that abound where human beings live
too closely crowded together.
If the spot. amid the trees and
grasses of Long Island and swept by
its sea winds that is to be set apart
as sacred to the carcasses OF dead
dogs were turned into a playground
for these poor living children, what a
blessing il would be to them! How
the fresh air would bring back the
color to the pale little cheeks! How
the flabby muscles would strengthen
as they romped among the daisies!
How the ozone of the country air
would put to rout the demon of tu-
berculosis already beginning to hover
about the doomed little creatures!
Thirty-fve hundred dollars would
give many child the week or two
in the country that would mean life
and health to It. Surely an object is
we'll worth while as preserving the
bones of deceased Pomeranian. Ger
tainly the shouts of joy OF little chill
dren going up from beauty spot or
nature are as pleasing to heaven as
the walls and lamentations of neu-
rotic woman weeping over the tomb
of her dead pug.
Would Establish Fine Summer Camp
Thirty-five hundred dollars would
establish summer camp where poor
working girls who have come to the
last ounce of their endurance could
have few weeks rest and sather
themselves together again and get
fresh strength and courage TO begin
the battle of life once more.
1t would make a place where over
worked mothers with their sickly
babies could go for a little while and
be given new lease on life. 1t would
buy an entrance into a home for
many a forlorn old woman where she
would be safe from the winds of win
ter and the suns of summer and be
able to end her days in peace and
comfort

cratic burying ground for pampered
Fidos is 20 be accomplished with much
ceremony, with a dog standing at the
gate to receive the first canine fu-
neral that takes place.
What do you think OF that? Isn't
It enough to make even dog howl
with disgusted protest?
What sort of a heart can woman
have who gives $S,500 to build a
nausoleum for dogs. when there are
tens of thousands of starving babies
at her very door?
What kind of a queer, distorted
philanthropy can prompt such gift
that puts the welfare OF a dead ami
NAL above that OF live human be-
ing?
Thirty-fve hundred dollars is a
large sum. With 1t one can do much
to alleviate the sufferings of the world.
With II one can save many lives and
bring happiness into many homes.
With II one can change the whole
course of existence for dozens of peo-
pie and lift them out of the slough Of
misfortune up on to the broad high
way where they can make their own
way toward success.

SILVER OF BONE IN ARM
Governor Walsh of Massachusetts, IN
dergoes Operation.

Boston, Jan. % Governor Walsh was
yesterday obliged to call his physician
DR.. Scudder, to attend to his right arm
which was broken on Labor day last year
and which has been troubling him fcr
several days.
There is nothing alarming in the gov
ernors case. The bone has knitted per-
fectly, but there is surface wound
which it is thought may have been caused
by tiny silver of the broken bone re-
naming in the flesh and working out to
the surface. A small section of the gov
ernor's arm is swollen, due to the pres
ence of this foreign substance.
Yesterday the doctors opened it up and
cleaned out the wound which they ex-
pect will heal promptly.
The governor stated late yesterday
afternoon that &c felt no pain whatever
and was making no changes in his plans.
He would be on the job the same as
ever, he said.
