WAR ON SQUIRRELS

The war Of determination against
squirrels being conducted In California
by the United States Public Health
Service in connection with the precau-
tions against plague. has resulted in
the death Of 20.l 900 rodents. according
to ngures Just announced.
During the epidemic Of plague in
San Francisco in lao7-l9os. It was dis
covered that the ground squirrel, a rural
rodent which abounds on the Pacific
coast. had acquired the infection.
Cases Of plague in human beings which
had occurred in rural districts were
traced in these rodents. The health
service at once decreed their death.
Since 1908 the chief efforts Of the Pub
lie Health Service and the California
State board OF health, acting in cooper
alton. have been directed to eradication
Of plague from among ground squirrels.
The most satisfactory work, 1t 10 stated,
has been accomplished since July 1. 1918,
due to the fact that sufficient funds and
adequate legislation were provided by
the State legislature at its last session.
Ninety per cent Of the squirrels on an
area OF 100000 acres, or about equal
the size OF Connecticut, have been de-
stroyed since July I, 1918. The infection
has almost disappeared in this area
SO effective has been the work Of the
hunters that they have to cover an area
OF twenty six acres to catch one SPUR.

Conversation at a Washington club

many quip relating to their political
experiences. Senator Newell Sanders OF
Tennessee told of quick witted young
aunt.
Some time ago little Dorothy was
being taken on a railroad trip by her
young aunt and aunty's fance. Every
Thing ran along as lovely as great JOY
until the train entered a darksome tun-
mel. and then came a delicious smack
OF a sweet kiss and the voice of the
child:
'Oh, aunty." exclaimed the voice Of
the innocent little Dorothy, please kiss
me- too!'
Some situation. but aunty was quite
equal to 1t. Before the smile Of the
passengers could break into tickled
litter she was calmly addressing the
child.
"It is Incorrect to say Kiss me two,
Dorothy, dear said aunty. You
should say: Kiss me twice st.
