goYs AND DIRTY WORK

A speaker at recent convention
Of master painters deplored the re-
luctance of the boys of today to
take I'D dirty work." He reported
f1at though house painters have
been paid high wages since the
war, vet there is in many places d
scarcity of apprentices for this nee
essarv and useful calling.
Perhaps more have sought TINS
kind Of a job since there was Sc
much unemployment, but any WORK
that involves wearing old clothes
and getting hands soiled, is not
popular.
H. liz one of the benefits of man
nal and mechanical training in the
schools that IT teaches the dignity
and importance of the skilled
trades. While the schools must EN-.
nfasize book knowledge, they shout
repeatedly dwell on the fact that
manual skill is the foundation OF
national prosperity, and the man

RAT WORST ANIMAL
ENEMY Of MANKIND

unteers are Asked to Aid

Intensive warfare on the rat has
been declared by the Biological Sur
vey. United States Department of Az
riculture. and tho call has gone out
for volunteers to help e4terminate the
pest. In urging swift death to tho
rodents. the department presents the
following bill OF particulars:
No other animal Is so persistent or
dangerous an enemy OF mankind: No
ether succeeds In inflictiug so great
and continual damage.
A rat In tho field. tho house. the
barn. or tho store costs. on an average,
- a year to maintain.
There arc as many rats In the coun-
try as there are mon. women. and
children.
. Two hundred million dollary worth
OF foodstuffs is devourcd annually in
America by the rat: An equivalent of
100000 men devoting all their working
time to producing the things tho rat
destroys or defiles-
Aside from the economic loss and in
jury. tho rat Is a most efficient germ
carrier. 1t freQucnts all the places
that arc vile and 1oathsome. The
germs OF the dreaded black death have
killed more human beings than all the
wars OF the worlds history, and these
germs arc introduced into the human
system by the bite OF q rat flea.
In India, no longer ago than 1896
the bubonic plague killed 100000 per-
sons. In Europe, during tho four
tecnth century, II is believed to have
brought death to 25.o0o.0oo human be-
tngA
Other diseases. almost as dreadful.
arc traced to tho common rat. Thus.
from the standpoint OF public health,
as we'll as from the necessity of con-
trolling the drain upon the public
purse, It Is essential that tho rat be
cStcrmlnatcd. Once tho cStcrmIna-
modern methods will permit, every

Ing lost ground.
Trapping should be done continu-
ously and systematically at all rat
infested places" says tho department.
Rat poisons, especially bats treated
with barium carbonate as recently
developed by the Biological Survey.
should be employed. In furthering the
of the rat. community or
civic organiza ton is OF the greatest
Importance. 1t does no good TO drive
the rats from one cellar into the next

with an average of 10 to the litter.
Along with determination cam
