(Copyright, 1920.) LONDON, England^—George F. Overhill, rat catcher to the British king, is a big man of lively wit and jovial nature. He has fought rats for thirty-seven years, is 'credited with slaying 20,000,000 of them and now feels entitled to retire to his Buckinghamshire farm, though he is only 48. “If Chicago needs my services I will go,” Mr. Overhill said to me, as he fondled a huge yellow ferret which, he said, was the father of 1,000 ferrets. “Really, my only re maining desire before jumping into my piece of freehold is to do some thing in the states. I regret refus ing an invitation from America last year, but I was held back by a flat tering offer from one of the big Lon don stores besieged by rats.” Mr. Overhill does not like the way the British rulers reward, or rather fail to reward, their really great men. “If I were a retired tea mer chant, carpet maker, actor or music hall magnate,” he declared, “my name would have been included long ago in the post-war lists of king’s honors. This is a proper pantcAnime country. The majority of our lead ing public men should be driving taxicabs. They are pitchforked into their jobs and made K. C. B.’s. Our country offers no reward, for real genius. When I go my secrets in rat manipulations go with me.” Rat catching, as Mr Overhill ex plains it, is a difficult and arduous business. Rats “run” at night, and consequently rat catchers must work at night. i "During thirty-seven years of ac tive service,” said Mr. Overhill, “I have seen only four years of day light. The average number of day light hours we enjoy is twenty-one per week. In winter—September to March—we see daylight only on Sun days. “English journalism has been kind to me. It threw much light upon my work during the great war. Through out the four years of this war my average rest was from five to six hours a day. I was continually fighting rats in hospitals, munitions factories, public institutions and the like. We had an awful shortage of foodstuffs and our rats were famish ing. They became bolder and more destructive than ever before. Not until this war had we any idea of the appalling number of rats living un derground. Then they were compell ed to come to the surface in quest of food.” Only five men in Great Britain, according to Mr. Overhill, are in the first rank of rat catchers. “We keep our methods to our selves,” he said, “though if we were fittingly honored we should be less inclined to do so. . In the. past should not have thought of letting any one outside the business watch our methods. However, if I go to America, and if America gives me a large opportunity, I shall disclose my methods fully to the world. Though so many scores of millions of rats have been caught, there is a staggering number still at liberty. “I have nine assistants, all ex-sol diers, and thoroughly broken into the business, but they do only straightforward work. They do not know the subtler touches. Still they muster something like 5,000 rats a week—black, white, brown and gray. My annual total of more than 500.000- rats is a world’s record. There is only one man in this country who is my equal-—Jack Jarvis, of Camber well. Jarvis is a rat catcher of the old type and the real article. We are both on government and London county council work, and we reduce the rat population of London an nually by well over a million.” There were two rats in Noah’s ark. if Mr. Overhill has not been misled. They were put there, is seems, by Noah’s mace bearer, one Sebastian Pirbo, a relation of Mr. Overkill's on his mother’s side. “It was Pirbo—rest his soul!" said Mr. Overhill, “who put the rats in the ark. Jarvis and I owe our bus iness to Pirbo. If he had not been a thoughtful gentleman, I might have had a knighthood. Os course one would not expect me to destroy al Ithe rats. It is only natural” — there was a twinkle in Mr. Over hill’s eye—“that I should make a point of putting back a couple of the likeliest rats in order to preserve the Species and stimulate trade. Rats multiply quickly, and it is only a short time until my services are re quired again. Os course, this was well understood by my ancestor Pirbo. "I am a freeman of the city of London and an associate of the Ver min. Repression society, to yhich I am also the chief practical expert. I am popular in church circles. It is imporant to me, therefore, to explain clearly the honorable origin and character of my profession.” Mr. Overhill has a wonderful col lection of ferrets and trained owls and weird traps. His ferrets and owl® are one of the most fascinat ing shows in London. They may be seen at his extensive laboratory—the Abbott laboratory in Whitecross place, Wilson street, Finsbury, Lon*- don. “Would you like to see the nip piest scrap you ever have seen?” Mr. Overhill inquired. I replied that I should; “Then,” said he. “one day I will bring seven rats and a wea sel to your office and give you the •entertainment of your life. In this way I have entertained some of the greatest personages and some of the most famous sports of England.” WARNING Unless you see the name “Bayer” on tablets, you are not getting genuine Aspirin prescribed by physicians for 21 years, and proved safe by millions.—Say “Bayer”! fol * SAFETY FIRST!

The picture ehows Detective Vic Young, arch enemy of store thieves, at his desk, where prisoners are questioned. BY ANGUS FHBKERSOW Shoplifters are stealing $60,000 to $70,000-a year from Atlanta stores. That estimate is made by Vic Young, head of the detective depart ment employed by the Atlanta Retail Merchants' association, to hunt the thieves whose fingers itch at the sight of silk stcokings, furs and lingerie. “I am assuming,” he said, "that we get back 40 per cent of the stolen stuff. That’s a high average when you take into consideration the suc cess of the police the country over in recovering goods from thieves. But it’s probably accurate, and, using it as a basis, I say that the shop lifter stuffs $60,000 to $70,000 a year into her handbag, under her cloak or into the baby carriage she sometimes has along.” “Why ‘Her’?” he was asked. /“Because,” he said, “ninety per cent of the shoplifters are women. Scarcely one out of a hundred,” he coritinued, “is actuated by need. Thej r all want something and they take it; then, after they’ve got it, a lot of times they don’t know what to do with it. I've searched houses and found stolen goods packed away at the bottom of a trunk, which had been there as long as three years. After stealing it the shoplifter was either afraid to wear it or didn’t want it any more.” “How many offenders do you catch?”, “About 300 a year,” he answered. “They are of all ages and all classes. Famous Songbird Works for Opera S YL. VA M * NEW YORK —Madame Marguerita Sylva, international operatic prima donna, is devoting her funds and her time to developing American grand opera. She hopes to have an opera house in every American city of more than 100,000 population and while she says she doesn’t expect to Jive to see the fulfillment of her dream, she does hope that the next generation will have opera in America as the present generation has it in Europe. Madame Sylva, said to be the greatest living Car men. has swelled the fund of her enterprise several times with the nroceeds from this opera. They range from 15 to 75 years and from women who are poor to women •who are rich. But the shop-lifter, as I said, seldom steals because she is in want. I arrested a girl the other day with six dollars’ worth of stolen goods under her coat and S6O in bills in her purse. “In the case of first offenders who show a spirit of repentance, we deal as lightly as we can with them. Many are put on what we call pro bation. They are all required to wgn an agreement not to enter cer tain stores.” W. B. Fitzgerald, secretary of the Atlanta Retail Merchants’ associa tion, joined in the talk of shop lifters. “There is no severer punishment for a woman offender than such pro bation,” he said. “She is presented with the alternative of arrest or the agreement to keep out of specified stores. In spite of that, she’ll often hesitate and almost seem to prefer jail. She appears to consider no mis fortune so great as not to be allow ed in the stores. "We have six detectives,” he ad ded, “four men and two women, and they work in close co-operation with the police. Eventually, they always get the shop thieves. If there's any thing certain it is that the shoplift er is going to be caught and punish ed. Many are doing penitentiary sentences for thefts on Whitehall, and others guilty of only first of fences are warned from the shopping district." “How do you catch the shop thieves?” "Somehow, a detectiye walking THE BOLSHEVISM QUESTION Fifteen Average Americans Give Their Views on the Russian Experiment Lawyer: "The Soviet system is what we’ll adopt sooner or later—that society is organized on economic lines instead of po litical. Each industry has different needs and our systepi of representative government should be based on industries sepa rately.” . , Coal broker: "Bolshevism seeins to me to be utterly im practical.” Day laborer: "Wherever Bolshevism has showed up in this country, it’s caused nothing but trouble. The more we get of it, the more trouble’s bound to come. Worst enemy the union work man has. He gets a black eye along with the Red.” Conductor: “I can’t find anyone that can explain Bolshev ism to me.” Farmer: "No good! They don’t want to work, but they want the farmers to keep on feeding them.” Grandma: "From all I hear, it’s a piece of mischief.” Young wife: "They’re crazy.” Reporter: “Bolshevism is based on the survival of the unfit.” Store manager: "Bolshevism is a bridge to take the Russians from czarism to democracy. They’ll cool down after a while.” Carpenter: "The American way is all right.” Toolmaker: "Let’s wait and see how the reds turn out even tually in Russia. Maybe'it’s all right.

The enemy just missed co’-, lossal success rendered possible bv the use of an entirely new war meth od, one contrary to engagements en tered into by them at the Hague con vention. ' There were elements in this first attack which were absent even from the situation created by our first use of tanks. Unfamiliarity among the troops—or the staff, for that matter —with the conception of this intangi ble weapon created an atmosphere of unparalleled confsion. Then ene my had but to exploit it fully, but failed to do so. It was argued 4>y many generous and fair-minded people in April, 1915. that this German use of gas was the result of a sudden decision, only arrived at in a desnerate effort to terminate the war. This point of view would give us maximum hope for the future. But what was the actual truth? What do we know They Were Tagged But Drew No Fines SAN FRANCISCO.—SeveraI auto owners appeared in police, court and explained they had been "tagged” by the cops for some traffic law viola tion.

Chattanoogan Killed By Prohibition Agent CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.; Oct. 26. Buford Ijessley, of Chattanooga, died here Monday night as the result of a shot fired by Cleggett Townsend, a prohibition enforcement agent. Townsend said Lessley refused to halt when ordered. The shooting took place near Wildwood, Ga. through a store can spot a shoplift er,” he answered. “I believe there’s something psychological about it. It’s not the shoplifter’s hands so much as her eyes that betrfay her. Suppose she’s about to steal silk stockings. She isn’t looking «t the stockings at dll, she’s looking all around to see Avho’s (approaching. Another woman, honest in her inten tions, would be looking' only at the stockings, not caring Who was near. "Very often babies are used as a blind,” he continued. "Not long ago one woman had a baby in a carriage. She would take goods and stuff them under a blanket throwh over the baby’s feet. But the baby got interested and began to pull the things out. When the woman was caught she was doing her best to conceal the goods, while the baby was doing all it could to get them out from under the blanket. “A woman was arrested here re cently who was playing the part of Fagan. She had a little girl 5 years old with her and a boy who was 11. They were her own children. She had the boy trained to steal things and bring them to her. "What stores would you think we have to guard most carefully?” he asked. “The ten-cent ones, he ad ded. "That’s odd, isn’t it? You would think the shoplifters would frequent only the high-priced estab lishments. But the ten-cent stores segm to have a great attraction for them. “Tell him about the woman with about German preparations, and haw far back do they date? Any preparations which occurred must have covered research on the compounds to be employed and on the protection required for the Ger man troops, their training for the cloud attack. an« the design and production of the special appliances to be used. Finally, the production of the chemicals themselves had to be faced. First consider research. The knowledge w-e have obtained of the preparations of the Germans leaves no doubt is to their intentions. The Kaiser Wilhelm institute and the Physico-Chemical institute near by were employed for research on poi son gas as early as August, 1914. A correspondent states that they were working with cacodyl oxide and phosgene, for use, it was believed, in hand grenades. "We could hear the tests.” he says, "that Prof. Haber was carrying out at the back of the institute w’ith the military authori ties, w-ho in their steel-gray cars came to Haber’s institute every mornina The work was pushed day and night, and many times I'saw ac tivity in the building at 11 o’clock in the evening. It was common know-l edge that Haber was pushing these men as hard as he could. Sachur was Prof. Haber’s assistant. Linotype Operator Sets World’s Record SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 26.

She had four false teeth, two of them gold, two of them enamel. One day she would put in the gold teeth, another time, she would wear the enamel ones. In addition, she had three wigs, blonde, brunette and white, and they all suited her. “Her idea was to change her ap pearance daily so that detectives wouldn’t spot her. One day she’d be a gold-toothed blonde, the next day a brunette with a row of white molars, and the third. day, some other combination. We arrested her in one of the best hotels here. She wa>s given a penitentiary sentence. "One of the most unusual ways Os concealing stuff I’ve seen recently was in the brim of a hat. It was a small hat, too. no larger than a man’s; yet this woman had S7O worth of silk stuff packed in there. She said she intended to buy it, and that she could carry it in her hat if she wanted to. . “Shawls,, coats and bags are the most frequent means used by shop lifters for hiding goods. Sometimes they’ll just put on things and walk off. I arrested a woman once who walked out of an Atlanta store with a $l,lOO fur coat on her back. "But I think the thing to be im pressed,” he added, “is that under our system the shoplifter is sure to be caught, and that one of two fates confronts her —restriction from the shopping district Or jail.” Mexico Sends New Dpilomat W' .

To Invite Every County Farm Demonstrator To Drainage Congress An invitation to every county farm demonstrator to attend the ninth an nual meeting of the National Drain age congress, to be held In Atlanta, November 10, 11 and 12, will be sent out during the next few days by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, while J. Philip Campbell, in charge of all county farm demonstration agents, has also issued an urgent request to the agents to attend. Judge Newt. A. Morris, first vice president of the congress, recently said that the coming meet of drain age officials from all parts of the country would be of more value to the state and to the landowners of the state, than any single thing that has happened this year. Judge Mor ris says that he expects the meeting to be the means towards starting many drainage projects throughout Georgia, thereby reclaiming some of the 5,000.000 acres now lying useless. Edmund T. Perkins, of Chicago, president of the association, spent several days in Atlanta last week, and approved the plans which are being made to take care of the ninth annual meeting. President Perkins, at a luncheon given him at th© Ans ley hotel, stressed the value of the convention to Atlanta, and the south, declaring that other states where the congress had held annual meetings had profited to a marked extent by virtue of the meetings. A feature of the entertainment of the delegates, will be a trip around the state, which has been arranged by R. S. Abbott, secretary of the Greater Georgia association. This trip will include a visit to Savan nah, Brunswick, Waycross, the Okefenokee swamp and to points of interest in middle and north Geor gia. The .tour is to commence fol lowing the adjournment of the meet ings in Atlanta. Surgeons Missed Six Shrapnel Slugs PHILADELPHIA.—Six pieces of shrapnel, overlooked by the surgeons overseas, were taken from the body of Joseph Gryer at the Pennsylvania hospital. Gryer, who is twenty-one years old, served in France. with the Three Hundred and Fifteenth in fantry, and was wounded severely by shrapnel. He was in a hospi tal there for a long time, but the physicians evidently failed to complete their task. For some time past Gryer had been complaining of pains in his chest and arms, and he was rushed to the hospital w r hen these pains became aggravated and phy sicians said he was dying. Now it is believed he will recover. WOMAN SHOOTS RIVAL TWICE ON' STREET IN ATHENS ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 26.—A sensa tional shooting occurred Mohday morning, about 11 o’clock, in of the "Q” room, on College avenue, this city, when Mrs’. Hugh Weatherly shot and probably seriously wounded Mrs. Avie Moon, two bullets being fired into the body of the latter. The first bullet struck the stay of Mrs. Moon’s corset and bounded back, not injuring the woman. The second bul let entered the woman’s breast and may prove serjous. The first sh6t struck the finger of Mrs. Weatherly. It is said that she held out her hand to hold off the other and in shooting struck her own hand. She was taken to a doctor and her hand dressed. A case was entered against her. The shooting followed an argu ment between the two women when they met on the street. A crowd col lected at once. One of the university students grabbed the pistol from the hands of the enraged woman. Police took Mrs. Weatherly in charge and an ambulance was called for Mrs. Moon. She was taken to a down town doctor for an X-ray examina tion. Later, she was taken to the Athens general hospital for medical attention. A 32-calibre pistol was used in the shooting. Mr. Weatherly is in jail awaiting trial on charges of violating the Mann act, it being alleged that he and Mrs. Moon made a trip to South Carolina, whene they llx'd as man and wife. It is said that Mrs. Weath erly paid the cost of bringing the couple back to Athens, later with drawing the suit. Mrs. Moon is said to have declared that she would have weatherly still, and the case charg ing Weatherly and Mrs. Moon with violation of the Mann act then was made. Mrs. Moon was out bn bo-nd. Mrs. Weatherly is the mother of nine children. She lives on Lumpkin street, and is well-known in the city. She is about fifty-five years old. Mrs. Moon has two children and is aboift thirty years old. She lives in Bishop, Ga., but has spent a great part of her time in Athens. The shooting attracted thousands to the scene. Students from the uni versity flocked to the place. It was in the center of the business, and uni versity district. A number of people were near and saw the shooting. When Mrs. Moon was taken to the ’doctor she was conscious and was still smiling. She seemed to be un conscious of the-notoriety and inter est that had been aroused, and in which she was a prominent figure. She appeared as Well as usual although a bullet was lodged in her, she appeared as well as usual. Attorneys for both women have been engaged. Macon Merchant Killed Trying to Clean Rusty Pistol MACIN, Ga., let. 26.—Mr. J. W. Johnston, forty-eight, merchant of Macon who shot himself late Mon day afternoon, came to his death from accidental discharge of a pistol which he was cleaning at the time, according to a verdict of the coro ner Tuesday, following an inquest. Mrs. Johnston said her husband had left the store and was on the way to the bank to make a deposit when he delayed for a few minutes.. He went in his room to clean his pistol. The necessary rags and oil were furnished by Mrs t Johhston, who returned to’the porch where a number of friends were waiting. Be fore he had been in the room three minutes, a shot was heard and Mrs. Taylor found him lying face down ward in the middle of the room in a pool of blood. An investigation disclosed that four of the five cartridges had been removed from the revolver, which was old and rusty, the shell of the fifth bullet remaining in the cham ber. The exact manner in which Mr. Johnston came to his death is un known, as the revolver was of an ol dmake and the cylinders were rusty, the explosion might have been caused by the instrument he was using to extract the cartridges from the Chambers, officers said. The deceased, who was a son of the late Mr. John William Johnston, pioneer citlzeh of Macon, is survived by his wife, Mrs. J. W. Johnston, and three daughters, Ruth, Mary and Sara; three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Jobson, Mrs. O. J. Copeland and Mrs. Frank Taylor, of Macon.
