FAIR
ENOUGH
BY Westbrook

DRESIDENT ROoSEV Ell T

pRESlDENI Rouse V l. i
Il recently endorsed an OBJ
servance under mixed religious
auspices, Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish, of Home Week or.
if you like, Family Week.
In doing so, he ran over the
list of familiar virtues OF the
home and of the family as the
basic unit Of civilization.
II was one paper of his with
which no opponent of his adj
ministration could find the
slightest fault.
1t is a pity, however, that this
institution should be in need Of
propaganda and promotion for
revival because until the war
began TO disrupt homes. ours
was a country in which the
home and the family enjoyed
the most favorable conditions.
THE subject is touchy one
for, at last reports, one
marriage in six ended in divorce.
But divorce means broken
homes and those who study de-
linquency among children and
examine the records of convictS
in the prisons have found that
a high percentage Of their
clients came from broken
homes.
They suspected that disrup-
ton of the home by divorce had
been rather more. than less, re-
sponsible for the waywardness
Of the children
1t is acknowledged 10 be a
tragedy when the father or
mother Of family is removed
from a home by death. but. out
of consideration for the feelings
Of the many parties 10 our many
divorces by which children are
denied the care and gHidance-af
one parent, usually the father,
we read little consideration OF
these tragedies.
The clergy touches up the
subject now and again bat that
is the end or II.
Nor have l any helpful sug-
gestlon.
Yet the fact remains that the
home has suffered terrible dam
age in the divorce courts, in
many cases for frivolo u s
reasons
We have seen some states de-
vising laws TO attract divorce
trade for the benefit Of hotels.

dress shops.

The truth is that nearly half
the men now being discharged
from the army for illness are
officially designated psyche
neuroricS. The surgeon generals
office has announced $4,000 10
10000 men are being let out
for physical Disability each
month. and of these, 40 per
cent are classified Pms.
A competent authority says
not a man has been discharged
from the Russian army for that
reason. Why is this?
The first cid fogcy notion that
must be discarded in trying TO
understand this new subject is
tine fo0ftSfr popular suspicion
that psychoneurosis means in

Be Kind 10 Animals

d Animals
full speed is one of the most disgust
ing of these practices.
The forcing of horses over high
places, usually into streams or pools
of water, is another.
The vicious practice of bull
logging is still another
Thus we have depraved sports
mansAif and bestial exhibitionism as
two of the most common excuses for
cruelty to helpless animals.
But these are by no means all of
the excuses.
-4NE= Of the very worst and the
~ most misunderstood and misrep-
resented, and the most inexcusable
and indefensible, is the cruel and
ruthless and utterly useless practice
of so called vivisection.
This is the sacrifice, tormenting,
torture and lingering slaughter of
animals, supposedly done in the name
of science.
Finally, it is mistake to suppose
that commercial exploitation of ami
mals-once the major field of cruelty
to animals-has been eliminated by
modern mechanization.
There are still more than fifteen
million horses and mules working IN
American agriculture.
More than HALF of all American
farming is still done with the labor
Of draft animals.
SO there is still a great need for
the admomtion to BE KIND TO
ANIMALS in the United States.
CONSEQUENTLY, there is a great
y and useful and humanitarian
purpose to be served by BE KIND
TO ANIMALS WEEK.
After God had made man in his
image, according to the first chapter
in the first book Of the Bible, this
charge was put upon humanity
And let them have dominion
oUer fish in the sea, and oUer foul of
the air, and ouer tie cattle, and ouer
all the earth, and ouer every creep
ing thing that creepeth upon the
earth"
Surely this dominion Of man over
tire CTETtuTFs Ur- TIRE earth was not
intended to be a rule of destruction
and cruelty but Of Justice, mercy
and affection
That is what BE KIND TO AMI
MAILS WEEK has promoted and en-
couraged anti enhanced for thirty
years In the United States, and what
it Will emphasize throughout this
years annual observance.

A THIRTY YEAR OLD observ-
y ance which is of much interest
and Importance to the American
people, BE Kind TO Animals Week, !"
will be conducted this year through
out the week of April % to 80.
There is mistaken belief held by
many thoughtless people that the
admonition to be kind to animals has
been made needless, partly by the
changed character of the times in
which we live and even more by the
almost universal love which prevails
for animals particularly for those
cherished by children and adults
alike in so many homeS.-
1t is true that comparatively few
people are personally and deliber
ately and maliciously cruel to ami
mails.
1t is alsotrue that there are some
six hundred nti-crueity organiza
tiofs active iii the United States,
including the American Humane
Association and the long established
and respected Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals.
But it is unfortunately not true
but accusingly quite the opposite
that humane regard for animals and
birds has become so completely the
rule in the United States that cruel
practices are either impossible or in
frequent or unimportant
