Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is COM
planning of the high cost of living it
might be well to see if we cannot elm
lnate two great sources of waste-fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago a study of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1OO,OOO,OOO per year
to the whole country. This is a pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
lonship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
ell diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361 ,346. Of this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing In England, France
or Germany; and even In our time and
nation S30O,O00,0O0 per year is a saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.

Most of the airplanes had returned

the truck was within three miles of

The army officers and the flying in
structors were much pleased with the
test, which was made without any
mishaps and according to schedule.
The rs planes took the air in squads,
to each one Of which had been assigned
a special mission. They assembled to
heights varying from 5000 to 5000
feet, except the squad which had been
ordered to detect the artillery fire of
the enemy, which few ut about 1000
feet.
A trench about 100 feet long had
been dug about three miles from the

Its Chief Functions.

1.-THE councils chief functions are
The coordination of all forms OF
transportation and the development of
means Of transportation to meet the
military, Industrial, and commercial
needs Of the nation; the extension of
the Industrial mobilization work of the
committee on Industrial preparedness
OF the naval consulting board. Com
plete information as to our present
manufacturing and producing facili-
ties adaptable to many-sided uses of
modern warfare would be procured,
analysed, and made use Of.
"One of the objects Of the council
will be to inform American manufac-
turers as to the part they can and
must play in national emergency. 1t
Is empowered to establish at once and
maintain through subordinate bodies
OF specially qualified persons an aux
Hilary organization composed of men of
the best creative and administrative
capacity, capable Of mobIlizing to the
utmost the resources Of the country"
The details Of what the council of
defense is doing or will do
probably never will be made public.
The means which a nation takes to
prepare itself for warfare are not to
be publicly proclaimed lest the enemy
profit by the information.
