.PHtASANTS RELEASED
FOR PROPAGATION

Under the direction of the depart
ment OF game and inland fisheries, $40
pheasants were, shipped to various
parts of Virginia yesterday and will
be liberated for the propagation of
the species. The birds were received
by express from Putnam. Conn. cost
ing the state approximately $4,000
The pheasants have been sent to
practically every county. but as the
shipment was smaller than had been
expected, a number OF sportsmen Will
be disappointed. AS the governor has,
by proclamation. forbidden the killing
OF pheasants for the next three years
it is believed that the birds will be
plentiful in this state by that time
All lovers OF sport are urged to see
that interruptions gunners do not vio-
late the law during the closed period.
Hunting in Virginia will start on
November J., with indications that
more than twice as many men will
take the field this year than last. This
Is based on the humber of licenses
already Issued.

PROBLEM OF CATS TAIL
WORRIES SCIENTISTS

New York. Sept 1o-Why does a
cat have a tail? Ponderous scientists
and savauts are seriously considering
this feline quality. One scientific
paper says mo one can gainsay the
fact that a tail is a useful ornament.
Imagine cat without a tail. The cat
without one is sorry slenr.
Again, what use has q healthy child
for cat without an appendage? We'd
have to rewrtte all our joke books
Yet, some cats do not have this tender
attached. az witness the Mann cats
Yet Manx cats are not generally pop
ular with the proietariat
According TO w. u. Matthews. OF
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory, the tail was necessary organ
for the aquatic and amphihtous an
cestors from which the high animals
are descended. When they took to
terrestrial life and to walking on all
fours the tail became more or less
superfiuous
But, why does cat have a tane

SEWER BADLY NEEDED
N GROWING WEST END

City Engineer Boiling was direct
ed yesterday by the administrative
board to estimate the cost of installing
an adequate sewer in the vicinity OF
the 1900 block OF Grove, Floyd and
Monument avenues. Many complaints
have been received from residents of
damages due to overlooking cellars and
Easements after every rain. and the
administrative board has announced
its intention of rraking every effort
TO get council TO appropriate sufficient
money to remedy the evil.
When the existing sewers were laid,
quarter of century ago. the terri
tory was scarcely more than a sandy
waste. with few houses. Since then
the district was grown into a thickly
populated section of the city.
An estimate made some months ago
by the city engineer placed the cost
OF a sewer to suit the requirements at
about $4,000.
