New York's Food-O-Mat Competes With Automat
New York—(UP)—You pick up your can of beans in the Food-o-mat and—zip—another one rolls right down in its place.
The reason is that canned, bottled $\textcircled{4}$
It's the same if you buy a jar of olives or a package of coffee in this newest of self-service stores. Whatever you take from the display is immediately replaced by another of the same.
The reason is that canned, bottled and packaged foods in the Food-o-mat are put on inclined metal slides or chutes. Over the chutes are illuminated signs telling what's for sale. When a customer takes an item the law of gravity goes to work and another slides into its place. Two men working behind the scenes keep the chutes stocked.
Installed In Sections
The Food-o-mat is installed in sections for each type of merchandise. A new store opened by the Grand Union company in Hempstead, LL., is the first to be newlybuilt entirely around the innovation, with 25 sections.
The Food-o-mat, being stocked from behind, keeps loose stock from cluttering floors and really displays what the store has to sell. Its labor-saving and makes shopping easier too. Grand Union says. One of its best features is that it leaves space
enough for some other new ideas that the company hopes will make it a shopper's paradise.

This includes everything from frosty old cuts, already wrapped in cellophane and plainly tagged showing weight and price, so a shopper needn't hang around until a counterman is free to serve her.

If you've ever chased Junior up and down the aisles of a supermarket or spent valuable minutes looking for him when your shopping was finished, there's another innovation that will help—the self-service carts have kiddie-seats attached to them.
Rattlesnakes Make Nice Trophies, But Don't Get Too Chummy,Hunter Says
Bisbee, Ariz.—(UP)—Henry A Smith of Bisbee once looked into a crevice and found a rattlesnake looking him in the eye.
Smith, whose hobby is rattlesnake hunting, vowed then that he'd never lead with his face again.
He started his unusual hobby in 1938 when he killed his longest snake. ___ feet, 10 inches.
He has never been bitten by one, although his trouser leg was once hit. The snake didn't have a chance to strike again.
strike against a snake. Smith advises would-be snake hunters never to go alone. He always takes another person along his Sunday trips in the Arizona desert. A loose pair of riding boots with trouser legs flapping outside to make a less accurate target are a "must" for hunters. Smith carries a snake bite kit of the suction cup type on every hunt.
Sidewinders are the most deadly, with claimed, because of their small size and remarkable speed.
"Rattlesnakes don't always let you know they're around by rattling," Smith said. "Of the 116 I've killed, only five have rattled. But you can smell them. They're worse than skunks."
The southern Arizona hunter has a collection of 140 rattles in a framed case. He plans to add a pair of fangs to the collection. "just so people can see what they look like."
small, after a rattlesnake is flushed and knows you're after it," Smith said, "you get it or it gets you. The only way a snake can't strike is straight up—so watch yourself when you go rattlesnake hunting."7
Arizona Called Site Of Early Culture
Bisbee, Ariz.—(UP)—Evidence has been found to show that the Sulphur Springs valley near here was populated 20,000 years ago, according to Carl Trischak, geologist.
Mr. Trischka said ruins of ancient canals and irrigation ditches have been discovered in the valley, and along with these are articles of civilization far antedating the Indian tribes who occupied that section. This civilization is believed to be one of the earliest known, Trischka said.
