MORGAN URGES DRIVE ON RATS
Clean Up Piles of Boards And Brush, Health Chief Suggests.
If there are rats in or around your home as there are in many an Indianapolis home, you may go a long way toward correcting the matter with a quick survey of the surrounding territory. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Board secretary, who estimates that rat population of the City to be as much as the human population, urged householders to take what action they can. He said that favorite breeding grounds of rats are under piles of boards and brush that may appear orderly from the outside but probably contain rat nests.
Urges Co-operative Fights
These should be destroyed, he said. The pile of boards may be in a vacant lot near your home. He suggested that neighbors join in expeditions to eliminate such breeding grounds. Dr. Morgan said that such proceedures will not materially cut the rat population of the city but they may drive the rats away from a given neighborhood. . Trapping rats is very difficult because they are pretty intelligent and very crafty, he said.
$25,000 Needed
He estimated that it would require $25,000 a year for three years and then a permanent crew of exterminators to rid the city of rats, and pointed out that Indianapolis would be quarantined if it was a coastal
wn. Z Rats, he said, are a public health menace and they do a great deal of property damage. Only experts are notably successful at’ exterminating them, he said—experts who know their habits and know how to fool them. : There are many preparations that can be bought which are supposed to kill them. Among the most interesting is one that causes a disease only rodents can get which resembles pneumonia.
Rats Suffocate
Confracting this disease, the rat will make every effort to get outside because he is, to all intents and purposes, suffocating. Failing escape into the open, the rat will go as nearly as possible to the center of the room and there die, as far away from any oppressing wall as possible. The virus is spread on bread. A rat won't eat what is obviously left for him. You have to appear to be keeping it out of his reach.

Their sympathy aroused, citizens of Marion took up a cash donation that totaled $11 at the latest tabulation. Thirty-five cents of the sum was ear-marked for a bushel of oats. Other contributions included two bushels of corn and a bale of hay. Only one thing was lacking to make Nellie entirely ing? in her old age—some straw for bed. “
CRUISER BELFAST HIT BY SUB, NAZIS CLAIM
BERLIN, Nov. 24 (U. P.).—The High Command announced today
that a German U-bpat had con-| firmed the torpedoing of the Brit-|.
day. “1 have lain awake nights recently trying to decide what the Legislature meant to say in several laws now on the books,” he said. “Last night, after working sev= eral days on one opinion involving some vague construction of the law, I dreamed about it all night. “It is obvious in many instances that the legislators didn’t mean what some of the clauses in the laws actua)ly say. Members of the court have to read between the lines in many instancés to reach “a sensible conclusion of the laws.” The Chief Justice said the trouble apparently is the result of the multiple redrafting of scores of bills. “Often extensive research and careful thought has gone into the drafting of many measures before
they reach the Legislature, but by|
the. time they get through all the conference committees and amended half a dozen times, the laws as passed contain vague and ‘ambiguous clauses,” he said. On the other hand, he said, many bills are presented by persons who have never even read the Constitution and the measures never get straightened out in legal form be-
