NEW YORK, September 12.-"Who

This question was asked today of a
big New York wholesale butcher who
supplies some of the huge hotel and

was a surprise.
''The rat catcher" was what he

He explained that he played the
vermin exterminator first because the
latter provided him with a market for
products which otherwise would have
been entirely wasted, such as trim

casses, thus turning what would have
been an expense into a clear profit.

Despite the fact that Clarence Dar-

"A man who is in doubt as to

Though he may ably defend our

stroys our faith in God and in the
