RAT EXTERNINATOR : IS HIRED BY CITY FOR WAR ID DEATH
(Continued From First Pago)

(ContinUed From First Pago) two rats. unmolested. in three years time will produce 3.5oo"oo descend- ants, breeding from six to ten times a year.
 Amann, in talking Of the rat wa. pointed out number of statistics Of interest, which are given below:
 Rats do s4,00O.000 damage iii the United States each year, according to government statistics, II would take an army of 100000 men 10 produce as much food as is eaten and destroyed by the rats each year. aOne-half Of this if represented by grain. would take five million acres to be produced. Rats destroy more each year on the farm than taXss cost.
 Plaques Due to Rats
 By spreading disease, rats have caused more deaths than all the wars in history. In the 14th cen jury, bubonic plague carried by rats destroyed one-fourth Of the F,uro- peans or 250G0.oon people. Quick action by the United States govern ment in 1914 and 1915 saved similar disaster caused by rats in New Orleans after the bubonic plague had taken more than 500 lives. Trouble Of such kind no% exists in California, Eightr-three died in Los Angeles last year from the plague spread by rats.
 Rats carry the bubonlc plague and the germs Of other diseases. Individual effort is necessary to rat riddance, but the community organization and united action ara essential to insure permanent relief from the pests. Without coopera- tion, there is always the prospect or re-investation from the adjacent property.
 Hard to Eradicate
 When left undisturned in its chosen abode. the rat increases with almost unbelievable rapidity and uses unceasingly it's highly develop cd instincts at the ever increasing expense Of the housekceper, farmer Or business establishment harborira ft Once rats have entrenched themselves determined effort is nec- essary 10 eradicate them. The task is not a hopeless one. however, and effective measures persisrently used will benefit not only the one-tire supporter Of pests, but also the community at large.
 Although the control Of rats IS largely an individual problem, rat infestation has a serious effect on the whole community and organized effort is highly desirable. A man who allows rats 10 increase on his property, his place serving as an incubator for the hordes ot pests until they menace the entire neigh borhood, creates a. public nuisance: but this situation can he eliminated by cooperation and organized ef- fort"

Among the most interesting phases

The last election had this in COM
mon with its predecessors, from it
can be proved" almost anything

A discomfort" vote, multiplied by
unemployment and business depres-
sion, likes to experiment.
The political parties, in the old
sense, are disrupted. We elect indi-
viduals, not platforms. There is not
a single major issue which is the ex-
elusive property of one party.
Those who are attempting to show
that the last election was a great vic.
tory for government ownership or

The Proper Medicine

Leaders in both political parties as
sure the nation that there will be no
attempts at radical legislation in the
present Congress, or the one follw-
ing. It is time the country forget
politics and turned to the problems
of encouraging business.
Public officials come and go. Ad-
ministions change. But employ
ment, wage scales and industries
must be maintained without Interrupt
ton. They should not be at the
mercy of partisan politics. If capital
becomes timid, the inevitable result
will be a financial panic and unem-
ployment crisis.
Outstanding industrial leaders
have pointed out that low price
levels have made this a good time to
buy and are following their own adj
vice. If business and individuals
will do likewise, it will stimulate
production and employment.

DWELLING DESTROYED BY
FIRE

Fire, supposed to have originated
from a defective chimney, destroyed
the large three-story mansion house
on the Shrader farm, located in Back
Greed Neck, near Chesapeake City,
Sunday afternoon. The fire was dis
covered between the two chimneys
and Irwin Schrader and several
neighbors tried to extinguish the
blaze with buckets of water. A
short time later the fire broke out
anew.
The Elkton and Chesapeake City
Fire Companies responded to a call
for help later, but due to lack of
water they were unable to cope with
the flames.
Practically all of the household
goods were saved by neighbors and
others who arrived at the scene be-
fore the flames had gained too great
Roadway. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000, and is only partially
covered by insurance.

New State Forest Purchases

Since August Is of this year. the
Forestry Department has added two
tracts of land to its State Forest pos
sessions, one of 1900 acres, near
Doncaster, in Charles County, and
another of 1900 acres, partly in
Prince Georges and partly in Charles
Counties, in the vicinity of Cedar
vile. This brings the total area OF
State Forests up to $4,000 acres, of
which nearly $1,000 acres has been
acquired under the $4,000 appro-
priation made by the last Legislature.
The Department now has options on
three tracts comprising almost Is, 900
acres which, in all probability, will
be purchased out of the remainder
of the $4,000. appropriation, bring
ing the acreage up to $4,000, of
which about $4,000 will be acquired
under the $4,000 appropriation, -
a most remarkable record. This is
all good timber-growing land, emil
nently suited for State Forests, es-
pecially as it has high scenic and
recreational value in addition to its
timber growing possibilities. In
time, these lands will bring a very
substantial revenue to the State and
be a strong factor in building UP local
wood-using industries.

TREND OF AFFAIRS
BY Lucy Mecham Thruston


$4,000, Co., 900 is being spent an
nually for war by the countries oil
the world. Yet the world has re-
nounced war. Accounts of economic
and industrial crises, of unemploy-
ment, necessary doles, of cities grid
ing themselves to meet the crises OF
the coming winter and yet of ever
increasing war expenditures run
side by side. Over 70 per cent OF
every tax dollar in the United States
goes to the war division. France
allots 70 per cent, so does Britain.
But Sweden, cutting her war appro-
priations to 20 per cent is enabled by
so doing to devote the major division
of her tax dollar to schools, hospitals,
roads, aid for unemployment.
But the recent utterances of Hitler
and of Mussol;ni have clouded the
political mood, which makes it more
difficult to consider the two major
questions before the Disarmament
commission. One question is the Sc
curity first then disarmament position
Eof France, with the disarmament
providing security stand of England,
likewise of the United States. In
the position Of France, however, has
come hopeful note. BRAND has
said that it should be arbitration,
security, disarmament. This express
sion is full of significance. The
second question is the Budgetary
Limitation of Armaments. Wise de-
cisions on both or even one OF these
should go far towards alleviating the
burden the world is finding rnen-
durable. Less for war and more for
good living conditions is the cry, a
cry which will be still louder for the
coming year of 1881.
In three different continents today
countries are recognizing their
health services, sanitation, drainage,
hospitals, medical service, under the
direction and with the special help of
the League Health workers. These
countries are China, Greese and
Bolivia. The help is being given in
answer to the special request of each
government. Greece was the first
to ask, China and Bolivia following
suit. Besides this Japan is now be-
ling aided in her campaign against
|leprosy, India in hers against malaria,
Persia is asking that dread epidemics
coming from the east be controlled
and prevented. The League is, of
course, doing much through its office
lat Singapore to prevent the spread
of epidemies by brodcasting notifi-
cations of such and by warning all
shipping when outbreaks occur.
Recently the League has been asked
|by the delegate from India even to
consider finding a cure for snake
bite. The number of deaths from
this cause annually is large. Serum
has been found for protection against
particular species of snakes, but
cannot a serum be found which
would prove efficacious in all cases?
This is the question which India has
asked of the Health Committee.
