TAX ON CATS PLAN OF
MILL VALLEY WOMEN
Suffragettes Plead With Judge
to Make Law Regarding
Feline Pets

MILL. VALLEY, Aug. 1.-Two well
known Mill Valley women are agitating g
the proposition of putting a tax on
cats. They have signified their In
tention of carrying the proposition to
the legislature if necessary.
The town recorder admits that the
women are well known and that they
were serious in their arguments for
the taxing of the felines, but he re-
fuses to give their names. Mrs. Anna
Hahn Is reported to be one.
During the latter part of the week
the two women went into Judge Fo-
trells office. We want a tax put on
cats, Mr.. Fotrel1 VIII you please
make a law to that effect?"
What. tax cats?" asked the judge.
'fYes. tabbies,'' spoke up the suffra-
gist. ST have 23 felines of different
ages in my cellar now. That is, | did

ably there are more there now"
The recorder looked properly sym
pathetic and explained that he could
not make the law.

COLORADO AGAIN
ON BEACH IN FOG
High Tide Floats the ArmOred
Cruiser From Dangerous
Position

SEATTLE, Aug. 15.-The armored
cruiser Colorado was released from its
position aground at Liplip point in
Puget sound, 25 miles from Seattle.
late this afternoon. The Colorado had
struck the beach during heavy fog
seven hours earlier in the day. The
release. came with high tide and the
aid of the vessels own power.
Captain Underwood, commanding the
cruiser, believes that the damage is
nominal and confined to the spring
ing OF plate bolts on the starbOard
side. Orders from the navy depart
ment recalled the cruiser to the navy
yard, Puget sound, where an investi-
cation will disclose the repairs re-
quired.
Navigators who viewed the cruiser
ashore, fix the vessel as two miles out
of the regular steamer channel and
proceeding at least two compass points
off her proper course. In wireless
messages sent by Captain Underwood
the point of grounding was given as
Double bluff, a location five miles dis
tant
Fogs that prevailed when the Colo
rado grounded were the heaviest of
the year and wholly obscured the
shore. The first intimation Of danger
came with a sight Of the beach but a
few yards dead ahead. The difficulties
Of navigation had prompted the stand
ing of anchor Watches An anchor
was hurriedly put over and with a
reversing of the engines the shock of
grounding was but slightly felt aboard
The precautions are considered impor-
tant in preventing the total destruc-
ton Of the vessel among heavy boul-
ders that dot the shore line.
Captain Underwood gives high praise
for the conduct of the officers and crew
of the Colorado for their promptness
of action during the time of danger.
In addition to the usual complement
Of navigating officers he was on the
bridge when the cruiser struck.
A board Of naval officers will be
detailed to examine into conditions
surrounding the accident and If pos
sible to fix the responsibility.

NELSON AND CANS
SERVED UP AGAIN

1t is sopething of the same layout
with Cans and Nelson. 1t is but two
short months ago that the Durable
Dane laid the then champion low. and
very decisively at that. Nelson won as
clean a victory as any man who ever
entered a ring did. He proved con-
clusively that he is Cans master. Then
why should the same men be diShed
up again in the same ring?
The fight probably will be big card
and draw out a great house, but would
not the fan who pays his good money
to see these things rather gaze a a
mixup between Nelson and somebody
whom he has not beaten2 1t stands to
reason that he would. Still he must
be satisfied with a warmed over one
simply because the promoter thinks it
looks good.

EYE ON TOMMY BURNS

1t will be interesting to watch tn.
future movements of Tommy Burns in
order to discover whether or not the
champion ounce picker of them all is
on the square in his desire TO fight
Eetchel or whether he is trying to get
away with another fine stall and thus
make the road to more easy money in
Australia a bit easier to travel
1t is also peculiar how Tommy came
around this time A few months ago,
when promoters were offering him
every known inducement to take a
chance against Jack Johnson, Burns
drew himself up haughtily and an
nounced that it must be $30 600 or
nothing for his bit with the negro. OF
course this was the same as declining
to fight Johnson and everybody took
it as such.
If Burns really wants to go against
Ketchel he will have every chance in the
world. The young Michigan lion is MOI
afraid of him. He fears nobody who
ever donned a glove. Burns may rest
assured that Ketehel will give him all
the fight he requires and at any time
he desires. And Tommy will not win
it in a round or two, or three or ten
or anything like that.
There is no question that the
meeting between the men for the
heavy weight championship would
prove a pugilistic treat. Even though
he has acted like a shoe string boxer
Burns can fight He has it in him. We
all know what Ketchel is, so it is up to
us to sit and think and think it over
while the promoters are vying with one
another TO land the prize.

MCFARLAND IN LINE

There is no question that '.Packey'
Mcfarland, the pride of the Chi
cago stockyards. looms up very
prominently as the most logical OPP
ponent for the new lightweight cham
pion of the world to tackle in short
order A mill between Nelson and Nc
Farland would be great, live care
and one to draw out a representative
crowd of real fight enthusiasts.
Here is a match that some local pro-
moter should make, and make quickly
too, while both men are big cards ir
the eyes OF the public. This should
prove fight that is fight. While q
meeting between Burns and Ketchel is
looked upon as a wonderful affair, still
it has nothing on a mixup between Mel
son and Mcfarland over distance OF
10 rounds
Mcfarland has shown the fans re-
Gently that he can fight. He is a good
boxer and hard hitter and has youth
and vitality and confidence, just the
sort of man to wade in and make
Battling Nelson exert himself and
bring out all the sterling fighting quail
tiles which have made him such a
great favorite with the public in every
city where he ever fought.
Nelson would unquestionably give
Mcfarland a fight. Though he an
nounced when he beat Cans that he
did not care If hk. ever saw a boxing
glove again, stilF 1t stands to reason
that Bat would not allow a lot OF
money to slip by him, especially as he
would be able to do the debating and
incidentally, figure to protect his proud
title against the other fellow.

the center and a tassel attached to
one end. so that when thrown over

HAND SEWING ON WHITE GOODS
The Best and Easiest Methods of Fin
ishine OF Seams.

II is essential in sewing on any light
weight materials to finish off seams
and the wrong side of garments neat.
ly One of the most popular methods
of finishing off seam is called the
French seam, and II Is quickly and
easily made and has a neat look when
finished. Run a plain seam on the
right side of the goods and trim it off
quite closely Open the goods, crease
II, and then turn the garment, running
OFF seam on the wrong side. This
produces a sort of a double seam,
which is delightfully."- neat to finish and
which is stronger by far than an or
binary seam.
The filled edge also is the ideal fin
ish for white underwear. A seam OF
ordinary depth is taken on the wrong
side and one edge is trimmed about an
eighth of an inch and the other is left
to its full depth, A slight fold is
Tapped over and felled down, This
makes fiat finish that has the appear
ancc of a band over the seam.
The daintiest and neatest way OF let
ting embroidery into the material is tc
cut the muslin of close to the EN-
broidered edge and then roll the edge
