WOMEN or WARSAW HID PETS
Cats In Plenty Produced, However,
When Red Cross Supplies Were
PerIed by Rats.

A picture lque story of the war comes
from Warsaw, where all the cats had
disappeared. One went about the city
and saw ne~er cat. SO completely
had the cats vanished that when tho
Red Cross warehouse, just outside of
Warsaw, became overrun with rats
aad mice, TO the serious damage OF
food md clothing stored In 1t, almost
every ether expedient was thought OF
and tried before 1t occurred to anybody
that perhaps there might be a cat or
two stlll left somewhere in the com
munity Then some official OF the
warehouse mentioned to Polish
workman that If cat could be found
the animal would be a great help in
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 sto.y
goes, there seemed to be as many cats
offered for duty IN the Red Cross
warehouse as there we're rats and mice
at work ID It. The emergency has
overcome the nnWilIIngneSs of -
people to qdmit that they were guard
s'rg their pets and after guardian
ltdd heen chosen for the warehouse
stNc cats again disappeared from War

The world war taught Europe many

Europe could get the credits necessary
TO correct the unfavorable conditions

that are expected have been made, the
situation will be improved and a much
greater volume of typewriter exports
Is looked for as result of the credits.
Europe needs among other things
modern office methods. She will be
belped in effecting this Improvement
because the prices of writing machines
have not increased nearly as much as
those Of other products, partly perhaps
because the prices were unduly high
before the war. Improvement is the
order of the day, and the tendency
will become ever more marked as the
golden age comes on.

UNCLE SAM KNOWS HIS BoYs
System Of Finger Print identification
Makes Errors in the Navy
impossible.

"King Solomon" said the navy re-
crultlng officer, "was the original lden-
tifcation expert. Remember how,
when two women claimed the same
child, he threatened to give each Of
them half the child to carry awayf
And how the one who didn't wish the
child harmed was adjudged the real
mother? Well, the navy recruiting
service hasn't King Solomon Oh its
staff, but it handles similar problems
every day In the week. Twins recent
ly applied for enlistment Their
mother had never been really sure
which was Tom and which Harry, aud
Informed the recruiting officer that
she never had known whether she
we're spanking the right one. Five
Pinutes afterward she was assured
that her boys would never get mixed
again. How? Finger prints.
Loss OF memory (aphasia) and
such rare causes of loss of identity
are easily handled In the navy. Uncle
Sam knows his boys not only by their
middle names, but also by the little
lines engraved on the tips Of their
fingers. It's an absolutely up-to-date
safeguard for the boys in the service
and their families. For the matter
of that, the whole navy system Of
caring for its men has been perfected
to the finest point. Diet, exercise.
medical and dental attention, all are
arranged in accordance with the latest
information on the subjects, 1t takes

Let the People Decide

The legislature will meet in special session two
weeks from today. Convened by the governor
for two specific purposes, the lawmakers have
heard a great deal Of prayer that they transact
other business This would be good advice if the
usual amount of politics again held sway. If,
however, the legislature were to make up its mind
that il would consider measures solely on their
merits, there would not be- and there should not
be, that uneasy feeling.
And there meritorious measures to be con-
sidered. Not the least among these is a soldiers'
and sailors bonus BILL
Is there a soul SO dead he does not realize how
wretchedly we have treated our returned service
men? A few hundred dollars in many cases
would mean the difference between utter despair
and decent opportunity to rehabilitate them
selves.
The 1919 legislature had before it the Lam
ping bill. II was defeated by politics. Perhaps If
the Lamping bill were again offered, it would
again be defeated for the same reasons. The Star
is not particularly partial to the Lamping BILL Its
chief interest is to see the returned service men
treated right
Could not the legislature approach this vastly
important matter in spirit of fairness and jus
tice, entirely devoid of personalities, eliminating
politics, and treating it wholly on its merit? The
Star is certain that the people of this state to
do the right thng-and would be glad of the op-
portunity to voice their approval of soldiers
bonus bill.
If the legislature is in the least in doubt on this
score why not prepare an HONEST measure, and
submit it to referendum vote of the people?
Put Il up 90 the voters, rather than kill it By
politics. Let the people decide!
