000 years ago. The first comers bad the Neolithic, or late Stone age culture, using stone weapons and ornaments, while the dog was the ‘only domesticated animal. Centuries later, after the Spanish came, the Indians began to use horses. Krogman traced the formation of the Maya, Aztec and Inca settlements 1a North and South America and which developed a comparatively high elvilt- ‘ation Seek Snake Antidote Tucson.
