Aspects Among Most Popular Features

with temper and vocabulary aired
freely on both sides.
WHEN finally they reached the
w stable the Senator dismounted in
high dudgeon, turned on his heel and
walked away without bestowing either
the pat or the lump of sugar. At the
door he looked back aud saw Jester
regarding him wistfullv. The Sena-
tors heart srote him. but he went on
and boarded street car for the
Capitol
As he rolled along he grew more
and more unhappy. After all. a friend
is friend, and loyalty should weigh
against single display of temper. At
last he couldn't stand it any more. He
got out. crossed to the other car
track and returned to the stable He
went in and gave Jester his pat and
his lump Of sugar. Then he hurried
back to the Senate.
AS a fitting conclusion to this list Of
charm and talent there is Jimmie
Timmons, black and white cat. He
belongs to Bascom N Timmons a
Washington newspaper correspondent.
and the source of Timmie's name does
not present too great problem in
deduction.
Timmie used to spend P good deal of
his time in his mee+o"'s office, on the
twelfth floor Of the National Press
Building, but of recent years he has
become more of home body After
all, he is years old and is entitled
to stay home when he chooses to rest.
Still, the Office holds undenia bic at
fractions. For one thing he has
special compartment in tie book case
where he can sleep. At first he was
content to have his master take out
batch of books and to climb up into
the neat hole they left. Then he grew
more demanding and Mrs. Timmons
rose nobly to the occasion. She made
him a pullman berth in the book case.
It has pull curtains of green baize
and on them, in cut-out felt lettering,
are the words Cat Pullman" Inside
are a mattress, sheets and pillow.
TIMMIE sleeps there by the hour,
and when he wakes up he filings
back the pull curtains with his paw
and demands service.
He has many distinguished friends
in politics and in the press and his
mail is said to be heavier than that
of any cat in Washington.
His hobby is automobiling. but he
likes walking, too. and is often seen
vending his way philosophically
through the Washington traffic with
his master or mistress on the leash
He has a feathered playmate
now-Sinbad, canary-to which he
is devCtedly attached. There is some
thing idyllic about the Timmons
home, where you Il p see the cat and
canary curled up together on the rug.

GOOD many eyes are being
n turned on Washington these
II days and highly specialized
4 \ vocabularies are being ex-
pended on this and that feature Of the
New Deal. There is divergence Of
opinion about many matters, and you
are at liberty to view with COM
placency or with alarm, according to
your particular makeup. But there
is one feature of the Washington
merry-go-round that every one ap-
proves-and that is saying lot. To
the pets of the New Deal nothing but
praise is meted out. For brilliance.
charm, intelligence and admirable
qualities in general nothing can ap-
proach them. You may take their
masters words for it.
In the midst of all the tohu-bohu
about the administrations agricul-
tural policy, for example, how restful
to contemplate Bill, the Department
of Agriculture's cat.
Bill is feline of mixed shades in
which, possibly. gray predominates.
He lives in the engine house behind
the imposing main building He picked
out that home for himself about four
years ago and. further. he picked out
George Mccarthy, the assistant en-
gineer, to take care of him. He was
a thin little kitten then, and soiled as
only an unhappy cat can be.
Mr.. Mccarthy brushed him and fed
him and gave him general going
over, and imperceptibly Bill blossomed
into sleek and self-respecting mascot
When Mr.. Mccarthy was transferred
to another position Bill moped for
days. He prowled ceaselessly, looking
for his friend behind the dynamos,
down cellar, everywhere. On the fifth
day he sat down and thought. He re-
fused food and quite evidently con-
centrated on the problem before him.
Then he got up, walked over to Allen
Baldwin, one of the engineers, and
attached himself to him. Since then
he has been Mr.. Baldwin's cat.
He lies in the warmth of the engine
house, undisturbed by the whirring
dynamos. At 1870 every morning he
gets up, gives a quick touch here and
there to his coat and goes out to meet
the lunch wagon.
In the afternoon, according to Mr.
Baldwin, Bill hasn't any time to give
to rat catching; he is busy sleeping.
One day large rat came hurrying
around an engine and ran plump into
Bill. The rat jumped. at conserva-
tive estimate, 10 feet. Bill bestirred
himself enough to spit. Then he rolled
over on his side and looked languidly
at Mr. Baldwin. Quite evidently he
was saying:
Take that rat awayl Good heav-
enS, what thing to keep in an
engine house!"

The story is still whispered in the
halls of Congress about Senator Borah
and his horse, Jester. The Senator
used to go riding every morning and
when he left Jester at the stable he
would give him pat and lump OF
sugar as a mark of esteem. One
morning while they were taking their

ITO BE perfectly frank about it, no

of the land can keep its fairways

less natural weather conditions are
favorable. knowing this condition the
Chevy Chase folk got to work and did
something to help nature. to keep
their golf course in the best of condi-
ton throughout Washington's hot
Summers. And whether the critics are
right about the predicted big crop OF
crab grass on those Chevy Chase fair
ways (and they probably are all
wrong), there isn't any question that
Chevy Chase is going to be green and
fair when the other courses are burned
up by the sun.
1t is equally true that the United
States Golf Association, knowing the
importance of watered fairways, has
foreborne for several years from
awarding a major championship to a
course which does not have such
equipment, holding that abnormal roll
and unusually hard ground make for
artificial conditions and low scoring.
So those Chevy Chase folk are going
to be envied lot next Summer. And
