Humanity in Trans
portation and Slaugh-
ter of Animals

Philadelphia, Oct, 1.-THE trans
portation and slaughter Of Our Food
Animals was the subject discussed
by DR.. Francis H. Rowley, President
of the American Humane Education
Society before the American HUI
name Association here today.
The fact is that so long as men
and women insist on eating meat, the
chances of the cruelties of transport
ing and slaughtering food animals
will continue in spite OF everything
humane organizations can do" DR..
Rqwley said. I'VE may be able to
modify them in some respects as we
have in the past but humanity must
either become completely civilized or
else give up eating meat altogether
before his problem can be solved.
ITO transport these food animals
and to slaughter them by thoroughly
humane means and processes would
involve expense that would make the
whole business prohibitive. We can
not get animals from the farm to
points Of slaughter. hundreds and
sometimes more than thousand
miles away, save by methods that
mean suffering to them. To take the
time 10 provide such help as would
be just and fair to them and to fur
IRISH such trains as would make pos
sible the proper feeding and watering
CT them, where they would have the
Conveniences that fair treatment
would demand, and then to slaughter
them by methods that avoids all
fright and suffering-to do this would
lie to spend far more money than any
business cooperation could ever get
out of the transaction.
Thus YOU see, humanity must be-
corae more civilized or else give up
eating meat altogether before this
problem can be solved"

LARA TIGHTENS GRIP
 OF "JAP EMPIRE

Tokio, Sept. 26.-Friends of Taka- shi Hara, Japan's Prime Minister, say that far from being oVerthrown by his political opponents. he seems ev- cry week to be getting a stronger grip upon the empire, and now stands like Clemenceau and later Briand in France and Lloyd George in Eng iand.
 At the cabinet councils he is said to impose his will like a Napoleon, and like Napoleon he sleeps but five hours a day. It is a common opln- ion among Japanese that he is the man who declines almost all import ant issues coming before the cabinet, other ministers merely serving as his secretaries, so autOcrat1c Is he Tn the handling of the government affairs Japanese attribute his domination Of his cabinet to his indomitab1e will power and political sagacfty or clev- erness. He always keep his plans to himself and very few of his ministers or close associates know anything about his intended move until the last moment.
 Reporters find Hara a hard man to interview He is gracious enough, but his flashes of humor disturb them. Some of them tried to get him to talk about the Washington confer ence the other day. He spared for a while and then added: Now lets stop talking shop. I don't like to talk every day about such dry sub jects. I feel in heaven only when l return to this native city of mlne.' This was a reference to Norfolk where he was visiting.
 How about my health? It's fine, if only get five hours sleep, which is hard enough to get these days. Mrs Hara? She has recivered-may be because she has stopped smoking.
