TRADE IN RAT SKINS STARTED

Seattle Post-ntelligencer
One of tho side results OF the cru
aade against rats in all of the greaI
ports of the world has been to develop
Il market for rat skins and create a
considerable trade demand for them
British publication records that dur.
ing the past year rat skins TO the
value of nearly 100000 were sold in
London. They were used, among
other things, for book binding, photo.
graph frames. purses and for the
thumbs of ladies gloves. Another new
use has developed for them, not stated
In the article, which promises to in
crease the demand very largely.
A similar story comes from Den
mark, where 1t is added that since
The rat act was passed many previous
ly unemployed have earned from a
10 90 cents day in capturing rats
In all parts of Europe many people
are now employed In capturing rats
both for the value of their skins am
TO earn the bounties which are pait
for their destruction. II some inge
nious crook does not take up the bust
ness of breeding rats for the bount,
II is quite possible that they may b,
completely exterminated within few
years.
The crusade against rats wa
brought about originally TO avoid tn
possibility of the distribution of plagu
germs through their agency. Whel
the subject came up careful inve,
legation showed. further, that rats Dc
stroyed annually property to an e,
trnoriinary value. What was starte

Mason male his score at the OPEN

failed to touch or come within
c'ose range of him.
There is much speculation in CO.

is only logical to believe that 1t
might win the Ohio tournament.

total of 615 He will bowl today
in the individual tournament and
in case that he does not triumph
over Mason it is probable that the
honors will fall to the local star.
