' ENORIMOUS DAMAGE BY RATS Loss by Rodents to Produce and Property in United States Amounts to $200,000,000 Annually.

Damage by rats to produce and property in the United States amounts to about $200,000,000 annually. Injury to farm produce starts when the seed is first planted and continues through the growing season and harvest, in the wholesale and .retail markets, and often in the home of the consumer. Such losses in the aggregate so affect.the ultimate price of foodstuffs that -everyone shares them, whether he maintains rats on his premises or not. - - _ : For information regariling the relation of the rat to the public health, address the surgeon general, - United States Public Health Service, Washington, D.

NEW USE FOR ALUMINUM

Metal Being Used for Making Stage Scenery in Place of Canvas- : Covered Wood Frames.

From Chemnitz, in Saxony, comes the news of the use of aluminum as a substitute for wood in a truly novel manner. Sheets of thin aluminum are being used for stage scenery in place of the usual canvas-covered wood frames.

This innovation was originally introduced on account of the exceedingly high price of wood at that time; but repeated trials have econvinced the management of the Chemnitz opera house, where the experiment was first introduced, that saving in expense is not the only advantage. The scenery, in the first place, is lighter even than the old-style frames; it is not subject to danger from fire, and scenery may be painted on both sides of it, an impossibility in the days of the old-style sets. Moreover, painted scenes can easily be erased and new ones substituted. :

The acoustic properties of the new material seem to be a 8 good as those of the old scenery. , ; The aluminum is delivered at the theater in roughly rolled sheets of the size and form of the original wooden sections of scenery. Its thickness is from 5 to 8 millimetres (0.2 to 0.3 inch).—Scientific American. »

Careful driving won’t do much good unless it is supplemented ‘by careful walking. \ Pedestrians seeking a .chance -to cross traffic can see it just as well from the sidewalk as from the middle of the street. : : Pedestrians prefering to be hit by slow-moving cars will cross in front of traffic just as it has been released by the traffic cop’s whistle, But those wishing to be killed at high speed will dodge around the rear of a street car. A hick town is one in which the inhabitants cross the street in the middle of the block. Let us all, ladies and gentlemen, do our best to keep our city in the hick class by cutting across at any point where the danger is gredtest, .

. For Best Rural Service. e .

The awarc will be made by a board represenging the agricultural and educational interests of the county. No rural service or achievement is barred whethe: moral, physical or material. With the trophy as a stimulus, some gooc work should be expected from Noble Coubty. At any rate a start has beei] made in that diercetion. A more ex) tensive program than ever before ha: been worked out. There are 33¢ spceific duuties to perform and 274 different individuals lined up to. dc the work.
