Woman crocers.

At the Hammersmith (England) Trade School for Girls the education committee has tried the experiment of holding classes for the instruction and training of girls as grocery assist ants. Up to the present the classes have been well attended, and they will be continued as long as not fewer than 25 students wish to take the course. Practically every student who has passed through the course has secured situation in the grocery trade at very satisfactory wages. It is hoped that six courses per year will be con ducted, and in future every student will be required to pay a registration fee of Is. on joining the classes, which have hitherto been free. It is reported that among the girls who attend there is, on the whole, low standard of gen eral education, especially in spelling, grammar and punctuation. A recom- mendation has, therefore, been made to the council that test in English should be imposed in the case of girls who do not possess certain qualifica- tions.

How Germany Gets Rid of Rats.

German system has been carried out so far that in most cases it has ceased to be a matter for remark. But how many people know all it's qualifications say, to the extermination of rats, for instance? Yet, thanks to this self same system, there are practically no rats in Germany, while here in the United States they do $1OO,OOO,OOO damage annually.
 As soon as rats appear in building or other place, if ordinary methods fail the police are notified of their exist ence and at once an official is detailed to exterminate the rodents. So closely is the matter followed until the effort is successful that rats are seldom seen No charge is made for the services of the official rat catcher. As a conse- quence, there is little or no market for rat exterminators or traps in Ger many.

Increased Grazing Fee Decided On

increased OTQzI12 r ee OecIQeQ O1
 Washington, February 1:-An increase of 25 per cent in the grazing fees on all National For ests, instead of 33 1-3 per cent as was originally contemplated, will be made for the season of 1917, according to the plan an- nounced by Secretary Houston today. Subsequent increases will be based on a study of the local conditions on the individual for ests and will vary in accordance with the facts thus obtained.
 The timber, grasing, water power and other resources of the National Forest which are used for commercial purposes should be charged for at the rate which represents their fair value. /" said Secretary Houston. If a charge only sufficient to cover the cost of administration were made, all of the profits from the com. mercial use of the National For ests would go to a comparatively few individuals instead of to all the people to whom they belong and who are entitled to share their benefits. The charge for grazing should be based upon the the real value of the forage on the National Forest ranges, as determined by a careful survey of all the facts and not by com petitiYe bids, as required in tim Der sales.
 Whether or not the fees charged at present represent a fair value of the forage is the question to be decided. The facts before me clearly indicate the present charge does not represent the full value of grazing privi- leges on the National Forests. "
 Modification of the original plan was decided upon, the Sec retary said, because of the pos sibility of a variation in the real value of grazing on different forests or different localities. and because in a few instances the full proposed increase might not be justified. A specific study, he stated, will be made of the existing conditions upon each of the National Forests. Upon the basis of the facts thus obtained, increases will be made when the real value of the forage upon any forest is found to be more than the amount charged. No addi- tional increase will be made be- fore March l, 1918.
