Vivisection.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The bill introduced by Senator Ny
ers to prevent vivisection and ex-
periments upon dogs in the District
of Columbia. etc, is fine. as far as 1t
goes, but such a law would not pre-
vent government officials from con-
Quoting such experiments in Mary
land and Virginia as suspected now.
1t has recently become public that
such experiments were made upon
dogs during the war-now happily
discontinued under the War Depart
ment by order Of the highest author
ity.
The bill should contain a clause to
prevent the use of any appropria-
ton for vivisection or incubation
of dogs Scientists who are willing
to torture the most faithful and af-
fectionate beings (dogs) in the al
legged interests of science, should ex-
pertinent on one another sometimes.

keokuk Basket Tossers Make Good
start and Show Up In Good
Shape AGAINST Hannibal
In First Game.

The Keokuk "Y" basketball team
played their opening game of the
season at Hannibal Saturday night,
clashing with the fast "Y' team of
that city. Although they came home
with the little end Of the score, they
are not at all discouraged over their
future. Hannibal won the game by
the final score of &c to 24-not q
bad start at all. when it is consid-
cred that the local men have never
had an opportunity to practice to-
gether vet this season, and practi-
cally all new men on the squad at
that. while the Hannibal team has
been organized for some time. At the
end Of the first half the score stood
IA to II. in Keoluk's favor. and gave
promise of remaining in their favor
until one of the local men was dis
qualified for roughing. This hardly
seemed Justified inasmuch as foul
was called on his Hannibal opponent,
and in that case the referee admitted
that both men were roughing it and
a personal foul should have been
called on each Of them or both play
ers should have been put out OF the
game.
The men that PLAYED on the local
'rY" team were the following: Becker,
center: jenkins and Venning. for
wards; Wolf, Mandt and X. Klann,
guards.
