Janitor’s Love for Canine Causes Him to Lose His Job With Medical College

BECOMES ‘GOAT’ AS TREATMENT OF DOGS ISAIRED Fired Without Notice With Wife Sick —Bears Good References for Work. William Ayres, 111 West North street, was for three years a Janitor employed at the Indiana School of Medicine. He was assigned to that part of the college building where dogs are kept for the purposes of vivisection, and he had among other duties the care of the dogs. The dogs loved Ayres and he treated them in as humane a manner of the vlvlsectionists would permit. NOT REGARDED AS ‘‘DISCREET.’’ When information eoneerning the cruelties practiced by the college on these dogs was being collected by persons intent on protecting the dumb animals, Ayres was not regarded by the college authorities ns "d'sereet." Although he never volunteered Information to any of the Investigators, and although he contributed in no way to their report, the college authorities blamed him for certain “leaks" concerning the cruel treatment of dogs and he was discharged. He was not accused of disloyalty to h!s employers. He was told that as the college was not going to conduct any operations on dogs this guirimemr. Ills services would no longer be required. WIFE SICK; UNABLE TO WORK. Since that time another janitor has been assigned to his place and dogs are being used in the college just as they were when he was tHere.

The Well Dressed Woman By GLORIA SWANSON. Star In Paramount Pictures. We started wearing lace In small quantities to help the European women who had been financially stricken by the war, but this summer we are wearing it just for pure Joy, because we love ft, aud because It is smart. I have anew lace dress, not a dress draped with lace, but entirely made of lace, and it is not white nor black, but brown. All the French dressmakers are using dyed laoes, brown and gray mostly, but lately I have seen gayer colors, henna, green and red. And they are making them, not over a heavy silk that destroys all of their grace and half of their beauty, but over soft, semi-transparent fabrics, chiffon aud Georgette. This one of mine is made with the v. ry long waist, the girdle of Georgette being drawn snugly about the hips. The blouse has a rather high neck aud short sleeves, while the underbodice is very low, making tbe frock acceptable for either formal afternoon or informal evening wear, a very useful and practical trick. The skirt is short and not very full, but Is made more formal and becoming by the addition of longer narrow panels of the lace. Os course. If you do not care for a frock made entirely of lace, there are plenty of ways of combining tt with a soft silk. There are sleeves of lace that fasten at the shoulder, fall away from the arms and are caught again at the wrist; frocks for evening that have a shawl drapery of lace, and skirts that are made with lace panels. And probably before the end of the season we shall be wearing the small black or white lace shawl of the almondeyed senorita.

IIN DIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 19,1921.

Ayres’ present unemployment is due to no fault of his own. The college had to have a scapegoat to be sponsor for the revelation of its treatment of dogs. The discharge of a janitor was a matter of no Importance to the University of Indiana. But it is a matter of importance to William Ayres ami it is Inconceivable that in all this city of Indianapolis there is not an employer who would give preference to a man who has fallen a victim to a desperate effort to cover up a medical school's lack of humane instincts. William Ayres can lie reached by call tng Circle 2051 and he is ready to accept any kind of honorable employment.
