"Under these conditions I think
it Is best not to discuss the subject"
When asked for an opinion on eat
ing cat meat. Arthur Baker, assistant
superintendent of the Zoo. said to-
day:
There Is no reason why the flesh
should not be Eoou; the only thing
that Is necessary is to get rid of the
scent glands, in order to prevent the
meat from becoming tainted. For
some time We have been feeding the
animals here at the Zoo on horse
flesh, with very satisfactory results.
In all probability the meat OF the cat
would be just as good for food as
that OF almost any other animal"
John p. Heap, superintendent of
the Humane Society. said:
ITO my mind, il Is against the law
Of morals. and I believe that anyone
who would want to do II could hardly

"Of course, as far as cruelty is con-

EXPLAINS
3 REAL NEEDS OF
us. TO WIN WAR

Three things are all-essential to
enable the United States to throw
into the balance the effort that will
win the war, SwagRr Sherley OF Ken
lucky. chairman OF the House Appro-
priatIons Committee, told the House
today. They are transportation,
storage, and shipping. he said.
Congressman Sherley took the floor
to deliver his first speech as chair
man Of the Appropriations Commit
tee, presenting to the House the
record-breaking billion dollar urgent
deficiency bill. He spoke an hour
and a half. explaining the bill in de-
tail to members OF the House
On the basis Of the gigantic appro-
priations his committee was asked to
make. he said. he could have inaugur-
ated an investigation Of practically
every department of the Government.
He did not undertake so sweeping an
investigation. he explained. because the
appropriations asked for were urgently
needed and such a probe would have
held them up two or three months.
Explains Crucial Needs.
Therefore. do not attempt to attack
or to defend the Administration I'm its
prosecution OF the war" Mr.. Sherley
said.
II come to tell you only what the Gov
ernmsnts pust have. From the survey
my committee has made am con-
WINGED that our success in providing
three things will measure our success
In the war. Shipping We all know is the
first essential; transportation is the sec
ond. and storage is only a little less i'm
portant"
His committee had been asked for no
appropriations either for transportation
or shipping, Mr.. Sheriey said. but It had
been asked for enormous sums for stor-
age facilities in this country. All that
had been asked was given, he said, and
he hoped the House would not allow the
Sl00.OOo.0OO appropriation for this pur-
pose TO be altered.
wOrkIeSs Day Being Placed.
The strange appropriations carried
In the bill would provide facilities
for storing all the war materials this
country is now producing for thirty
DAYS a 1.-THE sea coast and for six
months inland, Mr.. Sherley explained
Had such facilities previously been
provided there would have been no
necessity for Mr.. Garfield's program
Of worthless days" nor would rail-
