ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE TAKES FURTHER STEPS TO AID UNFORTUNATES. ‘Washington, even though their | owners cannot foot the bill. The Washington Animal Res- cue League has announced the organi- | zation of a free clinic for pets whose masters are unable to afford veterinary costs. Bullt with funds the Govern- | ment paid for the league's former home at Maryland avenue and Four-and- half street southwest, the new institu- tion on O street between North Capitol and Pirst streets will be manned oy a competent staff of Veterinary surgeons co-operating with the organization. The contract for the construction of | the haven has been awarded to Bahen & Wright, and R. W. Berry i8 the archi- tect. Actual operations will begin within & month and formal dedication probably will be made by early Winter. Conceived in 1914. The foundation, growtn and develop- ment of the Animal Rescue League are so intimately associated with so many Washingtonians that it is now recog- nized as ranking among ths communiiy | organizations doing a useful and neces- sary work. It was conceived during 1914 by a small band of Washington men and women. They drew their in- | spiration partly from the success of the | Animal Rescue League in Boston and | partly from their chagrin at seeing the | Capital of the United States lagging so far behind in s movement which was econcmic as well as humanitarian. The roster of the founders reads like a page from the book of Washington's most public-spirited. But whatever tinge of sentimentality may have ac- companied their plans and their action, they were guided throughout by the strictest sense of practical humani- tarianism. There were existing then in | the Capital, to be -sure, the Humane | Soclety, doing a splendid work within its feld, and the municipally operated | dog pound. But friends of both will | concede that neither covered the whole | fleld of animal shelter and rescue pro- | viding the practical relief so sorely needed. The Humane Soclety was en- gaged principally in enforcing the laws against brutality and cruelty to ani- mals. The dog pound was enmed’ principally in enforcing the law requir- ing the licensing and tagging of dogs. Either, of course, was ready to respond to the extent of its capacity, HERE will be medical salvation I for ailing Tiges and Dobbins of called upon, for relief of animal dis- | | ocntinue, prevailed. It was not only decided to but to move into a place more suitable. Number 1335 Ohio avenue northwest was chosen. Washingtonians of an older day will recognie the lo- cality. and possibly the address, as a neighborhood most appr ately con- verted to the uses of civic improvement. ‘The hitherto unheard-of sum of $25 a month was to be paid. Not only did the guiding spirits shoulder the load, but they pledged themselves to con- tribute $300 in cash to a fund of $500 which was to be raised to carry on the work, City Is Cleaned Up. ‘The league's work was amply justified by the demonstrated need for it. The results show. Downtown ‘Washington began to be cleaned up of its homeless, wandering, starving cats and dogs, which abounded there in seeming! E countless numbers. The work spread throughout the city and to the suburbs.. The readiness, the prompt- ness and the cheerfulness with which the league responded to calls at any hour of the day or night won support | and admiration wherever its representa- tives went on their errands of merc Boys and girls came in as junior mem- bers; they bought memberships for their pets; life memberships were created. The sources of income increaed, but the field of work extended so rapidly ahead of them that the league was nevey able to meet all the opportunities its work presented. Had it not been for the gen- erosity of individuals from time to time it never could have developed to - its present. uumlmui In a short while the league had to move again. This time it moved to a home of its own. The secretary, Mrs. Frank E. Smith, appealed to Miss Cod- man and to Chester Snow, sr., to once more open their purses and place the league in a permanent place. The re- sult was the purchase of the corner at Maryland avenue and Four-and-a-Half street southwest, where the league had room for expansion. enthusiasm of its membership and th=iv devotion to a practical cause was its sustaining note. Before the league had an ambulance of its own it was no uncommon occurrence for a member to leave a dinner table on receiving a tele- phone call from headquarters and take a motor car and drive to some remote section of the city to bring in some injured or suffering creature. Being intensely practical in its con- From that point it grew rapidly. The | | ception of animal shelter work, the league has recognized that if eypry | homeless or abandoned crea animal family were to be maintaired with food and shelter to the end of its natural span of life, whole sections of cities or countrysides would in a short | time take on the aspect of grotesque soolcgical gardens. The expense of feeding and maintaining the constantly | multiplying numbers of smail anirals, which are of no us> to society. soon | would mount to an expense which no humaniterian organization could meet. and which none could justify to the | public from which inevitably it must | derive its support.

Besides doing its principal work among mall animals the league handles larger imals, too, when occasion arises, al- ways with the objective “rescus the animal first.” Since its foundation the Animal Res- | cue Leagu» has coliecied and either | placed in suitable homes or humanely disposed of more than 205,000 anima's. | Its costs of operation are remarkal | low. The only money paid for services is to employes who actually gather and care for the animals. There is, therefore, slight “overhead.” The present officers and directors of the league are: Honorary president, Mrs. Herbert Hoover; president, Mrs. ‘Wll]hm F.

Willlam Slater, Mrs. . . Prenk E. Smith, Miss Codman, Miss Nancy Johnson and Mrs. George A.

DESTTTE MINE BENEFT STARTE 4,000 Sacks of Flour Sought for Needy in Coal " Fields. Almost destitute miners and their families will be provided for if success crowns the efforts of a Washington woman to raise the price of 4,000 sacks of flour. M®s. Todd C. Sharp, past president of Ladies’ Auxiliary, No. 13, of Typo- graphical Local 101, began the drive after receiving an appeal from Willlam Rogers, chairman of a relief cammittee of the United Mine Workers.of Ameri- ca, in Fairmont, W. Va., who reported many miners there were out of work ard unable to care for their families. A committee of 25 women and 5 men has been organized by Mrs. Sharp to solicit funds. She said slightly less than $1.000 would be needed to obtain the 4,000 bags. She added a wholesale house had agreed to furnish the car and had granted other favors because of the charitable nature of the enter- prise. Sacks to Be ‘Tagged. Each contributor will be asked to sign a tag. Each sack of flour will bear a tag when delivercd so the re- ciplents may know the identity of their benefactors, Although the primary purpose of the committee will be to collect funds for flour, gifts of old clothes also will be accepted. Committee headouarters have been established in Mrs. Sparp's home at 119 C street southeast. “The situation is at point,” Rogers wrote, “that our people are not only hungry, but they are suffering from want of food. With the Winter months practically here, no work for our idle men and no money to clothe and feed them, the situation looks anything but bright. Never in the histor of our organization have we been 0 completely helpless to assis: our idle members.
