Tabby No Reference to Sex.

From the Pathfinder Magazine.
A tabby was originally a brindled or
striped cat. The word is derived from
Attabieh, a section Of Bagdad formerly
noted for the manufacture Of watered
or moire silk. This silk has an undu-
Hating or wavy surface produced by
pressure after dampening and heating
In England such silk was called
"attabi," of which "tabby" is a cor
ruption Certain striped cats we're
called tabbies from their supposed re-
semblance to attabi silk Strictly speak
ing "tabby' has no reference to the
sex OF the animal In modern usage,
however. the term is applied to female
cat. Sometimes 1t is applied TO cats in
general, just as Dobbin is applied 70

terprise thus have bridged the Pacific
and have brought our two continents

this message, is being tapped out in
Australia it is being received by you

Now we are neighbors. indeed and
We know that this will mean better
exchange of ideas. better understand
ing OF each others problems. In few

CARRIERS OUTSTANDING RECORD
(Ada, Okla. Evening News.

AAot ONA1f FNhFH 49,
A strong effort i likely to be made this year 10
defeat John Garner OF Texas for reelection TO con-
cress. Gamers defeat would be nothing short of a
public calamity. not only for his district. but for the
entire United States. Garner is now the ranking dem
ocratic member Of the house and, in the event Of the
democrats gaining control Of the house will be the
next speaker, an office second only to the president
in power.
Garner has made an outstanding record in his fight
for adjustment Of tax schedules. insisting at all times
on giving preference 20 the small tax payer on whose
shoulders the heaviest part Of the burden long rested.
His success in doing this has aroused the ire OF the
big fellows and now they want his scalp. They cannot
control Garner so they want to put him out.
For one thing. Garner has fought all efforts to re-
peal the federal inheritance tax. a tax particularly OBJ
noxious to the big men. We consider that Corner is
eminently correct in his stand and hops he may b.
spared for many years TO come to champion the inter
ests Of the classes WHO are not in a position 70 help
themselves when unjust burdens are sought TO be
placed on their shoulders.
