The poveniment Bureau of
' Biological S u r v c y lx-lpod
drepiislnirsr, X. ('., to rid its
business district of rats. The
rats, thousands of them, in the
basement of one drug store,
were killed liy a poison called
"squill" mixed with ground
fresh fish mackerel.
Siiiill, a bulb that (trows wild
along the Meterranean Sea- kills
rates, and doesn't hurt human
beings or domestic animals.
Providence seems to have made
that poison especially for rats.
This part is interesting. The
first "rat baits" were laid
down where the rats would find
it without any poison in it.
That inspired confidence. Other
baits," with sipiill, were laid,
11,000 of them. The rats ate,
and passed on.
That's the plan of get-rich-quick
schemers. They let vic
tims make a little "easy"
money at first. Then the other
thing happens.
Mrs. Bobby Burns, widow
lady of Baltimore, learned box
ing from her late husband, and
asks the state athletic commis
sion to let her enter the prize
ring anil fight for the gate
money.
M'rs. Burns has fought, in pri
vate fights ii ml the boxing com
ing commission, it is reported,
will examine her physically to
make sure that she is fit to
fight. -
Somebody else ought to ex
amine the public, and make
sure that it is fit to watch wom
en in the prize ring. .
Such a spectacle should help
to terminate prize fight bru
tality. It is not likely that Mary
land, which respects women
will permit female prize fight
ing. The Farm Belief Commis
sion might investigate Califor
nia's peach crop problem. The
state produced last year over
(iOO.OOO tons of fine peaches.
One-third of the crop was
wasted on the ground before
the canneries, on whom grow
ers depend, decided to offer a
price.
Xow, within a week of pick
ing, the canneries have set no
price, and growers do not know
where they stand.
They want ifcSO a ton, 4 cents

OSAKA, Japan, July 19. (8)
The correspondent of the Osaka
Asa hi telegraphed his paper today
that the Russians had assumed the
offensive ' and had captured the
border cities of Pogranichnaya and
Manchuli.
Pngrnnichmaya- ind . Manchuli
are border points, the former
about 1 50 miles north of Vladivo--stok
and the latter 1,000 miles
a way across Manchuria. Jioth are
key positions to the Chinese East
ern raftway.
Neither place Is of Industrial or
commercial importance.
Manchuli is definitely In Man
churia, being about 10 miles from
the border. Pobranichanayu, n re
cording to nvalluble atlases, is on
the Russian, side of the bolder,
and the use of the word "cap
ture" by the-Osaka Asahl corre
spondent presumably would mean
that the Russians have expelled
the Chinese there and taken over
entire possession of the place and

PLAN PETITION
Fruit Men Back Effort for
Protection Packing Plants
Canned Heat Addicts
and Loafers Seen As Fire
Menace. .......
Following the report yesterday
of C. C. Lemmori, chairman of the
council committee of the Kogue
River Traffic association, that he
had premmted the matter of police
protection -for dhe fruit packing
plant district to the city council,
"but did not get very far with it."
business men and property owners
in general took notice, and plans
are afoot for the circulation of a
petition demanding that the request
be granted.
The fruit packing industry is the
backbone of the community finan
cial life, and a fire of any conse
quence during the shipping Beason
would be something of a catastro
phe. A fire in the loading phtt
fntniH of tho Med ford Ice & Colli
Storage Company would demoral
ize fruit shipping for days unti
cause a heavy loss alike to ship
pers, growers and business men,
and the community in general.
Tramps, canned heat addicts
domestic and foreign and the lo
cul riff-raff find the space beneath
the packing plants ideal places tor
sleeping, smoking, and imbibing
their fiery concoctions after cook
ing the same over a small fire. Un
like the careful camper, they do
not put their fires out. This con
dition alarms the packers, ns well
it may.
One of the arguments against
spociitl police protection was thaf
i f he space beneath the plants ' was
not hoarded up." There is only
i about 20 miles of boarding up to
be done and, even then, there is
no guarantee that the unwelcome
lodgers would not tear off a few
hoards to crawl beneath the build
ings. Shippers interviewed this morn
ing said the issue was nothing to
I spit hairs over; that they did not
(know or care what the political
I significance of the situation
nmotinted to, and many felt that
"the police might as well lie mobll
i Ized in the packing district, where
they could do some good, as around
I the Nash hotel."
I Mayor Pipes said that he was In
t favor of granting the request of
J tho packers without any nrgument.

The door of the convent, in
which refugee nuns from Mexico

of prohibition violation.
Dismissal of at least four offi

XKW YORK, July III. Pi The

So says Dr. Thomas Darli'imton,
widely known physician, Presby
terian elder and former city health
commissioner, and Stuart Chase,
writer. Bank clerks and salesmen,
perspiring into their wilted collars
while their wives trip ubout in

A change lhat means no belts,,
no collarx, no boiled shirts, no

( Dr. Darlington is appearing pub

It consists of a- washable tan
i poplin suit, with loosa trousers and
I a coat cm like a Russian smock,

two inch standing collar, a cotton
union suit, shoe and socks.
"A man's hips aren't built to.

j "I hold my trousers up with

I "Occasionally I'm asked to leave

"Men won't he acquiring ntom-
