For hundreds of yehrs the Welsh
wore sprigs of leek- "a plant with

Dol of recognition Of tha day. This Gus
tom was brought aboht, some say,
from the fact that in 4 battle Of the
Welsh against their old enemies, the
SaXOns, st. David had ordered all
Welshmen to go into battle wearing
their native leek, not Only to distin-
guish them from their etemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writer's argue that the badge
was worn more as a fratfrnal sign and
because leek was grown ib every Welsh
garden and was the favoEite vegetable
of a true Welshman.
Writers Of the last ctntury depict

Sef-Acting Cat-Rat
Ranch Shows Large
Profits-on Paper

London.-The proposal to COM
mercialize rat skins as fur for Ia
dies wear haShad no success. The
question now arises: What price
cat skins?"
The British Skin Company at
Walham Green has received the fol-
lowing suggestion from New York:
1.-THE object of this company is to
operate = large>tat ranch near New
York, where land can be purchased
for this purpose.
ITO start with, VI shall collect,
say about 100000 cats.
Each cat will average twelve kit
tens = year.
1.-THE skins will sci! for IS cents
for the white ones and over Is cents
for the black. There will be about
100000 skins to sell at the aver
age price of 50 cents apiece, making
our average about $4,000 a day
gross.
"A man can skin 50 cats a day;
he will charge 81 day for his la
Dor. 1t will take 100 men to oper-
ate this ranch; therefore, the profit
will be about $4,000 day, or So
100000 afyear.
1--WE shall feed the cats on rats
and star, rat ranch adjoining the
cat ranch.
"The rats will multiply four times
q. fast as the cats, and if we start
with 100000 rats we shall have four
rats . day for each cat, which is
plenty.
an turn we shall feed the rats on
the stripped carcasses of the cats.
1T will be seen by these figures
that the business is seli-acting and
automatic. The cats will eat the
rats, and the rats will eat the cats.
and we shall get the skins"
Officials are wondering whether
the proposal is meant seriously or
a. joke.

INDUSTRIES IN
BRITAIN TO Be
ELECTRIFIED
England Through Elaborate
Plans Will Harness EIectri-
city; Expect Large Yearly
Saving.
By FLOYD MAcGRIFF.

spondent)
London (By Mail.)-A vast
scheme for electfifying British in
dustry, which will save the country
$500,00O0O0 annually and at the same
time make industry more efficient, is
being considered by the government.
A special committee made up Of
long-headed business men serving
on the advisory council of the min
istry of reconstruction, has worked
out 4 plan, along purely business
lines, which would obtain these OBJ
jects.
England is ripe for electrical ex-
ploitation because of out-of-date
methods of supplying and distribut-
ing power in factories and because
of congested commercial centers
which would make the outlay in
electrical plants small in proportion
to the customers, domestic and in
dustrial, that could be served.
In addition, great savings could
be made in the railways, both in cost
of power and wages, by, electrified
ton.
Development in Infancy.
Electrical development in this
country is now in its infancy. All
the electrical generating plants in
the country do not represent an in
vestment of more than $4,000, 600.
Because this plant-block is mostly
new material the state would have
to spend but $55,000,000, it is esti-
mated, for amortization of dead
weight capital. These estimates do
not include distributing systems.
The plan put forward by the gov
eminent committee contemplates
erection of great generating plants
in proper districts. to be run purely
on businessmen civil service-lines.
The generating plants would be
worked as unified, national system,
AS to distribution of current, the
state would have control of the main
arteries, while existing agencies,
which proved efficient>and progress
sive, could be utilized for transmits
sion of current to specified locali-
ties.
The report recommends that an
electricity board of six members be
created by appointment to serve
FIVE years, and be paid sufficient to
attract experts. The electricity
board would create a Comprehensive
scheme for developing use OF cleo
tricity throughout the United
Kingdom. This board would have
power to create an operating exec
utive to be responsible for technical
operation of the system. The cleo
trical board would be more like q
board of directors.
The report recommended that the
whole staff on the executive side be
organized upon commercial lines,
the managers and stats for each
area being in competition with
those Of other areas for development
$ of their respective territory, for
commissions and other awards for
initiative and exceptional results
obtained. Coal would be conserved
by this plan, and the cost Of pro-
duction in many lines decreased, it
is asserted.
