thing new-the rodent "dope" fiend.

the rats which infest the federal
building We're nice, gentle, home-loving
rodents, but recently something hap
pened. Slowly a wave of destruction
swept through the building. Offices
were found in turmoil Records were
gnawed to scraps. Crowded desks
were swept clean of papers and books.
Shiny desk surfaces revealed countless
rat tracks, mute testimony of mid
night orgies.
W. F. Ferguson, assistant custodian,
urged to action by scores of COM
plants, purchased $50 traps and bait
ed them with the smelliest cheese
obtainable, crisp bacon and even
chunks of porterhOuse steak. Only

Narcotic sleuths recalled that 1t was
about the time they had first stored

The agents examined their stores Of

Packages had been gnawed open and
the imprint of rat noses found in the

of dollars was gone. The rats, they
suggested, apparently had first be-

"dope" monster when they chewed on
the 'muggles," shattered nerves forced
them to the cocaine and then to the
morphine
Large steel boxes were purchased to
hold the stores Of the narcotics.
Special traps were ordered built, and
when these are ready they will be
baited with morphine and cocaine. Mr.

The possibility of rats spreading the

WHEN RELATIONS WERE STRAINED A DIPLOMAT
 PROPOSED CUP OF TEA

PARIS, Feb. 8.-So engrossed were the delegates in the discussion of various plans of the reparation ques tion presented at the Paris Confer ence, that on the third and last day of the meeting they nearly forgot their five o'clock tea.
 Verbal exchanges between Pre- mier Bonar Law and MT. Theunis, the Belgian Premier, had become some what bitter, marking the only-strained ed moments of the conference. The air was charged with expressed emo ton, delegates were nervous, and fo1 time it seemed as if the conference instead of ending in friendly dis agreement" might break up in 8 row
 Just then the Marquis della Tor retta proposed in casual way: Per haps we might have our tea" All concurred. The good old Eng |lish custom, proposed by an Italian had saved the day.

BOUQUET IS HANDED
 HEAD NATIONAL PARK

Burton L. French, Representative from Moscow Idaho, handed this de- serving bouquet to Stephen T. Math- CT in a speech recently delivered in the House:
 "Mr. Chairman, I do not think the people of the United States know how thoroughly they are to be con- graduated on having Stephen T. Mather at the head of the National Park Service.
 MT. Mather represents the high est type of public servant. He is able, he is efficient, he is a regular human dynamo, and more than that, he is serving at distinct financial sacrifice to himself, because he be- lieves in his great work. A man of independent means and in the prime of life, he has taken the office of Director of National Parks and is contributing from his own resources for the upkeep and for the improve ment of many of the national parks throughout the United States A mo- ment ago we passed the item per taining to Glacier National Park, but do you know that out of his own means, MT. Mather bought and then donated to the Government the lands at Belton Station, so that fitting entrance could be had upon property belonging to the park itself?
 Do you know that the fine rangers clubhouse at Yosemite National Park, costing some s3O,0O0, was do- mated to the park by MT. Mather?
 Do you realize that to MT. Mather and to a former member of this body, MT. Kent of California, the country is indebted for great finan- cial gifts and then for a campaign that is saving to posterity the large area of land in California contain the gigantic redwood species of the Pacific?
 "These are but illustrations that ir- dicate the devotion to his work and the willingness for sacrifice of the head of our National Park Service. And with the business of the na- tional parks his work has been nho- nomenal Under his direction the

public has. become intensely inter- ested in the great wonders that are close at home. The number of peo- pie visiting the parks has increased from 451 ,661 in 1918 to 1,044,502 dur ing the present year. In 1918, 53,966 automobiles entered the parks, this year 197,106. As the revenue, while we would not consider converting the parks into revenue sources, we will be glad to see them largely pay their way, and the returns this year were s432,964,s9, as against $18O,65220 only five years ago.
 "In the face of all this, all MT. Mather wants is cooperation. And yet here is such a record that if it were accomplished in any great pri' vate business would entitle it's build CT not only to cooperation, but to be chosen to directorate of that particular business for the rest of his life"
