Dry Weather Is
Favora bic For
Portland Rats
Hy United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, Ore, August 2I---
Poor crops. driedeup-iawms, and
scarcity of city water have all been
blamed, on the unusually dry wealth
er--but here comes one person with
Il new kind of complaint.
H. S, Speer, of the United States
biological survey, and modern Pied
Piper of Portland, who holds the
office of official ratcateher, says
the dry weather is favorable to
these rodents.
The most effective means of
killing rats on Portland S water
front, according to Speer, is the
use of cyanide poison.
4 cyanide compound is placed in
rat holes. Moisture causes chem
zeal change, which liberates hydro
eyanic acid gas. The deadly pois-
son fills the runs and provides an
effective means of determination.
But dry weather, Speer complains,
has cut down the effectiveness of
his gassing process as moisture is
absolutely necessary to obtain a lib
eral release of gas.

Wonaer1's Interests
MADE EASY IN SUMNER
IF TRAYS OR SERVICE WAGONS ARE
USED, SAVES MANY USELESS STEPS

Hot summer weather and weary
eet are almost synonymous terms
the housewife. Then, If ever,
loes she realize that trips from din
nr room to sink and from sink to
lish cupboard count up miles of
weary steps before the long day is
over. This is the time that the
right sort of trays or serving wagon
should appeal to her. Then, if ever,
will she acquire the tray habit,
which will prove the old proverb
about saving heels by using brains
instead.
Hand trays present themselves
in round, oblong, square and oval
shapes. OF them all the bblong
trag carries more and is more
easily handled for general utility
Purposes than other shapes. Such
d stray will carry supplies to and
from the pantry, foods to and
from the refrigerator, a whole in
dividual meal to the porch or sick
roam as occasion demands.
Trays that are to be carried need
to be both strong, durable and light
in weight. Aluminium is one of the
best metals for the purpose.
Laquered tin may be made deeora-
tive by hand painting, papier
mache is light, inexpensive and
se4viceable enough for many pur-
poses.
Imperial Valley press., 1924-08-21

Aluminium trays are, expensive
but wear lifetime end have a
double usefulness in that they may
be used as a baking sheet for cook
les, waters or drop biscuits. Reed
grass or Japanese mating trays are
excellent for meal service and light
weight carrying. They may be
made more durable and kept from
stain be coating them with a thin
coating of transparent shellac.
Service wagons are made of in.
expensive enameled steel with re-
movabel trays of the same ma
terial. These trays are excellent for
general purpose devices although
hardly elegant enough to appear IN
the drawing room for afternoon
tea Between these and the high
" finished mahogany affairs is an
other service wagon made of wood
with trays covered with washable
but good looking material.
A service wagon should have
swivel wheels on all four legs in
stead of the front two if it is
to be moved about easily. Rubber
tires are here desirable :. both for
quiet and possible injury to other
furniture. Swivel wheels are more
easily manipulated if they are not
over three or three and a half
inches in diameter. s,..
