One Spaniard was in the water three
hours.
Jose Cano. a first class passenger
from Buenos Aires, who was rescued
BY his wife. told a correspondent Of
The Associated Press that he be-
lieved 400 persons persisted.
Through the medley of stories,
some of them almost incoherent,
poured out by the exhausted sur
v%iyors, came stories OF brilliant
heroism, Of wild panic and Of suffer
ing and terror in the darkness Of
Tuesday night.
The cause of the disaster was OBJ
scured in conflicting stories told by
those snatehed from the j<ws Of
death. Some declared that the ship
had been torn BY an explosion while
others said that the ship simply had
foundered in from four to five hours
when water swept into her through
a break in a screw shaft hold.
Some Tell of Sharks
Some, still haunted BY the terror
Of the night, told Of seeing sharks
tearing at the bodies of victims, but
others seoffed at the idea. declar-
ing they had seen no sharks.
Many OF the survivors declared
that the life boats of the Principles
sa Mafalda were in bad condition
and that some Of them shipped water
while others were swamped by the
crowds in them as they were lowered.
The Italian embassy denied that the
life saving apparatus was faulty.
All the survivors were lavish in
their praise of the crews Of the res
cue ships.

A New Administration.

With the appointment of William n.
Hariand to succeed Maurice o. Ed
ridge as traffic director of Washington,
he Commissioners have officially closed
the book on the recent traffic light
contract disclosures which have re-
suited in a practically complete stop
page of traffic activities. The new di'
rector faces a difficult and thankless
task. He will be besieged by every
manner Of person who wishes to air a
grievance against the former admin
istration or who desires, from the big
ness of his heart, to offer suggestions
concerning the proper handling of his
job. He will find great mass Of work
pertaining to signals and traffic con-
troll with which he must become thor
oughly familiar. And he will likewise
find that no matter which way he
turns or what action he takes his sup
porters will be few and his detractors
numerous.
Whatever the difficulties, however,
.he all-important problem of regulating
Washington traffic must be studied
and solved. Human lives are precious
and nothing should be left undone to
protect them in the traffic maelstrom
of today. For this reason, It Is ear.
nestly hoped that the new director and
the old director can function in har.
mony for the best interests Of the city,
Mr.. Harland to draw from Mr.. Ed
ridges two years. experience in traf-
fic control and Mr.. Eldridge to cooper
ate with vigor, so that a smooth.run.
ming and efficient system can be at
tained and maintained.
Washington will watch with interest
when the new traffic administration
gets under way. 1t wants the regime
to run smoothly and efficiently. 1t
wants the lives of its citizens protected
and it wants reasonable regulations to
provide for free movement of trans
portation. And if it gets these things
the second traffic administration of the
National Capital will find hearty sup
port from those in this city who have
the city's welfare at heart.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TR.4CEWELL.

| A popular veterinarian Is the au-
thority for the statement that ma
jority of the cases treated at the dog
and cat hospitals are simply due to
starvation.

"Starve my dog? Why, L give him
everything to eat, except meat

The dog, as well as the cat. is a car.

The consequence is that before long

sufficient food of the proper sort.
Cats, too, are the victims of the
same queer philosophy of feeding, al
though the popular mind seems more
willing to recognize that a cat ought
to have meat in its diet.
Yet not long ago we saw in news
paper some advice on feeding cats,
andmeat was made significant by its
omission. Vegetables were advised!
Now If there is anything the average
cat detests 1t Is vegetables.

potatoes. The excitement Of the
chase. besides adding natural sauce
to the cat menu, points to the true
diet.
Mice, squirrels, rabbits, chickens
these form the natural grub of the
house cat, and If he can get them he
asks nothing better. In civilization,
however, he finds many difficulties
thrown in his way, SO the owner must
make up for the lack by giving him
beefsteak, veal or salmon.
y X X *
Many dog owners have an idea that
feeding meat makes a pet fierce. Yet
there seems to be little to the idea, ex-
cept in the popular mind. Meat once
a day, raw or cooked, probably best in
alienation, is a necessity for dog
health.
The disposition of a dog depends
upon two factors, it's inherent traits
and It's treatment, with diet playing
but little part in it. Raw meat and
blood have no magic in them to make
dog fierce" They are, after all,
composed of chemical elements which
are needed by the dog in its daily life.
What makes dog "bloodthirsty" is
rather his training and the treatment
he receives at the hands of his mas
ter, especially the children in family.
Many people think that the moment
they acquire house they must get
dog, too. as a sort of duty, when in
reality they fail to give the animal the
proper care and attention.
There are many cases of dog owner.
ship which seem to call for the inter-
position of the humane societies. Some
owners Of gardens have been known
to put their dog in a kennel at the
edge of hot concrete alley, and keep
it there all Summer long, chained to
the house.
Is it any wonder that such an abused
dog bites at those who go by, espe-
cially at children. who poke sticks at
1t and otherwise torment it? And who
is there who has not seen some pup,
only a baby itself, turned over to the
tender mercies of a 3-year-old. to be

! mystery is that it lived as long as it
did.
"When a man comes to me with one
of these underfed dogs" says the
veterinarian, II ask him what he has
been feeding it, and suggest meat. Ho
invariably rebels at the suggestion. He
has been told that it gives them
worms.
"'If you had horse, l reply. how
would YOU feed it? / suppose you
would go get it a nice, big piece of
steak, or some mutton chops, and put
them down in front of it.

"'What would you give it, then?'
al would give it corn and oats
"Of course L reply. You would

long, the dog has a tract only about
one-third that length, in proportion to
the size of the animal.

beings. So give the animal plenty of

Sometimes the dog doctors do not
go to the trouble of so lecturing the
owners. 1t is amazing how many per-
sons there are whom no one can tell
anything.
They know it all
SO the astute veterinarian takes the
underfed dog as a patient" gives it
dog sized meals of nice raw meat for
a week or two. and returns the animal
to it's owner glowing with dog health.
And the owner, the doctor, and the
dog, each is tremendously pleased.

are only three foods which the cat
really likes-beefsteak, veal and sal.
mon.
~ is a curious fact that the average
cat does not relish having his beef
ground at the store. He enjoys watch
ing the process in a home grinder, but
is likely to turn up his nose at the
store ground.
A half pound of steak or veal once
a day Is not too much for lively cat,
although day. now and then, of fast
ing. will do no harm. either. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that a cat
should not be given such q quantity
Of salmon.
Many cats seem to prefer raw liver,
but such fare is not advised. Sardines
are held by some persons to be lacking
in natural Vitamins and therefore not
good for house cats. On the other
hand. the oil in which they are packed
is helpful.
Care should be taken that both dogs
and cats have plenty of clean drink
ing water, especially in the Summer.
This is often neglected. Water that
is warm from standing Is preferred.
The whole matter of the diet of dogs
and cats gets back to common sense,
after all. the keeping in mind of what
sort of creatures they really are. After
all. they are animals.
