TO RID SHIPS OF RATS

Havre, Jan. 30.--The danger of
fumigating the holds of ships to ex-
terminate rats without first clearing
the whole ship Of passengers and
crew has been brought strongly to
the attention of the French govern
ment as result Of the recent suffo-
cation Of several members of>the crew
of the Caroline.
The report to the government
points out that, despite all possible
precautions, it is impossible effect
lively to fumigate one hold without
the deadly fumes to ,seep
through to other parts of the ship.
Stricter regulations for "de-rating"
ships are expected soon to be put
into effect.

FREEDOM OF
AIR DEFENDED
BY MINI. JUDGE

=. st. Paul, Jan. 30-The old COM
mon7aw maxip. whose the soil is.
his it is from the heavens to the
depths of the earth" was overruled
in a decision by Judge John c. Mich
ael, of the District Court of Mime
sofa, in Il suit for damages brought
by 4 loca! property owner after an
ailplane made II forced landing on
his property. The plaintiff sought.
also to enjoin the defendant from
flying over his property regardless
OF the attitude of such flights.
"The upper air is a natural heri-
taec common to all of the people and
its reasonable use ought not to be
hampcred by an ancient artificial
maxim of law the judge declared.
The decision is regarded as Of
great Importance, according to l.. X.
Eel, secretary of the Aeronautical
Chamber Of Commerce, which repre-
sents some 1000 commercial aircraft
operators in the United States. 1t
may be interpreted as Il specific
declaration of the freedom of the
air whereby without being guilty Of
trespass, he said.
Condemnation of air planes is not
feasible because aircraft can not ad-
here strictly to a defined course"
Judge Michaels decision said. "The
air, so far rs it has any direct rela-
tion to the comfort and enjoyment
OF the land, is appurtenant to the
Land, but to content that it is part Of
the realty, as affecting the right of
air navigation, is only legal fiction,
devoid of substantial merit
Judge Michael said that while
there was some danger to persons
and property from aircraft, accidents
were infrequent and this hazard is
il fin;tcly less than encountered in
every walk of life from various other
causes"
While granting the plaintiff dam
ages the judge, in refusing the in
junction said that modern progress
and great public interest should not
be blocked by unnecessary legal re
fncmcnts.

BIG PROGRAM
OF BUILDING.
IS ADVOCATED
More Space Is Needed to
House Army of u. S. En-
pIoyes in Washington

Washington, jan. 30.-Office space
required by the governments exec
utiYe departments in Washington ag-
grcgates 1864, 929 square feet, or
almost 3lI acres, distributed in
more thrn 900 buildings. In addi
!. fion, the Capital and the Senate and
House of Representatives office
buildings used by Congress total
about 100000 square feet.
In making the report of the Public
Buildings Commission to the Senate,
Senator Smoot recently urged adop-
ticn Of II program to cXpend $5O,Wo,-
oNY over Il period of ten years for
public buildings in Washington
which, he said, would dispense with
the need for renting building here
and provide for the needs of the
government for the next 20 years.
The government now pays almost
100000 year for buildings rented
in Washington, paying for ordinary
space at the rate of $3.50 a square
foot. The Interstate Commerce
Commission occupies an entire build
ing on which $72,05S a year rental
is paid for 1922 square feet. The
department of Commerce occupies
another containing lS2,954 square
fcetfof space for which $65.500 year
=. rental is paid. The Department
ON Justice pays $4,000 year for
AN entire building containing no.
070 square feet of office space
whose owners. each month implore the
government to vacate, stating they
have an opportunity to rent the
building for S225,000 Il year. The
governments contract has expired,
but the owners have not begun legal
proceedings to Gust the Department
OF Justice.
The Navy Department building con-
tains more space than any other in
Washington; with total of 923,316
square feet, and it houses 2,632 en-
sloyes. The building : the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing, with
4S4 ,920 square feet, houses 1860 en-

NEW FILM
WON'T SHRINK

London, Jan. 90 Hundreds of
thousands of feet of cinema films
and countless monograph records,
are being carefully preserved by
museum authorities in London so that
future generations may see how
things were done in this age, and
hear what prominent British states
men had to say of present day prob
lens.
One difficulty in the way of this
undertaking of interpreting today to
tomorrow has been found in the fact
that cinema films contract and de-
teriorate with age, but British firm
claims to hate invented a film that
will not shrink and that is not in
