The tree itself is a dwarf chestnut, although It has grown out of Its dwarfness to a great extent. It is a scion of the famous wishing tree in Hyde park, London. It is located immediately west of the Jackson statue, about 25 feet, and is in full sight of all the windows on the north Side of the White House. The wishing tree, as its name indicates, possesses rare powers, or at least it Is supposed to, in that every wish that Is made under its branches comes true some time or other.

Each enumerator is to receive for his work from two to four cents per capita, and in some regions where there is not much density of population they are to receive a per diem of from four to five dollars. Enumerators are required to work eight hours a day and must have their work completed in two weeks in cities of 5,000 and over, and in sparsely settled communities within 30 days. In districts where foreign languages are spoken it will be the duty of supervisors to select enumerators versed in foreign languages If possible, and where these are not available, the services of interpreters may be eni gaged, 3.000 temporary Approximately clerks clerks will be appointed for the census work, and the date of the first examination will be October 23 next, throughout the United States at various cities.

RAT CLUBS and other societies for warfare on destructive rodents may leap Into popular favor umong housekeepers, now that the government bus officially sanctioned this method of extermination of the worst mammal pest In the United States. The rat has been recognized .by the government as a problem. Its activity in disseminating infectious dis- eases has long loomed up as a danger signal to the health authorities, and losses from Us depredations run into many million dollars a year, according to an official statement Just issued by the department of agricul- ture. Dr. David E. Lanti of the bureau of biological survey has taken vigoroua bold of the question, and thus he proceeds to throw a bomb into tht camp of believer in the cat as a rat "However valuable cats may be as mousers, few of them learn to catch rats. The ordinary house cat Is too well fed and consequently too lazy to undertake the capture of any animal as formidable as the brown rat. Birds are much more to Its liking. "Itats have developed so much Intelligence and such extraordinary caution that attempts to exterminate thorn The failures have rerely succeeded. have been due not so much to a I n k of effective methods an a lack of certain precautions and absence of concerted action." The department in a bulletin emphasizes the importance of rat clubs and suggests that Interest in organized rat hunts may be stimulated by offering prlzea or rewards in various communities to the individual hauling forth the greatest number of dead rats after one of the crusades. Tamphlets dealing with the rodent problem and suggestive of ways In which the rat may be eventually routed from Its haunts have been scattered broadcast among the farms and villages all over the United States, and the department expects to make Its campaign la this direction oue of thoroughness.
