The discordant testimony of {
half-milllon starving cats in Chicago
goes to show that modern fats ant
garbage cans and cement sidewalks
have reduced the rat population O
some districts to the vanishing point
This discovery was made by the Anti
Cruelty Society in trying to provide
for the starving horde of homeless
cats which bewail their backyard
vicissitudes until the city canno
sleep. No sooner has one Homeless
Tabby howled itself Iaint than another
and another take up the chant. Oper
garbage barrels in the alleys have
been displaced by covered cans, and
that spells hunger for unattached
felines, also Homeless Hectors, who
dodge the dog catchers II summer and
have to rustic for their meals in colo
weather Superintendent Krause Of
the Anti-Cruelty Society has made this
suggestion: .If every woman in Chi
cago would adopt one cat there would
be no cat problem. AS it is, / receive
no end of letters complaining about
\ the cat nuisance caterwauling in the
dead of night, for instance. My rem
! edy is to have all the dog-pound wag
y ons provided with separate com
partment for cats, and to have gen
eral cleaning up throughout the city
4 of homeless felines. They could be
put out Of existence by the use Of
charcoal fumes"
