IT IS amazing to know how
= little the general public knows
about viviSection. When informed
they are shocked to know that
such cruelty IS practiced on ami
mails.
Vlvisection is the experiment
tatjon of science upon ANIMALS
Dogs and cats are the greatest
victims. Its cruelties are beyond
description. Doctors defend the
practice on the ground that the
animals are under the influence
of drugs. All who have ever
been operated upon know that
the real suffering comes after
the operation.
Michigan should follow the eX-
ample of other states and outlaw
the practice of ViviSection.

take her more than minute to snatch
four bars of soap and let herself in too.
She heard 1890 saying, "Oh, Dicky.
it's simply wonderful you've come"
Standing in the bath, Ellen fused with
bath towels and strained to hear.
Someone laughed; she heard, "Well.
l came for the scolding." She wanted
to laugh too, because that was exactly
what Dick had said. Only this voice
was nothing like as deep and strong as
Dicks She held her breath to hear
how 1890 was going on from here. She
had to know! So she went into the
little reception hall and began giving
the mirror over the console vigorous
polish because in the mirror there was
a view of the sofa in the salon.
Then Ellen nearly fell over. Sitting
next to 1890 was very small boy. He
couldn't have been more than eight
years old at the outside.
"Oh. Dicky" 1890 said happily. A
bell rang inside Ellen; 1030s voice
sounded just like hers when Dick had
been so sweet.
Listen, mom," Dicky was saying
as Ellen let herself out, when l got
your letter there at school i"
Ellen made her way to the linen
closet, her mind awhirl with all sorts
of things. This all just didn't make
sense. She was still trying to make
head or tail of it when Cora came in,

She waylaid Cora in the linen room.
Listen, Cora, before you were mar

boy friend, did you ever write him a
letter? And then would he call you?
"Why would l be writing the guy?"
Cora inquired, getting the sheets.

told her. you can actually count on
them telephoning or coming after"
"Yeah?" Cora returned in a thor
oughly disillusioned way. "The one
thing you can count on with men is
them surprising you"
Ellen could have screamed. Cora
hadn't meant happy surprise.
Back in the crowded family fiat
those two nights, it was as if she never
stopped thinking of Dick a single
second, even when she was asleep.
Would he call? What if he didn't? She
tried to keep from crying so that her
mother wouldn't notice. Want

you and Dick going?"
No, DON'T press it," Ellen answered.
If she got all ready he wouldn't come.
She didn't even tell her mother what
to say in case he telephoned before she
got home, because when you go count
ing and planning on a thing it's so
terribly apt not to happen.
She kept thinking that if only she
could see 1920, she'd know whether
her Dicky had answered and that
would be what you'd call an Omen. But
1890 was always out There weren't
any fresh flowers - bad sign.

icatory program.
The building, begun in March.
1910. and completed last February
by the T. Calvin Owens Construc-
tion Co. of Bethesda, contains IL
classrooms and two auditoriums.
The larger of the auditoriums is
used as church, the Rev. James
Little, pastor of the parish, ex-
planned, because the congregation of
the parish has outgrown the ca
pacity of the old church.
A home containing 20 rooms for
the Sisters of st. Francis, who teach
at the school, was also added to the
church grounds.
The new building is located on
the East-West highway at Bethesda.
