NOT A sATH mEUaR

Rat posoR may be fine for mates, but
it is not 90 good for human beings. At
any rate there is one baker in Chicago
at least who knows now that rat poison
mixed with the ingredients for batch
Of New Years coffee cakes is bad for
his customers and harmful to his bust
ness OF course, the nts, not the
baker unfortunately placed both the
poison. and the material for the coffee
cakes exposed on shelves, 50 that the
rodents might sample either at their
pleasure.
1t Is fortunate that -tais bakers
lStupidity cost no human lives, but
caused only a few cases Of serious and
distressing illness. It Is also funda-
mental in rat poisoning methods to
carefully exclude all foods, except the
poisoned food intended to kin the rats.
This is done not only to safeguard hu-
man life; but to make It certain that
the rats win dine on the poison and
nothing elese.
Anyone who attempts to nd his
premises Of nts by the use Of poison
and who does not follow this procedure
is guilty Of criminal earelessness. And,
Of course, is responsible under the law
for the consequences Of such careless
ness In other words while it is not
against the law to poison rats, it is
murder in the first degree to poison
human beings

TWO HUNDRED
 WARSHIPSF0R
 NAVY IN YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A (by Asso- ciated Press) Nearly 200 warships, including one superdreadnaught and 96 destroyers, were completed for the American navy during the fiscal year others, including eleven superdread- naughts and six great battle cruisers, were building at that time.
 This is shown in the annual re- port of Rear Admiral David w. Fay Tor, chief of the bureau of construs- tion and repair, to Secretary Dan- iels, made public today at the navy department. For continuing work on the ships building, Admiral Taylor estimated that s119,O0O,OOO would be required during the fiscal year be- ginning next June 30. This compares with s59,OOO,OO0 last year and is the largest total ever proposed by the American navy in peace time for con- tinuing construction. It is explained by the fact that work on many of the craft authorized in the 1916 build war.
 Admiral Taylor's report, also dis closes that the navy department is engaged in developing and construc ting new types of aircraft. including great rigid and semi-rigid air ships and seaplanes similar to those which undertook the transatlantic journey last year. Besides the dirigible which is building in England for the United States, the navy is building a drigible at home.
 Airplanes and seaplanes building include four of the NC type for ser vice with the battle fleet, making a total of eight of this class. In the four new craft now building are em bodied the lessons learned from the transatlantic flight.
 lO pIONluc St Stdpldlit lOl fleet use," says Admiral Taylor, "the bureaus undertook the development of design for a seaplane larger than any in existence a 6O,OO0 pound fly ing boat. The design embodies sev eral new features including metal rings and unique power plant of nine liberty engines in three groups, each group being geared to a single propeller"
 With the delivery of the super dreadnaught Tennessee this year by the New York navy yard, the first line battleships with the Atlantic and Pacific fleets were increased by eighteen. Besides the destroyers added to the fleet last year, other new ships completed included IS submarines, 45 eagle boats and ten mine sweepers. In addition num- Der of naval tugs were delivered. Besides the eleven battleships and SIX i'dllle CI DululIS, tHclC are under construction ten scout cruisers, T destroyers, and 47 sub marines Some of the destroyers have been delivered since last June 30. Only two of the eleven battle ships building are expected to be de- | lvered next year, the Tennessee and Maryland The Colorado is to be de- livered in 1922 and the others in | 1923 or later.
 Admiral Taylor devotes part of his report to tests conducted with some of the German submarines turned over to the United States for expert mental purposes and says on the basis of these tests that lon the whole these vessels could not be said to be superior in design and capa- bilities to corresponding vessels of the United States navy"
 This is matter of interest" the admiral says, Gin view of the exag- erated ideas of the German submar- inc prevalent during the war, when l thev were still a mystery"
