PRESENTATION OF CATS
SOLVES RAT PROBLEM

Washington. July IA long and
plaintive cry like that of a cat in dis
tress came from somewhere in the vi
cinity of the desk of Representative
Tawney, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations.
Meow-ow-w-w-"T The cry was sharp
and evidently prompted by fright.
"Great Jehosophat, where's that cat?'
exclaimed the astonished Mr.. Tawney,
getting down on "all fours." He found
under his desk fancy green and white
basket. AS he lifted 1t and deposited
1t upon the table there was a scratch
ing inside which changed to purring
as soon as the cover of the basket was
raised.
On a carpet Of cotton sat Maltese
kitten. all fluffy and round as a ball.
While Mr. Tawney was stroking the
kitten, in walked Representatives Mann
of Illinois, and Smith of Michigan.
whats that kitten?" they asked
in chorus.
"Why, some one sent me one, too, ="
said Mr.. Mann.
And me, too" added Mr.. Smith.
The kittens had been sent anony-
mously and had been left with the
messengers at the offices of the Con-
gressmen. who were at a loss to un-
derstand why they had been remem-
bered in that fashion until Mr.. Mann
recalled that they had engaged in a
debate in the House a few days before
concerning the use of cats in keeping
rats out of the Treasury building.
