sented-German Arabic. Hebrew,
Japanese, Russian and so on, except
Chinese, for that nationality is not

man who spoke with pro-
nounced Swedish accent appeared at
the income tax office at ST. Louis and
exhibited two new leather cases which
contained 5000 in travellers checks.
He said that he had just had his
only pay day in fifteen years and had
heard that an income tax was due. 1t
appears that during the fifteen years
he was employed on ranch in Wash
inglon under an agreement with his
employer for wages. plus board and
clothes. During the fifteen years he
went to town" only twice a year and
drew no money, he said, because his
employer had bought everything for
him.
When last month he decided to 90
TO South America to become rancher
in his own name, his employer accom-
panied him to town and bought the
checks for him. He was told that no
tax was due from him.

OF WARSAW HID PETS
Cats In Plenty Produced, However,
When Red Cross Supplies Were
Periied by Rats.

A picturesque story OF the war comes
from Warsaw, where all the cats had
disappeared. One went about the city
and saw never cat SO completeIy
had the cats vanished that when the
Red Cross warehouse. Just outside Of
Warsaw, became oyerrun with rats
ana mice, to the serious damage OF
food and clothing stored In It. almost
every other eXpedient was thought OF
and tried before It occurred to anybody
that perhaps there might be cat or
two still left somewhere I'm the com
munity Then some official of the
warehouse mentioned to Polish
workman that II a cat could be found
the animal would he great help I'm
protecting the Red Cross property;
and from here, there and everywhere
came the wives OF the citizens and the
citizens themselves, each carefully
bearing treasured cat. AS the story
goes, there seemed TO be ms many cats
offered for duty In the Red Cross
warehouse rs there were rats and mice
mt work In II. The emergency had
overcome the unwlllingness of the
people to admit that they were guard
Ing their pets. and after a guardian
had been chosen for the warehouse
the cats again disappeared from War
saw.
