Let me give you an unfaillng metn-
cd for gathering in all the rats for
miles around.

parts full with water. Stand brick

the brick, all round the tub, so as not
to let the water be seen. Then put
slab or board up against the tub for
the rats to run up.
Put a piece of meat as a bait on
the top of the brick, and saturate II
with oil of rhodium. The rats Will
come from all quarters at the very
smell of it. The first rat that runs up
the bridge tries to get at the bait, ana
falls through the brown paper into the
water. He then climbs on to the top
of the brick and starts to squeal.
All the other rats for miles around
come rushing to the aid of their dis
tressed comrade and each one topples
into the water and is drowned. Only
one can occupy the top of the brick at
a time. By this means whole neigh

PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL COURTS
Tribunals First Grated In France
Have Accomplished Good, Accord
ING to This Writer.

AS long ago as 1906 France created
industrial courts, and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land. Italy and Belgium, says George
Creel in the Century. "A president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number of workers and en-
ployers sit as a jury rather than as
court. Lawyers are barred; the par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and in conse-
Quence of this simplicity, 80 per cent
of the cases are adjusted without for
NAL hearings. In event Of threatened
strikes or lockouts. the courts have
the power to sit as boards Of arbitra'
ton, and it is only in rare cases that
satisfactory agreements are not
reached"
Compare the simplicity of this pro
cedure with the American method o!

versed decisions. remanded cases
