Washington, Dec. 12---That all
women OF the nation boycott meats
and refuse to buy meat products un-
til all butchers guarantee humane
and sanitary slaughter of animals
was urged by Miss ind-af-Hageby,
honorable secretary OF the Animal
Defense and Ant!-yiyiseetion So
ciety Of London.
AS an added means of procuring
humane slaughter she said:
This congress which is rich AMI
powerful. should establish in Bos-
ton, Philadelphia or Washington a
model slaughter house. where only

with which animals arc slaughtered
in a model abattoir in Stockholm.
Il could kill every person in this
room In twenty minutes without
causing one bit of pain or without
letting the person know that he was
going to be killed by employing this

Il have seen twenty cows killed In

costs $3.50" Il

audience blushed and loked uncom

Miss Lindaf-Hageby declared that
women who wear sealskln coats
ought to be ashamed Of themselves.
The women who wear sealskln
coats arc as cruel as the men who
get the seals and bleed them
alive for women---ignorant and
shamefully ignorant women---to
wear on their backs she said.
Miss Lind-af-EIageby said she did
not find the theory of a psychic re-
lationship with monkeys and ru-
happy doctrine. and that she had a
monkey once who was "fsr brighter
and far more charming than many
human beings know"

studied monkeys---their little lives;
their little hearts---you would not
only find 1t less difficult in accept

positively find certain parental in
stincts and relationships that you
might be delighted to acknowledge.
The Congress before it adjourned
adopted resolution which called
upon the United States government
to appoint committee to consist
of members Of both houses to inves-
