MY CONGRATULATIONS to
WI the publisher and staff of
The American Weekly for your

Obviously the expanded dis

veal an increasing trend of
CONSCIENTIOUS THOUGHT

The value of this article can he
judged by the immediate public

MR.. L. c. NOISE,
AMERICAN WEEKLY.
THANK you for your acknowl-
Il edgement of my letter of
Oct. 80 in reference to viviSec-
ton. 1t is indeed gratifying 10
know that LEGITIMATE AC-
TON HAS BEEN TAKEN.
l intend to draw up several
petitions urging the city council
New York; TO follow suit as in
the case of the District of CO.
lumbia.
These ! will send TO the Vivi-
section Investigation League
who will direct them through
the proper channels.
Financial contributions, too,
will, no doubt, be helpful.

DEAR SIR:
7 HAVE just finished reading
4 your article dealing with I'm.
necessary cruelty visited on
dogs during vivisection. For the
first time in my life I have the
urge to kill any one connected
with this Socalled research. It's
rotten! Downright rotten!
Congress should not be forced
to pass laws TO curb this wanton
cruelty. THE NATURAL LAWS
THAT GOVERN DECENCY
AND HUMANITY SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT.
What are the men of science
becoming? Are they group
of. warped minded scientific
maniacS?
1t would seem to me that peo-
pie have already benefited suf-
ficiently by such research and
il is about time they would find
some other method of eXperi-
mentation. Why don't they eX-
pertinent on themselves?
No doubt there will be any
number of letters from people
like myself in response to your
splendid article. If a fight to
arouse public interest IN THIS
BRUTALITY ever comes to
head, please count me in. 1t
would be a pleasure TO aid.

IN YOUR most worthy Amer
i lean Weekly" of Oct. % I
read with horror your article.
Torture, the Reward of Mans
Best Friend"
l am writing to ask if there
Is a way possible that a petition
could get under way 10 whom
ever it would be necessary to
reach to get this HORRID IN
TOLERANT ABUSE OF UN-
FORTUN ATE ANIMALS
ABOLISHED.
! am sure most all young
Sters. soldiers, sailors, marines
and all others serving so faith
fully 10 protect our democracy
as we'll as civilianS-would
sign such petition.
Every one l am sure would
cooperate. It's the least one
could do for those FAITHFUL
FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS.
They, too, are playing an all
important part in our war ef-
fort.
With Gods help may this
reach the right parties so jus
tice may prevail where all de-
fenselesS animals are concerned.
