Charlie of Comfort who helped us so much when
were starting this Brotherhood. The poor
fellow says: I am down and nearly out with

thirteen years, that he has been lying flat his
back, he has been helping the helpless, comforting
the afflicted bringing sunshine to the shut-ins,-

with pain and disease, and for his necessities of
life. Now that he has come to darker hour
we must try to send him few rays of sunshine
Let us all mail him a card short letter
of cheer and encouragement, and do it right away.
Boys and girls ask especially that you do this

Boat Alert Leads TO Read

Seeeiol Diseateh to The Call


SANTA BARBARA. Aug 1S-Ths
continued success of. Santa Barbara's
new yacht cup defender Alert has led
to readjustment of the time allow
-ances- The new ratings become eHec-
tive tomorrow, when the arbitrary han
dicap will be run.
The Santa Barbara boat won the
local club perpetual cup today offered
for a race open to all classes. Six
boats were entered and finished in the
following order over a six mile tri-
angle. the hgures given being cor
refted time:
Alert. 5O:22; winsome. South Coast
cIuD, 9O:95; Wasp, South Coast. 51:O9;
Mahpe, South Coast 53:25; Siwash,
sunset 1:00:59; Mischief /, South Coast,
1:01:20.
Perhaps the best test of the speedy
Alert today came in showing against
! the Wasp. the. boat most nearly OF it's
/ measurement and class. The .Wasp's
| handicap allowance was two minutes
greater than the Alert. The latter
covered the course in minutes and IS
seconds less time than the Wasp
There was also much satisfaction
among the Santa Barbara yachtsmen
over the fact that the Alert outsafled
the Mischief. South Coast boat with
many victories 10 it's credit. The AIert's
lead over the Mischief was more than
seven minutes elapsed time and three
minutes corrected time.

astonished the visiting bOatmen with
the sensational handling of his craft.

Baseball Notes

Carlisle got a homer. double and triple
out OF four trips to the plate and. incidentally
he registered two himself This is some
work for one in one afternoon.
Carson was hardly himself It's long time
since the former great Portland and later tryout
cub pitcher was walloped IS hard as the Seals
wailoped him yesterday. He was ready to be
taken out when Hogan acted,
The Seals played almost perfect ball in the
neld- The only error was that bad peg Of
Berrys to third base. and il was a costly one
for 1t allowed the Villagers one OF their four
tallies.
As usual. all the Oakland fans rooted against
the Seals. Nobody ever said 4 word when San
Francisco did anything startling. but whenever
a Vernon player made good there was a mighty
roar from the stand and bleachers 1t seemed
as though every San Francisco roOter stayed at
home.
Baseball is getting to be such a profitable
business in Oakland that the management has
found Ii necessary to erect another flock Of
bleachers in the right field. These will be COM
peted in time for the Sunday morning game
across the bay, when additional thousand
fans can be taken care Of very comfortably.
This just goes to show what winning ball club
can accomplish.

TABBY is
CARRIER OF DISEASE
Common House Cat Branded
Menace to Health

1t is a strong indictment that DR.. a
X Fisher of the biological survey of
the United States department of agri-
culture brings against the house cat
Peaceful Tabby. the pet of the children
he says, is carrier of the most dam
gerous disease germs, especially those
of tuberculosis, smallpox and diphthe-
ria, which 1urk in the long, soft fur
upon which the baby delights to rub its
cheek. Moreover. Doctor Fisher de-
clares that the cat is as susceptible to
hydrophobia as the dog, and although
they do not bite the people as often.
still cases of hydrophobia from cat
bites are not infrequent.
The biological survey has been gath
ering data of disease infection caused
by cats and intends soon to publish a
bulletin citing specific cases says the
Springfield. Mass, Union. The survey
also advocates the passage of laws re-
quiring the. licensing of house cats,
and the determination of stray cats, as
most of the danger is said to be caused
by the clean house cats coming in
contact with the sickiy and i'll cared for
alley cats. The cat is naturally a
roaming animal, and however Carefully
watched will find opportunity to stink
out and mingle with dirty. infected
cats that live in squalid disease breed
ing surroundings.
M. Bergeron, distinguished French
scientist, cites two cases in which cats
were found to be infected with tuber-
cular germs. In both Instances the cats
were pets in families where young
girls died of tuberculosis. Soon after
ward the cats died. and post mortem
examinations revealed unmistakabl
signs of tuberculosis.
1t is also charged by Doctor Fisher
that the cat spreads ringworms, a very
painful and sometimes dangerous dis
ease, to which rats and mice are very
susceptible. From the rodents it. is
transmitted to the cats and from the
latter to human beings, especially chill
dren. In fact, it was the frequent ap-
pearance of ringworms on the hands
of babies in homes where cats were
kept as pets that first turned suspicion
TO the cat as germ carrier.
Doctor Fisher also belittles the claim
of the cat to consideration as an ex-
terminator of mice and rats, asserting
that he has learned from observation
that only about per cent of cats are
mousers. Cats prefer birds to mice. he
says, and will spend twice as much
time hunting the feathered quarry He
expresses the opinion that little harm
would be done if the whole cat tribe
were exterminated, but anticipates that
there would be too much opposition to
that. However, he believes that when
all of the facts that have been learned
regarding the cat have been made pub
lie mothers will be more careful about
permitting their children to fondle the
felines.
These views, coming from a medical
authority so high as the government
biological survey, must be regarded as
something more substantial than mere
prejudice based on false conclusions
hastily arrived at. The physicians of
the department undoubtedly have been
making a careful and exhaustive in
vestigation of the subject. and their
case against the cat is buttressed with
strong and convincing facts which will
appear in the forthcoming bulletin.
