Army of Stray Cats to Owners Distress.

There are several reasons why Tar
Baby can never be just another recruit
for the rowing, fighting, bowling army
No vagabond, Tar Baby loved his
home with Miss Edith w. F1tzhugh,

Chase, Md, now of 3840 Fulton street.
He proved 1t by remaining in every
night save one during his ~ years.
No fighter, Tar Baby got his ears
chewed up by some rough cats, when
Miss Fitzhugh moved to the $500 block
of Wisconsin avenue, and refused to
be consoled until his mistress returned
to Chevy Chase just to please him.
No vocalist, Tar Baby's faint purr
was his sole contribution to the worlds
noises.
These and other distinguishing fea-
lures, Miss Fitzhugh assures herself
over and over, must eventually lead to
Tar Baby's identification and return,
now that he has been missing since
December IS.
Miss F1tshugh, an employe Of the War
Department, searched Chevy Chase,
thinking he might have returned to his
former haunts when she moved 70 the

Fulton street address: she advertised,
with many replies, but no Tar Baby, and
finally In desperation, she said yester-
day. she decided on publicity.
Almost any one, Miss F1tzhugh came
to The Star office to say, can identify
Tar Baby.
He stands 10 inches high, weighs "a
pounds, likes to be held upside down,
is timid, very gentle, never goes out
nights, Is tar black except for few
gray hairs, has q long face, bright am
Der eyes and two torn ears.
Otherwise, Miss Fitzhugh had to ad-
init. Tar Baby is just another black
cat.
"One morning after moved from
Chevy Chase" Miss Fitzhugh said, he
failed to come home for breakfast. 1t
was the first time In his life he ever
spent the night out. Then, only lit
tie later, he disappeared"
Miss F1tzhugh, who has run down
scores Of reports that her pet had been
found, Il still anxious to investigate
every possibility, although little
puzzled over the public's inability to
dinerentiate between Tar Baby and
