Millions of Rodents in Cali. fornia Arc Being Killed Faster Than Humans Can Burn Them-Packed So Thcdy Large Areas Appear Moving Mass of Gray.

Bakersfield. Calif.. Jan. 7i (UP) Met by trench warfare dealing death to thousands of their broth- CTS and sisters, tho vssabond mice of Kern county today were fighting a losing battle.
 Weakened by the long hike from their old home in the Buena Vista lake basin which recently became
 flooded, forcing them into tho low lands. the mice. still millions strong, were falling before the cunning of their human opponents.
 Having bowled over cats. birds and light vehicles in their invasion, the mice had become hungry through unaccustomed exercise. Hence the county authorities lured the army of Rodentia to self-de- struction by strewing poison grain in a deep trench dug to stop the advance.
 It had become fight to the death between mouse and caterpil- lar, the latter being tractor.
 The tractors have dug trenches between the advancing horde and Bakersfield. The trenches have been filled with food highly spiced by poisons Succumbing to their appetites some of the mice have tasted and died.
 Scenting that destruction might attend dinner in the trenches, some battalions turned and fled. The mice were packed so thickly that large areas of ground appear as a crawling. gray mass.
 Chlorine gas will be used today in an effort further to despoil the morale of the rodents. They are dying so quickly that the anti-mice brigade can not burn the dead fast enough and in places huge piles are polluting the air.
 Bakersfield, Cal, Jan 21 R-1 Townspeople in four Kern county cities hoped for rain last night to drown hordes of invading mice. Light rains temporarily aided in the defense against migrating thousands of the rodents, but Whit Barber. horticultural commissioner, believed the effect would be to hasten the departure of other thousands from the Buena Vista lake lowlands, un- less floods drown the mice in whole sale numbers.
 The exodus has been controlled, Barber asserted, and the columns attacking trenches of poisoned grain are diminishing. The problem now Is to eliminate the mice from their stronghold in the drained lake bot tom and to this end. s. E. Piper, federal mouse specialist. and Nor man Buhn, state expert are expect ed to arrive tomorrow to make a preliminary survey.

on this amendment taey should be care

There is at present a retirement law dat
