Rats and Mice Dine
On $5OO,OOO,OOO
Food In Year

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Rats and
mice eat $500, 600, 900 worth of
food in the British Isles every
year, according to Sir Thomas
Horder, physician to King
George.
In an address to the College Of
Pestology Sir Thomas gave the
following explanation as to how
the computation was made:
ut is computed that there are
as many rats in Great Britain as
there are human beings, which is
about 100000. Each rat eats
two cents worth Of food per day
or $S,000,000 cents par day, which
Is equal to around $3.50, 900, 900
per annum. A mouse, it is com.
puted, eats one cents worth of
food per day. Assuming that
there are about the same number
OF mice as rats, the total of
$500, 100000 would be eaten an
nually.

FARMERS PROTESTING
 ACID APPLE WASHING
Reports Assert Law Proving Detri- mental to Popularity of Present
 Administration in West.

Washington, Oct. 19 Pl-Letters asserting that the present depart ment of agriculture regulation re- quiring acid washing Of apples is proving extremely detrimental to western fruit growers and under mining administration support in that section have been presented to President Coolidge by Senator Wa terman, republican. Colorado.
 One ot the letters, which came from Senator Waterman's constitu- ents, said that, contrary to Secro- tary Jardine's insistent statements that acid does not harm apples, it is an indisputable fact that ship ments are being rejected at markets daily because the acid ac- celerates deterioration and the ap- ples arrive unfit for sale" And that resentment against the admins tration amounts to political insur- rection."
 This order" another said, "had already cost apple growers millions of dollars and if continued through another season would seem practi- cally to ruin the apple industry in the west"
 Increased grazing fees and "fail- ure to provide a sufficient onion tariff" also were cited as making for political dissatisfaction in the western section.

RELIGIOUS PEACE IS
 COMING TO MEXICANS
ENiled Archbishop of NIichoacan Sees Truce in Ecclesiastical War
 fare Looming With Elections.

Chicago, H., Oct. 19 P-An armistice in Mexico's religious war fare will follow the presidential elections there, the Rev. Leopold Ruiz, exiled archbishop of Michoa- can, predicted upon his arrival here to make De Paul University his home.
 Even Obregon's return-and that appears certain-will bring about at least a partial settlement of the controversy between church and state," the aged archbishop said. Complete religious freedom will not come at once. The right to worship God as We wish will be restored to use. but gradually. Yet slowly but surely, the yoke of oppression will be lifted"
 Optimistic as he is for the restor- ation of peace between the church and government in Mexico the arch bishop, however, entertains no hopes for the recovery of ecclesiastical property confiscated under Gales orders.
 Commenting upon Mexico's most recent revolt the eXiled church ottl- cers asserted the government had full right to punish Serrano and Gomez, for they had risen In rebel lion," but he deplored the killing of hundreds of their followers"

LONDONERS CLAM0R
 FOR SINGLE BLISS.
Divorce Courts Storned by Un-
 happily Welded

London, Oct. 19 CUP An enthu- siastic rush for matrimonial free dom that staggered moralists and aroused comment even from hard boiled officials today, marked the opening of the fall term of the high courts.
 In London alone over 500 abso- lute divorce suits were awaiting ac- ton. In provincial courts there were many more, and it was estimated that the years total for England would reach over $500.
 Thirty-five hundred wives and s. 500 husbands, pledged to love, honor and cherish or obey until death parted them; at least $500 corre- spondents, many Of whose indiscre- tions will lead 10 additional suits in which they will be the principal, and not the auxiliary parties.
 And nobody is quite sure what 1t all means-unless that at some time Tn the future the divorce will be the natural sequel to the marriage. and husbands and wives pledge them selves merely to love and so forth until they get tired of it.
 In the tive-year period between 1901 and 1905, there were 563 suits for divorce a year in England; be- tween 1906 and 1910. 624; between 1911 and 1915. 65G between 1916 and 1920, 1,510; between 1921 and 1925, 2.734.
 Everybody thought that the big postwar jumps were due to the strain and after-strain of a Catas- trophe. But now people here have , forgotten the old war and are hop ing merely that the next one will break somewhere else-and the di- vorce rate keeps climbing. A few months ago a new law pro- hibited the publication in news papers of testimony in divorce suits | Reports were limited to essential , facts of identification and to the judges summing up. Many people attribute the increase to that.

Others blame just the old familiar strain Of modern life, and the in creased freedom of women.
 A third faction attributes the con- tinued increase-almost multiplica- tion-to the fact that couple of years ago divorce laws were changed so that women were placed on an equal basis. It used to be that they had to prove cruelty and deser- ton as well as infidelity, now they have merely to prove unfaithful- ness.
 But Tn the rush, nobody has had time carefully to figure it out, if it can be figured out.
