In Plenty Produced, However, When Red Cross Supplies Were Periled by Rats. A picturesque story of tho war comes from Warsaw, whore all tho cats had "disappeared. One went about the city and saw never ? eat. So completely ?.had the mis vanished that when the Red-Cross warehouse, JuS.t outside of Warsaw, became overrun with rats and mice, to the Serious. damage of fond and clothing'stored in It, almost every other expedient was thought of and tried before it occurred to anybody that perhaps there might be a cat or two still left somewhere In the com munity.- Then some olliclnl .of the warehouse mentioned to a v l'ollsh . workman that If 11 eat could he- Couijd the animal would he a great help in protecting the Red Cross property; and from here, there and everywhere came the w'vqs of the citizens and the citizens themselves, each carefully hearing n treasured cat.

Campbell Sinton figures out that 4,000,000 horse power from sunlight goes to waste on every square mile. Which means, writes "Glrard" In the Philadelphia Press, that Old Sol sheds upon tho surface of Pennsyl vania the tidy equivalent of nearly 200,000,000,000 horse power.

What high jinks the stock brokers can have when tho promoters list on the exchanges 10,000,000,000 of com mon stock In Sunlight Consolidated. His First Pay in 15 Years. A man who spoke with a pro nounced Swedish accent appeared at the Income tax office at St. Louis and exhibited two new leather cases which contained $9,000 In travelers' checks. He said that he had just had his only pay day in fifteen years and had heard thdt an income tax was due. It appears Xhat during the fifteen years he was employed on a ranch In Wash ington urtder an agreement with his employer for wages, plus board and clothes. During the fifteen years he "went to town" only twice a year and drew no money, he said, because his employer had bought everything for him. When last month he decided to go to South America to become a rancher in his own name, his employer accom panied him to town and bought the checks for him. He was told that no tax was due from him.
