WSHINGTON A bitter war on the house cat hau been declared by the department of agriculture. Experts In tho biological bureau of that department are making exhaustive investigations of the cat as a spreader of disease. Already they have found out enough to convinco them that as much danger lurks In a cat as In a rat. and rats are known to be fatal distributors of plague. Upon the completion of theso investigations efforts will bo mado by

tho Federal authorities to have cat license laws passed. It Is much more

desirable, they Bay, to have a license for cats than a license for dogs. "Wo know that cats carry disease," said IL W. Henshaw, chief of the bureau, In discussing tbo light against tabby, "but we do not know to what rtont. Wo aro practically certain

thoy carry diphtheria, scarlet fever and ringworm, and we suspect thoy carry tuberculosis. All this we want to find out. Of course tho fight to bring about a cat license will be a hard one. Such a suggestion will be scoffed at. But In time people will come to reallzo what a menace cats are. That Is what wo hope to do bring tho people to such a realiza

tion.'

biology, Is at work on a bulletin on tho house cat. He has been studying tho question for years and knows tho general habits of cats thoroughly. "There aro lots of fallacious theories regarding tho usefulness of cats," says Dr. Fisher "As a mattor of faot they do alraoBt no good and a groat deal of harm. The difficulty in following tho question of tho extent to which they carry dlseaso 1b measured by tho difficulty of following tho cat. And yet there 1b no doubt In tho world that many a child who, for no

annarent reason and from no discern-

Iblo cause, develops a caso of diph

theria or scarlet fever owes Its Illness

and often its death to the cat it has been fondling. Moreover, cats are as

susceDtlblo to hydrophobia as dogs.

"Tho highly pampered pet cat of tho luxurious household never falls to get out and roam around with tho

tho alley cat, which prowls all night long with the pet cat, has spent tho dav sleening in some hut or hovel In

an alley where Binallpox, diphtheria or tuberculosis is hid. "Recently thero has been much at

tention paid to rats and tho harm they do. both as destroyers and as spreaders of dlseaso. In this connection the cat has been pointed out as a valuable aid In keeping down tho rat. That Is nn error. "I can state from my personal observation that only about 5 per cent of cats aro really mousers. I have seen cats that would tackle the biggest rat going and kill him, but such Instances aro rare.
