CATS, BIRDS AND RATS
PROBLEM IN MONTCLAIR
Rodents Seem to Hold Balance of Power When
Destruction of Other Two Is Considered
by Officials.

That venerable question. Cats or birds?
is being asked anew over the backyard
fences and hedges OF the arboreus city
OF Montclair. n. j. Shall the cats be
killed to save the birds, or shall they
be spared in order that the rats may
perish? Is a wild bird more desirable
than a wild rat is undesirable? In q
survey of the life and times of cat
does the good outweigh the evil or the
evil the good?
John Picken, Commissioner of Public
Safety. has, upon reflection. ordered sew
eral gross OF cat traps. They will be
placed at the disposal of the Montclair
Bird Club. The club agreed. IL the
town would furnish the traps, to bait
them with catnip and set them at stra-
tegic points. such as the tops of gar
den gates. Thus the club would capture
all prowlins eats and conserve the bird
life Of the community. IL being asserted
by the club members that cats eat birds.
But now comes. shaking his head,

missioner Picken. What IL IL gets
caught in one Of these traps?'
1T will be regarded as a tramp cat,
the Commissioner answered. So the
Mayor is dubious about this cat trap
ping idea.
And there's John c. Barclay. another
Commissioner. AIontclair. he says. has
its full share of rats. IL the town is 10
be deprived of cats. who will save 1t.
He has suggested that civic organisa-
tions combine in an determination day,
a festival OF rat hunting, inspiring and
benefiting the whole population. This
Is being considered
Meanwhile, IT. is pointed out that
Montclair has an ordinance requiring
that every cat be licensed. 1t was
adopted several years ago for the pur-
pose OF reducing the number of tramp
cats. Throughout the country other
towns borrowed the ordinance, but
Montclair, the inventor. has not en-
forced it. There Is no license law al

New York's Latest Residential
Hotel-The Ambassador
was furnished like private home
by TOhn Wanamaker

their studied and har-
monious arrangement.
The Ambassador has
thus escaped the stigma of
the commonplace and
stereotyped, and becomes
a new model of hotel deco
ration and furnishing.
The Ambassador, seven
teen floors in all, covering
a city block, is made up of
apartments of three to
eight rooms, and is in
architectural detail sug-
gestiv of the 18th Cen
tury. To conform to this
style of furniture is a
gracious blending of
French, English and
Italian models of this
period.
Practically all the furni-
ture was reproduced from
special models assembling
continually in the Wana-
maker Galleries, and we
are therefore prepared at
all times to undertake for
other hotels and large
furnishings what has been
accomplished in the Am
bassador.
Consultation, plans and
specifications for any deco
rative work, large or
small. public or private,
may be arranged by mail,
telegraph, telephone, or in
person, with
The New York herald., 1921-04-21

So far as we know this
is the first time a hotel
has been furnished in the
same manner in which a
fine private house is deco
rated. Instead of whole
sale buying of chairs, ma
terials, furniture and OBJ
jects of art, we studied
each apartment as an in
dividual problem, exactly
as if it had been rented
unfurnished and turned
over to us to decorate and
furnish in an individual
way.
To achieve this extraor-
binary result it was
necessary to copy dozens
of old chairs, consoles,
commodes, tables, over
mantles, mirrors and
lamps, which never before
have been reproduced, and
to assemble a number of
antique pieces, such as old
m arquetry commodes,
which give the rooms a
quality of fine decoration.
Even each picture was
hung in precise relation to
the piece of furniture
beneath it. And as a final
precaution, an accurate
chart of the furnishings
was given to the hotel
housekeeper SO that the
rooms may be maintained
exactly as they now are in

a thrifty client by a mutually bene-
fetal transaction of this kind. Some
of the largest savings banks will
buy a security for a customer at
reasonable commission, taking an
initial payment and the buyers note
for the balance, payable so much a
month.
This is probably the best method
of all, having all the advantages of
any partial payment plan, calling
for regular and systematic payments
and still giving the buyer consider
able latitude in the selection of his
investment He will also be able to
avail himself of the advice Of the
banker, which, with proper safe
guards of caution and independent
judgment, is likely to be an ad-
vantage. Under such a plan the
buyer should receive credit for a
share of the interest earned by the
security he is buying proportionate
to the amount he mas pald In.
1t is one of the weakest points in
the investment machinery Of the
country that so few banks and in
vestment houses show any apprecia-
ton of the potentialities of the small
investor and the enormous amount
of money he controls in the aggre-
gate, or of the gain to themselves
and to the public welfare that
would result from enabling him to
buy the highest class securities at
a reasonable price on partial pay
ments.
There is faint recognition of this
fact in the growing practice of
issuing good securities in 500
pieces. This is a confession, but it
does not give the saver the benefit
he might derive from having to
make regular, systematic payments.
The answer is: Do it yourself.

The Enduring Moments.

TN the life of every human Icing
there are moments that stand
d forth clear and shining and can

portant occasions, as the world
measures Importance. They can not
he printed in the newspapers nor
inscribed in ones diary or biog
raphy; they can not even be told 10
a friend, no matter how intimate.
They look like almost every moment,
and yet they are different from
every other moment of living. What
makes them so different, no man
can tell; he knows only that they are
different and is satisfied by that.
He remembers a morning when he
passed through a park, a park he
had visited many times before and
many more times afterwards. But
on this particular morning every
tree seemed new and green, every
flower little more graceful and
colorful, and the air, just after
storm, seemed clearer and brighter
than he had ever breathed it. Sud
denly life seemed rarely good,
stimulating and fine-for no reason
at all, except that it did. And for
ever after he remembers that MORN
ing as an ideal that will never be
touched again.
Or he has drunk much water in
his life, enough perhaps to fill
mountain stream for several hours
in the spring. He had drunk it in
many places--parched after hours of
travel in the desert-dry and eager
after climbing steep mountains--at
speeches, at meals and upon orders
from the doctor. And until certain
luminous occasion it was Just
water--a pure mixture of nature.
But once, standing indoors, away
from nature, and drawing water
from an ordinary faucet, he Glanced
to lift glass of water to the light
and was caught by the marvel Of its
composition, of its beauty and its
sweetness and its mystery. Since
then all water has seemed like that
There is one moment in every life
when bread was sweeter than at any
other time; or q sweep of hill and
valley and shadow more delicately
beautiful than it had ever seemed
to one particular man. And this
slender minority of concentrated
experiences weighs more heavily
in the scale of experience than all
the great majority Of pain and ex.
haustion and bitter memory. They
weigh down the scale and convince
men that their lives, after all, have
