REFUSED TO EAT MATCHES
Experiment Proved That Rate ana
Mice Have Been Unjustiy Accused
Of Causing Fires.

Rats, mice and matches have long
been considered q source of fires. An
investigator. however. after extensive
experiment, reports. in Safety En-
cheering. that there Is no real founds-
ton for the popular idea. A large mum.
Der of rats we're caught at different
times and confined In cages with the
ends open for observation. Matches
were then placed in the cages. but no
food. and the rats were left In Q quiet
spot In a cellar. In every case the ami
mails starved to death or ate their com
pantons. Not match head or splint
was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and of different varieties
from the strike-on-the-bo box to the
double-ttp and the common parlos
match. A second series of tests was
conducted in a cage measuring more
than six feet square. The results
were the same.
In all cases the rats were without
food from two to three days, then the
matches were introduced and the rats
died from starvation within one to five
days after. Like experiments weso
conducted with mice and the same ~
suits obtained, the mice being hungry
from two to three days. then the
matches were introduced and death
followed in one to FIVE days. In the
larger cages the rats were fed for
periods varying from twenty to forty.
four days In order to permit the ant
mails to become accustomed to theiS
surroundings and act normally. 4
greater variety of matches was used
in this test. The rats were imprisoned
together in this case and many wero
gnawed and eaten by their compan.
ions.

In revolutionizing agriculture.
"This is what caused me to appeal,
to the boys in the interest of good
roads. My plan is to have every rural

leading from the schoolhouse, to plant

prove the road. believe that one
such piece of model road In each COM
munity will arouse SO much interest
and SO much pride that communities
will vie with each other in road i'm

I'm this manner, having the hearty
cooperation of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction, an educa-
tfonal campaign can be started in the
schools of our state that in time will
become most important factor and
be the means Of perfActing the consoli-
dated rural school system throughout
the state. sincerely believe that as
much interest can be aroused, and as
many benefits be brought to the young
people as are coming to them through
the statewide movement of the or
ganization Of clubs to promote the
growing Of corn. The two movements
will at least harmonic. and neither
will be in the way Of the other.

engineer visit the schools. following
the organization Of the clubs. and pro-
coed to lay out one.fourth or one-half

club shall assist in the survey. the
