7 HOUSE CATS
SEEK HOME

Two beautiful, grown house
cats are offered for adoption to-
day, preferably to go into the
same home since they have never
been separated.
The cats, "Pinkie," a male
maltese, and Mae" female tiger,
are nicely housetrained and are
thoroughly apartment pets. They
were born and raised in an
apartment. They would make
marvellous companions for an
elderly person or someone who
is fond of intelligent, healthy
cats. The pets, however, are not
accustomed to children. They
are being given away because
there is no one to look after
them during the day.
If you would like to adopt
"Pinkie" and Mae" notify Mrs.
H. F.. Beam, 1862 Twenty-first St.
N. w. (Sterling 9639) after $50
p. m. today.
The pet editor of The Times
will assist in finding other homes
for pets through tits column.

cessful, your guests should destroy

Miss Whitfield
 Taking Lead in
 Empire Contest
Margaret Lindstrom Jumps from 18th to 3rd Place
 in Today's Count

Miss Betty Whitfield leads con- testants in the Daily Alaska En- pires Good Will Contest and On To Mexico Tour and Miss Mar garet Lindstrom jumps from 18th to third place in the race. Sub scribers to the Daily Alaska En- pire are responding quickly and the On To Mexico Trip is off to good start.
 Good Showing
 The first few days work could rot be expected to produce heavy voting, because most of the con- testants were slow to really get in action and most of the preliminary work has been to explain the de- tails of the campaign to all of their friends and urge them to save their votes that they will receive when paying their subscription bill to the Daily Alaska Empire. Many con- testants are now personally col lecting subscription votes from their friends.
 Others are asking their friends to cast the subscription votes for them in the ballot box located in the Empire office.
 Contest Not Long
 The Daily Alaska Empires Good Will Contest and On To Mexico Tour is not long It is not stren- uous period for the contestant, but the one who works consistently has by far the best chance to win. She should convince her friends that she is really in the race and should keep them constantly reminded of her candidacy. The winners of prizes in this contest will be those who secure the best cooperation of friends, as well as who works best herself.
