"The graspin'est man 1 ever
knowed," said Uncle Jerry PEBBLES,
was an old chap named Snoopins.
Somebody told him once that when
he breathed he took in oxygen and
gave out carbon. He spent a whole
day tryin' to find out which of them
two gases cost the most If you had
to buy 'em. He wanted to know
whether he was maxim or losin'
money when he breathed."

Immens. pamaa. BY Rats.

No animal is more destructive to
property or more dangerous to human
health than the rat. The damage it
does to property runs up into figures
which stagger the imagination. 1t is
estimated that there are in the United
States at least 5000 900, 900 rats. They
destroy a hundred million dollars
worth of grain in this country every
year, or enough to feed one hen for
every man, woman and child in the
nation. The total annual cost of rats
10 the nation is estimated at $3.50, OOO,-
900.

SENATE FILIBUSTER
GRINDS THROUGH NIGHT
Democrats Force Continuous Sessions
to Fight Out Battle on Ship
Purchase Bill.

Determined to commence heroic meas
ures against the Republican hlibuster on
the ship-purchase bill without further
delay. the Democratic leaders last night
threw the Senate into an aIl-night ses-
sion. At press time this morning the ses-
sion was still grinding its weary way
through the hours, with the prospect Of
a continuation throughout today and pos
sibly without interruption until the fill
buster is broken.
Senator Lodge, who relieved Senator
Smoot shortly after l o'clock, was filling
the time and the Record at an early
hour.
The Republicans settled down in a busi-
ness-like manner 70 resist the extreme
tactics of the Democrats, and the Re
publican leaders boast they can con-
tinue Indefinitely without losing the floor
for a minute, and without overtaXing the
strength of their followers.
The Democrats last night placed their
caucus substitute for the ship purchase
bill in a position where the roll may be
called the moment any Republican fill
busterer is caught mapping.
1t was shortly after o'clock last even
ing that Senator Fletcher, taking advan-
tage Of an opportunity presented the sub
stitute bill as agreed upon in caucus and
moved its adoption. Senator Gore de-
manded the yeas and nays and the chair,
Senator Swanson presiding. held the yeas
and nays to have been ordered. Under
this ruling il the Republicans are caught
mapping at any time the roll call on the
substitute will begin and cannot then be
stopped.
