author also had Incorporated in the
book elaborate descriptions of the
former Post ONCE building at 7th

CATS AND DOGS STARVE

Complaints to Humane So

Humane societies are receiving
many complaints that persons who
have left the city on vacations for
got to make provision for the care of
domestic pets. with resulting suffer-
ing Tor the animals thus deserted and
annoyance to neighbors forced to
listen to the walls, according to a
bulletin issued today by the Wash
ington Humane Society.
Cats appear to be the subject Of
most of this forgetfulness. it is re-
ported. The society arraigns per-
sons who make merry at the seashore
and summer resorts while their pets
are left on "a vacation without food
or drink"
1t is pointed out that dogs. given
free access to water, can stand the hot
weather as well as can human beings.
They need water even more often
than do their masters, it is declared,
because they perspire from their
tongues instead Of from all over their
skins.
The bulletin calls attention to the
havoc wrought at this time of the
year by persons who kill birds "for
sport" leaving, perhaps, a nest OF
young birds to die from starvation.
1t is stated, further, that there is
mo business, except the slaughtering
business, which involves more cruelty
than training animals for public ex-
hibitions."

Appropriate administrative agency.
large and long term credits could
be secured under governmental aus
pices and used under governmental

He contended that among the i'm
mediate advantages of such a plan
would be the increase Of productive
efficiency Of employees with de-
crease of labor costs and without
cutting wages, reduction IN
freight and passenger rate, an in
crease in net earnings, and the plac-
ing of railroad securities on per-
manently sound basis.
Mr.. Lauck approved the present
transportation act. but suggested It
should be extended with a view to
subordinating the existing financial
control of carriers to the public in
terest by placing the transportation
industry upon a cost of service
