With 4,000 complaints from last year before him concerning disruption of families, end of friendships and what not, all due to cat and dog activities in the five borcughs, Mr. Brown saw the rift in the cloud when he pondered the idea of the barkless dog. “Shushing” Stops Barking. “The dog of New York City,” he sajd, “is becoming so accustomed to the ‘shushing’ of its owner that it is beginning to stcp barking. Nelghbors complain so much to the health de- | partment, particularly people living in the apartment sections, that dogs must be restrained or removed from the city. “It all goes back to a city ordinance which provides that any one who har- bors any animal whose activities en- danger life or health may be , or even sent to jail. “When our commission suggested that residents report noises that might disturb mental functioning, the results were astonishing. The ~automobile, trolley and elevated railroads were well 2 ‘front as public nuisances, but cats dogs were far ahead cf traffic stles (since abolished), factory whistles, the snorts of motor cycles and motorboats with open exhausts, and even dishwashing noises in busy res- s during the Summer, when all windows are open.” Animal Noises Most Objected. Mr. Brown's records show that 126 per cent of the 29 varieties of com- plaints from New Yorkers about noise come from those who dislike dogs and WoobpwARrD & LoTHROP You Will Always Find the New Dress Fashions Here STAR. cat of all. “Spring is the worst,” sighed Mr. Brown, looking at the stack of mail on the desk. “Cats are annoying residents to the number of 50 a day. Women invariably complain about dogs. Men always want action about cats. More- over, the men write defending dogs, and women blame the dogs for the noise the cats make. “New York once was a quiet city, and cats and dogs were about the only difficulties. T>day you could take a lion, stir him up at Thirty-fourth street and Sixth avenue, and no one could hear him roar. That is the noisiest spot in the world, according to our charts, but, strangely enough, there are no' com- plaints.” Inspectors Check Protests.

When the barkless dog becomes a fact, and providing something can be done about the cats, Mr. Brown will be much happler.
