Opencd as a rest home for animals not long ago. the animal farm—the only thing of its kind in District 2nd one of the few in United States—today harbors thim sixty dogs, twenty-five cats, half a dozen old horses, one Dig. two turkeys, some cows and calves. What a_merry, carefree, doggone sort of a life those sixty dogs, twen- ty-five cats, six old horses, pig, gob- the blers, cows and calves are living to- | day! While the wealthy members of the country club are enjoying their golf on the beautiful links, these animal waifs are enjoying. in that patient, happy way animals have of enjoying things, an equally beautiful site, with rolling hills and meadows, rushing creek and shady trees. Dogs Have Real Homes. In big animal parks. 50 by 150 feet —there are six of these parks al- ready completed—the dogs bark and run to their hearts' content.

How well this duty is being per- formed may be seen any time by any one interested in taking a fifteen- mile automobile ride. Happy dogs. fat cats, old horses. actually taking on a bit of flesh—all bespeak content and comfort. Sunday being a good day for an auto ride, let us climb into the old car and shuffle out Massaghusetts avenue to Q street, then out New Cut | road to Conduit road. and out that thoroughfare, pact the new great conduit work, with the tremendous pipe lines of concrete through which an automobile easily could be driven, then north on River road to the lane leading directly to Be Kind to Ani- mals Rest Farm. It is an enjoyable ride, taking about an hour to cover the distance, as one section of the road is just old country road. where the car has to run along in the ruts. But it Is not bad going. Dogs Bark Greeting. Before the car gets to the neat, two- story frame house in which William Worden, the caretaker, his wife, Maude, and their two children, Ralph and Annle, live, the barks of many dogs greet one. A little fox terrier, with two great ears which he carries flat to his head, greets_you as’vou descend from the car. This little fellow, thereafter, will be vour constant’ companion. Wherever you go, he will be at your heels. He comes out of the tallest grass, and appears at the heels of old Dobbin in the meadow.
