VALUED PIGEONS LOST ON FLIGHT Mystery of Air Holds Fate of 1,976 Birds Worth $25,000 Toronto, Ont, Sept. 10.--Pigeon fanciers of this district are faced with a real mystery. In some unaccount- able way, 1,952 pigeons are missing, and NY ois may total $25,000. On Friday 1,976 of the speedy birds were sent to St, Mary's, Ont, 'On Satur- day they were liberated by W. Mofi- fatt, of London, skilled liberator, for a racing flight back to Toronto, Oniy 24 of 'the lot returned to their lofts. How it all happened no one knows. Only a weck ago, the same number flew 75 miles, from New Hamburg to Toronto, without any difficulty. Their home finding abilities have been rec. ognized for years. If but one or two were missing, it would be understand- able, the owners point out, but that nearly two thousand should disappear in onc short hope is beyond .compr:- hension. E. Murby, a director of the Toronto federation of racing pigeun clubs, stated that 6,000 were cnce lost while flying thc English Channel in a fog, but pointed out that there is no comparison between the two very bird in the Targe flight wi banded. M. Gaunt, Toronto, has been designated by the pigeon fanciers to investigate the unusual loss. the Helpful | Hints It the mirror has been scratched the blemish may often be removed by rubbing with jeweller's rouzu, % Ld + .

CREMATED OR BURIED ALIVE British Society Starts Active Campaign for Mort- uary Chapel London, Sept. 11.--Relating blood curdling stories of persons being buried or cremated alive, the society for the prevention of premature burial has started an active campaign in Great Britain for the construction of a mortuary chapel where hodies can be placed until there is no further doubt of their wish to re- main longer on this earth. Maxwell Johnson, secretary of S. P, P. B, said there was such a mortuary in Munich. Attached to each body under suspicion is an electric cord which rings a bell at slightest movement. Attend- ants are on duty day and night to listen for the life-ringing bell. "Amazing precautions," Johnson said, "are sometimes taken by peo- ple to make sure that they will not be buried alive. They have orac:: ed that a stiletto shall be thrust through them, a vein severed, or they shall be decapitated and their body buried at sea. * "A Russian nobleman invented an electric switch for coffins. If this was touched by the corpse it lights a red lamp, rang a hell and waved a flag in the cemetory above." This recalls the story of a do- mestic servint named Annie Green who was hanged in 1850. Fourteen hours later she revided and was pardoned, later married and had three children. The Soviet points out that cre- mation is becoming popular among those who fear they might he bur- ied in the cold ground alive.

AN ANCIENT CAT Kenton, Del.--Known among her friends as the world's oldest living cat, "Mommie" will cele- brate her twenty-eighth birthday soon at the home of her master, William S. Arthurs, postmaster of Kenton, Del., says "The Hartford Courant." The exact date of the cat's birth is not known, but it was. in June, 1901, that a very small and emaci- ated stray kitten mewed piteously outside the back door of the Ar- thur's home and was taken in, fed and adopted. '""That kitten was 'Mommie,' " said Mr. Arthurs, "She was very small as a kitten, and still is a very small cat, as you can see. "She was a very hard worker until her age began to tell on her. She shows her age now, lying around almost all the time. She is very fond of milk, but eats very little of anything else." "Mommie" is a white eat, win a few streaks and spots of hlack and brown. Though her teeth are no longer serviceable and har hear- ing is poor, her tongue retains much of its old-time vigor and with it she keeps her fur sleek, fluffy 'and immaculate. "I think 'Mommie' is the oldest cat living," he continued.' "T never heard of one that was older." Mr. Arthur's claim of twenty- eight vears as '"Mommie's" age was not disputed by cat experts here. Dr. William A. Cooke, ir., veterin- arian of the Caroline Earle White Free Dispensary for Animals. main- tained at 2315 South Chadwick Street hy the Pennsvlvania Wom- en's S.P.C.A., said the oldest cat he knew it was twenty-three years of age. "Healthy cats are more long-liv- ed than dogs," says "Encyclopedia Americana," 'Authentic records tell of not a few over twenty vears nf age and of some even thirty." i ------------ "You're scared to fight." "I ain't; but me mother'll lick me." "An how'll she know?" "She'll see the doctor goin' to your 'ouse." ests in the Home -- and the Communit US. TOURISTS' STAY AVERAGES 8 DAYS 50 p.c.
