Veterans Back Criticism
Of NeuO Deal

To the Editor Of The Times:
Now that H. L. Mencken has
spoken-and left not the slightest
opening for a reply-it only re-
mains for the veterans to add
to the bitterly cynical chorus re-
garding the New Deal.
The ex-service men have been
voted a bonus payment that they
can't use. No matter how strait
ened their circumstanceS-and
thousands of them have little
children that are often crying
for adequate food-they must
wait month after month for the
malevolent Veterans Administra-
ton to do the paper work neces-
sary to the distribution of the
bonds. Many thousand veterans
who need the money in the early
spring for the purpose of putting
in a small truck garden in order
to augment the family income,
will not be able to do this essen.
tial first aid. BY the time an
other spring comes around many
veterans will find the small sum
given them dissipated in the pay
ment Of rent, grocery bills and
for needed clothing. Absolutely
nothing will have been accom-
phshed with the money that
would have been a godsend if i'm
mediately available. The checks
for the farmers of the South and
the West will have been sent out
many months before the vet
erans-who have waited three
yearS-will have received their
bonds.

Cites Medical Progress
Due To ViUisectiOn
To the Editor Of The Timea:

To the Editor Of The Times:
Having seen the article against
vivisection, may I hope that this
insignificant article be published
in reply. For years there has
been controversy about vivisection.
The Senate body has investigated
the many charges that have been
laid against the numerous activi-
ties engaged in this so-called NAL
practise Of using dumb animals
for experiments for the benefit OF
mankind.
AS I see it, If you, or one Of your
loved ones were to be admitted to
any hospital, or go to any doctor.
with any ailment you would ex-
pect the best care and treatment
known to medical science and
those engaged in that profession
could give you. Where was this
knowledge of treatment obtained?
Do you stop and ask this disciple
Of Hippocrates g. to whether he
has ever practiced vivisection, II
he has, do you refuse his treat
ment?
How was the circulation Of the
blood in the human body diScov-
cred? Upon what basis did Pas
teur base his discoveries? Would
it have been all fitting and proper
to have experimental upon human
being instead II the animals as
he did to bring about the bene-
fits that to date are extended to
all mankind?
You raise your voice against
the use of dogs for experimental
purposes. In my sight this is
but a wedge to be used against
the use of all animals once that
law be passed. If this were to
happen, what would we do today
against rabies, pneumonia, scarlet
fever, smallpox, diphtheria, ty-
phoid, tapeworms, small worms,
etc. Therefore, I say, If you
were afflicted with the above
mentioned diseases Cor many
others) would you be willing to
take the treatment as prescribed
years ago, before vivisection was
practiced or would you rather
take the treatment that has re-
suited from such practice?

Opposes Blanketing
Into Civil Service

To the Editor Of The Times:
I cannot understand why the
idea should be considered Of
blanketing into Civil Service all
employees Of the Government with
out first giving them some sort
of test. It is certainly the most
unfair procedure can think Of,
and most certainly makes a farce
of Civil Service.
There are q number of people
on the Government pay rolls who
have taken Civil Service tests
noncompetitive and otherwise
who have failed to pass. Yet
under this ruling these same
people would easily slide into the
service. If an examination were
given no doubt a good many un
deSirables would be eliminated.

The Cost of Food.

A table Of comparative food costs
recently issued by the Department Of
Agriculture discloses interesting facts.
For instance, a group Of SO foods
In 1918 cost the consumer 1882. while
last year the same group and quantity
cost 1881, an increase Of s7s. OF this
increase, the farmer received 81 and
the transportation, processing and
other distributing costs took up $75.
The low mark came in 1882 so far
as the farmer was concerned when he
received but $s8 out of s270. Since
1882, the cost has risen to 1891 out
Of which the farmer receives $l38.

Just what that article meant 10 me
and wish I could thank you so
you would fully realize Just how
sincere am.
ITO me 1t Is a marvellous thing that
you wrote so beautifully Of Lizzie
after she had left us for so many
years.
"Her last manager, Mr.. Henry Saw
age, had a standing order to send
flowers to me, to be placed on her
grave on the anniversary Of her pass
ing, August IL, and that was kept up
for 10 years, when he was taken very
Ill and never regained his health, and
he passed away in a few years.
"Mr. Savage told my father that he
had lost the best counsellor he had
had In any Of his companies, said they
would all listen to her and abide by
her decision, as she was so very Just to
every member of the company.
please forgive me If I have taken
so much of your time when I well
know what busy man you are. But
this letter really spells gratefulness.
Thank you again for your tribute
to my sister Lizzie.
II am, most sincerely,
MARIE MACNICHOL RICHMOND" :"
Mr.. Bergman, after hearing this
letter read, vouched for the statement
that he appeared on the same program
with Mrs. Richmond, and says the
occasion was an entertainment at the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, in October,
1897, when he gave one Of his we'll
known illustrated lectures on the out
standing political men Of that period.
He says 1t was his first appearance as
a public speaker. and that, being
aware Of this fact. the Rev. Shera
Montgomery, the last pastor assigned
to this old church, invited him to give
similar address on the occasion Of
the last meeting in that historic edifice
few years ago. He was glad to say
he remembered Mrs. Richmond-then
Miss Macnichol-with a great deal of
| pleasure.

Richmond's letter Is In regard to the
writer's story published in The Star
Of July u, last, about the Central
Union Mission, in which her sister,
Lizzie Macnichol, Is mentioned, and
Is so beautifully expressed that the
liberty is being taken Of using 1t in
these columns. It follows:
my dear Mr.. Proctor:
st have Just received copies Of the
article you wrote in The Star Of
last Sunday, in fact two very dear
friends Of mine and my sister sent
them.
"I wish you could know Of the Joy,
mixed with sadness, that the article
gave me. What an unusual expert
ence in this day and generation
that you remembered my sister, Lizzie
Macnichol, after she had passed away
81 years ago.
What a very lovely and generous
gesture it was for you to write so
feelingly about her.
"Oh, how thrilled she would be to
know that others, beside her relatives,
remembered her. She often would
remark, oh, how soon we are for
gotten
"She, truly, was very unusual
woman and you can we'll imagine
my surprise and amazement when
I came here four years ago to live
to meet some musical people who
were very fond Of her and never
missed seeing her in any new opera.
and they say they have never found
any singer to take her place with
them. They treasure letters Of hers,
thanking them for flowers, and they
never met her-but they would always
tell her where they were sitting and
she would smile or give some sign
that she saw them-very pathetic.
I'VE always spelled the name Mac
nichol that way. When our grand
father Macnichol came over from
Scotland he divided it, making it
'MacNichol,' which nephew, Walter
Macnichol Of Washington, does also.
Am just wondering if you would
be interested in knowing that when
Lizzie sang in Rob Roy" all her
costumes were made from the Mac
nichol plaid.
In former years have always en-
joyed your articles immensely and
have missed being a reader of The
Star since living here.
IT FEEL very proud to think I made
my debut as singer the same
time and on the same program as
that most delightful Of all persons,
Mr.. Clifford K. Bergman, and among
my great treasures is a cartoon made
especially for me when sang later
on in my life when he was the big
box Office attraction.

Wild Fowl Increase.

THE efforts to restore the wild fowl
of the country to something like nor
NAL numbers is making progress but
despite the gains noted this year,
they have been insufficient to bring
any relaxation of the strict control
measures which hold the ruthless
hunter in check
DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief Of the
Biological Survey, in recent address
at Chicago, III, before the nlinoI
Sportsmen's Association, urged con-
tinued stringent restrictions for sew
eral years on the hunting Of ducA
and geese. He said this year is the
first time estimates by the Biological
Survey have shown an increase ovei
the previous year in the number Of
birds returning to their northern nest
ing grounds. Other estimates madt
by conservation organizations and In
terested groups agree substantially
with those of the survey.
The drastic restrictions put into
force last year," explained DR.. Gabriel
son, were intended to cut down the
kill by hunters, and they accomplished
that purpose. Only by restricting the
kill will we be able to send more bird
back each year to our newly created
breeding grounds and to the Canadian
areas where breeding birds are still
deficient.
I'VE have a fair chance of re-
storing the migratory waterfowl f1igh
to great numbers If the hunters vii
be sporbsmen enough to stand for I,

at least, and give the bureau {,
