CATS OF BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
All Known Varieties Are Rather More
Than Tolerated

Brooklyn Heights has long been known
for its old Brooklyn families. its fine
old mansions and its churches In recent
years this exclusive and aristocratic Sec
ton of the borough across the river has
become known for something else-its
many eats Judging from the great num-
ber of such animals seen on the Heights
it would seem that every family has its
pet cat. There are cats of all sizes and
types-fuffy tailed, pedigreed angoras,
maltese cats. black. white. gray and spot
ted cats and plain mOth-eaten, battle
SCARED felines. There are big, well-fed.
well groomed cats, sleek. graceful cats
and narrow. hungry-lOoking cats.
That the Heights should have become
a favorite habitat for these animals is
not strange since the section is famous
for its big. airy backwards and gardens
and its back fences. The section more
over. is interviewer with quiet streets and
lanes.
Some of the aristocratie cats wear
about their necks collars of unique and
ornamental design A big Tom was seen
taking leisurely stroll on Remsen Street
the other afternoon. He wore sort of
bell collar. which. as he walked. gave out
deep sound like that of a miniature bell
buoy. causing timid cats to take flight in
alarm.
A newcomer to the Heights complained
that the cats disturbed his rest.
"They congregate at night he said,
''on back fences or front stoops of houses
and make a hideous noise. drowning out
the pleasant sounds of steamboat and
river craft | asked a policeman if some
thing could not be done about it.-New

HARDING PRESENTS
CHILDREN MEDALS
Foreigners Rewarded for Excellence In
Reading English-Newspaper

PLYMOUTH, Mass. Aug. Thirty
Polish, French, Italian and Portuguese
boys and girls received silver medals
from the hands of President Harding here
today. as winners in the fifth annual con
test for excellence in the reading of Eng
lish conducted by the New Bedford Eve
ming Standard. The medals are pre-
scented each year to children of non-Eng-
lish speaking parentage in the public and
parochial schools of that city for facility
in reading and understanding the English
language.
Faced with a population more than IS
per cent of which represents foreign-born
whites. the Evening Standard determined
in 1917 as a matter of public policy to in-
tate reading contests for children of the
foreign born. Not only as an incentive
to the closer study of the language of the
country by its future citizens but as an
aid to the creation of common ideals the
competitions for medels have proved their
value.
Polish. French. Greek. Portuguese.
Italian, Syrian. German. Swedish. Span
ish, Hebrew and Russian children and
youngsters of 21 other nationalities which
find a refuge in New Bedford. have been
contestants in former competitions 4

BARON KORFF
EXPLAINS RUSSIA
AutOcracy and Reaction Kept Her From
Giving Best Efforts to Allies In
World War.

WILLIAAISTOWN. Mass. Aug. l.
1t was autocracy and reaction which
kept Russia from giving her best effort
to the allies in the war, declared Baron
Sergius korf, former deputy general of
Finland, in an address today before the
institute of politics in session at Viii
lams college. Russia was sincere in her
friendship to France, but if she had had
a constitutional government she would
have been a stronger and surer ally.
Baron korff's subject was RusSiaS For
eign Relations During the Last Half
Century and this his first lecture of a
series dealt entirely with treaties and
agreements made with France.
