A dead rat has furnished an cxaspcra-
ting mystery ut the home OF Detective
Frank Nahoncy. The other night Ma
honey caught a rat in the house and slew
h Some time later he went back to re-
move ttr carcass from the house, but it
WAS gone. He was telling the story to
Donald p. Osler of 125 West Eighteenth
street, yesterday and osler offered a
theory to solve the mystery.

these scavcngers at their work.
"When ] lived on farm near Gales
town, Dorchester county. Md, we had.
so mary rats we hardlyknew what to do

with gun or rifle. TveSkilled rats and let
them lie Pretty soon Others would
appear. One rat would turn over its
back and take the dead one on top in its
paws Then n second rodent would take
hold of the carrier rat by the tail and
drag both across the floor and into some
hole. | couldn't shoot under such cir
stances.
"The rat has more intelligence than
most people suppose. Two investigated

rectiy under a wooden box in which a
hen had her young brood Of chicks. Then
they bored Through the bbx and dragged
down these helpless little chicks one at a
time. We found five live chicks on a sort
of terrace less than foot under ground.
These rats nest ran back crookedly into
the ground FIVE or six feet.
''They will carry Off eggs and other
things by double team, the same way
they carry away their dead.
''Still another thing struck me. In
building their nests preparatory TO bring

fur off their bodies to line the nest. To
this fur they add layer of old cord and
wall and cotton. which they first chew up
more or less.
RATS in our town were Iso bad they
would not let the horses eat the corn

GIRLS FINISH NURSING COURSE.
Those Of Wilmington High School Making
Average Will Receive Red Cross Di-
nIomas

The girls Of the senior class OF the
Wilmington High School on Tuesday
finished their course in Home Nursing
At the Red Cross Teaching Center, 913
Delaware avenue, begur last fall. The
course proper consisted of only fifteen
lessons but the Christmas, Lincoln and
Washington birthday holidays coming in
made IL impossible TO complete the course
in the allotted time.
Last Tuesday the members Of the class
took written and practical tests and all
those receiving passing averages will ~
ceive the Red Gross Certificate. Miss
Moran, Miss Jones and Miss Hartlove,
instructors, all deserve much credit for
their untiripg effort in teaching the class
under somewhat discouragiDg conditions.
Many of the original number were forced
To discontinue the lessons because Of con-
fiicting outside duties, but those who were
able To complete the course feel that il
has amply repaid them for their efforts.

THE NEWSPRINT SITUATION.

While the newsprint situation has been
one of vital concern to the publisher for
several months past, II has only been
since the first Of the year that IT has been
q source of real alarm. In August Of last
year the price of newsprint was four cents
per pound. In November the price had
jumped TO seven and one-half cents. In
January another raise Was recorded, the
price going to nine cents. And now we are
notified of another raise. the price being
advanced TO eleven cents an increase of
almost two hundred per cent in six months
Thus the publisher is confronted with
q serious problem. In many cases pub
fishers have suspended publication tenn
porarliy, and III some Others, papers have
been permanently discontinued.
The publishers have not only been
forced to meet the increased cost of paper.
but In many eases have been unable to
secure the paper, even when willing to paw
the price. This has not always been the
fault OF the mills, as we understand there
are hundreds of tons OF newsprint at the
mills awaiting cars on which TO load it,
The cold weather and heavy snows have
been a serious handicap TO the railroads
and the publishers have bad TO suffer as q
result
If this was the end OF the difficulties
confronting the publish rs ii might be pos
slble to figure a solution whereby the
publishers might at least break ever" /;
but those who are well-lnforrned on the
situation declare that the end is not in

surprised If they are 10. ced TO meet an
other raise in the cost of newsprint. Mills
that have contracted fer the first quarter
/ Of the year have notified their customers
that higher price will be in effect on
April !.
To meet this situation the publishers

emselves increase the cost Of their prod
