Dawes of the United States. As a result of these interviews the prediction has been made that there is a strong liklihood that a naval conference will take place between Britain and the United States in London in the autumn, at a date that will not interfere -with British Premier's visit to the United States. The leapt of a definite advance in the limitation of naval armaments has become much brighter, owing to the fact that both Premier MacDon- ald and President Hoover have shown a disposition to sweep away technicalities in order, if possible, to achieve success in this great move ment for peace. Moreover, the fact that a partial suspension of naval construction has taken place in both countries is already an augury of good success. Premier MacDonald, it is said, is ex- ceedingly hopefull of reaching a fin- al argument which while recognizing the principle of parity will allow a certain amount of elasticity in the naval categories so as to meet the different requirements of the two countries, Thus the approach to a settlement appears based on sound common sense. President Hoover has publicly announced that party with Groat Britain "is enunciated by our naval autholitiee as a complete de- fense of the United States in any contingency." If any equal latitude is permitted to Great Britain. as hint ed in the foregoine declaration of Premier MarDonald, the prospects would appear to be bright for the lsoelrusiion of this roe:reliable contro- y.

They seem to know instinc- tively when a vessel is leaving port. I have seen them disappear down the gangway a few minutes after we bad docked, and never show themselves again until just before sailing time. And I have heard of their quieting a ship In one port and rejoining 11 at the other side of the globe. "Sometimes in port you'll see a dozen of them congregated at the end of a dock like sailors just home from a long voyage who have got together to swap yarns or compare the rela- tive merits of their shine," Almost from time immemorial cats have been going to sea. The ancient Romans were so well acquainted with their roaming habits that in Rome the cat became a symbol of liberty. The ancient Goddess of Liberty was represented holding a• cup in one hand, a broken sceptre in the other, and with a cat lying at her feet. Roy Urban, wireless operator of the President Polk, tells a story of a ship's cat that deserted the San Jose while that ship was in Puerto Cas - tette and rejoined it later in New Or- leans. Most ships are geed to have the eats aboard, for they kill rats ship'sancargo.dralcewhich do vast damage to a Usually, however, sailors dislike black cats, the popular superstition being that they bring bad luck, There are exceptions. The United Fruit Company's San Pablo carries four of the blackest cats that ever graced a steamer's deck. They were aboard when the San Pablo rode the hur- ricanes which did vast damage in Miami and Havana a few years go and came through unscathed. And on other occasions, with these four mas- cots aboard, the San Pablo has en- countered waterspouts off Florida and escaped without damage. Not long ago the crew of the fish- ing schooner Clifton of Wildwoed, N.J., rebelled when they found Cap- tain Hilding Peterson had taken aboard a black cat. They ticniaodt,d the captain throw the ce1 overboard, but he refused and put it ite itt, cabin for safe keeping, The eat eseaped and ran up into the rigging. Captain Petersen dared net ask any of the crew to brit:4 his pet (10WII, BO he climbed up after it himself. And lo! from the rerow's nest, where the eat had lodged, the caw On spied a great shoat of behy merle:rot ,ry- Ing to escape the Mein of a iicIttoI of bluefish, were quiekly low- ered, encircling the entire relief)l with seines, and three Imre later the boats returned with their catch. They filled 400 barrels, which brought $7,- 000. Not only did that black cat stay aboard the Clifton, but the ern' took up a collection to buy it a silk (melt - ion and a case of condensed milk. Another famous "pier -jumper" was One -eyed Mike, who ehowed a pref- erence for the China tura from dell Franetsca, Mike was a notedfighter in his day, and fragments,: cf hie eltag- gY gray fur had he• n loft bellied at every port he, totieht,d.

Now, a favorite sport aboard that ship was cute...bine hying fish, which were then prepared by the took aA a table delivery. Generally the bo'sun would hank a lantern near the well deck railing, and the fish, a.tracted bet the light, would fly aboard. Once their wine, had dried they were unable to fly and would lie flap- ping about helplessly on the clock, But if tiro weather was a bit heavy and the boat was shipping a see their wings would sometimes get the re- quisite wetting and the fish would fly away again. After Mike's first appearantte On hoard no flying fish were found on the well deck, and as the BM had been unusually calm the bohoin be- came snspiclooa. So he watched Mike and, sure enough, found the eat hav- ing a feast all to himself. Now the bo'sun was struck with the brilliant idea of training Mike to catch flying fish. So thereafter he lashed a Weavy steel pot to a well deck stanchion and taught the cat to pick up the flyitig fish as they fell on the deck and drop them into the pot, Each time Mike pilfered a fish he ,was given a licking. But for each four fish he put in the pot he got one for himself.

Minister's Partiality for Snuff. In a certain district itt th.e north of Scotland, about twenty years ago, there lived a Presbyterian minister who possessed a keen sense of humor and had a particular partiality for a pinch o' snuff. One day he was visiting one of the elders of his church. Before leaving the house the minister was invited to take a pinch from the elder's snuff- box. Taking advantage of the offer, the divine helped himself to a "good- ly" pinch and applied it first to one nostril, saying, "A little here," then to the other with the remark, "A lit- tle there." sniffing the remaining ertuff vigorously with both nostrils, ne exclaimed, "And a little every- where."
