force will have to be cut down unless
more money is forthcoming for their
support. The women's auxiliary will
undertake to collect funds to pre-
vent such contamination, as well
as arouse a general interest in hu-
name treatment of animals.
One handicap under which the Or

a series of pictures of great value were

In other sections of the country the

faint trace of the earth's shadow crept

"Washington's laws to prevent
cruelty to animals are among the
best in this country. Their enforce
ment is 80 lax that the National
Capital daily witnesses treatment Of
animals that would be tolerated no
where else in the civilized world"
This is the platform on which Mrs.
Seth Mitchell Ackley and Mrs. Wal
lace Neff have set out to organize
an auxiliary to the Washington HUI
name Society, members of which will
engage in active campaign for more
humane treatment of horses in this
city
These women virtually will be po-
icewomen. Armed with the society's
cards which allow them to have ar
rests made without warrants, they
will keep an eye out for cases Of
cruelty, and will search the city for
old and dccrepit animals, for which
they say Washington has become a
dumping ground because of the lax
enforcement of its humane laws.
Society Women Join.
The idea was suggested In part by
the appearance in Police Court re-

a witness in case of cruelt yto ami
