RAT POPULATION
EQUAL TO HUMANS
Department of Agriculture Esti-
mates Their Damage at
SO Per Rodent.

Nothing good can be said of rats
The United States Department of Agri-
culture estimates that on the average
every rat in the United States does
damage amounting to full So a year
and that there are at least as many
rats as human beings in this country
altogether too many rats levying this
tax on national production. Their eco
nomic WaStefulness requires vigorous
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 a serious men,
ace to the health of the Nation. Rats
are known to spread trichinoSiS and to
carry bubonic plague and other dis
eases, either directly or by means of the
f1eas that live on them.
1t is not easy to kill rats. They avoid
their natural enemies and they are
careful and cautious. If their suspicious
have been aroused they refuse to eat
many tempting bits of food containing
rat poison. PoiSonS set for rats some
times have killed other animals or chill
dren. Phosphorus is menace, as it
may set fire to buildings or field grasses.
Arsenic and barium carbonate are
dangerous to other animals. Thallium
is particularly dangerous 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 to eat the

PACIFIC AIR BASE
! SELECTION SECRET
cirigibIe Boards Report "a
pected by Secretary of
Navy This Week.

ny the Associated Press.
The report of the Naval Aeronautic
Board appointed to select the site of a
Pacific Coast dirigible base is expected
to reach the hands of the Secretary of
the Navy some time this week.
Rear Admiral William A. Mohett,
chief of the Bureau of AeronautIcs,
who is chairman of the board, said to-
day that all research work in connection
with the location had been completed
and that only drafting Of the report
remained.
The contents of the report, to be
closely guarded until its submission to
Congress early in the Winter, hold
more than usual interest. because Of the
close competition among all Pacific
Coast communities for the distinction of
acquiring the home OF the two great
aerial worships now under construction
at the Akron, Ohio, plant of the Good
year-Zeppelin Co.
More Than Field Needed.
Much more than suitable fleld ana
hangar site is needed for satisfactory
dirie;ble base, the Navy has found, en-
failing extensive investigation after the
inspection of proposed locations.
Important items are ease OF COM
rnunicat on with the feet, with arSenals
and with fuel and helium supply bases,
prevailing temperatures and air currents
and the direction and velocity OF pre-
vailing winds.
AS revolving hangers have been found
impracticable. dirigibles are frequently
imprisoned in their homes by cross
winds at the hangar doors, with demo-
lition threatened should sudden gust
pull the giant hulk from the guiding
hands of the ground crew and drive II
against the side wall.
Strong Construction an Aid.
Strong construction of the new d.
rieibles will lessen this danger, but the
Nayy hopes by careful selection OF
base to eliminate these periods OF inn
prisonment, which night destroy the
military value of the airship by pre-
venting some necessary fight.
Southern California has been con-
eidered to have the advantage In the
choice, because of the prevalent wealth
or. proximity to the feet base and
great number of offered sites, but the
board has made it clear that its studies
have included the whole length OF the
Pacific shore of the United States.

submarines were necessary to their
navies. The japanese were more eau
tiouS, but it was indicated that Japan
also would look with disfavor on this
part of the conference work and would
ask an increase In her cruiser strength.
These three powers, unable to finance
a navy or surface craft equal to the
navy Of either England or America,
count heavily on destroyers and sub
marines for defense of their exposed
coasts. There was every indication that
the struggle over the abolition of sub
marines would be long and bitter.
In some quarters. Great Britain and
the United States were accused of at
tempting to dominate the high seas by
an agreement which would not really
reduce naval ornaments, but only cut
their navies on a footing of equality.
This feeling was strongly expressed in

OUTING

The second annual outing Of The
Washington Times Carriers was held
a. Glen Echo Amusement Park
yesterday. some 5000 boys and
girls, were present, having the time
of their lives.
The festivities started In the
afternoon, when Manager Leonard
Schloss pressed the button, turning
the machinery of the park in
motion, and then turned over the
factory Of fun to w. G. Shelton,
director of circulation, of The Wash
ington Times.
The So flag champions, composed
OF boys and girls from all over the.
: country, now on their patriotic
pilgrimage, were invited guests OF
the carriers. and they joined right
In with the crowd, and had the.
time of their lives.
Visiting Carriers
Another group OF Times Carriers
from Martinsburg, w. Va, some OF
them seeing Washington for the
first time, were down for the
fun. When they pulled up to the
front of the big amusement park,
they were simply. amazed, and after
!, al of the fun had ceased, one
youngster said "the only thing II
regret, is that it's time to so"
Tt was a day which the young
sters of Washington had been
anticipating for months. In the
morning, the weather man said,
showers this afternoon, but
officers of the Times Boys Club
soon appointed a committee to take
care of that, and finally the
weather man agreed to hold off his
cooling showers until after the,
festivities had ceased. ~
Just after dark, the big park was
sWRmped, and all you could hear
was, Hey, Johnnie, I'll see you in
the midway" or Gee, amt this one
swell and then, shortly after 2
o'clock, the Elks Clown Band, one OF
the most noted group of fraternaE
entertainers in the country, made,
their appearance, 40 strong, led by,
Messrs. Walton and Herzog, and
what q show they did really put on.
Had Great Time
The midway, one of the old
favorites of the boys, was the scene
of much fun, as the youngsters just
couldn't get tired having fun on the
instruments, manufactured for such.
The coaster dip and derby racer en-
frances were damned all evening and
1t was outside of these gates. that
some real business deals were
pulled, al this form Of amusement

only. You could hear one boy say,
Say. Shorty, TIL swap you an old
mill ticket for your coaster Dip"
ETC., and you would really be sur
prfsed how smart these youngsters
are when 1t comes to swapping.
As the hour was getting late. and
the fun was slowly dying doWn;i.the
weather man did Just what he prom
ised. and the majority of tl1eI young
sterh went home In the cooling
showers. But, as most OF the crowd
said, whats little rain when so
much fun has been enjoyed"
