CHURCH FEELS THE CHANGE

MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE
Young Congressman Wanted to Rent
Apartment in Mr.. Macveagh's
Palatlal Home.

Representative Perle D. Decker of
Missouri, one of the youngest mem.
bers of the house, who is serving his
first term In congress, resides in q
modest but comfortable apartment in
Fourteenth street. Like many other
apartment house dwellers he got a mo-
ton that he wanted to move. The
street cars passing his apartment made
a great deal Of noise until early morn.
ing, and there were other reasons. Rid.
ing up Sixteenth (now called the ave.
nue. of the Presidents) he spied the
palatial home of Franklin MacVeagh,
former secretary of'the treasury. The
location just suited Decker. The ex.
terror Of the building indicated that
the ceilings were high and the rooms
spacious.
Leaving his automobile at the curb,
b congressman approached the en-.
trance to the MacVeagh home. His
first surprise came when he found the
door locked. In response to his ring
a uniformed butler opened the door
and asked what was wanted. Decker
announced blandly that he would like
10 lease an apartment in the building
The butler nearly collapsed. After
recovering his breath he said, with q
great show Of indignation:
Dis am no apartment house. 1t Inn

TO present a report in which shall be
included the number Of cases Of diph-
iberia, typhoid fever, and scarlet fever
the past month.
Where it is possible, the agricultural
department will capture cats that may
have frequented the disease-stricken
neighborhoods, and study these ami
mails.
One OF the officials of the agricul-
tural department has invented a trap
with which 1t is hoped cats can be
captured. 1t is to be baited with fish
heads and other delicacies.
An order was issued by the commits.
sioners. at General Johnston's sugges.
ton. for the poundmaster to kill all
cats sent to him.
The recent Georgetown diphtheria
epidemic has been shown not to be
caused by cats. The stricken children
were from the same school, and caught
the germs playing together.
Agricultural department officials are
of the opinion that children who fon-
die their pet cats + liable to infec
ton from germs carried from a neigh.
horhood having an epidemic, and for
that reason will carry on it's extensive
experiment and investigation.
No money has been set aside for
the investigation, although an attempt
has been recently made TO get the
Rockefeller institute to take up the
investigation. At present the work
will be done by the officials Of the .ag-
ricultural department.
Mrs. Henry l.. West, wife of former
Commissioner West, and president of
the Washington Cat club, is not thor.
oughly in accord with the methods in
vogue for the determination of cats.
Mrs. West, In fact, does not think
much of the traps which the health
department has on hand to kidnap
stray cats.
While the health department may
be doing a great work in the extermi.
nation OF vagabond CATS said Mrs.
West. Il do not exactly approve of the
methods used.
There have been many pet cats
missing the past year." said Mrs.
West, "and l should not be surprised
If some of the cats destroyed by the
health department were the ones that
people are looking for. Six thousand
one hundred and thirty-two cats were
killed during the past fiscal year, &C
cording to statistics"
When the health department car.
lures a cat it is killed, and that is the
end Of 1t. The agricultural depart.
ment intends to go further. 1t plans
to have the brain of the cat extracted
and sent to its laboratories, where
examination will be made to see il the
cat has been afflicted with rabies. The
fur also will undergo a rigid test to
determine If 1t was infected with
germs of diphtheria. or scarlet, or ty
phoid fever.
While the effort to determine II
cats transmit disease Is a new idea,
the health departments campaign for
the determination of all stray cats is
an old one.
When Gen. John A. Johnston vas u
commissioners of the District many
complaints against stray cats were re.
ceiyed.

Monasteries and converts seem nat.

Henry Layard was at Mt. Athos in
1845 he noticed the number of huge,

One peculfarity struck him. The cats

rains, such as occur over an ordinarily
smoky city, may seriously injure fruits
and flowers. j. w. Harshberger, OF

drops may serve as the points Of
