HOP SHORTAGE FEARED
BY BEER BREWERS AS
RESULT EUROPEAN WAR
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. (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.

over all kinds of roads and have!
come to the conclusion that lack of
proper respect and consideration
for lights of others causes most
accidents.
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.

I heartily agree with him that this

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.
