Humane Society Extends
Work to Child, Asks Aid

The Washington Humane Society,
which has broadAned its activities
to include protection Of children as
well as animals, Is asking dona-
tions from those who are interested
in having the society successfully
carry on Its work. The society has
no public funds to draw upon, de-
pending entirely upon membership
dues and donations.
The appeal in part says. IF we
look back over the past few years,
we find thousands of horses doing
their full part, and more. towards
winning the great world war. The
sufferings of the animals that were
MANNED and slaughtered in the
cause of liberty and humanity is an
UNIV Sritten page. so full of harrow
ing details that perhaps 1t is just
as well it has not been fully re-
corded.
Dogs. too. were utilized to help
win the war. Besides the work
they were trained to perform in
trench and field abroad. thousa nds
of dogs were destroyed here at
home in the experimental camps
where poison gases were tested. At
Camp Leach. near Washington.
great numbers of dogs were sub
jected to torture in these expe i
ments
There is no Red Cross for the
fallen animal which has done its
bit; no public hospital or home for
the decrepit or abandoned horse or
dog to find shelter or protection.
1t is to assist in its work of pro-
tecting these helpless creatures

tions. Donations should be sent to

OF DEATH CAR
Killing of Aged Man Partly
Due to Autoist's S Neglect,
Jury Says.

A note of warning to careless au-
tomobilists who pass street cars
halted to discharge and take on pas
sengers at crossings. was sounded
by a Coroner's jury in a hearing at
the morgue yesterday afternoon.
The case was that OF Alexander B.
Walters, aged 81, OF 6l3 Otis street.
who was run down and killed by an
auto at Georgia avenue and Newton
street, Tuesday night. The jurors
rendered verdict of accidental
death, due in part TO a lack Of care
on the part OF the driver OF the au-
tomobile. in that more care should
be used in passing street cars in
dark or poorly lighted places"
Witnesses testified that Wilson after
seeing the form of Walters loom up
before him in the mist tried to avoid
hitting him and steered his machine
towards the street car. colliding with
the latter his car skidding and the
rear wheels striking Walters. 1t was
also said that Georgia avenue and
the intersecting streets In that local
ity are poorly lighted, and that the
