CLUB OPPOSES
PEACE BONDS

CHEVY CHASE, Md, Jan. 16.
After hearing talks both for and
against the sale and purchase of
the so-called peace bonds" being
sold by the National Council for
the Prevention of war, members
of the Chevy Chase Women'S
Club went on record last night
as unanimously favoring peace
but opposing the purchase OF
these bonds.
Frederick J. Libby, executive
secretary of the council, explained
why his organization is offering
the bonds for sale and what the
funds will be used for.
George K. Broebeck, national
legislative representative OF the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, gave
the membership the other side
of the question.
Mr.. Libby declared his council
is a middle-of-the-road organiza,
ton which asks the people to de,
mand peace with votes. This or,
ganization is based on American
principles in which some 80 or
CARNATIONS concur, he added.
Mr.. Broebeck then declared:

must have adequate national de-

Survey, spoke on conservation OF
wild life and game.

nominating committee to prepare
a slate of officers for election at

ADVICE GIVEN
ON BREEDING
OF DOGS
BY DIR. MILTON A. BOSLEY,
ID. V. NJ.

Today I will make a few OBJ
Servations concerning the breed
ing of dogs, The basic principle
Of breeding is, in my opinion,
blood will tell" 1t is certainly
a well known fact that parents
transmit to the offspring their
own qualities, either good or bad,
and so it follows that we should
attempt to mate two parents so
that the puppies are born with
fewest defects.
1t is possible to determine in
a general way the transmission
OF characteristics. More often
the general appearance and ply
steal qualities of the sire will
dominate the litter while the
mother gives the mental traits
and personality.
Proper mating should be the
the goal of every breeder. Some
times four or even five different
matings are necessary before OBJ
tanning the ideal results. Blood
lines as I have said are most i'm
portant, but alone cannot be sat-
iSfactory. There are three divi.
sions of breeding. Inbreeding,
line breeding, and cross-breeding.
Cross breeding usually produces
new qualities while inbreeding,
that is the breeding of dogs close
ly related, perpetuateS either the
defects or virtues of the parents,
while line breeding, the breeding
OF animals descended from the
same line of blood, continues to
produce the same general char
acteriStics of that line.
In conclusion let me say that if
one is not an experienced breeder
of dogs he should by all means
consult his veterinarian both as
to the physical condition of his
dogs and also for suggestions as
how better to care for the mother
before she is due to whelp. Spe-
cial attention and often a change
in diet are advisable at this time
and after the puppies are born,

CHIEF JAMES DAVIS
MAKES SOME POINTS

Police Chief James f. Davis, Los
Angeles, in a talk before a meeting
sponsored by the Ell Centre Lions club,
called his shots with accuracy which
would do him credit on the target range,
where he is known as an expert marks
man.
Coddling of prisoners in state peni-
tentiaries must cease if criminals are to
be filled with proper respect for the
law, Chief Davis declared-and he cited
facts it would be hard to argue against.
To the layman it is startling knowledge
that the average murderer, who stands
before the court to hear himself SEN
fenced to life" in prison, actually
serves an average term of seven years
before he is returned again to society.
1t is little less startling that the aver
age prison term for all classes Of Of
tenders is three years.
Stop coddling criminals! Put them
to work. That is the advice of Chief
Davis. and sound advice it seems to be.
His plan would not only make prison
far less attractive place, but would re
duce the tax burden considerably. He
advises creation of road gangs, suggest
ing tentatively that they might be put
to work on two highway routes through
the High Sierras, opening up natural
wonderland to the public.
Road gangs need not arouse so-called
prison reformers to fear and trembling
for the safety and comfort of the enc
mics of society, the chief contends. 1t
is such books as one published several
years ago, dealing with an escaped con-
vict from a road gang, which gives the
general idea that the gangs are instru-
ments of brutality, Chief Davis added.
Drawing upon his "a years experience
as a peace officer, he declared that road
gangs seldom are operated brutally. He
described the book in question as propa-
ganda in favor of lawlessness.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-06-25
GIVE THE POLICE
AN EVEN BREAK

Coddling of criminals, the Los An
geles police head pointed out, Is not
confirmed to professional reformers, but
often results from political motive or
public misunderstanding generated by
Misrepresentation of facts. He cited an
enlightening case.
Los Angeles police one night sur
prised a gangster in the act of house
breaking. At the command Of officers
to surrender, he raised the gun instead.
He was shot and killed by police trained
in the expert use of firearms. Next day
political enemies raised the cry official
murder" charging that the police LAY
in wait and never gave the man a
chance"
They did give him a chance-but
what if they had not? Sneaking through
the night, ready to take the life OF an
innocent person to preserve the liberty
upon which he was trespassing, the
gangster had placed his life IN forfeit
when he planned his crime.
Who is to blame? Partly, the blame
is on the soft headed prison reformers
who, living protected lives, concentrate
on ''helping" the criminals rather than
guiding unfortunate children from back
alleys to a sense of community feeling.
Partly. too, the blame is on the polltl-
clans who prefer votes to justice-and
there is no small amount of blame for
that part of the public which tolerates
lax practice in treatment of criminals.
Cooperation of law abiding elements
will take the last vestige Of payment
out of crime.

Dredry Platforms Roosevelt VIII
Nail Demo PIdnkS :. Shooting Holes
In The Opposition

WASHINGTON.-The Republicans turned
out a somewhat dreary platform at Cleveland
and its questionable whether the Democrats
will produce a more inspiring document at Phil
adelphia
Roosevelt, however, will dictate his own
partys platform. He is a sufficiently Shrewd
politician to use a few planks to shoot holes
in any generalitieS and inconsistencies in the
opposition platform, taking full advantage OF
the fact that the Republicans did their shooting

The president may decide to crack at the
states rights shbboleth which the COP. has
now taken unto itself despite the fact that it
was for many decades Democratic property,
while the party OF Lincoln and Mckinley leaned
more toward Hamitonian doctrine Of strong
centralized authority.
He would have to tread softly, because there
is still great popular belief in such ShbbOleths.
as the Republicans well realize.
But there is also plenty of evidence con-
cerning situations where it has been shown
difficult or impossible, regardless of conStitu-
tional and supreme court limitations, to get
states to pass desirable social, humanitarian,
or labor legislation because it would put them
or certain OF their citizens at competitive
disadvantage with states which did not so legis-
late.
Unemployed insurance, for instance, Jagged
when left to the states, because opponents
could always say that the necessary payroll tax
would drive industries elsewhere.
The Republican platform proposes to en-
courage adoption by the states OF honest and
practical measures for meeting the problems
of unemployment insurance.
Support for the adoption Of state laws and
interstate compactS to abolish sweatShopS and
child labor and protect women and children
with respect to maximum hours, minimum wages
and working conditions, promised by the
Cleveland platform, is another case in point.

state lines to areas where state-imposed labor
standards are low is notorious. An employer

law while his competitor so miles away paid as
low wages as he liked.
Interstate compactS designed to put all en-
ployerS on an even basis sound nice. Their
formation is cumbersome and the more states
you try to get into one, the more the task tends
toward impossibity
Landon, to his credit recognized these facts
when he telegraphed the convention that in
case minimum wage laws were impossible
through means suggested by the platform, he
would be fer a constitutional amendment.
He did not suggest confining power for this
legislation to the states because he recognized
the need of at least some provision for effec-
tive federal participation
Handing relief back to the states is another
matter although it has some of the same aspects,
because it has been demonstrated that some
states are unable or unwilling to provide ade-
quate relief for citizens.
