sUNsHADEs FOR LUCKY DOGS
innovation That Was Brought About
by the Protracted Spell OF Un-
Usually Hot Weather.

One Of the quaintest innovations of
the recent heat wave in London was
the introduction of sunshades for
dogs. These consisted of light crepe

the animals necks by light wire
strands.
The lucky animals whose masters
or mistresses bought the sunshades
did not seem so pleased with them as
perhaps the donors had hoped, re-
marked London Answers.
one dog found the heat so Oppres-
sive that he sought the shelter of a
railway tunnel on the Highbury tube.
Eere he was, however. 50 frightened
by the continual passing of trains
that he shrank into a dark corner and
remained there for two days, until
his master, on the information of a
railway man, fetched him.
Although sunshades for dogs made
their first appearance, there was a
strange absence OF the straw hats
that horses used to wear before the
war. Have horses been so hardened
by the great campaign that they do
not need the consideration that dogs
get?

The tests show, however, that the
impact depends largely upon the kind

tires cause the least damage TO the

impact increases with the speed OF

desirable to limit speed by strict reg

would make higher speed permissible.
The tess of the bureau of public
roads have pointed the way to more

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR SAYS
AMERICA SHOULD NOT BE
ASKED TO CANCEL DEBTS

Ambassador Ricci of Italy, now in
his home country on. leave of absence,
has just given an interview to Italian
newspapers, warning them that Europe
must not expect the United States to
cancel the allied debts The text Of
Ambassador Ricc statement, as issued
by the Italian embassy, is as follows;
IAN attempts to obtain cancellation
of the financial obligations made by
Europe with United States viii remain
a vain illusion and useless rhetoric, No
American political leader could ever
entertain solution which would be
entirely to the advantage of European
interests unless he really meant to sup
press himself and his party.
ITO forfeit European loans would re-
suit in heavy burden on the United
States budget. which would signify a
greater and heavier taxation on the
people. 1t would seem evident that a
much more profitable attitude could be
drawn by debtor nations in abstaining
from proposing demands that seem inn
possible for any state to grant,
This expression Of the Italian ambas-
sador is the only one of it's kind issued
by any responsible European official
either in this country or in Europe 1t
is the first statement emanating from
European circles recognizing the fact
that the United States sees no sufficient
reason why it should cancel loans made
during the war. and thereby add to the
taxation burdens already carried by the
American public. On the other hand.
there is widespread propaganda ema-
mating from European circles. principal
~ from British sources. having for it's
purpose the creation of sentiment in
the United States for the cancellation
Of the debts owed this country by
European nations.
