"But, Susie! We were only talking about Cleopatra. You know her!" Her eyes snapped fire.
"I sure do know about her! She's one of those burlesque queens down at the Folly Theayter on Main

"But—"

"What was it the Doc said, Wemple? Quick!"
He looked up from his sixth beer, winked and nodded rakishly.
"Doc says to Brindell van Hastings, `You've given me a marvelous idea! I'm going to build me a

A NEW USE FOR RATS

A CCORDING to the yearbook published by the United States Department of Agriculture, rats are
very useful "test tubes" in which to test the value of foods to be consumed by humans. The reason given
for this is that a rat's appetite is very similar to that of a human which also explains why rats prefer to live
in homes rather than in the outdoors. The rat is also preferred to dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits, all good
food testers, since the rat is inexpensive. They require very little living space and can be fed for only 50c
a year while a rabbit costs $4.50, and a dog $15.00.
