DEBATERS LAY PLANS
FOR BIGGER SCHEDUAL
Prof. Chenoweth and Charles Darling
Are in Charge-Many Old
Debaters Back.

An informal meeting of all old
debaters was called Monday afternoon
by debate manager Charles Darling
to discuss. the plausibility of a more
ambitious debate schedule for Idaho
during the coming season. 1t was the
general consensus of opinion that IN
tercollegiate intercourse in the de-
bate field should be broadened and
that Idaho should come in~tU~contact
with more p%retentious outsiders than
heretofore. 1t was decided that one
dual and two triangular debates would
be the goal toward which to strive this
year. Professor Chenoweth and
Charles Darling were given authority
to orange such a schedule.
The debate outlook is quite cheer
full as several members of former de-
bate teams have returned to school.
They include Charles Darling, Carl
Burke, E. K. Lindley and Ragnar Kul-
burg. Anyone is eligible to compete
in the try-cuts and it is hoped that a
large group will interest themselves
in this activity. One credit is offered
to anyone making the team.

RAT MENACES HEALTH
Costs the United States $780,
100000 a'Year for Support.
Measures Be Taken to De-
stroy Them.

Washfngton.-You pay one-half OF
one cent every day for the support
and ~sustenance of a brown rat, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
United States public health service.
There is one rat, at least, for every
person in the United States. This es-
innate is considered conservative, but
comedies with that for Great Britain
and Ireland, and also with authorita-
tive figures for Denmark, France and
Germany. The annual upkeep per ro-
dent was computed by the same au-
thorities as $1.S0 in Great Britain,
$1.20 in Denmark, and 81 in France.
The d%epredations in this country Will
very probably exceed the estimate for
Great Britain. One-haf a cent a day
is considered conservative, but even
on this computation, 1t costs the Unit
ed States S1S0,0O0 1000 a year to sup
port It's rat population.
1t Is because of this terrific economic
loss and the additional fact that rats
are a constant menace to the public
health that the public health service
has issued a warning to the country to
take the necessary measures to de-
Stroy them.
There are three kinds of rats includ-
ed in the survey in this country-the
Norway or brown rat, the black rat,
and Alexandrian rat. The Norway rat,
larger and more ferociOus than the
others, has pretty generally killed
them off, and today the black rat
and the Alexandrian rat are seldom
found except in seaports.
The brown or Norway rat, since he
discovered America, has literally
blazed a trail across the continent.
Today 1t is c~onservatively estimated
that there are at least one rat for ev-
cry dweller in the cities, and on the
farm there are at least three rats for
every person. None of these rats is
native to the United States.
OF many measures suggested for de-
stroying the rat, the public health serv-
ice advocates one as most effective. 1t
is rat-proofing the buildings so that
rats cannot get in for food, thereby
starving them to death.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Police Judge
Chesebro was most embarrassed. A
woman had been left with him in lieu
of $25 bail, and he did not know what
to do with her.
Walter Lincercum appeared before
the court on a misdemeanor charge.
Judge Chesehro fixed the bail at $50
Lincercum did not have the $50.
Mrs. Lincercum, who was in court,
had a bright idea and whispered to the
Judge. He nodded assent and Lincer-
cum rushed from the courtroom. His
wife remained behind. She was the
bail.
Everybody was happy until 5 p. m.
arrived, and brought no Lincercum.
1t was time to close the court. The
Judge looked at his clock and at the
bail.
Then Lincercum rushed in, just as
the court was ordered closed. He had
$25 in real money and walked away
with his wife.
