(JFr Faced with a possible ahortage of beer hope In 1040. due to the European war, the United States Brewers asso ciation today urged Secretary of Wal lace to lift the government's restriO' tlons on harvesting 1939 hops and Increase the present quota. The association's committee on hops said brewers were fearful a shortage might result If importations were cut off by the war. At the snmo time, the committee suggested the revival of hop growing In New York state, which produced thousands of bales annually before the advent of prohibition but now harvests only 700 bales a year. About 00 per cent of the hops used In the United States. It was pointed out, to grown on the Pacific coast. James O. Roberts of Washington, D. C, a member of the committee on hops, said the government should permit the harvesting of all American-grown hops aa a means of ward ing off the possible danger of a shortage.

I also believe that If when drivers apply for a permit instead of exam ining their band and feet they would examine their heads there would not only be fewer driving per mits Issued, but there would be fewer accidents. All will agree that thoae who drive through traffic in a heedlesa. reck less manner, without respect for the rights of others, endangering the Uvea and property of others, hasn't common sense. In some cases there la a reason for ft driver wishing to use the cen ter of the road. One reason Is that some roads are so badly abused by heavy trucks (which should not be allowed on the highways) that the shoulders are dangerous. No driver can make the speed he thinks he must and keep to the ex treme right side of the road. It makes no difference where the yel low streak Is placed or which side the steering wheel la placed, the road hog la going to take any part of the road he wants. We have lota of fine drivers who take pride In seeing how well they can drive, how little noise they need to make; drivers who will not try to pass until there la a safe stretch of road ahead. I love to meet drivers like that and when one gets be hind me I wave htm by as soon as there Is a safe place, even if I have to slow up so he can make It. Here la my method of knowing when I'm on the edge of the pave ment; I use my radiator cap for a sight and when It Is on the edge of the pavement my wheels are about eight Inches from the edge. M. L.

Communications Agrees With Kraiise To the editor: In Mr. Krause'a communication he states he baa made a study of auto accidents for 16 years and has come to the conclusion we are driv ing on the wrong side of the road. I heartily agree with him that this Is one cause of so many accidents. especially head-on collisions. But the Idea that we are natural born left- handed drivers, or that It is natural for us to want to drive on the left side of the road Is all hooey. I have been driving since 1915, have driven more than 150.000 miles World Day for Animals To the Editor: Today Is world day for animals. Lovers of animals point out that on this occasion we should observe and reflect upon our behavior and atti tude towards these lowlier creatures in whom the same life as In our selves seems In some mysterious way to flow. Civilizations, as well aa nations and Individuals, acquire habits. A habit Is a form of action usually exercised without much thought or analysis. Much of our treatment of animals is habit. It Is recognised habit that a man will treat his horse or dog with kindness. Yet It Is also a habit for that same man to exter minate with utter unconcern the life of a beautiful deer or a high flying goose. The latter Is called sport. Another section of our civilization, generally high-minded, learned and cultured, haa acquired the habit of taking little animals, . tying them down so that they cannot move, and then cutting them open. This Is vivisection. It la most probable that few of these men would deliber ately hurt a living animal outside of the laboratory. But this la dif ferent: this la Science. There la yet another way of de stroying animal life, undoubtedly the most cruel and wanton of all; the "habit" of trapping animals. They must die in torture and terrible, lingering pain because they have beautiful, sleek coats of fur. This is commerce. The terrified cries of the trapped animals are lost In the lonely forest They do not reach the compassion ate heart of mankind. If they did many "habits" might be broken. It Is not altogether unfitting, then, that on at least one day in the year the cause of those who cannot speak should be championed by those who can. Few, perhaps, will condone the cruelty Inflicted on trapped animals, although the practice continues un checked because not enough voices have been lifted In protest. It Is the subject of vivisection, however, that has Its staunch defenders and at tackers. Here are the three reasons given for the practice of vivisection: First, that vivisection of animals is a means of developing human surgery. Second, that medicines for various diseases can be treated upon animals with great saving of human lives. And third, that vlvlsectlonal medi cines such as antl-typhold vaccine, smallpox vaccine, and dlptherla anti toxin have been the means of largely eliminating these diseases.
