animal was ClIntN@UdSfy VI lay
But we were treasured when we
found that the tails owner was
purring ecstaticaliy. The more
it sang, the more it wagged its
tail. We never before had seen
that kind of cat.
After supper we all sat around
the fire. The cat sat on a rug
in front of the hearth and wag-
ged its tail and hummed.
"That animal must be half
dog" we observed.
"He has a good, loving heart, .
declared our wife.
"He has an exceedingly imper-
sonal look in his eye" we al
firmed. "The only reason he
does not eat us IS because ne IS
not big enough"
And as if in confederation OF
which we said, the cat, still buZ-
zing and still wagging its tail,
stalked over to where we sat,
rubbed his head against our
hand, and then proceeded to
chew in one of our fingers.
"See that" we said, as we
popped it on the head.
"You have chicken gravy on
your finger" declared our wife.
That shows how far woman
will go to carry her point.

The other evening just at dusk
as our wife and ourself neared
our front steps, an unknown cat
approached us and indicated that
it had come to pay us d friendly
visit. Not wishing to seem IN
hospitable, we invited it IN.

Be that as it may, he went out

A Cat That Wagged Its Tail
Bv WICKES WAMBOLDT

"Well," said, "since it is such
an unusual cat, perhaps it will
catch mice"
We had heard mice in the Gel
lar, so we put it down there to
spend the nice.
In the morning the cat APP
peared debonairly buzzing mer-
rily and still wagging its tail en-
ergetically. We were curious
about the mice; but the cat had
an inscrutable look in his eye
which invited no questions. We
resorted to strategy and offered
it milk. 1t bubped its nose
around the edge of the saucer
and turned away nonchalantly.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. l. -
Sitting behind the wheel of his new
robins egg blue roadster, and wear
ing a cream -colored suit which he
said cost a hundred bucks at a
friends joint" King Levinsky asked
me TO relay a message TO American
youth.
He didn't use exactly those words,
but that's what he meant. We were
rolling down Ocean Drive, the King
and I. when he said:
Listen, kid, I'm the King. Hot
cha, hotcha, hotcha. And 1 got a
story for you. Amt nobody had it
before. It's all yours. It'll get you
a raise in pay. Know what it is?"

idea, but that I did know he was
driving an elegant car.

must have covered it with musilage

accessories shop.
There's a silver spotlight on the
running board that would blind a
possum at two miles, and a series
OF monstrous horns whose tones
range from dogs bark TO the
chimes OF Normandy On either
door, done in block letters like those
en- varsity football sweaters, is
King Levinsky" And from my seat
inside, I could see the kings name
en- even 70 times. He had his name
on both foot pedals, the Speedome-
ter, the gas gauge the oil gauge, in
side both doors, and on top the
gear shift knob.

Beautiful Sympathy Marred

T is just the nobility that is in every board of
directors. That is ALL and the tragedy is that GER
tain labor leaders with minds diseased by suspicion,
still demand guarantees which be enforced by
law as preferable to the imperative dictates of char
acter.
It was not the wages and hours not the cost in
profits, that business found offensive under the NTA
but the rather outspoken doubt and the compulsion
If an honest man has it in his heart to perform a
beautiful act it hurts his pride to be told that he
had better not forget because the cop is watching
and will toss him in the cooler if he does. That was
the spirit of the NRA and it tended to mar the
beautiful sympathy of business for the working
hands.
Now, happily the offensive cop has been with
drawn from his post and business once more is free
to be just as kind and generous to the Workmen as
its noble heart desires and the most avariciouS
brothers will permit.
The forgotten man needn't worry now His pals on
the board of directors are looking out for him once
again.

They Weren't to Be Trusted

THEN Roosevelt came along and discovered that
an INSCRIPTIONS 10 per cent among the en-
poyers were not to be trusted with the welfare and
the rights of the working people and that the honest
majority, in order to meet competition from this
quarter, sometimes compelled to force upon
their employees blessings which pretty we'll dis
guiSed. The best could not afford to treat their
people much better than they treated by the
worst but in the long pull toward the ultimate goal
this wise and constructive policy though it hurt
like hell at the time.
So close to their problems that they couldn't
see the forest for the trees, the impatient employee
class had mind for the woes and problems of
those selfish directors who sat in board rooms far
away searching their conscience to decide what
best for them and give it to them sometimes at
the end of a deputys club out of the muzze of
the national guardsmans muSket.
If did not know the ma ieStic nature of cap
ital it might be hard to understand why the
Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Man
ufacturers fond OF the working class that
they are willing to assume the job of protecting
their rights and guaranteeing that they shall have
d fair deal.
