CALSWORTHY PRAISES Us AS HUMANE NATION,
But DEPLORES THOUCHTLESS CAGING OF ANIMALS

After telling OF seeing raccoons
chained, bobcats Gagged and eagles
cooped on the grounds Of Western
hotels, he continued:
"An American lady told me re-
Gently that her tour had been spoil
ed by the sight of SO many wild ami
mails and wild birds kept in captiv-
ity. 1t is queer that it is the inter-
est and curiosity concerning wild
animals that leads to this cruelty.
Perhaps one shouldn't say cruelty,
because cruelty, like murder, i'm
plies intention, and there is certain
ly no intention to be cruel in such
cases. They are the result of simple
thoughtlessness and lack of imagi-
nation, but they are none the less
torture for the wild bird or wild
animal.
1T isn't, 1 suppose, for an Eng
lishman to appeal to Americans to
abate an abuse, especially when
there are so many British abuses
that require abatement. But, after
ALL the treatment of animals is q
universal question, and I am sure
that any animal lover in England
would welcome an appeal from Am
erican visitors to abate an abuse to
animals in England.
Freedom to wild animals or birds
is the breath of life. To deprive
them of that freedom is a dreadful
thing. 1t means a slow death for
them"
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

John Galsworthy, the English nov
elist and playwright, praised Ameri-
cans in a speech from WEAF Sun
dav afternoon as in general the most
humane of nations in the treatment
of animals. but he deplored the
Dractice, which he said was prevail
ent in the West, of caging birds ana
animals for exhibition purposes.
"On the whole" he said, Il shoulu
say that America stands first IN the
treatment of animals. l cannot even
make an exception in favor OF my
own country, though of course l
know my own country very well
and America perhaps not Wen
enough. Now, this is fine feather
in the American cap, for the treat
ment of animals is the sure gauge
OF national character.
''It is easy for foreigner speak
ing of the customs of another coun-
try to give offense. 1t is especially
easy for Englishmen to give odense
to Americans. With extreme d1t1-
dence. therefore. draw attention to
the only fly that 1 personally nave
seen in the ointment. This is the
custom of caging live birds and live
animals and keeping them Gagged or
chained I'D as a show. am not
speaking of ZOOS. There is much TO
be said against ZOOS, but l am
speaking of the caging of animals
as a private enterprise"

HOGS ARE CHEAPER
BUT WEIGH HEAVIER
California Spring Lamb Is Lower
Than 1t Was Last Year. Cattle
Prices Hold, However.

Live stock prices are not salts
factory to farmers, as was expected
some time ago. Cattle and lamb
prices are working lower and hogs
are irregular, recovering the loss OF
the previous week and closing well
toward the best level. The average
for hogs for the week of $12.05 was
35 cents better than the previous
and S1.2O lower than a year ago.
TOP prices were $3.50 and they
closed the same as a week ago.
While hogs are selling lower the
fact that they are weighing around
25O pounds, II to 20 pounds more
than last year, counts in favor of
the farmer, owing to the increased
weight which, in a measure, makes
up for the difference in prices. AT
the same time packers are securing
more product by slaughtering fewer
hogs
Cattle prices regained part of last
weeks break only to weaken again,
although the dressed beef trade was
better. Top prices on heavy steers
were $1O.75, yearlings $1O.6O and
fancy yearling heifers $10.25. The
average of beef steers was $9.45
against $3.50 the previous week and
S1O.25 last year. Butchers stock
declined 25 cents and calves 81,
with feed steers 25 cents lower.
California Spring lambs were on
the market at $3.50 for 65-pOund
weights, against $17 last year. The
top of fat lambs was $14.25 and
average $3.50, or so cents advance
for the week and $1.55 under last
year. Sheep averaged $8.15, gaining
Is cents and compared with $7.75
last year.
The weeks receipts of live stock
were larger than the previous week,
and with exception of hogs exceeded
last year. Estimated receipts at
Chicago for this week are: Cattle,
$4,000; hogs, 125,OO0; sheep, $4,000,
or about the same as last year.

Brown Eyes Outlast Blue
by Excluding Ligil-

Other factors being equal, brown
eyes are less liable to give trouble
than blue. according to a western
specialist, for the dark irises act as
curtains, shutting out light and thus
protecting the nerves and inner struc-
lures. Blue eyes, he declares, are
more often the exception to the rule
that a normal eye will not need glasses
until the person is forty-fve years old.
Special illuminating devices and
gauges enable oculists to examine pa
tients much more accurately than was
possible simply by testing the vision
with printed cards. They have in
stwments which also permit inspec-
ton of the interior of the eye for
traces of disease or approaching cata-
racts.
