CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

Milan, chief city of the Eombardy-
Piedmont region Of Italy, where work
ers seized factories several months
ago. and where much unrest has been
manifested since has frankly consid
cred itself for long years the virtual
capitalize "capitale morale"-of the
country.
In the recent industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to have been
seized by wOrkmen In practically all
parts of Italy; but 1t was I'm Lombardy
and Piedmont, the territorial division
lying farthest north and farthest
northwest in the peninsula-the seats
of the important Italian metal indus
tries-that the seizures were most nu-
merous. In those regions, in turn, the
movement was most pronounced in
and about Turin, the principal city Of
the Piedmont, and the Detroit of Italy;
and I'm Milan, metropolis Of the north,
and Italy's Fall River, Philadelphia
and Schenectady rolled into one.
Lombardy and the Piedmont com
prise the plains of the upper reaches
Of the great Pc valley, the Alpine foot
hills, and the southern and eastern
slopes of large part of the Alps them
selves. Milan. on a fertile plain near
the southern ends of some of the most
important Of the Alpine passes, was a
town of considerable importance even
In the dim historic days of Odd Il. c.,
when Ii was captured by the Romans.
1t was then, as 1t is today, second
city In point Of population in Italy.
Milan early earned a position of lead
ership among surrounding cities, a
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by league
OF neighboring towns, and at other
times by alien conquerors. After each
destruction 1t has sprung up on a seem
ingly firmer foundation TO achieve
greater popularity and more far
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index TO in
custrial unrest, Ii Is a leader among
Italian cities In other respects. In
deed, the Milanese insist that their
city, their "capitale morale" is the
very heart and head of Italy's mod
ern life and activity-"first In indus
try, first In municipal progress. first
In political Importance"
The Industrial plants of modern
Milan have fairly burst the confines
of the old city and many are TO be
found in numerous populous suburbs
that have sprung up, especially since
1898. The population now numbers
close to three-quarters of million

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The necessity of campaign Of I'M
varying efficiency against the common
brown rat, is an outstanding one. No
other animal or insect is so dangerous
and persistent an enemy, and no other
enemy succeeds in inflicting the dam
on humanity. The rat population Of
the United States is at least equal to
the human population, and the same
ratio holds true for practically every
country under the sun. The bureau
OF biological survey. United States
Department of Agriculture, places the
value Of the food and property de-
stroyed annually by each individual
rat at 50. Keeping well within the
boundaries of conservatism this means
that each year in this country alone.
we produce S200,000,000 worth of food

rats. In another way, 100000 men in
the United States are devoting all
their labor TO the maintenance Of 1OO,-
100000 rats.
Is Efficient Germ Carrier.
But the rodents enmity is far from
being satisfied by this huge economic
injury. A frequenter of all the places
that are vile and loathsome, the rat
is most efficient germ carrier. The
germs of the dreaded "black death"
have killed more human beings than
all the wars of the worlds history,
and these germs are introduced into
the human system by the bite of q
rat flea. In India, no longer ago than
1896, the bubonic plague killed 9,00O,-
600 persons. In Europe, during the
Fourteenth Century it is believed to
have brought death TO 25,000,0OO HUI
man beings. Other diseases, almost
as dreadful, are traced to the common
rat. Thus, from the. standpoint of
| public health, as we'll as from the ne
cessity of controlling the drain upon
the public purse, 1t is essential that
the rat be exterminated. Once the ex-
termination is complete, or as nearly
so as modern methods will permit, ev-
cry precaution must be taken to pre-
vent the rat from multiplying and re-
gaining lost ground.
