Fannie is HOOd0O Cat

NV" aec ohc
was this here Fannie, sliding along the
deck. and I knew she was nuts this time
for fair. because Il reasonable cat won't
go stopping around in water for nobody,
Fannie Takes the Bridge
she had wild look in her eyes and
takes flying leap for the companion
way and skips up to'the boat deck. She

and tears across it, in between the legs
'of the mate on watch, yowlin' and
spittin and racin' back and forth.
at kind of irrtated him a little.
Fannie acting up that way on Friday
the 18th. with the shin rolling and
working like she was. and the gale get
ting worse instead of better. We were
rolling IS degrees. which is about all
one of these seaboats can do and still
rolling so the cooks didn't have to turn
the fried eggs-thcy just flopped over
on the sunny side with the roll.
Get off Of this bridge hollers the
mate. and takes a kick at Fannie, who
by this time is good and wet with
spray and water coming over, and feel
ing mean. She tears past him and goes
down the companion yelling for wet
feet and general destruction. BY this
time there was two or three feet ot
water running on the main deck every
roll, and the spray was breaking over
the bridge, which is more than forty
feet up.
"One time she puts her nose into
one and the forrard awning stanch
ions-good threeinch tanchions--bcnt
back fat like they were putty. Three
ports get knocked in, and with all this
going on ] figured out it was about
time to shoot Fannie, or say one o.
these here seaman's liturgies.
Then She Went to Sleep
Deciding on Fannie | goes back t.
the bosuns locker-and there she va.
curled up asleep on a pile of rope.
That was noon. and by l O'Clock
after Fannie had been in her nap fol
an hour. the wind died little to {
strong gale from what it had been, next
thing to a hurricane. From then OF
things Quetrd down as nice as coulC
be until by sundown we was steaminI
along like picture book ship. witt
pretty sea waves in the distance ant
everything.
Fannie quit in time. Chips finished
with shrewd look at the dreaming ca
at his feet. 'and we came out of il al
0. k which is all anybody could ask.
But. say he called, as if cominl
to a sudden decision, ''do you know o
anybody in Philadelphia that wants ,
nice black cat-for a mascOt?"

HERBERT HOOVER
SPOOFS CRITICS
Appreciates Compliment, but
Hasn't $4,000, ,ooO-Not
British Citizen
"ADMITS" DOING BIG WORK

New York, Feb. 17.-Herbert Hoover,
doomed in some quarters as a presiden :
tial possibility, has written to Caspar
w, Iiodgson, of Yonkers, head of the
World Book Company, in reply to let
ters and kilograms which Hodgson sent
him in the last few weeks. Hodgson is
an old college associate of the former
food administrator. Hoover's letter,
dealing in light vein with stories con
cerning his activities that have gained
credence recently, follows:
Mr.. CaSpar w. Hodgson,
Dear Hodgson--I have noted your
feeling that | should answer some of
the solemn discourses OH my private
life and crimes. ] do seem to get into
the way of politically minded folks
even when trying to keep out of poll
tics.
A 1000, 900 Mystery
Some things that have been said
of me cause me sense OF financial
oversight. For instance, | have made
quite careful inquiries and | regret
that so far I cannot find:
(a) The $40, 900 900 I am said to
have made in my early youth, or even
middle age, or altogether, or any re-
spectacle part of it.
(b) The investments that l am sup
posed to have in Great Britain.
Like the negro porter who was
asked to change $40, | am grateful
for the compliment. l am sorry that
these sums do not exist, for they
would be useful for children's relief.
have also given deep consider
alton to the other items mentioned:
(a) Am l British subject? Did
| ever apply for such citizenship? No.
Many generations of prosecuted
| Quaker ancestors would rise in their
graves at such discovery They
should remain quiet, however, for no
| Californian could live three months in
London climate and become British
citizen if he knew it. One thing that
treasures me that this did not happen
without my knowledge is that the
British refused to allow me to come
into their island during the war with
out an American passport Also,
feel that my accent was disinfected
of any English, French, Chinese,
Russian or other taints by my pres
ence in the United States portion of
every calendar year of my life-ex-
cept three-eyen including the five in
| which the United States has exercised
its right to draft my services, good
| portion abroad.
.lb) Did l ever rent residence
| abroad? / plead guilty of this crime,
but in mitigation I do appeal to the
feelings of fathers who object to
hotel life for babies and children.

SEEK FUNDS FOR NAVY YARD
Committee Has Not Given Up Fiaht
to Amend the Deficiency Bill

The development committee of the
Philadelphia navy yard has not given
up the fight for an amendment to the
naval deficiency bill which would save
for League Island money necessary to
carry on repair work there.
Defeat of the amendment in the House
at the first hearing is attributed to the
fact that Congressman William S. Ware
trial Instead Of in his seat. His vote
would have swung the deadlock in favor
of the appropriation.
Bert Crowley, chairman of the devel-
opment committee, said another delega-
tion would go to Washington to fight for
the amendment It's final defeat. he
alleges, would result in idleness to 2OOO
civilian shipworkers.

 t'This movement will not die out, for the people who started it have found many adherents who will con tinue to preach it's doctrines. MT. Wadsworth had to work hard for his election, and would have been de- fea, ed, I believe, if the success of his whole ticket had not helped him. No good fight was ever fought in vain, so ethat the anti-Wadsw orth forces are not discouraged with their first battle in the interest of more repre- sentative candidates and a ticket that is the expression of the voters de- sires and not that of a machine Victory for them is merely postpon- ed to a future date."
 Views of Other Leaders.
 Mrs. James Leeds .Laidlaw agrees with Miss Hays statement that Sen. ator Wadsworth was helped by the success Of his ticket. Mrs. Laidlaw Der of the International Women Vot- CTS Association.
 Senator Wadsworth ran behind his ticket,' says Mrs Laid1aw, ''and this undoubtedly was caused by the women's protest. The Republican results which will mean~an enormous reaction to come, and not very far distant either.

 we needed Wadsworth to back Harding in Congress. Why expect MT. Harding to function as a Repub lican president if we do not pIacs supporters at his back in the Senate and the House!
 women do not vote as a group They have gone into various parties with the greatest interest and un- of an organization including thous- ands of women in New York county, know positively that women are not only goingf to be organized but are organized right now.
