HOME SOUGHT
FOR PET CAT

Here is an opportunity for some
one to adopt a really fine house
cat, Cutie" 6ne-year-old part
maltese, which is being given away
today by Mrs. E. r. Mosburg, 1871
Twentieth st. N. W.
This female cat is very pretty
pet, all maltese grey, except for its
four white paws and a bit of white
on it's face and breast. And the
only reason the family is parting
with it's pet is because they have
decided to have a dog instead.
Cutie" however, seems to be a
bit timid around children SO Mrs.
Mosburg would rather let someone
have her where ther are no young
children.
-Four full.blooded shepherd pup
pies, six weeks old, are also being
given away today. They may be
obtained from Mr.. L. A. Huff, Of
South Oak Crest, Alexandria.
There are two males and two
females. These puppies are dark
brown in color and beautiful. They
will make splendid pets. If inter
ested you may notify Mr.. Huff at
his office, National 8157, from 8
to 4 o'clock.
Communicate with the pet
editor If you have a cat or dog
that needs a new master.

MANY PARADES
ON AVENUE

Many are the parades which
have marched up Pennsylvania
Avenue since the historic street
first was laid out.
Every President inaugurated
since washington became the
nations Capital has ridden down
the street to take the oath of
office at the Capitol Building, and
the inaugural parades for all have
marched up the broad Avenue.
In addition to these, the many
parades of the Mexican War,
Civil War, Spanish War and
World War, and when one
begins to think of the innumer-
able Fourth of July, Memorial
Day and other holiday parades,
the professions of firemen and
patriotic and fraternal bodies, he
realizes the futility of trying to
count the parades Pennsylvania
Avenue has seen.
