Laws to Forbid Sale of Rabbits
And Chicks as Pets Sought Here

Christian P. Norgord of the
American Humane Association
said such prohibitions have been
adopted in many other cities, in
cluding New York, Boston, Chi
cago and San Francisco.
Mrs. Frank McSherry of the
Tailwaggers Club said her organi-
zation was not particularly OPP
posed to rabbits as pets, for it
encouraged the keeping of pets
so long as they were well treated.
She pointed out, however, that
baby chicks should be kept in
groups of at least three, since they
huddle together for warmth to
survive. She opposed sale of
chicks or ducklings from street
corners or other places where
there were no proper brooder IA
cilitieS.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said he personally would
be inclined to favor rules designed
to protect the young fowl or
rabbits from abuse.

Campaigns Continue
In House on District
Home Rule Measure

Campaigns for and against the
Senate-passed Home Rule bill for
the District are continuing in the
House.
Representatives Kennedy, Dem
ocrat, of Massachusetts,, and
Auchincloss, Republican, of New
Jersey, announced last night they
have circularized House members
in support of home rule. They
asked for more signatures on the
Kennedy petition to bring the
Senate bill to vote on the floor.
The petition to discharge the
House District Committee from
control of the measure tabled
there now needs 48 more sigma
lures, the home rule champions
said. A total of 218 signers will
be required.
Given the opportunity to vote, :"
said the Kennedy -Auchincloss let
ter, 1--WE feel certain that the
House, like the Senate, will pass
the home rule bill by an over
whelming vote. Congress will thus
be relieved of an onerous burden,
and there will be restored to
Washington the local self Govern
ment which existed from 1902 to
1847."
Meantime the Washin g o n
Board of Trade continued to cir
culate in the House a pamphlet
outlining its objections to the

Distribution of purple chicks as
Easter novelties for children would
be illegal under a regulation
sought by several animal protec-
tive organizations here.
The regulation would prohibit
the selling or giving away of baby
chicks, ducklings or other fowl
and live rabbits as pets, toys or
novelties. whether or not they
we're dyed or otherwise artificially
treated.
1t also would ban use of fowl
or rabbits for display or decorative
purposes.

The Pentagon has produced O
champion mousetrap.
Born in a clothes closet in the
worlds biggest Office building, it
is a tawny. perfectly marked cat
named Pentagon Rusty.
Rusty, lynx-eyed, graceful and
full of aplomb over his growing
fame, gathered enough points to
become a champion in judging
at the 4th Champion All-Breed
Cat Show at the Annapolis Hotel
last night.
The hotel was no place for a
saucer of cream or a mouse.
The show began yesterday andl
ends with final judging at 8 pm.
today, with several hundred of
the most beautiful and most
efficient mousetraps in the world.
AS production, the Cat Fanciers
of Washington have quite show.
Rusty. owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Bayer. of 3444 Twenty
fourth street Sc. is one of four
cats born to a red tabby mother
and a gray tabby pappy.
The mother, at least, was resi-
dent of the Pentagon and wasl
owned by an employe there.
Rusty'e entry in the show busi-
ness was as accidental as his
birthplace. Because the Bayers
have at least eight other cats,
Rusty went to his first show strict
ly as a travelling companion to
another Bayer cat.
His markings, which drew the
acclaim of the judge. Mrs. Lester
O'Neill, last night, have been
called perfect" by three British
and five American judges. Since
then he's been collecting ribbons
in Norfolk, New York, Boston,
Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago and
Atlantic City-which is fair grade
ribbon collecting for an eight
month-old tabby.
Cats of all colors. most of them
contented and all well groomed
and equally well fed. filled cages
in the first floor Everglades Room
and overflowed into second floor
quarters.
