Vivisection Called
Blood Lust
East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
Nov. s. 1914.

Nov. s, 1914.
MR. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
McCLOUD, CALF.
DEAR SIR:
WITH reference to the letter printed in your
w Boston Daily Record of Nov s, making
plea that you do everything you can TO prevent
the spread Of vivisecton by the of your papers
to campaign against the building of institutions in
Maryland for laboratory work where animals will
be tortured, this is just another letter from one
who, like Mrs. Litter-begs that you give help to
this cause.
Ebert Hubbard said, "Vivisection is blood
lust screened behind the sacred name Of science
When in high school, on debating team, this
question was debated and the verdict registered
that vivisection should be legislated against-to
prevent the bloodusty Investigators from carry
ing this from the innocent and helpless dogs and
animas-te insane human beings-who have on
occasions been known to have been subjected to-
this torture.
The world is getting pretty bad and you will
be blessed for campaigning against vivSection
with all your great resources and my friends and
| who read your papers are looking forward TO
your support and interest and great help.
H. w. MASSIE.
p. ST. understand the medical men in United
States are trying to get a seat in Congress or
somewhere in Washington high courts-to force
certain measures upon the people Of the United
States. Your wonderful papers can take this up
and do your utmost to prevent such condition.
1t is dangerous for the medical men to get such
power-and you and your great organizations Of
editors know this very WE'LL too am sure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20
i=Q Queer deings have taken
the stage here.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not veto
the bill preventing another j
and l per cent hike for worker
and management in social Sc
curity taxes. A veto message
had been written for him by his
social security board. Assistant
President James Byrnes tipped
congressman definitely the veto
would come.
The average stereotyped in
depreciation is that the Presi-
dent is getting somewhat more
conservative. l do not think so.
Congress was ready TO pass the
bill over a veto, had the votes
in line. The President could not
stop it. His action therefore
simply implies he has reached
the age where he is not in
terested in provoking losing
fights Tor at least this one) for
political purposes only.
Those who think he has gone
conservative on social security
will be dismayed next month
when he sets forth CIO-ish

the answer. A woman might go with group or
with another woman in the beginning, but she
quickly formed the habit of going alene.
The war has brought many marriages of very
young people or people who have not had time to
learn to know each other These marriages have
been described as legal, but not psychological
because there has not been the opportunity to
develop understanding through living together or
to establish home.
On the contrary the wife remains in the
setting of her girlhood; with strange in-laws, or
follows her husband as he moves with his mill
tary unit.
Newcomers living in undesirable situations,
people unable to face what war brings, lonesome
girls and women trying to find cOmpaniOnShip and
amusement, restless war brides, women bored with
hOmemaking and child rearing, wend their way
to the public drinking place, along with the woman
who goes there to ply her trade.
MANY fine efforts have been made by group
1V1 work agencies and the Department OF Parks
and Recreation to provide leisure time activities
to meet needs and the record of attendance at
these activities shows that more and more people
are being served.
There are, however, many more who choose
the public drinking place.
Wherein lies the failure to serve this group
Would they be unsatisfied no matter what was
provided? Do they want to go where there Is the
chance Of picking up a man who Is strange and
exciting? Do they want to drink enough so that
they will not be so careful and discriminating, or
would they respond to some other type of activity
than that now being offered by groups interested
in serving youth and newcomers?
In some cities, particularly near military cen.
ters, unaccompanied women have been prohibited.
| do not approve of such action. believe that
women should have the same privilege of going TO
public drinking places that men have, but | also
feel that much that makes -unhappiness and
broken homes could be avoided if the drinking
place could be so arranged that it would serve its
purpose of providing refreshment and recreation
without being place where men and women pick
each other up to their mutual harm. -

ShopS remain open Tor the Sake OF
the public.
This is the same Mike Quill who,
as head of the Transport Workers
Union, has enforced his own ode
mands by threatening to call strikes
AGAINST THE PUBLIC on the
city owned transit lines, which would
paralyze the whole municipality.
According to congressional inVes-
tigators, Quill runs with the Com
muniSts.
The butchers booed Quill, as well
they might.
The other incident was an an
nouncement by Mayor LaGuardia
that the city government would pre-
vent patrolling strikers committee
from functioning and would help
nonstriking butchers to supply meat.
In New York's LABOR walkouts,
notably the riotous taxicab drivers
strike, Mr.. LaGuardia has sided with
the strikers and has shown his con-
tempt for "strike breakers. !"
In this instance of a prospective
BUSINESSMEN'S strike, he pro-
poses to become a "strikebreaker"
himself.
NOV, what is the implication of
~ it all?
Just this-these butchers, being
businessmen and mostly small busi-
nessmen at that, belong to the most
numerous, the most useful, the most
indispensable-but the least organ
lied and consequently the most af
fiicted-group of citizens in America
today.
THEY BELONG TO THE
WHITE COLLAR GLASS"
Their "class" - the energetic,
self reliant, productive upper middle
class-is, as the Hearst newspapers
said but recently, being ruthlessly

tween the millstones of BUREAUC-
RACY and COMMUNISM and the

DENTAL.
1t is one of the revolutionary"
techniques toward planned econ
omy" in a socialistic or communistic
America.
That is why New York's meat
dealers are in such trouble.
From this evil, as we have also
said before, the MIDDLE CLASS
must save itself; and it will thereby
save the American system of free
enterprise, too.
The New York master butchers
have shown that this can be done
BY ACTING TOGETHER.

SOME HIM. OCCuTTeQ- -LndL-NdS
~ both new and disconcerting to
radical labor leaders and to labor
politicians when the retail butchers
associations in New York City called
a strike to begin on Christmas Day.
It was to be strike against THE
BUREAUCRATS who are making
and enforcing laws in such punitive
manner that it became actually
CHEAPER for the retailers to pad
lock their own doors than to go on
buying and selling what the public
wants and needs.
In fact, the bureaucrats had SO
arranged affairs that these business
men were being penatized no matter
what they did.
Briefly, the master butchers were
being COMPELLED to sell meat
FOR LESS THAN 1T COST THEM,
and were subjected besides to con-
slant inquisition by swarms of in
spectors and questionnaires.
TN ORDER to OBEY THE BU-
i REAUCRATS they had to
TRADE THEMSELVES INTO
BANKRUPTCY.
With really remarkable reticence,
they stated their program in the fol-
lowing placard, to be affixed to their
locked doors:
"This store wiH be closed in pro-
test against unfair persecution in the
enforcement of 5000 pages of COM
plicdted, unUorkable regulations.
They forebore to add that these
regulations, already so voluminous
as to be incomprehensible, were being
continually changed, to such an eX-
tent that any butcher among them,
however honest and patriotic his
intentions might be, could always be
found guilty of some violation" if
the inspectors or the bureaucrats
wished to "get" him.
Obviously, therefore, if New York
City has to undergo period of meat
less days, the people should know
whom to blame.
THEY SHOULD NOT BLAME
THE HAPLESS MEAT DEALERS;
THEY SHOULD BLAME THE
BUREAUCRATS AND THE
RADICALS.
THE situation invoked the protest
L of Mr.. Michael j. Quill.
Mr.. Quill said he represented
100000 members Of the CI0 "who
are not striking in wartime"-as

On my desk, for example, is the case of a 26.
year-old wife of a serviceman, with two small
children.
few days ago she went to a beer garden
with woman friend. They had a few drinks and
presently man from nearby table came and sat
down with them.
He was pleasant companion and the young
woman allowed him to walk home with her. AT the
door she attempted to say good-by
The man. it seems, had no intention of saying
good-by He attempted forcbly to get into her
apartment Fortunately her Outcry was heard
and she was rescued by policeman
AND here is report on 17-year-old girl, taken
"A into custody at 2:45 a. m. and charged with
being drunk and disordery on the street.
She had been to a movie with friend. After
the movie the friend went home; the girl decided
to stop in at a bar for couple of beers.
She sat at a table alone. In addition to the
beers she bought for herself, several were sent
over by man who was seated nearby.
Presently the man came up to her table and
spoke to her. Frightened the girl ran out on the
street, where the policeman found her.
EEDERAL JUDGE FRANK PICARD has sug-
l. gested the licensing of all bartenders and
mattresses. | very much approve OF such plan,
particularly if each person licensed carries an
identifying card.
Development of war industries brought large
numbers of people to the city who were unpre-
pared for urban living. There was not enough of
anything to meet needs. Many unattached men
and women were living in cramped quarters
They were uprooted and lonesome.
After working hard through shift of eight
hours, they wanted recreation which would not
require too much activity. Sitting in a drinking
place where there were friendly people, music and
perhaps dancing met the need.
Mobilization took many young men from our
community. Unlike many other cities the man in
uniform has never been one Of our major prob
lens. Our wartime problem has been scarcity of
men, rather than the over-abundance found in
cities near military centers.
This was brought out during the past year
when the Department of Parks and Recreation
attempted to organize get-acquainted club. Out
of the first 1000 persons who indicated interest,
9S4 were women and 16 men.
THE fears and insecurities of wartime made it

Fairfax Board
'Confers on New
.zoning Law
Proposed Ordinance
Would Establish 10
Districts in County

The proposed new Fairfax County
coming ordinance was discussed
yesterday at joint meeting of the
County Board Of Supervisors and
the County Planning Commission.
The new ordinance would estab-
lish 10 districts, including agricul-
tural, five residential districts, three
commercial districts, and an indus
trial district. Dwelling density per-
mitted would vary from three dwell
ings per acre in residential district
No. 3, to one dwelling on five acres
In the agricultural district.
The ordinance also would regulate
building setbacks in all districts, in
cluding front, rear and side yards,
limit the height of buildings, pro-
vide for off-street parking space,
regulate the erection and size of
signs and billboards, and also regu-
late the establishment on operation
of trailer parks.
Some Oppose Agricultural Limit.
While a number of persons have
voiced opposition to the 5-acre min
imum for agricultural areas, many
others, especially those living in the
present agricultural districts, have
expressed satisfaction with the pro-
posed minimum lot area.
The usual agricultural operations
would be permitted in agricultural
districts, also tourist homes, business
establishments, airports, hospitals,
night clubs and industrial estab-
lishments engaged in processing
agricultural products.
One-acre lots would be required
In No. residential districts, one
half acre lots in No. 2 districts and
a maximum number of three dwell
ings per acre in No. districts.
Subdivision developers would be
permitted to include all land dedi-
Gated for public use as a portion of
the tract when subdividing, but in
no instance would the lot size be any
smaller than 1900 square feet, of a
minimum width of so feet.
Would Limit Billboard Size.
The measure would prohibit the
erection of any sign or billboard
having larger area than so square
feet, Trailer park regulations rela-
tive to sanitary facilities and lot
size would be similar to the county
trailer ordinance which became ef-
fective January l.
The agricultural districts would
lie chiefly in the magisterial dis
tricts of Centerville, Dranesville and
Lee, and also a portion of Mount
Vernon. Residential and industrial
areas would be located in Mount
Vernon and Falls Church districts
and Providence district would be
chiefly residential, with a small area
being zoned as agricultural.
The board will probably authorize
the publishing of the proposed ordi-
nance for a public hearing in the
near future. The discussion on the
measure was led by Charles C. Wall,
Mount Vernon. chairman of the
Planning Commission.
