TURNING RATS TO ACCOUNT
Japanese Authorities Anticipate SUB
stantiai Revenue From Leather
Made From Hides Of Pests.

In the neighborhood of Aomori, ia
pan, the hides of squirrels are tanned
and used as carpets, neckcloths and
for other purposes. This has sug-
gested to Doctor Hasegawa Kiyonari.
head of the Hasegawa hospital at
Osaka, who is member of the Osaka
municipal assembly, the possibility of
turning to good account the hides of
the numerous rats bought by the mu-
nicfpal authorities, in view of the
great advance in the price of hides
and leather. Doctor Hasegawa ap-
preached the authorities with the pro-
posal, which was favorably received.
They accordingly tanned the skins of
two rats and sought the opinion of
dealers as to what the leather would
sell for. The dealers estimated that
the skin of one rat was worth 20 sen
in It's raw condition. The public health
authorities are now devising special
means of disinfectihg and tanning rat
skins.
1t is estimated that a great sum
could have been obtained by tanning
the hides of one-third of the rats
bought by the Osaka municipal an
thorities during the last twenty years.

From these tests and others GOV.

Guided that, as rule, wheat sown
in North Georgia from October 20 to
October 30 will escape damage from
the Hessian Fly. In the southern part
of the state, the date for sowing
should be probably about seven to
ten days later. The proper time for
sowing will vary with the season.
AS a general rule wheat sown just
after the first killing frost will es-
cape serious damage from the Hessian
Fly, provided that all of the volunteer
wheat is destroyed in the fall before
the flies emerge, or not later than

Fix the Furnace Now.

The prudent man will have his fur
mace put in thorough order at the pres
ent time. Letting it so till fall would
be rasn at time when labor is so
scarce as now and when there are sure
to be so many other people anxious to
have their furnaces put in order.
There was considerable complaint last
winter of the quality of some of the
coal, which was explained by the sto-
ries received from the mining regions
of the working over of heaps at the
pit heads, some of which represented
the accumulation of many years. This
winter the coal may contain fewer
impurities, but necessity for getting
the greatest possible return in service
for every pound burned will be obvi-
GUS in view of the rule that consumers
are allowed to purchase only q per-
centage of the total amount they used
for heating their houses a year ago.
A furnace that is out of order will
waste a great deal of coal. No one
can afford to have that sort of thing
going on at the present time.

Compromises in Ireland

There are disquieting hints in several
English newspapers that the deliberations
of the Irish convention have led to no use
ful conclusion The Dublin correspond
ent of "The Times" says that "matters
have taken a disappointing turn" while
"The Daily News" as usual, rebuhes the
Orangemen of the North and "The Daily
Chronicle speaks vaguely of "formi-
dable obstacle" remarking that "the
Ulster Unionists have it in their power to
bring the labors of the convention to
fruiton or to make them end in failure" "
All of which can only mean that the ex-
pected compromise has not been achieved.
1t does not follow, however, that the
convention has proved wholly fruitless
According to one rumor, the Unonists of
the South and West have proved more
plable than the men of the northeastern
counties, and if that is so it is not un-
likely that the resistance Of the so-caled
Die-hards may ultimately be broken, for
without considerable support in the rest
of Ireland the case of the Ulster Cove
nanters could not long survive An
agreement between the Nationalists and
the more moderate Unionists might there
fore lead ultimately to some sort of set
tlement which would serve at least to
meet immediate conditions.
At the same time it would be idle to
regard any settlement as satisfactory
which left Sim Fein out of account.
The Nationalists are Of little Importance
in Ireland to-day and the power of Sim
Fein has grown enormously. 1t is sig
niticant, however. that the leaders OF
Sinn Fem have lately shown an inclina-
ton to compromise. Thus quite recently
Mr.. Gle Valera was at great pains to make
it clear that he and his associates were
ready to accept a bird in the hand if they
could not take the two in the bush, and
reminded his hearers with certain an
pearance of anxiety that he had never
vowed he would "refusc payment on ac-
count"
1t is possible, then, that he and his
friends have lost faith in their ''gallant
allies" of Central Europe and, recogniz-
ing that the rest of the world is not
deeply sympathetic, are prepared to come
to reasonable understanding. If SO. and
If, moreover, the Southern Unionists arc
really prepared to accept a compromise.
the opposition of the irreconcilable ele-
ment in Ulster will sooner or later come
to naught.

A Proposed Breach of Faith

Whatever may happen to other feat
ures of Mayor Hylan's so-called reform
programme, the repeal of the pay -as-you-
go law appears to have struck snag in
the Legislature. Senator Cromwell,
chairman of the Committee on Affairs of
New York City, has the right idea about
that "Werc it repealed at this time"
he is quoted in the Albany dispatches as
saying, lit would be breaking faith with
the people who came to the city's assist
ance in the time of crisis. Abolition of
the pay-as-you-go idea would injure the
city's credit"
Only slight reference to the history of
the last few years is necessary to sub
stantlate Senator CromwelFs declaration

begun, the City of New York was called
on to take up large obligations in London
and Paris. 1t proposed to borrow. $780,
