Mr.. Kirby announced that pre-

No fixed goal has been set, he said,
but it will be the aim of college
men to raise 100000 or one fourth
OF the amount required to send the
American athletes abroad for the
international games. Already $4,000
has been pledged, Mr. Kirby said.
At the request of Major General

Kirby has accepted the Craftsmanship

Since the colleges contributed sc
per cent of the 1924 Olympic athletic
talent, Mr.. Kirby pointed out, it seems
altogether appropriate for them to
contribute as much financially as
possible Some 460 institutions in

Cruelty to Animals

The conviction by Judge Mattinclv OF
a local resident on charge of cruelty
To animals comes as welcome news to
all lovers of domestic animals. There
is such thing as law against cruelty
to animals in the District of Columbia.
No one has right to maltreat them.
Since they cannot speak. however.
these pets of mankind must find cham
pions. If they are made to suffer.
their suffering is none the less because
they cannot so to a precinct station
and swear out warrant against the
offender.
Thus A human champion must rise,
in each such case. TO do battle for the
hurt animals. Those who have the
time and money to give to this work
are to be congratulated. The private
citizen who sees a neighbor dash a
cats brains out against tree has re-
course to the law--if he is a fighter.
1t may be pointed out that following
through all such cases not only seeks
to render justice unto dumb things.
but also does great deal toward pro-
tecting human beings.
Cruelty is cruelty. whether to ami
mails or human beings. The man who
feeds his evil spirit on the suffering
OF dog or cat will thus build up his
spleen to the overfiowing point, whence

champion of animals. but also as a
modern knight in defense of decency

flying, Bonney attempted by the use
Of gulls' wings as models to design his
plane so that the wings could be turned

undercarriage touched the ground.
Similarly, the wings assumed sharp
curves in order to promote a steep

This is one of the most uncomfort-

is to Immediately shut the eyes and
