GREAT ARMY OF
RATS ON WARPATH
FAMISHED RODENTS LEAVE A
PATH OF DESTRUCTION
IN THEIR WAKE.

FROSTBURG, Md.-Twenty-fve
thousand famished mine rats, some OF
them as big as 5-month-old cats, have
come out of the strike bound coal pits
of the upper Potomac and Georges
creek fields near here, have modified
into a rodent army under the command
of the bigger and fercer members, and
are sweeping a path of destruction
through the district
Gardens are being devastated, hen
roosts raided, stores looted, and chill
dren in several instances have been at
tackled. Real warfare has broken out
with armed parties of strikers sniping
for the rats at all hours of the day
and night Bags of 200 and 800 are
being brought in. Bedposts are set
in pans of water so sleepers will be
safe.
Many of the miners have put in the
time during the strike manufacturing
corn liquor, and they are reporting
serious depredations about their stills
by the rats. Two bull dogs have been
killed in fighting rats.

Capitol Architect

WASHINGTON, D. C.-War on

clared on Saturday by the house of

By joint resolution passed after
a rollicking debate the house author
lied the capitol architect to proceed

Representative Garner, democrat,
Texas, misleading the resolution in a

airy inquiry as to whether the senate
is the only place where there are
bugs"
20, no" replied Representative Ire
land republican, Illinois, in charge of
the measure, there are a few in the
house"
The resolution was sent over to the
senate just in time for its arrival to
interrupt a speech by Senator Reed,
democrat, Missouri, against what he
called theoretical" provisions of the
coal investigation. Nov, that is
something practical" remarked the
Missouri senator, when the house
announced the action of the

CONGRESS SEAT is
NOT BED OF ROSES
SOME OF REPRESENTATIVES
HAVE HARD TIME MAKING
BOTH ENDS MEET.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The joy
of being member of congress comes
at the time of election and not dur
ing the term at Washington-that is,
if the congressman is of modest means.
Living in Washington for senator's
and congressman is not all what some
people would think it to be, is the
opinion OF Secretary of Labor Davis.
In answer to a letter from John W.
Ford, of Philadelphia, and general
secretary of the Loyal Order OF
Moose, Secretary Davis pointed out
that it was hard for congressman to
make both ends meet, if the repre-
sentative depended entirely upon his
government salary.
Il know of many who live in mod
est homes, some with families in two
or three rooms, trying to do justice
to their constituents in that way, when
their own personal savings will not
support them in better style" the sec
rotary wrote. "They are indeed in
adequately paid, for every one knows
that there are many incidental ex-
penses to government service of the
character which they render,
Then again the volume of work
which is expected of hint is sell
dom that a congressman or senator
has sufficient government paid help in
his office l know that many of them
hire clerks at their own expense in
order that they may better serve.
Especially is this true OF chairmen OF
committees.
"A congressman's mail is often
heavy, and it contains matters of inn
portance to his constituents and his
district. A part of the day is spent in
taking care of this. There is always
constituents from their district who
want to talk over matters"

GREATEST AUTO
TUNNEL STARTED
IN THREE YEARS MOTORISTS
WILL DRIVE INTO NEW
YORK THROUGH ROUTE.

NEW YORK, N. Within three
years motorists from the west will
drive into New York through its new
est subway, the Hudson river vehicular
tunnel.
They may miss the ferry ride and
view of the skyscraper sky line. But
they'll come through the best ventilat-
ed tunnel in the world in a steady
stream of 1000 cars an hour!
This tunnel will consist OF twin
tubes 20 feet in diameter and ~ miles
long, built at cost of $29,000,000.
Work on the project is now being
carried on-from both sides of the
river
For a time local political squabble
kept the engineers INN starting con-
struction on the New Jersey shore.
But Clifford NJ Holland, chief engi-
neer, and several associates, went over
one night, took pick and shovel and
broke ground, without waiting for the
formal opening scheduled for July 4.
Poison Problem.
Before beginning work the engin-
GERS had to solve one of the century's
most difficult engineering problems.
How could they make sure the tun-
mel, filled with gases from the exhausts
of automobiles, would not become a
great death trap?
With the aid OF federal authorities
they decided to conduct experiments
in an old coal mine at Bruceton, Pa.
There they constructed a small tun-
mel Conditions were similar to those
under the Hudson.
Tests With Autos,
Automobiles were sent into the tun-
mel. Drivers and chaufeurs were ex-
annined before and after the tests.
Others experiments were conducted
in the physiological laboratory at Yale
and in the engineering experiment
station of the University of Illinois.
1t was found no harm would re-
suit to exposure to four parts of car
bon monoxide, the poison of the ex-
haust gases, in 10000 parts of air
So the engineers decided to build
four ventilation shafts which will
change completely the air of the Hud-
son tunnel AZ times an hour-forcing
in 3,5O0,0O0 cubic feet of fresh air ev-
cry minute.
The air is admitted through ducts
at the bottom of the tubes and eX-
hausted from the top.
THE vehicular tunnel will take care
of 10000 daily"

February, and 2,644 in March.
Births Decrease, Deaths Increase
The birth rate is declining and the
death rate increasing, according to
statistics by the census bureau, cover
ing the first quarter Of the year
The birth rate in the states from
which comparative figures were avail

thousand of population in the first
three months of 1922, against 25.3 in
1921, while the mortality average in
the registration in the first quarter
this year was l57, against l2.6 in the

months this year, and the state of
