Charley Fails To
Entertain Enough

An improvised prevarication de-
tector machine, amateur phrenology,
and an exhibition of buck and wing
dancing played big part in causing
one Charley johnson, colored timer
ant entertainer, to draw SO fine
or 1919 days ON the city "chain
gang' this morning in police court.
Charley was picked up last night
and charged with vagrancy. He
protested his innocence of any
wrong doing and offered to prove
the value of the entertainment he
was capable of. The exhibition was
privately arranged and given, and
while good, did not prevent John
son from being sent out on a pick
and shovel job.
The detector machine and the
reading of the bumps on Charley S
mead were part and parcel of the
facetious procedure to learn wheth,
er or not the colored man was tell
ing the truth regarding his harm
lessness and his ability to entertain.
w. e. Robinson was fined $25,
which was paid, when brought be-
fore Judge Perkins on an intoxi-
cation charge.
Pedro Mareno, charged with
vagrancy, and suspect in num-
ber of minor burglarics, pleaded not
guilty and trial date was set for
next Monday morning

NORFOLK GAINS
M|D-WESTERN !
FAVOR

RICHMOND, Va, April 2e.--Ex'
porters and importers located in the
Middle West are giving. increased
recognition to the advantages Of
the ports OF Norfolk and Newport
News for the routing of overseas
shipments. according to, the report
of Clarence W. Newman, special
representative of the Virginia state
Chamber of Commerce, who has
just returned from a visit to lead
ing commercial centers in central
freight association territory.
The generally favorable attitude
of shippers toward Hampton Roads
routing Is due largely to the
activity of the Middle Western
representatives of railroads serving
Hampton Roads. backed up by the
character of the service given to
shippers by these roads, Mr.. New
man found. Steamship companies
and freight forwarders also have
been increasingly active in solicit
ing overseas business for Hampton
Roads.
Larger Volumes
The Middle Western trip was
made for the purpose of discussing
with officials of representative firms
the problems which they have to
consider in routing their foreign
shipments, in the belief that con-
sideration, of these problems may
indicate what measures Virginia
port agencies should undertake 10
build up a larger volume OF traffic
through Hampton Roads. Mr.. New
man made the trip in company with
H. M. Thompson, of Norfolk, secre-
tary of the Hampton Roads Mari.
time Exchange.
Comments made by a number of
important Midwest shippers showed
that they are ready to use the Vir-
einia ports to an increasing extent
just as rapidly as these ports are
prepared to meet their particular
needs,
Favor Roads Route
Information obtained on this trip
shows that the Importance of habit
with respect to the routing of
commodities has been over empha,
sized. Mr.. Newman says. Most ship.
pers have very definite reaSon9 for
the methods they follow, but they
appear to be open to conviction and
ready to try new routings il they
can be convinced that their special
requirements will be properly met
Strong solicitation was found to
be factor of great Importance with
respect to the routing of export
shipments. This is especially i'm
portant so far as the Hampton
Roads carriers are concerned. be-
cause they must overcome the re-
sistance naturally shown to an un-
tried method.
In the case of one mid.western
product it was found that the rout-
ing already is very largely through
Hampton Roads, for no other ap-
parent reason than the character of
the solicitation. According to the
findings this performance might be
repeated with respect to other com
fnodities.

StauntOn Accepts Bond
In Traffic Device Case

sTAUNToN, Va. April 26.-The
Miller Train Control Corporation Of
this cityr,has posted bond Of s2,5OO
with the National Surety Company
as guarantor. as required by the
city council following receipt Of a
notice from a Hartford, Conn. COIN
pany that the local company was
infringing upon its patents
The council first required bond
of 5000 for protection of the city
in case Of a suit. The New Eng.
land concern stated that the city Of
Staunton would be liable in case of
an infringement. because of it's use
of the disputed traffic device.
Since the city attorney, Peyton
Cochran, was unable to advise the
city as to its liability. he advised
removal of the signal. The council,
however, allowed the device to re.
main in place, but required a bond.

RED SQUlLL is HELD BEST
POISON FOR RAT BR0ODS
Recommended by Agriculture De-
partment for Eradicat ting Foe to
Health and Farm Products.

Nothing good can be said Of rats.
The United States Department of Agrl-
culture estimates that on the average
every rat in the United States does
damage amounting to fully 50 a year,
and that there are at least as many
rats as human beings in this country.
Altogether too many rats levy1ng this
tax on national production. Their
economic waStefulness requires Wig
orous measures for their control.
In addition to the physical damage
rats do by destroying food and prop
erty, the Bureau of Biological Survey
points out that they are serious men,
ace to the health of the Nation. Rats
are known to spread trichinosis and
to carry bubonic plague and other
diseases. either directly or by means
of the ffeas that live on them.
1t is not easy to kill rats. They
avoid their natural enemies and they
are careful and cautious. II their Sus-
picions have been aroused they refuss
to eat many tempting bits of food
containing rat poison. Poisons set for
rats sometimes have killed other aniS
mails or children. Phosphorus is men,
ace. as it may set fire to buildings OF
field grasses. Arsenic and barium car
Donate are dangerous to other AMI
mails. Thallium Is particularly dam
gerous and it is costly, as the supply
Is limited.
Red-squill powder. in the opinion Of
the Biological Survey. is. if properly
prepared. one of the most satisfactory
rat .poisons now. known. Cats, dogs,
and other animals usually refuse IN
eat the material because it causes 4
tingling and irritation of the throat.
1t is full of small crystals Of calcium
oxalate. Rats pay no attention to this
feature. 1t poisons rats, but chickens
can eat it without harm 1t is a brown
powder and can be mixed with the feed
the rats ordinarily favor.
