WOMEN CAT LOVERS
PEEVED OYER BDICT
Indignation Meeting to Be Held to
Protest Against Impound-
ing Felines.

Members OF the Washington Cat Club,
next Monday, under direction Of the
president. Mrs. Henry L West, wife Of
the former Commissioner, will hold an
indignation meeting in protest Of the
edict issued by the District officials
Thursday, which provides that all stray
cats shall be impounded and put tc death.
The members OF the cat club do not
object to the determination OF the feline
OF the back-alley variety. but they insist
that II will be impossible for the pound
employees to distinguish between the
''aristocratic' and hobo cats. This,
they declare, will lead to the death OF
their pets.
Mrs. West is very indignant at the
ofiicials. She declares that IL will be ab-
solutely impossible for the pound men
to catch the alley cats, because they are
wild and will run away. On the other
hand. Mrs. West says. the pet cats, who
are not menaces TO the community, will
readily approach the men when they are
called.
It is very probable that a letter pro-
testing against the latest amendment TO
the police regulations will be drafted
and sent to the Commissioners. The on
cials have announced, however, that they
will stand firm. and will not withdraw
their edict They are assured that an
epidemic Of rabies will result II the cats
are permitted TO roam at large.

ton Herald >Booklovers' Contest already
published. contestants are anxiously in
quirfng after the minutest details bear
ing upon the conditions and requirements
OF the competition.
The Booklovers' editor yesterday re-
ceived numerous questions as TO details,
particularly as to how many answers

The editors general answer to the ques-
ton was that the person submitting the
greatest number Of correct answers and
using the smallest number Of coupons
would be the winner Of the first prize.
IF for example," the editor explained,
two contestants submit sixty-three cor
rect answers each, and one Of them
uses rs extra answers and the other
1ls extra answers, then the one submit
ting sixty-three correct answers and lls
extra answers will be declared the win
ner."

name, but living in separate homes, are
in the contest, they ell will be eligible.
Two or more persons living at the same
address, but not in any way related to
each other are eligible.
Library Third Prise.
Probably because Of the fact that the
contest is called a ''Booklovers' Con-
test some readers Of The Washington
Herald who have not carefully read the
conditions Of the contest, are under the
impression that the $500 library selected
from Brentano's, at Twelfth and F
Streets Northwest, is the first prize. The
library is the third prize, a fine build
ing lot in Randle Highlands, valued at
1900, being the first. But the library
