Hoped Rescued

From circumstances revealed
IN the three previous communi-
!, cations from her son, Robert
Dethlolf, long a japanese prs
oner OF war, Mrs. Lou Agnes
Dethlofl believes that he may be
among the dramatically released
survivors of the cruiser "Hous-
ton"
The fate of the Houston. a
heavy cruiser type, has remained
d mystery since she started out
from Tanjong Prick to try to
run to Soenda Straits to repair
damages from two eight-ineh hits
that had been sustained in the
Battle Of JavaSe the previous
day.
That there had been survivors
was k1own, and Mrs. Dethloff
has received three messages from
her younger son though his ell
der brother, Frank, who was also
a member of the Houston" crew
has never been heard from. Hope
has been born afresh that he may
be among the rescued prisoners.
Hope is also being entertain
ed that a kinsman OF Mrs. j. G.

Fulton Of Washington, D. C., may

yIIVISECTION is the inquisition-the
Y hell-of science. All the cruelty which
the human-or rather the inhuman-
heart is capable Of inflicting, is IN THIS
ONE WORD. Below this there is no
depth. This word lies like coiled SER
pent at the bottom Of the abyss.
We can excuse, in part, the crimes OF
passion. We take into consideration the
fact that man is liable to be caught by
the whirlwind, and that from brain on
fire the soul rushes to a crime.
But Uhat excuse can ingenuity form

NERVES OF PAIN?
The wretches who commit these in
famous crimes PRETEND that they are
working for the good Of man; that they
are aCtuated by philanthropy; and that
their pity for the sufferings of the human
race drives out all pity for the animals
they SLOWLY TORTURE TO DEATH.
But those who are incapable Of pitying
animals are, as matter Of fact, IN

A PHYSICIAN who would cut a living

with the life of any patient in his power.
BY the same reasoning he will justify the
viviseetion of animals and patients
He will say that it is better that few

A GAINST this background of

All too frequently we listen to
speeches by these statesmen on the
radio or read statements over their
signatures in the press which are
prepared by ghosts who know as
little about the subject matters as the
statesmen themselves.
Lack of knowledge and of sound
reasoning are covered up by emo

cIeverly pfrased and designed to
create prejudices and foreclose
