| Is America coming to this? Have
/ our national ideals sagged? Are we
| less altruistic than we were during
| the war? Is our concern more self
| conferred?
What is to be said of the business
| life of America today? There is
plenty of business, but will our bust
ness methods stand "a close scrutiny !?
We are suffering from high prices,
and prices are high not always be-
cause supplies are short.
1t is a race for profits, and men
are not overscrupulous as to how
profits are made. provided they are
made fast and big. Speculation in
sugar has become a scandal. 1t re-
quires more heroism than many
shopkeeper can muster to be satisfied
with per cent profit when the pub
lie will submit to 6. ..
What is to be said of our social life?
There is a laxity that shocks the old
fashioned notions of propriety. Dress
has reached an extreme which makes
decency close its eyes. There is a
suggestiveness about the exposure OF
the human body which causes one to
wonder who set the fashions. Vice
flaunts itself in the face of virtue.

For killing rats all seasons are good
For community drives against rats
no occasion could be better than that
now furnished by the appearance OF
the bubonic plague in the United
States.
! The Public Health Service predicted
,, this visitation year ago and urged
preparation. The disease that in the
middle ages depopulated whole regions,
and that still does cruel work at times
In the East, exists in three populous
centres in the South. In Vera Cruz.
Mexico it has assumed. according to
Surgeon General Cumming, the pro-
portions of an epidemic"
This plague is primarily a disease
of rodents, especially rats" 1t can be
controlled by killing them. Even if the
disease prevention motive did not ex-
ist, there would be every reason for
waging war upon a pest that does
damage estimated at $3.50, 100000 a year
in the United States. This vast sum
would pay the interest on more than
$4,000, 1000, 900 of war bonds or build
schools for 100000 children.
Rat determination is a community
enterprise. 1t is Of little use to drive
them out of one building If they null
tiply in others. Concrete construction
lessons the danger from rats, but en-
tire cities cannot be rebuilt to check
mate them. Maritime cities especially
need to be on their watch against rats
and to wage unceasing war against
them. r..
New York's Board of Health may be
trusted to watch the rat problem
sharply. The business community
should be ready to cooperate with it
at once in any concerted steps it may
plan for rat termination.-New York
