MRS. COX NOTEDBEAUTY. EXCELS IN

OUTDOOR SPORTS;If Governor Cox is elected President

in November, the first lady of the land

from March 4 will be probably theyoungest and one of the most beauti-ful women who have ever graced

that high honor. She is but 30 yearsof age and looks a number of yearsyounger. Her chief beauty is her mass

of waving auburn hair, which she

wears very simply, caught in a loose,graceful coil at the back of her headHer eyes are large, brown and merry,

and she has a clear, healthy complex-ion. She is of average height and hasthe graceful figure of the athletic, out-

door woman, for Mrs. Cox excels in

riding, golf, tennis, swimming andj skating. She is always smartlydressed, affecting simple but effective

j styles.Mrs. Cox was Miss Margaretta

Blair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thom-as Blair, of Chicago. In September,

i IDI6. she was married to GovernorCox at a garden party wedding in thehome of Judge and the late Mrs. JohnBarton Payne at Elmhurst, 111., justoutside of Chicago. Notables fromall over the country attended this wed-ding and the bride received a fortunein gifts. Thomas Cox, the young sonof Governor and Mrs. Cox, died, butthey hare a wee daughter, Anne BakerCox. born last November.

Mrs. Cox is a college graduate andhas considerable personal wealth.

Governor Cox has three children byhis first wife. Helen, now Mrs. DanielMahoney, wife of her father’s asso-ciate in the Dayton News; "Jim, Jr.."18 years old. a student at Culver Mili-tary Academy, and John, aged 11.—Washington Post.

Methods of Destroying AndProofing Against Rats As

Outlined By Health Board(Hr The Press.)

WASHINGTON, July S Methods of jdestroying and proofing against ratsaro outlined in literature prepared by ;

the United States Public Health Serv-jice for use by Slate and Municipal jHealth Officers over the country In the Jcampaign which they have been asked j

• by Surgeon-General Gumming to in- j! augurate in order to protect the na-: tion against bubonic plague. The ac- !tivity of the health service results'

j from the appearance of the plague in !

l Mexican and American gulf ports and jat points in the Mediterranean.

“Rat destruction,” says the HealthService Bulletin, “can be accom-

! piished by individual effort to a Hmit-j ed degree, but to be successful in aj large city there must be rat-proofing

iof buildings. No spasmodic or indi-; vidual efforts will result in the de-sired end.

Trapping And Poisoning“Rats can be destroyed trapping,

by poisoning, and by using naturalenemies, such as certain breeds ofcats and dogs. To insure the successof these measures it is necessary tocurtail the rat food supply by proper-ly disposing of garbage and table re-fuse, and by preventing rats fromgaining access to such foods as incontained in pantries, groceries, mar-kets stables, and the like.

“Success in trapping is proportionalto the attention and industry the trap-per devotes to his traps and protec-tion of other food supplies. Two kindsof traps are generally used—the wirecage trap and the snap trap or dead-fall. The trap should be placedwherever rats have been accustomedto come for feeding purposes andshould be more or less concealed, the3nap trap by scattering dust, corn-meal or flour on or about them andthe cage trap by pieces of sacking,straw or rubbish, leaving only theopening free.

“Highly savored articles, such ascheese and toasted bacon, will morequickly attract rats than will foodwithout odor; but the idea that a ratcan be enticed into a trap by the em-ployment of bait more appetizing tohim than the surrounding food supply

EACH PERSON WILL PAYAT RATE OF $96 A YEAR

FOR 1321 LIVING COSTApproximately $9,600,000,000 will

be added to the nation’s living costs

for the year beginning with Septem-ber, J. E. Weatherly, economic ex-pert of the Department of Justice,predicted yesterday.

W’eatherly said he based his pre-

diction on the belief that the Inter-state Commerce Commission wouldbe forced to increase freight rates ap-proximately $2,000,000,000. An ap-

peal for increases totaling $1,000,-000,00 now is being considered by thecommission at the request of the rail-road managers. Another billion must

be added when the Railroad LaborBoard grants proposed wage in-creases to 2,000,000 workers, Weath-erly said he assumed.

Multiplied More Than Four Times“Increased freight rates are reflect-

| ed in living costs, not in straight pro-| portion, but magnified about 4.8," said

| Weatherly.“This is because the public pays a

I freight rate increase several times in-j stead of just once.

“One increased rate is paid when

I the cattle go from the plains wherethey grazed to the slaughterhouse.The second increase is paid when theraw hides are shipped from slaughter-

house to tannery, a third from tan-nery to shoe manufacturing house anda fourth when the finished shoe goesfrom manufacturer to dealer.

“Shoes thus show S magnification ofthe rate increase four times. In somecommodities, however, the increase ismagnified only three times.

Added To Cost Of Goods

“There is another factor; the in-j creased freight rate paid by eachdealer or manufacturer is added tohis cost of operation, on which hefigures his profits on a percentage

basis.“There seems no getting around

the fact that a freight rate increasemeans a tremendous boost in prices ofevery commodity produced in theUnited States. Every person in theUnited States is bound to feel the in-crease. It means a tax of about $96a year for each of the 100.000,000 per-

sons in the United States."A decision on the railroads’ plea

for an increase is expected from theInterstate Commerce Commissoinsoon. The last testimony in the ratehearings was taken yesterday.

is fallacious To the rat, food supplyis a question of availability anderenee is a secondary consideration.

PoiMtu Mostly Favored“The destruction of rats by poison

has always been more or less in favor.A preparation of arsenious acid orphosphorus, ten percent, and suitablebase, as cheese, meat or glucose, arethe most popular poisons. Poisonsundoubtedly have a certain efficiencyin ridding a place of rats, but whetherby causing their migration or theiractual destruction is somewhat diffi-cult of determination.

“Rat proofing excludes rats from thefood supply and deprives them of har-borage. Without this procedure it isalmost impossible to reduce the rod-ent population.

“In rat-proofing any building, thefollowing parts have to be considered:Ground area, walls, ceilings, garret,roof, bed spaces in general, ventila-tors, abandoned sewers, doors, win-

dows, outside piping, water and sew-erage pipes, down spouts, wiring andair or light shafts. By the omissionof some small detail an otherwise rat-proof structure may become badly rat-infested.”

How To Eliminate In Nutshell

In seaport cities, where the rarespecies of the brown rat and “Alex-andrian” rat prevail, health officialsare asked to make surveys to deter-mine the presence or absence of rod-ent plague.

How to eliminate the more commonspecies, including the “Norway” rat.bran rat, sewer rat, gray or whart rat,Is described as follows:

By starving him through the use ofrat-proof receptacles for food and cov-ered metal garbage cans.

By depriving him of breeding placesthrough the abolition of planked yardsand passageways.

By refusing him admission to thecomfort of your buildings, throughrat-proof construction, and screenedbasement openings.

By killing him at every opportunity.By demanding city anti-rat ordinan-

ces and State anti-rat laws.

BENSON TO REMAINON SHIPPING BOARD

President Wilson is expected short-ly to name the new shipping board of

seven members authorized under the

merchant marine act. passed at thelast session of Congress.

The new board will replace thepresent organization which consistsof five shipping commissioners, but

at present has but two working mem-bers. Admiral W. S. Benson, chair-man. and John S. Donald. Martin J.Gillen, named as member of the pres-

ent board by the President last spring. 1was not confirmed by the Senate.

Of the present members, it is un- jderstood. only Admiral Benson willbe retained. Neither Mr. Donald norMr. Gillen will be reappointed, sothe new board will consist largely ofmen who heretofore have had no part

in the direction of the government’sshipping activities. John BartonPayne, former chairman of the boardand now Secretary of Interior, hasbeen spoken of as a possible appointeefor one of the long-term Jobs on thenew board, as the member chosen torepresent the Atlantic seaboard, twothe Pacific, one the Gulf Coast, onethe Great Lakes, and one the inlandsections of the country. No more thanfour members of the board can be

mmebers of the same political party.
