and tough.
Cook declared war after they
had become so bold as TO chew up
the revolving door through which
the President passes when he ad-
dresses Congress.
The Capitol cats gave UP when
"Willoughby," who never was too
bright, blundered into an ambush
one night and was annihilated so
thoroughly that he lost all nine
lives.
In desperation, Cook rounded up
200 rat traps, laid in a supply
of acknowledgements bait, and
appointed one OF his laborers, Jim
Young. chief OF the anti-rat squad.
Young, who carries special iron
club for self-protection, Is scien
tific. Instead Of setting just one
trap outside rat hole, he sets
four or five in circle, and the
rats apparently bounce off one into
another. Very effective, says
Young, whose high score for a
single night is 81.

Describing the break as "sensa-
tional," Warden James A. John
ston said II was made as the con-
victs were at work in the yard, max
ing concrete blocks. The four des-
perate men overpowered Guard
captain Henry Weinhold, bound
and gagged him and tossed him
into a building. Then they took the
same measures with Custodial or
ficer George Smith.
Stripping to their undershirts,
the men coated their bodies with
grease which they had been using
on the block moulds and slipped
through a model shop window fac
ing the Golden Gate. Three Of
them plunged into the bay, while
Hunter dashed along the shore
towards the north end OF the is
land.
The attempted break was seen
by another guard who sprayed the
men with bullets from his rifle and
then turned in the alarm.

tip and use the rest of the ear.
Control of the corn earworm has
not been easy. Most materials

them unfit for use, but with the dis

is now possible to kill the worm
without that danger

Mrs. Naomi Silvis also works at

supplies, on which she carries paints
and paper to the men. Just now
she Is teaching them to make their
own Christmas cards and she hopes
some day to have an exhibit of
their work.
Mrs. F. w. Holt is on a committee
which is collecting books for the
floating library for the marines.
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor also Is a
member of that committee.
Mrs. Morrison Clark is chairman
OF committee which is working out
plan for decorating and furnish
ing the new suburban hospital now

But even with all the busy life
OF these Bethesda women there al
ways are few parties in the neigh
borhood, especially on week ends.
