Urging more humanity toward dogs
the greatest friend Of man in the ami

Myers bill as the first step to do away
with the "cruel torture of vivisec-

written a letter to James p. Briggs,
president of the Humane Education
Society, telling of the wonders she
had seen dogs perform in the late
war and appealing for their protec-
ton.
In her letter Miss Janis said:

had said: Our income is not sufficient,
therefore we cannot raise the needed
money by taxation. and that is our
only resource Germany would have
won the war.
America. however, took no such at
