ON CATS
PROTECT BIRDS
Woman Advocates Scheme Whereby
Puss Would be Deprived Of
Many Square Meals.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 27.-Mrs.
J. D. Murphy, living at 1927 East
Riverside avenue, is advocating a
movement in Spokane that all owners
OF cats provide their pets with bells
In the interest Of preserving the
birds of song, which are now coming
back to their haunts for the summer.
Mrs. Murphy has interested a large
number of club and society women
In her campaign and 1t is likely that
Bell on Cat" society will be or
ganized to take charge of the work.
The plan is to attach small bell with
strap or ribbon on the neck of every
cat In the city and suburbs, the arg,I-
ment being that If it were made a
custom generally there would be more
birds In Spokane. No mention has
been made SO far Of the tinkling at
midnight serenades by Thomas and
his backyard acquaintances, but ii is
no wild guess at this time to say that
some one may organize a crusade to
not only put the bells out of commits
sion but also exterminate the wearers
The theory advanced Is that this
method would make doubly sure of
protecting the birds for all time.
