RATS.

We hate rats pretty violently. But now comes news that will more than justify a hatred more intense.
 A member of the Bureau of Bio- logical Survey calls the house rat the most destructive animal in the world. and declares that the rat is respon- sible for more deaths among human beings than all the wars of history.
 After citing many of the great plagues, spread by rats. the expert says that buildings should be con- structed so as to exclude rats from shelter and food. He urges that this be done individually, and that there after community attempts to destroy them win bring satisfactory results.
 Probably few people will need to be urged to protect themselves against something that has been proven to be so deadly. Most people like cleanliness. But most people get pretty tired during a day of hard work. inside or outside the home.
 But the rat never tires of food, and dirt rather attracts than repeIs him. If this little warning causes someone to take a bit of extra pre- caution as to protecting food from rats, and as to thus protecting them- selves, it will be worth while.

Is a wise solution of the trouble. but the Soviets arc not inclined to con- sider anything that is wise which con- templates fairness, apparently. The proposal to fix boundaries by con- ference of all the border states. after the armistice had been entered into would undoubtedly meet with Po- lands desires. She has been ready at all times. and Is ready now for peace with justice.
 The allegation is made that Polish armies are now fighting the mobilized forces of Russia, the latter armed with far better implements of war fare than are the Poles and outnum- bering the latter six to one. Yet un- der this handicap the Polish state ment is not hopeless. Their leaders have the courage to refuse to see in- evitable defeat.
 Theoretically. it is repeated. this plan Of the Supreme Council seems a wise one. But we have only to re- member back to plans for an armi- stice with the Germans to see again the possibilities for disaster to Po- land. Where there is treachery on one side and q willingness to play fair on the other there is always such a danger.
 Possibly the Polish armies have plans for last defensive in which their leaders have absolute confidence. A withdrawal within their Legitimate boundaries might render these plans unavailable. IL is asking a good deal of them to give them up, even in view of the promised aid of the Allies if the Soviets fail to keep to the spirit and letter of the law.
 The aid of the Allies would un- doubtedly make Poland victor in the end. But were they to withdraw now under the terms of the armistice, whatever war was subsequently waged. Allies or no Allies. would be in Poland proper.
 Consider the condition of France today-the condition of Belgium. Both are a mass of ruins. It has taken long and the work is still in progress to restore the fields. The buildings, old and almost reverenced, will never be restored.
 It is this possibility that Poland has to face under the proposal of the Allies Wise though it seems to be, Poland cannot be blamed for hesitat- Ing about adopting its terms when one considers the nature of the enemy she is facing.
 Even with the aid of the Allies there would be terrible devastation to the home land before the Soviets could be stayed. Considering the com paratively vast number in the Soviet armies, and considering the time it would take to get the men of the Allies Into action. Poland will not be blamed for hesitating to agree quick ly to the plan of the Supreme Council.

Wealthy Woman
 Is Selling Candy

Chicago, July 3O.-Mrs. Walter Willett, with more money than she can spend. a rich husband, a Hew car every year, lovely home at 220 East Pearson street, a prize bulldog, and nothing on earth to do but play bridge and drink tea, has gone to work. A Streeterville saleswoman, if you please. And in the first six days she was on the job she sold $500 worth of choco- lates.
 ''The day is coming" she said to- day, when there won't be any silly idle women waiting for hubby to come home and then dragging him out at night when he is tired and wants rest. The clinging vine days are gone.
 ''It won't be long before thou sands of wealthy women will go to work, just because they don't want to be drones, idling their time and boring wise, busier people with their petty disturbances. The homes are going to be happier when women who have no children to care for go out and get jobs for themselves. got mine without suggestion from anyone and without telling my husband.
 ''I don't feel that I am taking the job from any woman who needs it. If some one came along who needed the money and could do the work I would quit in minute. But I'll never be drone again.
 five been bridge playing, night waking, day sleeping, lounge-about long enough. My husband says it improves my disposition as we'll as my understanding of how men can come home tired at night, and while he is too surprised to understand it all yet, he likes it. It's the best advice l can give women with noth- ing to do-go to work. They day isn't far distant when there won't be any drones sticking at home waiting TO hubby to come and sign checks"

THE WILFUL TWELVE

Just before and for some time after the declaration of war by the United States against Germany twelve headstrong members of the United States senate-democrats and ublicans-banded themselves to- gether to thwart every move made by the president to protect Amerl- can interests on the high seas and to prepare the nation for the forth coming conflict which all but the 'Twelve Wilfuls" foresaw was bound to come. One by one these obstructionists have fallen-fallen just as quickly as their constituents have had an opportunity to brand them with the hot iron of everlasting public disapproval. Long-haired Vardaman of Mississippi, was turned out on the commons to brouse on grass less succulent than he found in the government pasture in Wash ington. The democrats of Missouri have their knives sharpened and are ready to carve on Reed as soon as he comes up for reelection. In Oklahoma Tuesday Senator Gore was passed into the discard by the democrats of that state and on next Tuesday Kirby-hater of Wilson and a blantant member of the "Wil- full Twelve" will have the caboose end of his anatomy decorated with a cluster of resonant tin cans, tied there by an irate democracy.

 You will find pictures of young women in bathing costumes. Some times you need microscope to find the costume.
 Staring you in the face will be bare arms, bare backs, bare chests, bare legs and bare thighs-heavy on the thighs. No loose fitting suit for the modern bathing girl, thank you. It must be skin tight to display her curves to advantage.
 And you'll find those pictures and the names of the charmers decorat- ing the walls of bachelor dens all over the country.

"Old Man" Tom McRae, as his opponents derisively refer to him, is about the spryest entry in the gubernatorial handicap. He has con- ducted a strenuous campaign, trav- cling day and night, making speech es indoors and outdoors. and still is fresh and vigorous. Tom McRae has lived clean life. He has not abused himself. His physical organs are in good condition and his men, tai faculties are keen and sharp. That 'too old' stuff is about the last gasp of a dying opposition. "Old Man" Tom is still young enough to officiate at score of political funerals over the remains of the top-waters who have been un- able to successfully cope with him in the campaign.
