This bit Of history throws considerable light
on the actions Of Admiral Won Dederichs in
Manila Bay, following the destruction of the
Spanish feet by Admiral Dewey, OF which Admiral
Dewey complained and which, as late as Fcbru-
airy 25 Of this year the German admiral at

council TO pass an ordinance provid-
ing a license tax for cats, with a pro-
vision of law that those permitted to
hold concerts in the back. yards of the
South Florida metropolis be required
to wear collars and a license tag.
During popular discussion before the
meeting of the Audubon Society last
night it was suggested that licensed
cats be required to wear bells. The
same question was discussed in a con-
yention of rats away hack in the days
of Aesop. according to the fables writ
ten about 5000 years ago. The rats
decided that pussy shcnlld be belled by
all means, thus giving warning Of her
approach. but the rub with the rats
was TO find the delegation OF rats to
put on the bell.
The bell feature was eliminated
from the ordinance which is to be pre-
scented to the city council. 1t had been
suggested that the proposed bell would
give warming to birds.
According to the bulletins of the de-
partment of agriculture. which were
quoted by the speaker last night. cats
by nature prefer fathered food and
pursue their deppedations against the
songsters of the woods and parks
throughout the year. while the owls
and hawks for which the plea was
made. prefer rats, mice and insects
and do not seek birds ror their prey
in large numbers.
REPRESENTATIVES of the Humane So
ciety attended the meeting last night
in the interest," of humane provisions
of the proposed ordinance providing
for the registration and taxing of cats.
