Dear Mr.. Hearst:
I WISH TO express my sincere
i gratitude for that most Ten
tightening and truthful article
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-03

which appeared in your column
In the News" on Monday, April
Il, 1871, in the Chicago Herald
American.
Your article regarding the "cru-
city TO animals through vivisec-
ton" was simply priceless. II takes
genuine courage" to print such
an article which puts the spot
light" on the greatest atrocity" In
existence today. We have no right
to call ourselves "civilized" as long
as we tolerate" this "indiscrimi-
nate animal torture"
I'm 1907 opposed 10 vivisection
as a whole, and l believe that the
sooner the public" Is "enlight-
ened" regarding this "atrocity" the
sooner they will protest en-
masse" against IL.
wish that other newspapers
would cooperate" with you in
this matter, but perhaps they
lack the courage"
Mr.. Hearst, mayI suggest that
YOU print an article about free
ing our Chicago dog pound" from
the "shacklcs of vivisectiOn."
Chicago is the only city In the
L. s. \. which sends its pound
''Captives' 10 experimental IabOra-
tories.
As native Chicagoan" and
taxpayer" / denounce this vicious
system as well as the "Arvey ordi-
nance which is behind ii ALL"
But. my protests" are merely
"a drop in the bucket" compared
to one influential article In your
worthy column. So speak up, Mr..
Hearst, and may God bless you for
your splendid work.
Protests-mlllIons Of them
that's what we need TO right this
great wrong"
Most sincerely.

Dear Editor of the
journal and Americana:
DRAVo for you. I'm the News"
~ is certainly putting forth
some good news in calling atten-
ton TO the mean practice of vivi-
section.
Inflicting pain upon innocent
animals for the benefit of selfish
humans who bring sickness and
disease upon themselves seems TO
me very cowardly.
Why not give fresh air, sunshine,
good, clean living real chance?
Clean up slums. Let us have more
work by sanitary engineers; and
less vivisection.

In formulating plans for this
event, Tacoma stores. large and
small. have adopted the I4-point
code devised by the National Re
tail Dry Goods association. The
first and foremost point in this
program is the pledge 10 practice
and preach the doctrine OF "Our
Country First and Foremost"
Further sections of the pledge
define the duties Of retailers as
the purchasing agents Of the pub
lie and. in that connection. stores
promise To maintain. as far as
possible. price levels consistent
with costs. They will eliminate
from their rank and file any and
all unfair trade practices which
might injure the public, and ex-
clude all scare" advertising. par
ticularly that which says or i'm
plies. Buy now, because prices
are rising"
Keep Public Informed
The 14-point pledge promises
10 keep consumers informed on

price levels and changes IN quail
/ ity consistent with National De-
Tense. To further assist national
defense agencies. the development
and distribution of substitutes for
materials needed for defense is
urged. as well as the simplifiea-
ton Of merchandise types TO thus
free labor and materials for gov
eminent requirements.
Commencing Immediately, stores
will further assist in the distribu-
ton to consumers OF such defense
literature as information as the
government may desire 10 have
distributed. In this connection,
most Tacoma retailers are placing
facilities at the disposal Of the
u. s. Treasury for the sale OF De-
Tense Bonds and Defense Stamps.
This follows the urgent request of
Secretary of the Treasury, Nor
ganthau who last week issued a
statement stressing the impor-
lance Of savings for defense.
AS a feature of the Retailers
for-Defense program, stores bind
themselves to maintain stability
OF retail employment in all ways
consistent with the National De
Tense. Employees who wish to
serve their country will be given
every possible encouragement and
assistance.
Special attention is being TO-
cussed on the Importance of con-
serving defense materials. Through
daily contact with the buying pub
lie Of the nation, stores are in
ideal positions to furnish this
leadership in conservation for de-
Tense. both through Identification
of such materials and the control
Of their distribution.
Special Window Displays
The Tacoma merchants COM
mittee has made plans for patrio-
tic activities during the coming
week. Window displays with de-
Tense themes are being installed
in many stores. Advertising will
stress American created fashions
and made-in-Ameriea merchandise.
Attention is being called to de-
Tense products made in this
vicinity.
With the assistance of the Ia
coma Chamber of Commerce, a
is being staged to enable
store Representatives TO discover
a Mrs. Typical Customer" in Ia
coma. This honor will be awarded
on the basis of rules which may
be secured with contest entry
blanks from most stores in the
city. For the winner there will
be an award of S25 Defense
Saving Bond donated by local
merchants and an opportunity to
qualify for national honors with
an all-paid trip to the national
contest headquarters in New York.
