Both government and state pred. atory animal inspectors are at work on plans to rid the city of the rodents, which have become highly annoying to merchants. The departments have also been flooded with suggestions aimed to help in rat extermination. One of the most radical is offered by an 1. W. W. member. He said that 10 years ago when rats began a hegira and gave theatre man- agers, actors and highly amused audiences concern by coming out on the stage without cues, a rat was painted with phosphorus, smal bell was tied around his neck, and‘the rodent was turned loose. That part of town was not troubled with rats for years after.
