REFUSED TO EAT MATCHES
Experiment Proved That Rats and
Mice Have Been UnjustIy Accused
of Causing Fires.

Rats, mice and matches have long
been considered a source of fires. An
Investigator, however, after extensive
experiment, reports, in Safety En-
gineering, that there is no real founda-
tion for the popular idea. A large num-
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 a quiet
spot in cellar In every case the ami
mails starved to death or ate their COM
panions. Not match head or splint
was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and of different varieties
from the strike-on-the box to the

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 were
conducted with mice and the same re-
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
four days in order to permit the ami
mails to become accustomed to their
surroundings and act normally. A
greater variety Of matches was used
in this test The rats were imprisoned
together in this case and many were
gnawed and eaten by their compan-
ions.

The question of the post-oilice site
has finally been settled The north
side wins. The Office will be located

the small building now occupying the
selected site will be removed.

side would be successful in securing
the post Office, and many are the quer-

all backward about it, for we assure
them that even should his subscription
list be doubled, Jere's modesty would
not permit him to ascribe the increase

violinist, and both girls will doubtless
receive special instruction while
abroad. George Sharp, seventeen
years old. returned from Paris only
about a month ago, dispatched by his
father as special envoy to escort
his mother, sisters and brothers
abroad. The other children are vii.
liam, fourteen years old, Baxter, ten.
All have had some instruction in
French and have read considerable
concerning the present situation
abroad.
"We consider 1t the greatest posi-.
bic compliment to be described as a
typical American family" said Mrs.
Sharp.
"We're Buckeyes" spoke up Baxter
proudly
"Yes," said his mother, 1--WE were
all born and brought up in Ohio and
our parents before u.s."
The children, with the exception of
George, have never been in Europe
and are naturally little excited over
going.
"They like experiences" said their
mother, land confess l do, too"
But no desire for experiences is
taking Mrs. Sharp and the little
Sharps abroad, for they all realize
the horror of life there. 1t is solely
for the sake of the ambassador, hus.
band and father, that they are leaving
the land they love.

plans except to transfer her home
and all it means from Washington
avenue, Elyria, to Paris-for how
long she has no idea.

REMOVAL
Of Trees As Viewed B,
Director White

When asked Wednesday about the
injunction proceedings instituted to
prevent him from removing trees
from the public square, Public Ser
vice Director William Fl. White stat.
ed that the necessary part of the
tree removing had been accomplishe ed
and the Injunction proceedings would
therefore not materially affect the
original plans.
The director called attention to the
fact that the tree removed from the
southwestern part of the square was
practically dead and that it would
have been necessary to dig it out be.
fore another year had elapsed.
Although it was originally planned
to remove three trees, it was not i'm.
perative that the tree still standing
should be removed, the director stat
ed.
Public sentiment seems divided on
the matter. Public square business
men and city officials highly favor the
removal of the trees, but number OF
South Main street merchants and citi
zens outside of the business district
are greatly wrought up over the mat
ter.
