MARY, A CAT, HAS GOVERNMENT JOB Washington Feline Does Her| Duty Faithiully Washington, Jan. 28 (#—There is | & cat called Mary, whose white coat bears unmistakable evidsnce thaf | her vague ancestry includes at least cne member of the tortoise shell persuasion. She isn't a large cat, but she is, certainly, a feminist and oc- cuples a position of trust and im- portance in the naton’s government. Mary prefers to work at night | and sleep in the daytime. Her post | of duty is that section of the ex- tensive Capitol basement which lies directly beneath the celebrated dome—the hub of one of the main wheels in the governmental ma- chinery. There, the rats are plenti- | ful and Mary does well, earning not only a good living but a repu- | tation as a good mouser. Other cats have similar assign- ments in different parts of the old | basement, but Mary seems to have | the most notable record. Consider- ing the age of the basement and the number of holes and crannies that offer harbor to rats. David Lynn, architect of the Capitol, sees little likelihood that the staff of mousers| will have a chance for some time | to become lazy through lack of work. Many “experts” have tackled the Capitol's rat problem with poison, Mr, Lynn recalls, but none has been £0 successful as Mary and her col- CANADIAN AGAIN WINS DOG DERBY Emil St Goddard Comes in First for Third Consecative Time| The Pas. Man. Jan. 28 (P—For the third time Emil St. Goddard, seneational young French Canadian musher has pitted his skill against the best of the northland's dog derby runners and. won. The 20 year old contestant won the tenth annual 120 mile The Pas derby yesterday in 11 hours 25 minutes, 52 seconds, establishing a | record of 3 hours and 35 minutes on the first of the three forty-mile | laps. His previous wins were in the 200-mile non-stop race in 1925 and In the 90 mile derby of 1926. Farly Brydges 20, was second in this year's event, Leo St. Goddard, vear old brother of the winner, | was third, and “Shorty” Russick, vateran of the race tralls, fourth. Two other entries were forced out| of the run before the first two 40- mile laps were completed. The winner, who maintained a lead through the three days of the event, was credited with rare skill and endurance in the handiing of his team of seven greyhound huskies. He surprised the epecta- tors yesterday by driving at the samo furious pace that had marked {the first two 40-mile laps of the |race. All of his dogs finished | strong “with their tails in the air and rearin’ to go,” as a prospector wpnmmr put it. ne of the dogs contracted a sore pnw on fhe third day and St. God- dard whipped 2 mocassin from his pocket and covered it, contlnuing the race within a few seconds. St. Goddard's speed on the final Hap probably was due to his desire |to ald his brother who battled all the way with Brydges for second | place. ~ Leo started the third lap 14 minutes behind Brydges and though he failed to oust his rival from |second place he cut the margin to seven minutes. Emil got his brother placed directly behind him and acted as pacemaker for the | youth. _Byrdges finished with six dogs, | carrying one on his sled. He drove a hard race on the final stretch with the knowledge that his lead was | being clipped minute by minute. It was his lead dog that eaved him trom losing his position. The dog, |a pup, given him by the late Walter Co)m-, famous musher, did the work of two in the latter stage of the i race. |Object to Jazz So Miners Do Old Steps Lanark, Scotland, Jan. 28 (&) — Old-time dancers and old time fid- dlers and bagpipes are having their [ Inning once a week at dances given | by the miners’ institutes of Lanark- | shire. | “Swing your partners, all hands | around” may now be heard every | saturday night while “Turkey in |the Straw” and other old-fashioned | quadrille music displaces the jazz | brigade. | Middle-aged miners and their | wives objected to the monopoly | which the Charleston and Blc#: Bottom had achieved at institute | parties. A compromise resulted in one night a week being given over entirely to the old dancers. |Josef Hoffman Plans To Play for Violinist | New York P —Joset Hofmann the planist, will be an accompanist at a public concert for the first time in his career when he plays with Lea Luboshutz, Russtan violinist, here January 30.

Minneapolis, Jan. 28 (R—Mrs. Marshall Field of Chicago and Wash- |ington wants the faithful old police |dog that guarded the body of his recluse master, who was killed Tues- day by an automoblle. In order to save “Old George Barth” from bur- ial in a Potters field, police decided | to sell the dog and use the proceeds for funeral expenses. Many offers were received, including one from a representative of Mrs. Field at | Washington. “She will pay all the | tuneral and other expenses” the representative wired, and asked that preparations be made to send the dog to Washington at once.
