SEVEN KITTENS GET
JOBS IN CONGRESS

Washington.-A job has been
found for Congressman Austin's
secretary's cats seven kittens.
They will be welcome down on
the floor below in Representa-
tive Hulbert's Office. Mice are
overrunning the place. They
are as bold as bulldogs. Frank
McEnnany, Mr.. Hulbert's secre-
tary, says they climb on the big
leather chairs and watch him 8
derisively as he tries to work. +
The other night the mice ate up 3
all the free seeds that Mr.. HUI 8
bert had for distribution among
his constituents. That is not
much Of a disaster, in view of .
the fact that his district in New
York is one Of the most thickly
populated in the greater city :
and the people wouldn't know :
what to do with the seeds If he ;
sent them on. What is Of i'm
portance, though, Is that the
mice also ate up a bas-reHef
model OF the East river, He'll
Gate and Wards island, being
attracted by the excellent quail
ity Of glue in the papier mache.
He'll Gate Is a most precious
thing In the eyes of this con-
