or q few minutes while Il spends
rs time laughing at the way city Of
icials insist on kicking around the
hols question.
First there was the lll-advised
BAN ON aIl-night parking, . ban
that was imposed without suffi-
ctent study and whose enforce-
ment has not yet been started
though iE became officially effec-
dive Feb. 1. Having waited until
SITTER adopting the regulation to
realize that there aren't enough
wrAvnte parking places available TO
take care OF all Ehe cars I'm the
city, the police board then de-
cided to ask other boards to
make park and school property
available to the public.
Then this week, just to snarl
the whole question up again, the
board OF aldermen did . lOOp-the-
aOon and decided TO have the corr
w0ration counsel rule ON whether
or not the regulation against ALL
night parking Is legal. OF course
SIlis should have been done In the
first place, before any regulation
Was adopted. On the other hand,
the aldermen know very well that
the corporation counsel must have
been consulted before the ban was
voted. -
with the public getting more In
Nignant over the parking ban with
each passing week, the aldermen
had 10 put their feet In It all the
way by requesting" the police board
60 see that "city officials" are as
sured Of parking space at the city
hall mall. The police board, having
been caught with one. hot potato
that was still burning its fingers,
very promptly said that the mall
comes under the Jurisdiction Of the
park department.
How city officials can expect
members Of the public to respect
the all-night parking ban when
apparently their own principal
concern Is to make sure that
parking spaces are saved for them
Is something that we can't under
stand.
Il is an instnce Of the type Of
OfficialdOm that the public likes
beast.
Perhaps the best suggestion yet
made is that advanced editorially
by The Democrat, namely that the
mall be closed entirely to auton1o-
bile traffic and that no parking at
all bo allowed there. That would
solve the whole problem.
There seems no good reason why
city officials should be guaranteed
free all-day parking space while
Honer taxpayers have to spend their
time driving around the block to
find Q space and then have to drop
coins in parking meters to be al
lowed to park for only limited per-
aods.
As for the all-night parking bus
mess the police board could do
nothing better to take up the
whole subject again, and give 1t
careful, detailed study before Inn
posing any regulation. 1t should
find out whether IL wouldn't be
more feasible to allow parking on
enc side Of all streets, or whether
parking shouldn't be unrestricted
in residential sections where the
streets are wide enough.
The boards prestige would rise II
frank acknowledgement were made
that It had acted too hastily and
that it was taking up the whole
question again from the beginning.

Enemy of Labor

A good many things-some harsh,
some otherwise-have been said
about Sidney r. Katz during the
time that he has served as secretary
treasurer of the Maryland and Dis
trict of Columbia Industrial Union
Council. But it has remained for
another union spokesman to come
right out and openly accuse him of
being a willful enemy of labor.
This complaint against Mr.. Katz
appeared in the December Is issue
of the United Mine Workers Journal,
which cannot be accused of being
totally free of bias in the matter.
According to the Journal, Chairman
Randolph of the House District Com
mittee has been sponsoring vicious
and reactionary proposal to amend
the Districts 48-hour law for women
workers. (This amendment was in
tended to make possible greater en-
ployment of women. 1t was de-
feated by labor opposition in the
Senate because it did not provide
specifically for overtime, although
overtime payment would have been
made under the wage-hour law or
union contracts) Apparently-the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-12-25

Journal is not very specific about it
the local CLIO body with which Mr..
KATE is affiliated had either approved
or acquiesced in the proposal. Thus,
again according to the Journal, "this
strange CLIO maneuver has been en-
gineered by one Sidney R. Surrender
Your Rights Katz." Further on it
is asserted that Mr.. Katz sat in the
House gallery and looked on ap-
provingly" while poll tax congress-
men, sweatshoppers, lobbyists for
big industry, ETC., INDUCED in a
regular field day of preliminary as
saults on the rights of labor.
To the people of Washington, and
particularly the employers who have
had occasion to deal with Mr.. Katz,
these allegations will come as a dis
tinct surprise. Some will simply
refuse to believe them. But others,
no doubt, will 60 a step further and
come to the conclusion that if the
Mine Workers Journal does not hest
tate to prefer such fantastic charges
against Mr.. Katz, it might be we'll
to take all such accusations with a
generous grain of salt.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TracetDeH.

believe that Molnar in one Of his plays
left out the tail Of his chief Satan.
In the strictly animal kingdom, the
tail is delightful addition.
Animal ears are among their best
features, artistically speaking.
Human ears are mere blobs, in COM
parison. Girls and women even cover
up their ears, they are so ashamed of
them.
Did you ever just stop and look at
human ear, as you would at man
eating corn on the cob?
Just as the latter makes silly spec
tacle, so does the human ear. Very little
can be said for it except that 1t does
its duty fairly WE'LL in the majority OF
cases. AS an artistic addition to the
side Of the head it is not there, as the
phrase has it.
If it lies fiat 1t might as we'll not be
there, and If it sticks out 1t ought to be
cut of. Many mothers have agreed, but
did not have the temerity to slice off
their offsprings' ears, so contented them
selves with trying to bind the offending
members down at night, which was a
complete waste of time, because ears
are the original rubber, and bounce right
up again.
Even the feet of smaller animals, espe-
cially of the cat, are what the ladies
insist on calling cute"
Cats have special feature in their
whiskers, which are really mustaches.
Some people have theory that the
length of a cats whiskers is governed
by the theoretic possibility of the cat
having some day to drag its body through
small opening.
Tabby is supposed, according to this
theory, to try out any Aperture she may
wish to enter, and if her whiskers tickle
the sides then she will not 60 through.
Our experience with cats leads us to
believe that this theory is sheerest nom
sense. Some cats have luxuriant
! whiskers and some do not, just as some
human beings have long, strong hair,
while others Of even more vigor have
thin hair or none at ALL
The patterns worked out by nature
in the fur of cats is especially pleasing
Millions of hairs arrange themselves &C
cording to color and design and achieve
| an effect which is both striking and
| pleasing to the artistic human eye
| Among the cats the black and white
| ones are clean, brilliant-lookin creatures
| The black and white hairs are not all
mixed up, but are arranged in various
| groupings, which form designs. 1t is
| interesting to realize that these designs
were not intended by nature just to
| please the artistic human eye, but evil
IDENTITY were part of her plans for camou-
flage. The striped tiger cat plan OF
marking is one of the best camouf1ages
| in all nature, and there are probably
more tiger cats in one form or another
| than any other pattern.
Cat eyes cannot be owe '0oked In
assessing the charms of this artistic
| creature. Their color always harmonizes
| with the coat and adjusts itself to the
| environment. Many artists have found
special fascination in trying to paint
cat eyes. Not many have succeeded
| perhaps, because they are dealing here
with one of the primal mysteries.

Age is distinctively notable. No
other magazine produced in America
serves SO constructively to make
Christianity graphic reality. The
Christmas edition offers the sacred
narrative of the birth OF Christ in
terms OF acknowledged masterpieces
OF painting and sculpture, meticu-
lously>printed in color and half-tone
interpretations of ''The Alteration of
the Magi," by Lucas van Leyden,
Luini and Tintoretto, and THE
Alteration of the Shepherds" by
Giorgione, Rembrandt and Lerolle,
provide opportunity for a compare
tive study of esthetics. Other artists
whose works are represented are:
Fra Filippo Lippi, Fra Angelica, Peru
glno, Verrocchio, Andrea Vanni, Bot
tlcelli, Giovanni Bellini and Petrus
Christus. Many of the originals are
IN the National Gallery and their
reproduction exemplifies the creative
influence of that great institution.
Coming as it does in the midst of
war of global proportions, the
Cathedral Age mentions the struggle
only In passing. From cover to cover,
however, it very convincingly testifies
to the spiritual values for which the
United Nations are fighting. The
cause OF freedom, as it happens, also
is the cause of righteousness and
fellowship for which the Holy Child
OF the first Christmas came into the
world.

Peace to the troubled earth returns

For millions undismayed.

And tattered battle flags are turled
Conclusiuely the Kingdom then

Cathedral Age

Unique among periodicals, the
Cathedral Age, published for the
members of the National Cathedral
Association, is a work of such in
spirational beauty and power as to
deserve a much larger company of
readers. The Christmas number,
Just released, has an appeal far
beyond the limits of the audience to
which it particularly is addressed.
Contents include essays on "The
Nativity in Art" "The Music of
Christmastide" and How Christmas
Came to America" excerpts from the
Christmas Gospel, a message from
the Right Reverend Henry Saint
George Tucker, presiding bishop; a
Christmas play and an account OF
the symbolic decoration of the Beth
lehem Chapel of Washington Cathe-
dral. Each of these features makes
appropriate reading in the Yuletide
season.

than its literary significance that the

CHEVY CHASE CLUB.

Dear Sir:
II am astonished that you do not
know why dogs and cats have tails.
We'll, sir, permit me to say this:
THE tail acts as heater when the
animal sleeps. Extremities become cold,
and there's were nature steps in.
With its feet, or toes, tucked in under
the encircling brush, and the nose tucked
therein, the extremities are kept warm.
The brush acts as heater and respi-
rator when the heart action slows down.
"As ever yours, S. j. H."
Natures provisions for the care of her
children are truly marvellous.
No doubt our correspondent can ex-
plain with equal facility why house cats
turn around three times before they
sleep, even when there are no leaves or
grass for them to tread down.
All the motions of the smaller animals
are motivated by life trends which 60
back through countless ages.
All of our cats, according to theory,
had common origin in Egypt. In that
cline many centuries ago the cat had
to make itself a sleeping place or nest
amid tall reeds, and it discovered that
moving around in a circle did the job
neatly.
Many persons today find the cat one
of the most graceful and artistic looking
of all animals.
This does not mean that such persons
are Egyptians, or that they worship the
cat as they did, but simply that the
creature makes a particular appeal to
them.
The dog, in a similar way, has it's
particular friends. Real friends of this
small animal will like both species with
equal fervor.
This special liking for animals is still
not common thing. To the great bulk
or rabbit is thing of small moment,
to be given only a few seconds Of con-
sideration, If that Life is real and life
is earnest, heaven knows, and no one
can be blamed.
1t remains for special people who
have special interests in animals. They
have right to regard themselves as
special people. although without doubt
some of the members of the greater
group regard them as bit touched"
They are touched, but by the interest,
beauty and sheer appeal of animal life,
especially those creatures which we call
dogs and cats. These people and their
four legged friends have stepped over
the hard and fast boundaries which
divide the species and for brief mo-
ment show the various races of man.
kind what they could do if they tried
Unless they do, man is fast approaching
his end.
What might be called the architecture
OF animals is one on their genuine
charms
Even the tail seems to be just right
on an animal If we recall the draw
ings Of Satan, with his tail wrapped
around outside his trousers, as a sort
Of belt. we know how silly he looks.
We have always thought these pic
torial devils would look a great deal
more devlish if they had no tails, and

Raises Questions About Policy
OF Housing Center Bureau.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Such articles regarding the rooming
situation as that on the first page, the
second section, of The Star for December
% set off against the experience of some
home owners, including the writer, cause
one to wonder who is deceiving whom
and why
Last spring, responding to the cry for
opening of homes my wife and finished
and furnished our entire second floor
with its own modern bath, dedicated it
entirely for occupancy by girls, offered
the use of fully equipped laundry, etc.
Our first floor, besides two bedrooms and
bath for ourselves, has a large living
room with fireplace to which the girls
are welcome and our fuel allotment is
such that there will be no lack of heat
throughout the house, because of its
thorough insulation.
The War Housing Center, with which
these rooms 1.-TWO double and one single)
were listed, made no inspection nor sent
any inquirers here. Yet we are within
20 or Is minutes of Pentagon Building
in Arlington, and 20 to 80 minutes by
frequent 10-cent bus to Munitions and
other buildings near Constitution avenue
or K street lines
BY the middle of summer the rooms
were filled by recommendations from
other sources.

Three times the center telephoned to
ask whether we would take men, but it
has made no attempt to send us girls,
for whom the rooms were listed. Yet
the center makes such statements as
that on which the cited article was
based.
Why?
At present our rooms are filled Al
though one double room will be vacated
in few days, it evidently would be USE
less to 60 again to the Housing Center.
We instead shall have to rely upon other
sources, such as our other roomers, who
are enthusiastic about this as their tenn

time we shall have to aid, by our taxes
and bond investments, in support of the
