The cats whiskers, the cats meow,
but how about the cats Christmas?
Few animals are more difficult to
make join the annual festival. if one
tries too hard.
Many households find out that not
much is needed to make the feline
population get dim understanding
that something is afoot.
Just a plate of salmon, or a catnip
mouse.
Indeed, the general stir in a house
hold told many an intelligent cat that
the day was different.
This was not an intelligent under
standing, but rather an instinct, q
something in the very bone and marrow
Of the creature.
Actually there was no need to try to
give an animal possession Of the
Christmas story. It is impossible.
Only such overflow from tidings of
great joy as welled out Of the human
heart and mind could make any real
impression on the feline nature.
This nature is not lacking in affec-
ton, as some folks think. It is not our
type Of affectionate understanding. it
is true. but 1t is great deal more than
just q rubbing around the ankles in an
attempt TO wheedle a bowl Of milk.
This old idea belongs to the great
smear" campaign that has engulfed
this animal since the Dark Ages. when
witchcraft came into being as force.

Sugar Bowl AciditY

What's all this noise about the Mary

got to crow so loud about? Beating
Tennessee? And just what makes Ten
nessee so great? What good team did
they play? What good team did Mary
land play?
Where ] come from. zero plus zero
still equals zero.
If Maryland is so anxious to find some
suitable" football foes, send her to the
Midwest. She'll get her schedule filled
and her hands, too.
Miffed Midwesterner.
Washington sports writers added a
sour note to Maryland's Sugar Bowl
victory over the Tennessee football team.
In reading the Monday morning
quarterbacking" Of the game. one gets
the impression that Maryland rode to
victory on its sole effort Of bottling up
Tennessee stars Ted Daffer and Hank
Lauricella. Granted the halting OF these
two did contribute toward Maryland
victory, but there was no need to make
goats out Of those two unfortunate
boys. College football is still an "an1a-
teur" sport and there is little gained
by belittling players Of losing team
be 1t Tennessee or Maryland.

This and That

Before that, the cat was regarded as a
friend.
During the Dark Ages, so-ca1led, the
cat became, in the popular mind, the
friend and conf1dant Of witches, the
poor possessed" women who represent
ed malign influences, again in that same
terrible popular mind"
Later the cat came into better rela-
tions with the generality Of mankind,
but still it must fight against a certain
number of persons.
To entertain q cat is not hard.
It takes no more than a sheet of
paper, or an old cardboard carton.
Even the naughty Persian or caprici-
Gus Siamese joins with the common cat
in liking piece Of crackly paper.
A sheet Of paper-even this one-wilI
enthral any puss, In boots or out.
Just put it down on the floor, and
watch the fun. Any cat will come at a
run, seat itself squarely in the center,
and then look around for approval.
Puss will then began to wash.
Tradition has it that this rite comes
about because she wishes to keep her
self free from any possible odor which
might tip of mice to her presence.
Perhaps that is as good an argument
as any. X
Cats are in thran to mice, according
to this idea. Small mice really dictate
puss's action.
She Is. in modern words, afflicted with

Actually, friends Of cats prefer to be-
lieve that the household cat is just plain
sensible. Her saliva is said to be anti
septic. and thus helps to safeguard her
against germs, whose wandering pres
ences threaten her as much as her
friends.
Above ALL she likes to be clean.
Most Of her habits are on the side
of sanitation, not the fussy sort which
mankind has evolved. but more accord
ing to the common sense of the old
MoaSic laws and regulations.
II puss could read. no doubt she would
be consistent reader of the Talmud.
Helping the family cat enjoy the
holidays means just few extra tidbits

Preface for 1882
Mrs. d. N. II.

One cannot read your editorial en-
titled Preface for 1852" without prais-
ing the opulence Of the moral value
characterizing it. AS you very correctly
stated, I'VE realize, our duty to live as
brothers; vet in practice we act as II,
we were enemies" y, The sole factor 1ofr
the present decentralization Of human
character is our persistent failure 10
apply brotherhood in its genuine Chris
tian spirit. The lack Of mutual under
standing and love, resulting from the
egotistic attitude Of men of the goth
century, has eliminated in misery, suf-
fering and privation. The substitution
of materialistic greed for spiritual So
ciety is the main cause of the trend
toward catastrophe.
Unless we ardently adhere to and prac-
tice in every phase of our life the ideals
of the Great Teacher Of love and forgive
ness-whose birth we have just cele-
brated-the ocean of agony and fear,
doubt and uncertainty. in which the en-
tire humanity is plunged, will broaden
and deepen.

The Star of December 81 carried an
excellent article by Margaret Troxell on
Arlington's completion Of 20 years under
the Nations first county manager plan
Of government. By inadvertence, 1t is
presumed, the name of Robert N. An
derson was omitted from the list Of those
comprising the Civic Federation Com
mittee for the change in Arlington's s
form of government. Mr.. Anderson was
the committee chairman, and = was
largely due to his superb generalship
in the election campaign that the fed
eratien's recommendations were so
heartily indorsed by the voters
There was lasting honor for all who
had any part in effecting the change
and I feel that Bob" Anderson, as we
affectionately know him, should not be
forgotten in the makeup of the honor
roll. Mr.. Anderson, I recall, was also
chairman of the Better Government
League Of that day which selected and
supported five candidates from the 81
announcing for the board. Four of the
leagues slate were elected. ..
