RATS AND MICE
FORM WORSTPES
Disease Fatal to Man Carried
Throughout Country
by Rodents

Rats and mice are among the
worst animal pests in the world, ac-
cording to biologists of the L. S. De-
partmtat of Agriculture.
F'ro:l their home among filth they
visit dwellings and storerooms to pol
lutte and destroy human food.
The rat carries bubonic plague and
many other diseases fatal to man
and has no uoubt been responsible
for more untimely deaths among HUI
man beings than all wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, in fac
tories, stores and warehouses, in cars
and on ships. crops. poultry, and
other property valued at more than
100000, ,000-an amount equivalent
10 the gross earnings of an army of
200, 900 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats
and mice on many farms, would pay
all the farmers taxes.
Rats and mice breed from 6 to 10
times, a year, producing their destruc-
tive kind at an alarming rate.
They are parasites without sin
gle redeeming characteristic.
Following are suggestions how
states, communities and individuals
can help eliminate rats and mice.
BY requiring that all new buildings,
wharves, and other structures be rat
proof; that existing buildings of rat
proof construction be further pro-
tected by having basement windows
and drains covered with screens,
gratings. etc. and that existing build
ings that are not rat proof be made
so by remodeling.
BY constructing sewers and drains
SO that they Will not provide entrance
and retreat for rats.
Bv insisting on greater cleanliness
about markets, stores. and generally
throughout cities, villages, and the
country districts.
Fly threshing and marketing grain
early so that stacks will not furnish
harboring places and food for rats.
BY removing piles of straw, trash
and lumber which harpor rats in
fields and vacant lots.
BY protecting the hawks. owls and
other natural enemies of rats which
rats themselves.
BY keeping well-trained rat dogs
on farms ana about city warehouses.
BY keeping provisions which rats
and mice will attack, in rat proof
and mouse proof containers.
BY destroying rats and mice syste-
matically by poisoning, trapping and
by organized systematic hunts.
BY arousing public opinion to the
realization of the importance of eX-
terminating rats and mice.

GOOD WEATHER
PERMITS MUCH
PARK PLANTING
Department Making Extens-
i've Improvement at Pump
ing Station Plaza

Excellent weather conditions tor
fall planting has given the City Park
Department opportunity TO make
much progress in the extensive work
planned in the treatment of River
Front Park, During the last few
weeks a number of workmen have
been kept busy planting trees and
making other big Improvements
along the entire length OF the park
from Division street to Iron alley,
At present from Walnut north to
BoaS streets elm trees are being
planted along the curb and black and
pin oaks are being scattered through
the strip of parkway. Birches which
have died out also are being re-
placed along the outside of the path.
Probably the biggest Improvement
which is now under way is at the SlN
pumping station and the approach
10 the plaza overlooking the front
steps" ON the north side the grade
of the path has been increased to
give better drainage, It has been
covered with a heavy top of cinder
which Will be rolled after which Il
coating of fine crushed stone viii
be added. on the inside of the path
4 gutter OF sod, six feet wide, has
been constructed to carry off the wa E
ter in a heavy rain, preventing any
wash on the path. on the other side
of the path at the top of the enl-
hankment $50 barberry bushes will
be planted.
Many Trees Planted
The southern path also will be
changed and the walk from the plaza
TO the top OF the front steps is be-
ing changed TO prevent any wash Of
dirt from the embankment along
which will be planted another $50
harberry bushes. For many weeks
these changes have been contem-
plated TO improve the drainage con-
ditions and beautify the grounds sur
rounding the pumping station.
North of the Hardscrabble dis
trict to the city line all the dead and
damaged elms have been replaced by
small trees taken from the city nurS-
cry.
In the park south of Paxton street,
during the last few weeks ninety
trees have been planted, the Park
Department using the following va
rieties from the nursery: Twenty
two pin oaks, eight Norway naples,
forty-one birches. and nineteen elmS.
In Harris Park six elmS have been
planted; opposite the Harrisburg
Hospital FIVE were placed and under
the Mulberry street bridge recently
completed. $50 kerria and 200 bar
berry shrubs have been planted
North of Market street four big
elms were planted. one of them be
ing dedicated to Lieutenant Henry
NJ. Gross by Ned, John and Mary
Campbell, grandchildren OF Commits
sioner +. H. Gross, superintendent of
the Park Department. other trees
planted in this section include three
birches. two black oaks and two

HER FLUID MEMORY

 Its funny I can't recall what it is, because l was so particular about charging my mind with it. It is per fectly easy to remember anything ii you make a sort of system of it. When Mrs. DOxmere sent me her new ad- dress I said to myself 3S64 Edgemere terrace. l can remember because there are three persons in the DoX- mere family, and is easy because when she bought that new tablecloth she said it made eight that she owned $ is half a dozen and anybody can remember that, and 4-well if the Doxmere baby had been twins there would be four instead of three in the family! You see? Just by associat- ing ideas you can ofxe anything in your mind
 T have never forgotten those num- bers, but l still do have difficulty in getting them in their proper order. The first time I went to see Mrs. Dox- mere I hunted up No. 6S43 Edgemerc terrace and never did find her and then I wrote and sent it to 4S63 and it came back-but you can see that l did rcmember the number all right, which is certainly something. Lots of wo- men have to depend So on their ad- dress books and goodness knows you can't carry an address book around with you every minute!
 "Oh. went to that Red Cross meet ing last Monday that you told me about-and there wasn't the sign of a meeting. Not soul to be seen. What! You say you said Thursday instead of Monday? I don't see how it is possible because I remembered it bv Mondays being wash day and washing is certainly a cross to bear if you are the laundress! My sisters laundry work is done on Thursdays, though; perhaps. I was thinking of that,
 These tomatoes certainly do hayS a funny color. don't they? And they taste queer. Still some people might like the flavor very well.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Cambrai.-"The vast importance to both belligerents of the town of Cam brai 121 miles northeast Of Paris and 20 miles southeast of Arras, is due in very large measure to the railways which radiate from it spoke-like fash ion, as from the hub of a wheel says war geography bulletin issued today from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society
 Seven railroads meet and cross each other at this little city of 30 900 in- habitants which clings to slope ris- ing from the right bank of the River Scheldt. Fully to appreciate the value Of this military depot one needs only to realize the territory which it's rail- roads cover. If we should GTaw a north and south line through the town four of it's railroads would be found branch ing off in an eaSterly direction, and three to the west. The two main lines on the eastern side extend to Valen- ciennes, 2s miles to the northeast, and to BuSigny 16 miles to the southeast. The latter line passes through CaudTy, a town of II 900 inhabitants, and after reaching Busigny turns in a south westerly direction to St. Quentin. The two less important lines are those run ming to Le Cateau, 16 miles distant. with important woolen and spinning mills and to Solesmes. linen manu- featuring town B miles away.
 '"The lines of the western sector run nrothwestward to Douai 16 miles away,
  station on the important Arras- Arniens railway line, and southward to St. Quentin on the Sonme and to Chaulnes, this line branching east and west at Roisel.
 eCanrbrai lies to the north and slight ly east of Paris, 121 miles distant by rail. via St. Quentin and Busigny, and 128 miles by way of St. Just. Chaulnes and Peronne
 Before the war the town was quite an important manufacturing city. with extensive soap works, sugar mills and textile factories. Of course, it's chief distinction from an industrial stand point is the fact it was here that Bap- tiste Coutaing, the weaver. is supposed to have made the first cloth which now beare the name of 'cambric," in honor of the town, and the fine muslin called "batiste," which connmemorates. the achievement of the weaver. It was in che 18th century that cambric was in- vented.
 "Cambraf occupies an important place in medieval French history. It was here that the famous League of Cambrai was formed in. 1908, the mem bers of the league being Pope Julius III the Emperor Maximifian I, Louis XII of France, and Ferdinand, king of Aragon. The primary object of the ai- lies was the overthrow of Venice, which would have been fully accomplished had not mutual jealousies defeated the chief aim of the alliance.
 Twenty years after the forua- tion of this famous league an almost equally famous peace was signed here by Louise of Savoy, representing her son. Francis T of Franca, and Margaret of Austria, representing her nephew the Emperor Charles V. This treaty which owing to it's feminine signato- rfes. became known as the "Paix des Dames," put an end to the plans for a duel between Francis and Charles. This sing1e-handed battle had been proposed as a means of settling the differences between the two monarchs

SAN FRANCISCO MOUNTAIN.
 -4--- Highest Peak in the Southwest.

The San Francisco volcanic field, Arizona, covering an area of about 5000 square mics south of the Ora nd Canyon of the Coloraao, is interest. ingly described by% the United Stat5s Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, in Professional Paper 76. There is considerable matter in the book that will be of interest to the student of physical geography.
 The field takes its name iron, San Francisco Mountain, whose elevation of 12,611 feet makes it the highest peak in the Southwestern states and by far the most prominent landmark of the Colorado Plateau. Flagstaff a town of 800 inhabitants, lies 10 miles south of San Francisco Mountain, and all the more important points of inter est in the field may be reached by wagon.
 The report contains brief descrip- tion Of the geography of the field and gives detailed descriptions of the vol canoes and lava fields. It sets forth the volcanic history of the region and corre!ates the periods of eruption t'ith the general history of the surrounding country. There have been three gen. eral periods of volcanic activity in the San Franciscan volcanic field, each followed by an interval of uplift and erosion. San Francisco Mo1nta in is volcanic throughout and is, in fact, q huge volcano whose fires have been but recently extinguished, the latest outbreak doubtless representing the final feeble eruptione in long cycle or votcanisIn. -
 The wide range in elevation in the San Franciscan volcanic field and the accompanying climatic variations bring about striking changes from place to place in the character of the vegetation. Although the field is en- circled by a barren and arid region. much of which is in fact a. desert, its higher parts are clothed in a beautiful forest of juniper, pine and spruce.
