CATS PERPLEX NEW YORK
Advocates Of determination Say He.
role Measures Are Necessary to
Avert Real Plague.

New York.-Whether New York
may intrust the disposal of it's gar
bage to four-footed scavengers in the
shape of cats, corresponding n way
to the dogs Of Constantinople, is the
most striking possibility in the contro-
versy now raging as to whether cats
are a public necessity or a public
nuisance in this city demanding imme-
diate recall.
According to the latest feline census
1t is estimated that there are 500, 900
cats in this city, as compared to $4,000
dogs, and In view of the rapidity with
which the former are increasing In
numbers 1t is now proposed either to
license or exterminate them.
The proposal to license cats is at
tended with many difficulties and OBJ
jections. Aside from the difficulty OF
catching quarter of million strays
and establishing their ownership, one
expert holds that such a step would be
on par with licensing birds, white
mice or rabbits.
On the other hand, an expert of con.
trary views paints a shocking picture
of cat-ridden city in the near future
IL steps are not taken to eliminate
these animals.
According to him. In the thickly
populated districts the cats are really
wild animals, attacking chiefly the
odoriferous garbage can. A recent In
vestigation shows that these animals
come out only at night. SO that to

WORK WONDERS WITH TUNIC
Garment Really Indispensable to the
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman of small means, whose
social position obliges her to dress
well on small income per annum, de-
vises many schemes whereby she may
give her limited wardrobe the ap-
pearance Of great variety. Within the
past few seasons her greatest aid in
putting up bluff" has been the ubi-
quitous tunic. This style admits OF
80 many delightful variations that the
clever dresser does not fail to make
the best of the advantages 1t offers.
For instance, II one is possessed Of
a well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over It, and
variety Of effects may be obtained.
1t is certainly worth trying by the
woman who has limited number of
frocks and many occasions on which
she must wear them. Some little al
iteration or differences In the arrange
ment of shades worn with a frock
gives an air of novelty and interest.
Some women are content to fish out
the same frock and wear 1t continu-
ally with even the self-same spray Of
flowers pinned on. 1t does not seem
to occur to them what an almost end
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and waysof dress
ing the hair. No woman should scorn
such details, and in her desire to look
her best she may easily get into the
habit of critically examining herself
and her clothes.
To go back to the subject of tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which is
exercised in them, that they have a
great effect in altering the shape and
appearance Of the figure is fact most
of us have realized. A tall, slim figure
can, Of course, stand practically any
arrangement of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as In many
other details of hers toilet, has to be
most careful that no hard line, which
may detract In any way from her
weight, or any undue fullness, should
be worn. All lines should sweep down
ward or slope sideways, always keep
ing in view the wish to add length and
take away any suspicion of width In
the figure.

officials of the state declare that the
event has stirred up much sentiment
for the preservation OF game.
The herd was located at st. An
thony. Idaho, after having beeh driven
from the former grazing grounds in
Wyoming. In 1t was a snow-white
heller called Lady Whitebird, the most
graceful animal among the elk. The
leaders of the herd were two big bulls
called Taft and Roosevelt. Unlike
those for whom they were named they
were able to get along in peace. and
stood together to repel outsiders.
They held constant station at the door
Of the car, and showed desire to
fight when there was any sign Of dan
ger. 1t was with difficulty that they
were put into the cars on which they
were shipped on sledges to the forest
reserve

the debutante cling to these childish
modes as long as possible. There is
no doubt they lend hint of the spring
time of life to any wearer whose face
is youthful
The example shown here is made OF
white hair braid with rosettes and ties
of blue ribbon. The wreath OF close
set June roses across the front out
lines the coronet, and the crown is o
small soft tan. This is one of many
shapes which the beautiful little "Wil

Bonnets for little girls are delightful

for their mother. Like everything
diminutive. they are quaint and pleas

COYOTES IN CHASE
Farmer and Daughter Have
Thrilling Ride in Kansas.
Pack of Usually cowardIy Animals Get
Scent of Meat In Wagon and
Make Attack, but Are Eiuded
In Flight.

Meade, Kan.-F A. Norris, his
daughter, Mrs. Beulah Robins, and
Mrs. w. o. Johnson, living in Gray
county. were chased by hungry coy
otes while driving to their home. 1t
was shortly after dark when they
started home by starlight. Shortly
after they crossed Crooked creek they
noticed several animals following
them At first they believed the pur-
suers were dogs. Then others joined
the pack and the party found them
selves being chased by pack of hun
CRY prairie coyotes.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
cowardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings, but Mr.. Norris had a
OF fresh meat in the carriage, and
IL Is probable the hungry wolves got
the scent of this.
AT nrst little attention was paid to
the wolves. but as the pack grew in
size and some of the holder wolves
made dashes at the horses, the situa-
tion became more alarming.
Mr.. Norris was unarmed, but. SIM
driven on. he stopped the team and
started back with a whip to lash the
animals. To his surprise, they showed
hght and jumped and snapped at him
In such a vicious manner that he
hurried back to the carriage, whipped
up the team and made wild dash for
the nearest settlement.
1t was In sparsely settled section
OF southern Gray county Mr.. Norris
succeeded in checking the pack for a
time, by throwing out to them the
meat which he was carrying The
party finally reached home without
mishap further than a good scare.
1T is possible that they were To-
boes, or Texas timber wolves, which
are larger and fiercer than the coy
otes." said Mr.. Norris. Probably the
scent of the fresh meat rendered the
hungry wolves more ferocious than
they otherwise would have been"

The method here was to divide Macon
