Washington Markets Rat Free;
Federal Experts End Long Var
WHy Strategy Lures Rodents TO determinations
Poison in Temptingly Displayed Bait
Fails of Its Purpose.

Washington now has probably the
most rat-free public markets in the
world.
This was announced at the Bureau
of Biological Survey of the Depart
ment of Agriculture yesterday upon
the completion of rat-killing cam
paign at Eastern Market Seventh and
c streets southeast Center Market
was completely cleared of rats a year
ago. The Arcade Market has been a
recent object of the Government pied
pipers and now is considered abso-
lutely ratless.
Eastern Market nearest of all to
the wharves, where rats sometimes
swarm, was overrun with rodents
until a few weeks ago, when the
cleanup started. One now is about as
likely to find a rat there as a dinosaur.
Work Requires Strategy.
The work in the Washington mar
kets, in charge of James Silver, has
been conducted both as a demonStra-
ton and as an experiment in new
methods of rat-killing. All the work Is
done with poison on meat bread, fish
and cheese bats. 1t was found, how
ever. that rats have too much in
herited suspicion to touch poison bait
left in places where they can get at
it easily. AS result the bait is
wrapped in paper bags, about like
bundles wrapped for customers.
These completely fool the rat. He
gnaWs through the paper with assur-
ance, and death is certain. A number
of methods of rat killing had been
tried at Eastern Market before Mr..
Silver and his assistants took charge,
but none of these had met with much
success.
The poison used is not only the
cheapest of effective poisons, but gives
the most consistent results. 1t is sure
death for rats, but is not very toxic
when eaten by larger animals.
Seek Even Safer Poison.
The Bureau of Biological Survey is
now at work on a poison which will
kill rats only, being perfectly harm
less for other forms of life. This
poison is in sight. but has not yet
reached the demonstration stage.
Mr.. Silver and his men are clearing
up gradually all the public buildings
where rats have been reported with
the barium carbonate method.
Washington has only one species of
rat. classified scientifically, Mr.. Silver
said yesterday. The big sewer rats
and wharf rats here are only better

BALTIMORE, May IAN increase
Of approximately 40 per cent IN viola
ton of the child labor law in 1924 over
1923 was reported by State Labor Com
missioner Insley in his annual report,
just made public.
The increase in violations occurred
in spite of a general drop in the num-
Der of children working. Permits
were issued to about 5000 children,
against 1850 in 1923.
Insley's inspectors made 1.4SS in
spections of child labor conditions,
against 764 the year before. The in
spectors found 507 children working
in violation Of the law, against 372
in 1923. That is about l out of 10 of
the 5,108 children employed in the es-
adjustments visited. Three-fourths o.
the violations were cases of children
working without permit. The rest were
working at night, at forbidden occupa-
lions or were too young.
