such splendid cooperation. One
would strain their eyesight trying
to find something about this ter

! I'll wager many a Waterburian
was boiling mad to see the Leaven-
worth street outfit capitalize,
through their recent tercentenary
edition, on something they almost
totally ignored while it was being

that time it hasn't amounted to
much in the eyes of the Leaven-

was very disappointed when the
Italian committee, especially, over
looked complimenting The Demo-

the dedication of the Italian cot

Yet, it is not too late for them. to
show their gratitude, so perhaps
my criticism is too premature.
The attitude of the Leavenworth
street twins toward Settlers VIII

been lou-say. And for them to have
the colossal nerve to capitalize on
it, defies proper classification. I

To the Editor,

and strangely enough, the general
opinion Is against communism.

been subject to some Of the mis-

The communist party is unequiv-

the best fighters, against war. Now
can the Legion oppose this? read
and hear that they are also against
war. Certainly two organizations
with the same aim should not be
enemies. The communist party Is
also for the immediate payment Of
the bonus. Certainly the Legion
cannot disagree with this. The
communist party has from the
first called for the payment of the
bonus, but we communists do not
call it the bonus" We call it the
soldiers back pay, pay that they
are entitled to, and not a "bonus"
or something extra" which is
dished out by the government.
The communist party Is at the
present time calling for the passage
of the Marcantonio bonus bill H.
r. 1856, introduced into the last
session Of :, congress by Rep. Vito
Marcantonio of New York. This is
the bill Of which Major General
Smedley Butler said, "This is the

Of the Legion are not familiar with
this bill, it will pay them to write
their representatives or senators

New York, Sept. 5.-The only
cat drug store in the world--so far
as this commentator has been able
to discovers owned and operat-
ed by a woman, Doris Bryant, ard
ent cat lover.
Cats today, according to Miss
Bryant, have governesses, special
lists to attend them when they are
i'll and their own private materia
medica. That is, when they are
ailing, prescriptions are written
especially for them and filled just
as for ailing humans.
Such famous cats as those be-
longing to Clare Luce, Selena
Royle and Beth Merrill, actresses,
Sophie Kerr, writer, and Mrs.
James Cromwell, the former Doris
Duke, are regular patrons of Miss
Bryant at her Village cat pharm-
acy.
In addition to her prescription
work, which becomes heaviest in
winter because that is the season
when more felines as well as hui
mans get sick, Miss Bryant in
vents toys for her favorite ami
mails. She has thought UP cello
plane balls that not only crackle
when hit but smell nice besides.
And she claims that her mechan-
ical beetles and butterflies will di-
vert cats from catching birds.
Pharmacist Bryant declares
that Persian and Maltese cats are
becoming less popular and SIAM
csc cats are gaining in public fav-
or. One reason for this, she
thinks, is that the Siamese has
less egotism than the common run
of cats, and more affection, in his
makeup.
Model Efficiency
H. P. Luhn, modest young
man who earns his living as an
engineer, has an avocation that he
took up by chance and now II
looks very much as If it would be-
come as important as his regular
job. Once, when he was working
for a company that was building
a hospital, he got the inspiration
1t was that tiny models of houses
would give people much better idea
as to what, the. finished product
would look like than blue prints
ever could. There is scarcely any
body who doesn't find blue print
completely incomprehensible, any
way, he felt.
So Engineer Luhn started max.
ing house models with furniture
complete. Or rather he made a
series Of little light wooden units
and windows and doors that are
notched at the end SO that you car

them, in a straight wall or q

Each wanted the bigger office and
there had to be a secretary's Of.

down in a three-dimensiona
model. they saw they had left 8
cubbyhole for the secretary sc
small that she could hardly gel
into It at all. SO they repented
and gave her more space.
Kitchens are the best though
You can set up a whole kitchen
and then switch everything
around until you get the ideal ar.
rangement, SO that never agar
need there be a kitchen without
the right light on the biscuits OF
