AT BASE BALL GAME
Boys of Four Institutions to Have
Feast of Ice Cream and
Cake as Well.

The boys of st. Joseph's. st. Johns.
the Hebrew and the German orphan
asylums were up bright and early to-
day in anticipation of their outing to
the police and firemen's base ball
game at American League Park.
Their presence at the game has been
made possible by Ray Baker of the
Trent Amalgam Company, who gave
Inspector Albert ]. Headley of the po-
lice department a check for 800 for
the ball game benefit fund, with the
request that the inspector take as
many youngsters as he could to the
game.
The inspector decided to use the
donation for the orphans, and detailed
Policeman Thomas L. McNamara Of
the traffic bureau to make the ar
rangements.
But the game itself will not be the
only treat in store for the boys. Ice
cream and cake will await the kiddics
at the ball park. through the cour-
tesy of the Chaplin Sacks Manufac-
turing Company, the Corby Baking
Company. and the National Biscuit
Company.
The children from St Josephs will
be taken to the ball park by the
Ward Paper Company. from the He
brew Foster Home by Milton Hopfen-
maier, from the German Orphanage
by the Tidewater bus line and from
ST. Johns Episcopal Orphanage by
the Congressional Sightseeing Com
pany.

A Sad and Lonely Little Fox.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Old Mother Nature.
Sleep is a blessed thing. The worst
of troubles are forgotten in sleep. 1t
was so with little Mr.. Smarty. the
young Fox who had been told by his
alone. He had crept back into the
| house without eating his supper, for
he had no appetite. He was lonely.
| frightened and very miserable. He
| was sure that he wouldn't be able to
close his eyes that night.
But he did. In fact. he fell, asleep
almost at once. You see. he was as
used up that not even fright could
keep his eyes open. All night he slept.
He didn't wake up until jolly. round.
blue, blue sky. That long sleep did
him a world Of good. When his eyes
first opened he didn't remember what
had happened. He missed his brother
and sisters and wondered II they were
outside playing. Then that dreadful
Skunk smell brought everything back
to him and he remembered that he
had been left alone. Loneliness and
fright returned to him, but he was
hungry. Yes, sir, he was hungry. His
stomach had been empty so long that
now 1t demanded food.
,
Smarty crept up to the doorway to
see II the supper he hadn't been able
to eat the night before was still there.
It was, and beside 1t lay two more fat
Mice. His mother had brought him
his breakfast. Little Mr.. Smarty ate
all four Mice. 1t was surprising how
much better he felt. He sat down on
the doorstep and licked his lips. But
for that dreadful smell he would have
felt almost happy. His eyes still
smarted little. but he could see all
right and this was a relief.
IT don't care IL have got to live
alone" boasted little Mr.. Smarty to
himself. "It will be fun. I can do
just as I want to. I like it. 1 do So
can sleep when I please and where
please, and there won't be anybody
to bother me. I will have everything
all to myself"
He curled up on the doorstep for a
sun bath and for a while he really
didn't mind being there alone. But
by and by he became tired of lying
there doing nothing. He wanted to
play and there was no one to play
with. He tried playing with a stick.
He tried pretending that he was hunt
ing. But there is no fun playing
alone and little Mr.. Smarty soon gave
this up.

FAv0RS RAT WAR
WITH AID OF CATS
Mistake to Put Felines to Death,
Says Mary E. Clark, Pointing
to Last Years Record.

To the Editor OF the Star:
My attention was called to a very
recent article in your digest column
asking for cooperation Of the states
in the war on rats.
I agree with the writer that the
question is becoming an alarming one
both from a standpoint of health as
well as the economic side Of the mat
ter.
> Last year we put to death in the
District over five thousand cats
The majority Of people will keep
these creatures for a time. perhaps.
as play toys for their children. and
then turn them out or send them to
be killed when they decide they do
not want them any longer. Such
thoughtlessness and cruelty can only
bring its own reward, hence the rat.
