bile traffic that fills our streets, espe- cially i'll the business sections.
 ''It is an almost daily occurrence to see dead horse or two on the New York streets, and I lave seen such carcasscs laying around almost in state of de- composition. Such things are far from an aid to public health"
 Dr. Lieb would go after the filthy disease-spreading rats with rat squads armed with the most effective of extermi- nants. He would try to prevent rats from landing of ships and place a bounty on their heads to spur public interest in eXterminating them.
 To state the proposition in few words, D: Lieb would rid cities from all four-legged animals and would ban one two-legged creature-the pigeon.
 "The pigeon" he says, lis dirty thing that besmirches our parks and practically every city building. In Venice pigeons are something of an institution and are tolerated for reasons of senti- ment, but we have no such excuse for allowing them to disfigure our most beautiful structures and add to the great and unwholesome total of animal filth that is blown about the streets and breathed into human threats and lungs.
 "One public health official has eati- mated that fully 80 per cent of the dust that is whisked around in the air of our cities is animal filth full of all kinds of bacteria dangerous to human health. I believe this is true There is, to get back to pigeons, form of bird tuber- culosis and there is no proof that the disease is not transmitted to man."
 In an article recently published in the "New York Medical Week." Dr. Lieb stated his conviction that something should be done to rid New York and the thickly populated areas around it of the menace of animal filth.
 If human welfare is of primary i'm porance in present-day methods of pre- ventive medicine, there is much to De said i'll favor of expelling all fourfooted animals in New York;" this article be- gan, and he got immediately to the job of explaining the dog menace
 He made little of the wakeful nights that dogs bayine at the moon cause many citizens, or of the 4,000 New Workers who were bitten by dogs in six months time, but he emphatically ob- jected to the animal filth distributed lon the sidewalks of New York k-East Side, West Side and all around the town"
 Dr. Lieb fully realizes the tremendous difficulty of convincing millions of city dwellers that their pets are serious

menace to the public health and securing the legislation necessary to limit every city's population to human beings and birds. But he IS sure that the danger ere ated by the presence of animals in our congested areas justities such crusade.
 Albert Payson Terhune, the famous writer of dog stories and breeder of blue-blooded collies, would not go so far as to bar all dogs from cities, but he does think that :. city is no fit place for large dog, He will not knowingly sell dog from his kennels to anybody who plans to give 1t city home.
 There is in New York City" says Dr. Lieb, "a haven for stray animals which was, of course, established with the bes. of intentions. Lost pedigreed dogs and CUTS of every hue and breed are taken there to be washed and fed and pro- tected from harm. Hundreds of nomadic cats are likewise taken there to live a happy existence with fellow felines.
 "l suppose that the milk of human kindness started and operates this haven. l do not like to see dumb animals suffer either, but l believe that it would he much better for the cats and dogs, and worthwhile saving of money, to put these creatures out of the way. They are doing no one any good. Such con servation of life in New York and other cities IS, to my mind, misplaced ssnti. ment."
 The doctor appreciates that childre, lnstlnctively love the household nets that he would bar from our large cities and that they would, for a time miss having such animals around. His suy- geston is that cities set off q snaca ;r public parks where dogs, cats and even horses can be comfortably housed, just as Wild animals are kept n zoos to-day
 rHe would have the various breeds of dogs and cats, too, on exhibit "These animals are especially interesting be. cause they have come into closer co,,- panonship with man than any other of the beasts" says Dr. Leb. "It is i, way. unfortunate that the modern metropolis is no place for them, but if isn't
 Public health is a serious busires. and in places where thousands and thou. sands of people live and work in a com. paratively small area everything possible should be done to make life safe and clean believe the time has arrived in New York and other cities when disease carrying animals and the unhealthy filth they leave around should be ruled out V

 "Thc horse e-drawn vehicle is the one weak spot in the troublous and increas- ing traffic problems in the bil city. It might work hardship on a few people to bar horses from congested urban areas, but every move for the good of the greatest number is an inconvenience to some one.

 As for the horse, pr, Lieb includes him in the blacklist With d feeling of sympathy, for he ap- prcciates that the horse did a great deal of the hard work of America before the automobile became a practical means of transportation and since.

 'I dare say that the money spent on dogs and cats in New York City in single year would be more than enough to build and support for some time 2,0O0-bed children's hospital"
 Dr. Leb regards the cats as every bit as undesirable as the dogs, and is all for barring them from every urban area. "As for being necessary to catch rats and mice" the doctor argues, "I think one good rat trap would do the work of
