RATS IN KANSAS
Scientific American.)

VOCICnIIIIC NneTICdn,J
 Some interesting figures about the rat population of Kansas have been compiled for the federal food admin istratOr of that state. Working with figures of European rat surveys made just before the war, it is estimated that the rat population of a city like Wichita is probably equal to the hu- man population while in the country districts there are at least ten rats for every person. A fair estimate would give three million rats for Kansas. each requiring $2 worth of food q year, a six million dollar loss.

Constance TaImadge at the Hip

Her maiden aunt had never been able to hook a beau long enough to lay the slightest claim to having a steady and she was so charming and so popular that she could not make a choice. Then she and the aunt were marooned in a deserted old house on account of a rain, and two fellows came to the house for shelter and two romances took root and grew over night. The young girl, an expert in love making, coached the beauless maiden aunt, and while the compro- missing situations might have daunted some, this pair had the time of their two lives and each hooked a real beau
 It's a comedy that might have been written by F'renchman, save that a red-blooded American youngster with corking amount O; imagination did the job and furnished a lot of comedy and delightful situations that just simply romp over each other in the rapid fire of events that combine to make Up, the Road With Sallie" the cleanest and fastest comedy drama
