I?;/ Science Service WASHINGTON. July 4.—The meadow mouse looks soft and pretty and harmless, but he is a most expensive guest just the same. Vernon Bailey of the United States Biological Survey, has been figuring his board bill, with rather startling results. A meadow house eats about thirty grams, or a little over an ounce of green food every day. That runs up to twenty-three pounds in a year. A hundred mice will stow away over a ton of green grass or clover in a year. Even as few as ten meadow mice to the acre on 100 acres of meadow would take about eleven tons of grass or five and one-half tons of hay a year. Thus number, on the 65,000.000 acres of hay raised in the thirtyeight mouse states of the country, would cause a loss of over 3.000.000 tons of hay a year, or a money loss of some $30,000,000 annually in hay alone.

Only a few wisps of smoke arose from the steep southern slope of Mt. Tamalpais today as hundreds of families who had evacuated their homes when a portion of the town was destroyed by forest fires Tuesday and Wednesday began to put their dwellings in order again. Furniture and other valuable property that had been carried from many houses were returned to their regular places, thus reducing the danger of loooting. Only three cases of theft were reported. The absence of looting on a large scale was considered remarkable, since many expensive belongings piled helter-skelter on the ground or in automobiles, had not been guarded. The blaze destroyed 110 houses, valued at more than $1,000,000. ACCELERATOR STICKS. CAUSING CAR CRASH One Man Injured in Peculiar Accident; Davis Arrested.
