PLANS BEING PREPARED
FOR A GREATER v. NJ l.

Lexington. Va, March 1s.-Plans
being prepared for Greater Vir-
ginia Military Institute" under the
direction of Colonel w. III. Copper,
Of The class OF 1904. who is now In
Lexington giving personal attention
to the great expansion OF the instr
tute's facilities, Colonel Copper is a
construction engineer, one OF his
greatest undertakings being the con
struction of Camp Jackson, s. G.
In discussing these Improvements
The Cadet of last week says:
One of the first of the contemplat-
ed improvements will be the construc'
ton OF an athletic field, another, the
erection of an alumni building. The
present plan of enlargement has prov
ed inadequate for the wfdened scope
OF the institute. and it Is now neces
sary to draw up a plan on large
scale. Col. Copper is selecting site
which will be suitable for proposed
new buildings. The idea is to draw
up a plan which will provide for al
possible needs within the next seven
! ty-f7ye or one hundred years. Thes
! improvements will consist OF ridinl
| hail. new Administration building
new library, alumni building, en-
| gineering building, etc. However
! the only possible way that sufficien
plans can be made is by means
! suggestions on the part OF cadets
| professors and alumni. as to VIVA
| they consider necessary additions
Such suggestions will be greatly ar
preciated for ii is desired to have tn
plans as complete as possible.

BIG BATTLESHIPS.

The stay Of the battle cruiser Re-
nown in our waters, says the Scien-
tific American, has raised discus
mon as to which are the longest
ahips aaoat. Of course, among mer-
chant ships the Leviathan, $50 feet
long, is the longest, with the I'm
perator and the Aquitania, each 900
feet long, of the Cunard line, COM
ing next. Among warships, the
longest in commission today are the
Renown and her sister, the Repulse,
each being 799 feet. But the long
est warship constructed and soon to
60 into commission, is the British
battle cruiser Hood, which is 900
feet in length and about $4,000 tons
full load displacement. Our navy

cruisers SIS feet in length.

Rat-KnHen,

Cats rarely eat rats, but attack and
kill them ruthlessly. Dogs of certain
breeds are the implacable enemies of
rats. Other enemies are weasels, fer
rets, the larger owls and bull snakes.
In cities cats and dogs are the best
protection. Traps are excellent, but
require to be handled with gloves rub
bed with fish oil, as the rats detect
instantly any trace Of human smell
and leave the trap alone. Poison Is
effective, but it has one serious draw
back; the rats are likely to die in
their holes.

a DEMocRATIc TRICK.

lust why the Democratic members Of the City
Board Of Directors wanted an indefinite delay IN
the selection Of head of the police department to sue
ceed Chief Of Police Moran. whose resignation has
been accepted to take effect on Friday of this week.
they did not say But the public does not need to be
told.
The public knows that the Democratic members of
the city government have yielded to the pressure APP
Piled BY the Democratic bosses and are going to Try
to keep this city from having police chief until after
the election How we'll they will succeed remains to
be seen.
By the agreement between the parties at the time
the present bipartisan government was erected the Re
publcans were given the police chieftancy in the divl-
ion OF municipal posts The West Nrginian felt at the
time that whichever party got the mayoralty should
also get the head Of the police department, for the
reason that the police department comes under the con-
troll Of the mayor The people Who were influential II
making the agreement between the parties did MOI share
that view at that time however and the agreement hay
ing been entered upon it should be lived up 10 faith
fully.
To attempt to evade the agreement on the eve Of
an election, when the city ought TO have every BIT OF
police strength il can command under service Is nc
merely breach of faith with another political party /
is breach Of faith with the whole city and the voter
who believe in common honesty and the strict enfroce-
ment Of the laws should resent it in practical way
when they go 10 The polls in November.
