National War On
Rats Is Shouting
Good Results

Rats are probably decreasing in
numbers in the United States, says
the United States Department Of Az
.riculture, although their decrease is
only beginning TO be apparent. The
chief factors responsible for any
decrease are preSent-day sanitary
requirements and modern building,
which make il increasingly difficult
for rats to find food and shelter;
national urge against all unneces-
Sary waste; and a better understand
ing generally of the relation of rats
to human economy.
Furthermore, as facts relating to
the spread of communicable disease
have become better known, more
general interest in rat control has
been stimulated, more effective
means of destroying rats have been
developed, and information regard
ing these methods has been widely
distributed. Farmers Bulletin 1888
+, RAT Control prepared by James
Silvert of the Biological Survey, and
just issued by the department, con-
tainS many suggestions for the con-
troll of rats on the farm and in the
city.
Permanent exclusion of rats may
be brought about by rat-proofing
buildings and other structures com
monty inhabited by the rodents; by
removing any possible shelter; and
by cutting off their food supply. De-
tails on methods Of accomplishing
these obiectives are discussed in the
bulletin, as well as such control
methods as poisoning, fumigating,
trapping, and use Of deterrentS.
Although getting rid of rats is
largely an individual problem, rat
infeStation has serious effect on
the whole community, and organized
control effort is highly desirable.
A person who allows rats to increase
on his property until they menace
the entire neighborhood becomes
an object Of public concern, and a
city that permits IFS refuse dump TO
serve as breeding place for hordes
of these pests is committing grave
injustice to its population. Kidding
whole community of rats can best
be accomplished by organized ef-
forts of all the citizens. The de-
partment will gladly assist such or
CARNATIONS through the Biological
Survey in planning, organizing, and
prosecuting antirat campaigns by
furnishing preliminary plans, gen.
eral instructions, sample copies OF
posters, and otherpublicity material
and, where possible, the personal
services of leader.

OF Crime Is Praised
By u. S. Expert

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Europe is
dealing with crime through preyen-

port 10 the subcommittee, "Eu.
ropeans believe that ii is far more
effective to impose reasonable mild
penalties on large proportion OF
those who offend"
Europeans rely on their police
rather than their prisons TO keep
down crime" DR.. Robinson found.
Pointing TO recent report showing
that "in two of the leading cities of
Missouri" only three per cent of per-
sons against whom information con-
cerning major fClonieS was laid be-
fore the police, were punished. he
said that allowing 81 per cent of cur
Offenders to go scot free, would
scarcely appeal TO European as an
example of our boaSted efficiency" :"
While DR.. Robinson found no
"coddling" of offenders in Europe.
he said he found an absence of any
tendency to turn TO more severe
penalties or to harSher prison
regime" He found, he said. an cf-
fort to substitute something for inn
priSonment less damaging in its so
Geological ramificationS. Fines and
probation, he said, weer the gener-
ally employed substitute.
Citing statistics indicating that
nearly half the commitments m the
United States in 1923 were for non
payment of fines, DR.. Robinson said
that America is sending its poor folk
to Jail. while IFS rich 90 free. In
Europe, he said, the poor are per-

Escapes from European prisons
are virtually unknown. said DR..
Robinson. Although the prisons are
far less formidable structurally than
in America. Also, ne found that per-
sons in prison in Europe are kept
busy, even while awaiting trial.
There is notable absence of the
