warfare in Europe one OF the most
discouraging factors In the living con-

gray and brown Every known method
for DISCRIMINATING them was tried, with
soned, shot. gassed. trapped and hunt

great deal OF study by experts 1t was
found that rats were present because
they found food TO live upon. and it.
similarly was demonstrated that they
could not live without food. Since the
greater part Of the food that the rats
cyoured was that which had been
thrown aside through carelcssness by
soldiers, IL was determined to reduce
this waste foodstuff rs much as possible
and 10 provide rcccptacles for all waste
food In the trenches. Rat-proof boxes
were placed at frequent intervals in
the trenches and the soldiers soon saw
tho WISDOM of putting food refuse In
these containers. This did more 70

food. II you have n leaky Eranary

Moot questions OF law are interesting but
rarely valuable. As an abstract proposition,
it is imaginable that the Congress might pass
bill in the absence OF the President, and
that it might become law. as provided in the
Constitution. if he failed to veto it within
ten days Even that is doubtful, because,
under the language OF the Constitution the
measure must be presented to the President
However. as a practical fact it would be inn
possible to put through the Senate any bill

minority because debate there could be pro-
