Dog Meat and the Views Of
Food Scientists 3
By BILL PRICE.

Appetizng news from Holland is that dog meat has
become and costly there that it is now being dod
out in small pieces to purchasers.
There will be no immediate alarm among Washington
of pet dogs big and little but the fact that these
animals seemingly coming into material value Tor meat
purposes may add to the affection for them
Food scientists of the Government assert unreservedy
that dog meat just good to eat that Of any other
animal They assured over the telephone that they
knew what they talking about 1t undipomatle
to ask in what particular shape the meat is ucesred
fcasseed broed salad One of them went far as to
bemoan the determination by the District Poundmaser IN
the last fiscal year of nearly 5000 animals Of all breeds
people in this country had yet learned the food value
of dog meat why not ship it abroadf
These scientists today investigating the breed Of
dogs most edible and of highest food value They get
ting all facts and statistics ready for the possible day when
there may be real live interest in this subject The
or poodle when skinned has small carcass it claimed,
but like of Luther Burbanks vegetable speciahes
may be put into class all its own.
Science to give considerable attention to the canning
value of dog meat that the packers when they form
combinations to make big profits from this contemplated
new industry, may save time in experiments
Secretary Redfied, of the Department of Commerce.,
than year ago conceived the idea that salt water
dogsh equal In food value to any other fish, that the
name only prevented people accepting the meat in
mercal FORM Expert agreed with the Secretary
and began canning dogh under the attractive title Of
he kept samples of the product in his office and distributed
them among friends and newspaper Those who ate
pronounced the meat equal to any other that swims.
Trouble developed, however, about the keeping quail
ties of the grey fish, when canned He refused to retain
for long time his original freshness This difficulty is
being gotten rid of Smoked kppered the dog fish Is
a choice morsel scientists assert.
Dr. H. F. Moore acting director of the Bureau Of
Fisheries says that it has long been known to scientists
that the big, numbering porpose which often in
the waters of Chesapeake bay and the lower Potomac had
great food value The meat may be cut in portions like
beef or canned Dr. Moore says the meat is much like
whale meat which is being used very generally in
all parts of the world The porpose is small reproduc-
ton of the whale He devours millions of eknown food
fish and his commercial would save smaller fish.

TODAY'S TOPIC
Do You Want a Baby?

FAINT asylums in the world that
can supply love in anything like
the measure that it's needed. But
any normal. happy home should be
able to supply plenty of it. And
when every such home reaches out
to demand an extra baby to love
and care for, the orphans millen-
mum will be on its way.
And 1t will be a much prompter
and pleasanter millennium because
women are seeing that child
adopting isn't Just a matter of be-
ing charitable and kind.
II two lonely people. disap-
pointed in their own hope of par
enthood, take in a baby that hap
pens to be friendless, but that
hasn't a bit of less infant charm
on that account, the baby surely
isn't more to be congratulated
than they are.
Perhaps they are even going to
profit a good deal more from hav-
ing a beautiful little human crea-
ture to love than the baby him
self will profit. At the very least,
it's an even thing. There's no
charity about adopting children,
unless you make a pretty big sac
rifice to do it. And even then,
you're sure Of big returns-in the
way Of love and adventure, and

added life. There's reciprocity in
II, always.
A normal woman has mother
emotions, and hunger for a child
toward which to direct them.
What is she to do with this extra
unsatisfied love unless, lacking
a child Of her own, she finds an
other baby to take its place?
Give Your Child Companions.
And one baby, by the way, isn't
ever enough. 1t isn't good for a
baby to be an "only" child, or for
a mother to focus all her love and
interest on one object.
But one baby is all we can at
ford" some mother who has taken
the plunge of adopting a single
orphan, will object.
Children do cost something, it is
true. There are sickness and
shoes and schooling to be taken
into account, always.
But if one cares enough for the
experience Of doing the best one
can to develop little human beings
if the love of them and the care
of them is sweet enough, one is
willing to practice whatever econo-
mics may be necessary.
Perhaps one can cut down on
house rent, or clothes, or amuse-
The Washington times., 1918-10-31
TIME world is growing kinder
to orphans.

TIME world is growing klnoer
to orphans
Nowadays it doesn't fol-
low inevitably that if your parents
are dead somebody will clip your
hair very close and put you in a
blue gingham apron and make you
an inmate of a so-called home"
that has suspiciously many Of the
features of a jail.
On the contrary, there's a very
good chance that somebody will
adopt you and give you a chance
to grow up in really human sur
roundings.
In fact, there never was a time
when it was so easy for the home
less child to break into the child
less home and to stay there as it is
now.
1t used to be the case that mar
ried couples either had children Of
their own or else remained sternly
and forlornly childless. "It's such
a risk to take in a strange child"
people had a way of saying. You
can never tell how he will turn
out"
They forgot that the same thing
is true when a child is of ones
own flesh and blood. Who knows
whether a baby will grow up to be
tall or short-a useful servant OF
his country or an idle waster?
Guarantees as to a child's future
can't possibly be issued, even If
his parents are the most sound and
praiseworthy in the world. There's
chance in it, always-whether it's
ones own blamelessly ancestored
progeny, or the nameless baby
from the orphan asylum.
This is what people with empty
homes have been learning TO re-
alize. They are coming to see that
a homeless, parentless baby isn't
an object TO inspire fear in any
body. So one by one they are let
ting down the bars, both the bars
you can see and those that you
can't, and they are deciding TO
give the orphans of the world a
chance.
Homo md Love Needed.
Warm-hearted, sensible men and
women have always known that
rigid institutional life was bad for
children. A few years ago scien-
tific people found this out, too.
They saw that living by ma
chinery. having no freedom, and
never being happy, had actually
a bad physical effect. And they
came to the conclusion that even
from a scientific standpoint, chill
dren need, not only shelter and
food and clothing, but freedom and
happiness and love.
! suppose there aren't many in

Fairfax Writes of the Problems Pitfalls of the
Especially for Washington Women

ment 1t will be worth while
Whatever it is. Scarcely any price
is too high to pay for the privi-
lege of being a parent. Ask any
wise mother or father whom you
may happen to know whether this
isn't true!
know a woman who is the
mother of a beautiful boy. No
other babies followed him, but this
woman didn't, therefore, resign
herself to being the mother Of a
single child. She knew she had
more motherhood than one child
had use for and she wasn't afraid
to take a strange child into her
home and put it on the same foot
ing with her own.
So she did this. Her own boy
and the stranger child became
brothers. But their mother felt
that she must enlarge her mother
hood still further. And life was
always revealing to her some half
cared-for boy or girl who seemed
10 need 4 home and love and all
round happy development. When
ever she found such a child, she
adopted it, until she had ten.
An Understanding Mother.
These were fortunate children.
Not alone because they were taken
into a home, but because their
mother loved and understood the
job Of motherhood and did it well.
And she wasn't afraid Of being a
mother on as large a scale as the
conditions Of her life allowed.
It's beautiful thing to see, this
eager, generous, intelligent kind
Of motherhood, that is bent on be-
ing Of service to the next genera
ton and refuses to be limited by
any withholding on the part Of the
stork. And a mother who declines
to make any distinction between
her own child and the motherlesS
one whom she has just happened
to pick up, is a mother worth hav-
ing.
Besides, mothers who have adopt
ed children know a secret that
all women don't know. 1t is that
love Of a child doesn't depend on
being its parent. That one loves
any child that is dependent on one.
That it's the easiest thing in the
world to develop a strong, real,
mother-loye for a small being
whom one never saw until a month
ago.
The type of mother who felt a
jealous dislike Of every child out
side her own family is pretty
thoroughly extinct.
The universal mother type is
taking her place.
