no cat that ever lived liked to be mauled
around. People who put on gloves and
box and spar with pet cats are mis-
or not.
Those in the besieged house thought
some such treatment had been accorded
this fellow.
Just to look at him few would have
realized his ferocious ability.
1t was entirely at variance with the
two real house cats within.
These had been treated as friends
and had responded in the typical way
of friendly cats. They were as affec-
tionate as dogs not in a dogs way, but
strictly in the cat way.
The instincts of their tribe, however,
caused their fur to rise, their tails to
swell and their eyes to glitter at the
sight of the outsider.
They had been kept within doors for
months, owing to the unfair battle
between them.
The cat that roamed "a hours a day
was more than match for them, but
they did not know it and were eager
at all hours to do battle with him.
1t was hoped that sooner or later he
would betake himself home again If he
had a home.
That was the questionable he have a
home?
Had the besieged been sure they would
not have fed him.
Until they could know they put out
food every evening for him.
This action will not be understood at
all by those who do not like cats.
Those who like EN- will readily COM
prehend.
There was nothing else to do. The
friends of cats are always the friends of
cats, other peoples cats as well as
their own.
1t is impossible for them to think
of one of their friends going hungry
So this family fed the culprit, the
nuisance, the menace.
~
He would come to the front door,
stand up and peer through the screen.
Shortly he would appear at the
kitchen, his little ears sticking up over
the wood.
Thought had to be given at all times
to the possibility that he might dart
between the slightly opened screen and
the casing.
In such an event terrific battle
would ensue, from room to room, up
stairs and downstairs.
Just how the invader, in such an
event, was to be repealed was the ques-
ton, because force was not to be thought
Of; the friends of cats use intelligence
in handling them, not might.
Hence the best way was to keep him
out and he was kept out.
Was he attempting to find himself a
new home. or had he just made a
mistake?
They could not answer, knowing cats
from many angles.
The probability was that he had de-
cided on new home
Every evening he ate a good meal,
much to the disgust of the inner cats.
Then he retired to his nook beneath
the big lilac.
When Winter comes he will be offered
the hospitality of the garage, from
which he may continue Washingtons
strangest siege.

Hard to Prove.

1t is interesting to note that in its
reply to property owners demurrer
to condemnation proceedings in con-
nection with p. w. AS proposed nous
ing development in Southwest Wash
ington, the Government relies In part
upon the allegation of a housing short
age" as ground for the exercise of the
police power. The statement is made
that the depression has practically
stopped all house building" in the Dis
trict in the face of a rapid and sharp
increase in the number Of inhabitants.
That statement, Of course, is susceptible
to challenge on several grounds. not the
least OF which Is the fact that in May
and June alone building permits were
secured for 335 dwellings aggregating
$2,294,000 in value and seventy-eight
apartments, aggregating $906,100 in
value, while the amount of residential
construction in the city and the ada
cent counties since the first of the year
represents something of housing boom.
II the Governments purpose in I'M
is designed principally to deal with
housing shortage, the proposed con-
struction of sos living units at a cost of
some $4,000 900, including cost of the
land, would not go very far. A more
logical Interpretation of the Govern
ment's low-cost housing venture is the
demonstration of what can be accom-
pliShed in this type of housing: an effort,
in other words, to pave the way for
private enterprise in a field that has
been neglected in Washington as well
as in other cities. The peculiar problem
here is to provide better housing, on a
self-liquidating basis, for an element
of the population that lacks the means,
under private enterprise, to obtain
decent housing.
The Governments answer also makes
the point that, without granting the
soundneSs of the recent Appellate Court
decision challenging the Governments
power of eminent domain in the States
when exercised in connection with
housing, the condition in the District
is entirely different from that in the
States because of the exclusive control
over the Capital by Congress. That, it
would seem, is the strongest point and
reference to a housing shortage that
may not be existent in fact seems
unnecessary.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,
Whv Be SurpriSed9

Why Be Surprised?
Experience teaches. But what 1 have
learned
OF the weather has brought no reward
Through almanacs, various pages I've
turned,
AS to facts they are all in accord.
I tell of the heat whose discomfort
complete
For sympathy leads me to sigh.
But each volume so neat only serves
to repeat,
'Its always like this in July!"
We solemnly say that record was made,
But records are easily found
When we hit over ninety degrees in
the shade,
All kinds of comparisons sound.
We are always amazed when our senses
are dazed
BY the glare of tropical sky,
Though it often has blazed, no one
says while we're hazed,
"It's always like this in July!"

Carmen" Madame Butterfly" 'Lohen-

such an opportunity. Indeed, it might
even be that something totally new
would be the wiSest choice of all.

Deadly Driving.

With $50 persons arrested Saturday
and Sunday in the course of the latest
crusade against lawless drivers, a good
beginning has been made to impress
the motorists of the District with the
need of greater care in the streets.
Coincident with this renewed activity
on the part of the police, under direction
OF Superintendent Brown, yesterday
came the sixty-fifth traffic death of the
year, the result of an injury received
on Friday.
Doubtless there were many more than
$50 violations of the rules against speed
ing and ht-jumping and other forms
of dangerous driving. The habit of
dashing around corners and across
intersections, regardless of signals, and
of racing to get ahead of others is so
general that such figure represents
only fraction of actual breaches of
the regulations merely those that came
under observation.
Only the application of the severest
possible penalties in every case of de-
liberate breaking of rules will make the
necessary impression upon the thousands
of drivers who daily use the Capitals
streets. The cancellation of licenses
should occur wherever the conditions
warrant.
Light jumping has become almost q
fixed habit among a large class of
motorists, the yellow cautionary signal
having come to be regarded as per-
mission to start across the street at speed
sufficient to carry the machine over the
farther line before the red shows. This
creates a dangerous condition and sets
a demoralizing example The yellow
light is a warning to stop, not per-
mission to proceed. Many pedestrians
are caught in midstreet and at corners
when it is construed as signal for
advance.
Speed and an utter indifference to
the rights of those afoot are the chief
factors in the shockingly mounting toll
of the Capitals injury and death records

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Two Garden Chairs

Where our garden chairs face sunset
And we lie at ease, content,
Shadows in our long, cool garden
Well-loved spots frequent.
Shadows falling on our fountain,
On the girl in marble there.
Seem to set her limbs in motion
And to tint her hair.
Shadows on our fast-closed gateway,
On our picket fence of white
Shining spears to shut the world out
In the gathering night. q
Full moon on our gate and fountains
Moonlight silvering your hair. as
Paradise can never offer sypsu.M
Any scene so fair. sss

bleached the strips are woven into hats
AS the delicate material can be worked
only while damp, it is either woven
under water or left out in the dew at
night and the weaving done early in
the morning.
