SHALL PET DOGS
FEAST AS CHILDREN
PLEAD FOR FOOD?

Oklahoma City, Feb. 2.-"Shall
pet dogs live in luxury while chill
dren starve?" c. II. Russell, coun-
ty food administrator, asked last
night.
Fright here in Oklahoma City
there are hundreds of men and
women who feed their dogs food
that is better than as many more
children have" he declared.
This should not be. With the
present scarcity Of bread and meat
no one should cut half a loaf of
bread and cover it with cream
gravy for a dog" said Russell.
"Yet this very thing is being done
in hundreds of cases.
'Now is the time to dispose Of
the animals before conditions
reach the point they have in Ger
many, where dogs cats and all
other pets have been ordered
killed to conserve the food sup
ply"
