Although there's no reported
shortage of dogs. the Chicago Anti

for adoption until the prospective
owner passes a test-which includes
answering lots of questions and an
investigation of his home.
DR.. w. A. Young, the society's

procedure was considered best to as
sure placing the right kind of dog

WASHINGTON AND WAR
By ]. E. JONES

Washington, d. c., March.-At
the outbreak of the war in Europe
our own Government adopted an
embargo policy - and neutrality
followed. Discussion over the lat
ter step was very bitter, and in
order to silence the isolationists
President Roosevelt promised the
American people that their sons
would not be sent overseas to fight
in foreign war.
The next step toward war was
the lease-lend legislation, and no.
tice to the World that America was
the arsenal for democracy. The
Nazis met the challenge with sub
marines. That carries us along to
Pearl Harbor, the Philippines and
declarations of war between the
United Nations and the Axis.
Looking backwards-it seems to
have been very swift series OF
hops, skips, and jumps from the
defensive" to the Offensive.
So today as write to you from
the Capital City can assure you
that this word unity" is accepted
by your administrative and legisla-
tive branches of government, and
offensive war is the next move on
the program.
1 wish that all the millions of
readers who are familiar with my
correspondence could see their
Washington of March. 1942-but |
advise you to stay awayl Hundreds
of acres of new buildings have
sprung up within a year, and an
estimated increase of 250,000 in
the population is conservative. The
streets bristle with men in Army,
Navy. Marine. and Air uniforms;
the White House grounds are
closed. anti-aircraft guns and
heavy armament are seen in parks.
on buildings, and in all vital
points; bridges are guarded; the
walks and streets are, crowded
with pedestrians oand vehicles; the
spring celebration of the, Japanese
cherry trees is anathema - and
scratched.
l lived in Washington through
the first World war and my recol-
lection is that the District of Co
lumbia was in more of a mess then
than now. There aren't as many
cocktail parties, drunks and disor-
derlies as in 1917-1S. Housing and
office conditions are well regu-
lated, considering the rush; and
rents are practically frozen. The
flu ravaged Washington during the
former war. Now all the folks
seem to be in good health, blessed
with good appetites. and ready to
fight for victory.
