BUDAPEST ATE ITS CATS,
so RATS NOW RUN WILD
Rodents SUarm In From Rus
sian Famine Area.

BUDAPEST, Jan. 2S.-Rats and mice
are migrating in swarms from the Rus
sian famine area. and Budapest is now
overrun with them. The market halis'
fed stores and warehouses are swarm
ing with the rodents, which run ABOUT
even in the daytime. When disturbed
they will turn and show fight.
The situation is aggravated by the
dearth of cats in Hungary. During the
war, when food was scarce. thousands
of Families ate their cats. Since then
the increasing demand for cat fur as
a cheap substitute for expensive furs
has taken a further toll. As conse-
quence the comparatively exorbitant
price of 5000 to 1000 krone is being
offered for kitten by shopkeepers. In
some villages the peasants have given
up poultry raising and have turned to
the more lucrative business Of cat
breeding.

Prof. William Duane of the Biophysi-

asEHINp The MIRRORS"

The art of being Senator like
Calder is the art of never saying
no" He is worth mentioning because
he has the bare essentials of Sena
torship, the habit of answering all let
ters that come to him the practice OF
introducing by request all bills that
anyone asks to have introduced, indus
try in seeking all jobs that anyone
comes to him desiring.
He votes enthusiastically for every
thing that everybody is for. He is
unhappy when he has to take sides
on sharply debated issues. Morality
is question of majorities. He finds
safety in numbers.
Nature was not kind to Calder; II
left him with no power to throw a
bluff. He is plainly what he is. He
has neither words nor manner. His
colleagues look down on him little.
But most of them are after only Cal
der plus, and plus, generally speaking,
not so very much. He is the Sen
ator reduced to the lowest terms.

A ROOF FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Firms that don't see the need OF
advertising usually have two stock
reasons for hiding their light under
bushel.
When business is good, they don't
need advertising to help them SELL"
When business is poor, "advertis-
ing want won't help them"
In way they are like the Arkansas
farmer whose roof leaked all the year
round and who excused his laziness
by explaining that, when it was rain
ing, it was too wet to get out and
mend the roof and when it was not
raining there was no need for a
patched roof.
When you advertise you build a
roof over your own business to protect
it during the cloudy, gloomy days of
adversely. And direct mail advertis-
ing shingles will give you a tight
roof.-The Woodpecker.
