Replies to Attack
On Vicious" Dogs
Editor, Times:

Editor, Times:
The letter signed Philip
Ebert" and which appeared in
your columns of April 3, was,
in it's condemnation of the dog,
the most narrow-minded and
illogical attack conceivable on
the noble character of mans
best friend. Mr.. Ebert's in
human suggestion that vivisec-
tion should be increasingly
practiced as a means of ex-
terminating the public men
ace" must arouse the righteous
indignation of all true dog
lovers.
Mr.. Ebert damned the dog
on the specious argument that
he is often deliberately trained
to snap and bite. From the
unfortunate fact that his chill
dren have been bitten, he de-
duces that all dogs are vicious
and dangerous and a public
menace. Finally, he condemns
the dog on the theory that he
is unclean and a carrier of dis
ease.
Obviously Mr.. Ebert does not
understand dogs and is bitterly
prejudiced against them be-
cause his children were so un'
fortunate as to have been bit
ten.
AS child and adult I have
known and owned many dogs,
yet the few vicious CANNES I
have encountered were made
vicious by some mans \ inhu-
manity. It is not inherently
dog nature to snap and bite at
man, provided the dog is
treated humanely and under

be suffering the agony of

It was a letter from a young
wife about husbands. Her hus-
band in particular. She said
that American mothers train
their boys to be good sons
And successful busin esS
BUT THEY DO NOT TRAIN
THEIR BOYS TO BE HUS-
BANDS.
We snickered. Printed it.
Waited for the explosion. Here
it is.
Dear Miss Robinson:
What's this big idea about
"boys being raised to be hus-
bands? Isn't a man doing
enough when he brings home
the bacon as a doctor, lawyer,
hod-carrier or what not, with
out also expecting him to do
the household chores as well?
Yet, that is exactly what is ex-
pected of the average husband.
Here's what the usual American
does before he goes to his

bite a human being. In the
eyes of the dog, man is both
friend and God. The chances
are that Mr.. Ebert's children
were, when bitten, in some
manner annoying the dog at a
time when he should not have
been molested. Moral: Teach
your children to let a dog
alone when eating, sleeping, or
acting as the guardian of prop
erty. Most dogs are, normally,
better hammered and more good
natured, than the majority Of
children.
And is the dog such an insidi-
Gus menace to health as he is
painted by Mr.. Ebert? For
centuries men and dogs have
been inseparable companions;
men have died for their dogs
and hero-dogs have died for
their masters; yet how many
cases of serious disease can be
traced to the canine pet of
some adoring child?
And what about the germ
carrying nature of some hu-
mans? Is a dirty dog any
dirtier or likelier to bear and
spread disease than a dirty
child? If all parents kept
their children as sanitary as
they would like all dogs to be,
there might be less room for
criticism.

OratOry Is No Natural Gift
Like many others at times
you have wished you might be
able to make a good public
speech.
After listening to easy. elo-
quent speakers you have termed
their talent that way as a
natural gift.
The man who uses words Of
Just the right shade Of mean
ing has had to write and re-
write his talk many times.
He has had to study his sub
ject carefully to know exactly
how to express himself.
Then he must revise and per-
feet his production, eliminate
unnecessary words and whip it
into a natural sequence.
The whole must be studied
till he is able to repeat it
letter perfect.
He must be able to speak from
headings in the phraseology
chosen.
He might wander from his
draft, but his mind must have
a clear conception Of what he
desires to say and how he wants
to say it without confusion.
If you are unwilling to make
such a careful preparation as
her indicated and try to trust
to luck and the occasion to in
Spire you you will never be a
good pubic speaker. It is q
worthy accomplishment, but

SON NOT
TO CONTEST ENTIRE
WILL OF INVENTOR
Says He Will Challenge on That
Section Relating to Be-
quest to Him

Wilmington, DEL, Oct. 3l-(P)-Wil-
liam L. Edison who announced here
Friday he would contest the will of
his father. Thomas A. Edison, said
Saturday that he would not attack
the entire instrument.
Edison, one Of two sons by the in
ventor's first wife who died In 1884,
said he would contest only that pro-
vision relating to the handling and
distribution of the bequest left to
him.
In formal statement Friday, Edi-
son characterized the will as unfair" "
and charged undue influence had been
brought to bear by his step-mother
and his half brother, Charles.
In his statement Saturday Edison
also said some reports concerning the
matter that have been attributed to
him had not been made or authorized
by him.
Il wish to emphasize the fact" said
Edison. that have made no state
ment other than the one given to the
press yesterday. Such statements
quoted in papers this morning with
figures or stated amounts are abso-
lutely unauthorized and untrue.
II have no intention Of breaking
the entire will of my father, but do
object to those provisions as to the
handling and distribution of the
amount left to me"
Edison had nothing to say as to de-
tails Of his proposed action or when
he would make a definite move.
