Thousands of complaints have come

ing that the department augment its
efforts to protect children from OBJ

The close surveillance exercised
over the character of matter passing
through the mails, officials believe,
has affected material decrease in
pornographic matter. Federal courts
have discouraged the efforts of such
dealers by unfolding the post office
department in each instance where
rulings excluding obscene matter
from the mails has been challenged.
Foreign dealers, especially since
the war and the return of American
soldiers from Europe, have been ac-
tive in endeavorin to dispose of
their products IN this country In
many instances foreign consignmcnts
are intercepted at custom houses. The
trade of these offenders has been
crippled by the postal authorities re
turning to scnders letters addressed
to all known dealers in obscene mat
ter, by contiscating great quantities
of unavailable advertising circulars
and the materials as well, and by &C
quainting those attempting to import
such matter with their responsibility
and liability to prosecution under the
penal provisions Of the laws.
The numerous small magazines, dc
pending for their popularity on the
Photographic material in them, are
the source of continual complaint and
the exclusion of many of them from
the mails curtails to considc rablc

they did, not just one family or so,
but literally hundreds of them. These
rodents build their entrances under
water and then tunnel up above wa
ter level to get nice dry home for
the growing family. Tests revealed
that some of the homes were over
five feet deep and that five foot
pole would not hit the sidewalks.
Use Poison
After unsuccessfully trying to
cope with the rodents by filling in
the homes. the engineering staff
learned that calcium cyanide might
solve the problem. This is very
poisonous gas in powder form which
volatilizes readily and yet SO heavy
as to cling to the ground. After
drilling hole with crowbar, it is
blown into it with duster, covered
with straw and dirt and then lett
to give the rats their eternal sleep.
1t would be dangerous to use, it in
scented by this particular stretch of
the highway, and it must be handled
carefully, otherwise it might get
some of the operatives. 1t is too
early to predict certain success but
the highway forces fervently hope
that they have solved the problem
as this particular road has cost near
ly $5,ooO.O0 thus far to keep it in
safe condition for traffic and free
from muskrat raids.

This is an age of substitution in
the building industry. There are two
kinds of substitution: first. the sub
stitution Of one kind of material for
another, and. second, the substitution
of one grade for another grade of the
same material.
The architects and engineers are.
as owners agents, interested in prop
er building materials. 1t is ultimately
the building public which should have
the whole hearted cooperation OF the
material men, the contractors. the
architects and the engineers. and it is
little wonder that the building public
is becoming disguised with buildings
which begin to show evidence Of per-
nicious dpnav within a decade
