THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL,

After person gets used to cats, as
pets, dogs don't seem to have much
sense.
Ways and habits Of these two tribes of
animals are so different that there is no
reconciling them.
A small black spaniel had come up on
the back porch to sample deep bowl of
salmon put out for the outside cat
Suddenly pal Of his, bird dog,
appeared upon the scene. poking its
spotted nose over the rim of the porch
floor.
Remember, these two dogs were pals.
They lived together, and got along very
nicely, as good pals should.
But what happened now?
The spaniel began to tremble violently.
then faced its friend, and began to growl
and bark.
The entire action seemed opposed to
sensible tactics. Cats, the observer felt
sure, would never have acted so.
There Is, of course, rough and ready
way to canine actions seldom if ever
found among the cats.
Their paws are harsh and clumsy, in
comparison with those of cat.
Their claws, too, are always out. The
cat Is able to draw it's claws in or put
them out at will.
A cats claws are not always extended
in anger.
Their extension is one of the three
standard ways of showing feline pleasure.
This is commonly shown in the action
sometimes known among their friends
as making bread"
Especially on a soft cloth, or other
surface, a cat likes to stick out its claws,
and push them into the material time
and time again This kneading action
is one OF the most typical cat movements.
Purrlng, of course, is the best known
OF the three ways of showing pleasure.
The last is the yawn.
YaWning is cats way of showing sat-
isfaction, as well as of greeting his
friends.
Speak to cat asleep. and it will do
one of two things-stretch it's legs and
stick out its claws. or yawn.
The cats yaWn is peculiar and sig
nificant greeting.
This animal has taken what would be
equivalent to i'll breeding, among hu-
mans and made it into most delicate
sign of affection.
The trouble with people who say cats
have no affection is simply that they
have never taken the time to study the
animal. and to find out in what peculiar
ways it greets its friends
The yawn. after all, need not be merely
sign of indifference or ill breeding.
The smile is not so regarded. and a
yaWn is just another sort of smile, in
sense.
Since there can be no human THOUGHTS
accompanying 1t, the cats yawn can be
taken solely as real greeting, a signif-
cant way of saying, Hello, there, how
are you?"
Dogs come bounding up to one in the
most bolsterous way, as If aiming to
knock one down.
Cats, never.
A cat walks up with grace, tail held
high.

At 6 am. daily, urgent and uncom-
promising tones of an alarm clock
shatter the silence OF the Central
Union Missions basement laundry
room.
A moment later five lights radiate
their glare throughout the room, and
. radio blares out lively tune.
Sitting erect amid the clamor in .
large brass double bed surrounded by
wicker curtains John S. Bowman, the
missions laundryman, rubs his eyes
and stares of into space, perhaps
thinking of the 1900 pieces of laundry
that he turns out each week
An inventor OF sorts. Mr.. Bowman
is alone responsible for this early
morning din purposely let loose to
rouse him from slumber impregna-
BILE by the alarm clock alone. Hence
he has attached cord to the clocks
alarm mechanism which automati-
cally turns on both lights and radio
when the alarm rings.
Mr.. Bowman came to the mission
IN 1881. Now 50, he was born in
Charlottesville. Va. the son of a stone
cutter. who died when Mr.. Bowman
was years old After finishing
grade school his mother took him to
Richmond, along with q sister and
five brothers Later he worked for q
Richmond ice company for 18 years
until the plant was closed during the
depression. From then on it was q
matter OF doing odd jobs until Mr..
Bowman finally drifted into Wash.
hgton. Having eaten nothing In two
DAYS, Mr.. Bowman happened to pass
the mission with a friends. They
went In and were given food and a
bed. On the following morning Mr..
Bowman was asked If he would care
to work at the mission in return for
his bed and board. He remained, and
in a few months. when the laundry
man found outside employment, Mr..
Bowman was assigned the job.
The job has its attra ctions, espe-
cially for Mr.. Bowman, who likes
children. In charge of the clothes
room. he meets each Of the many
needy children who come to the mis-
sion daily for clothes. A devout
church worker, he asks each urchin
whether he or she goes to Sunday
school. If the answer is no" Mr..
Bowman promptly arranges to see the
chi]d's parents and endeavors to get
their consent for him to place the
child with Washington church Sum-
dav school He is seldom refused.
Mr.. Bowman is proud of his laun-
dry. The clothes of each man living
~t the mission are fumigated nightly
before they 60 to the laundry. Bow
man does all his own washing and
ironing with the occasional aid of
visiting laundress. His ironing ranks
with that of Washington's best laun-
dries. There is never wrinkle or
burn In his finished product. whether
it be shirt or handkerchief.
ITS pleasant life here" Mr.. Bow
man says. Mrs. Bennett is as good

as gold to every one. and every one
is treated like a human being. Each
person does his share of the work,
and consequently all are happy"
Mr.. Bowman is typical Of the many
men living at the mission, whose CITY,
wide drive for the new sl25, 900 John
S. Bennett Memorial Building has
brought 5000 during The first three
days of the campaign.
This figure was announced yester-
day at a reporting luncheon for cam
paign workers by E. H. De Groot, jr.

Directors. Included among the large
gifts were $500 from Mrs. John S. Ben

Brands?
The buyers in the Coopera tive WHOLESALERS
select the products. They find manufac-
ture for them according to certain speci-
to fit a certain price--whi Oh is not too
high, but is above the average. Most pro-
cessors are glad to fill those require
ments, for they are certain Of an outlet
for their products. They want to sell what
they can or pack. If consumers not
satisfied wi tn the products they can ask
their wholesaler to try some thing else.
: Why should we buy Coop goods?
By purchasing Coop goods the consumers are
getting products whose quality is control
led by them. They buying goods which
have come to them wi thout being handled by
nunberless jobbers and middlemen who must
exact their profit for having handled the
products. The Coop goods come to you d.
rect from your cooperative wholesale at a
great saving. There is no big bill for
adverti sing attached to the price.
The Consumers Coopera tive Movement will
all the way into the production Of goods as
we'll as the wholesaling and retailing Of
them. When consumers buy their own Coop
Brands they are building up volume and re-
serves, and eventually, they 60 into
