ta8 named BIbs after cat that
she hl5 lct5 about IN school
was all excited about getting her
car back
But WHOM The Wuehts looked
~ our rc,eIy acquired cat they
SAID 10 Wasn't Bihs Tinky was
very disappointed you could see
that from the way She acted.
But she made friends with our
ra,-aaA- had him tn her arms
and purrinC IN about two
minutes. our cat is the darned-
est cuddler that ever was. Yes
terdaV he sat on my shoulder
and STAYED there -all-the- time
that I was fixing the furnace.
He's sort of an acrObatic cud-
dler. IL YOU can imagine what
he looked like. hanging onto my
shoulder while I shoveled coal.
Our cat has caused something
of a problem IN names. With
Kitty and 3-year-old Kitten in
the household il seemed neceS-
Sary 10 give the black kitten
distinctive name like Ink Spot,
Ebony or EiChtball.
The trouble il that none Of
these names seems 10 stick. ~
We wind up calling the cat
kitten-C There's a household
for you-Kitty. Kitten and Kit
ten-Cat.
That's all somewhat beside
the point, though. The important
thing is that Tinky Wright
wishes some one would tell her
where Bibs, her black kitten. is.
TinkY lives at 1862 Lafayette
avenue, Lincoln Park.

UP on the story Of Capt. Colin p.
Kelly Jr. who lost his life fight
lnC the japanese.
The letter from the White
House, recommending Col n
Kelly III for West Point APP
pointment i'm 1856 was the out
standing honor. but reports say
that this action was taken after
Washington had heard OF an
incident i'm Detroit.
The Detroit incident was the
formation. by the army recruit
inc office. Of n Colin p. Kelly
