The dog has no way Of estimating such
speeds. They are as beyond him as the
astronomical figures of the distance OF
the sun and the moon from the earth
are beyond us. We may say we under
stand, but actually we do not. How can
we? We have no means of comparison.
1t is exactly SO with regard to the dog
or squirrel or cat and the speeds of
moving automobiles, whether passenger
cars, trucks or motor busses.
Animals can gauge the speed of other
animals with accuracy. They have
millions Of years behind them to do
that. With inborn instinct the tiger
drops accurately on its prey. The timid
rabbit outruns the dog. The fox escapes
There Is nothing in animal nature,
however, which prepares a creature for
estimation Of such speeds as 40, 5O 60
miles an hour, to say nothing Of 80 and go.
Honestly, there is nothing in man, ex-
cept his mind, which enables him to be
any more accurate. Every one has had
the experience Of trying TO cross a street,
seeing some car approaching a block
away, to be forced to retreat to the curb
from which one started as the oncoming
vehicle makes such headway that one
realizes, sometimes almost too slowly,
that a continuance Of the cross would
bring car and pedestrian to the same
spot at the same time.
This is such an elemental proposition
that it would be needless to speak of it
until one stops to realize that many dog
owners seem to pay no attention to it
at ALL
Tl<Noc hi
for a tag give them the right to turn
an animal loose on the street. in an en-
vironment in which 1t must compete
with speeds of which it knows nothing
and by Nature can know nothing?
The common practice of chasing cars.
to which many good dogs are addicted
is all the more dangerous on account
of the severe case of traffic filters which
the National Capital. along with all other
cities, seems to be suffering with at this
time
Dog owners are mainly car owners or
far more dogs would be injured and
killed at this canine sport. But the sad
part Of 1t Is that this very fact of car
ownership. SO it seems to us, is what is
mainly responsible for the unusual
danger to dogs in the streets.
The other fellows dog. alas. does not
seem to be as dear as ones own. And
1t Is always the other mans dog. of
course which is run down The man
at the wheel going along briskly. as it
seems to him. is never at leisure to watch
dogs come and go. He passes all too
swiftly for that 1t is only the man
afoot who has the time to watch a dog
come along an entire block. practicing
the ancient rites of dogdom, suddenly
take a Whim TO cross the road-and
start TO cross. 1t is the pedestrian,
waiting who has the opportunity to
get excited at the narrow squeaks of his
unknown friend on four legs.
Four legs might seem to be better than
two in traffic, but the two extra feet
scarcely compensate for the lack OF
brains.
The dog owner ought to do that for
his pet. That he does not do it, in all
too many cases, is evident on every street.
The buster and wider and therefore
more dangerous the thoroughfare, the
more dogs. it seems.
When will these dog owners wake I'D
to the fact that they are living in 1885,
not 1905?

Italy the AggressOr.

BY action destined to ring down the
ages as historic, the Council Of the
League of Nations has unanimously
found Italy guilty of war under the
covenant. Tomorrow, more or less auto
matically, the Assembly will discuss and
decide upon the sanctions to be imposed
upon the aggreSSor nation as penalty
for breaking the peace in violation OF
its obligations to settle dispute with
a fellow member of the League by arbltral
means. Italy stands pilloried before the
world as an outlaw, mankindS public
enemy No. l.
Now that judgment has been pro-
nounced, the exact nature of punitive
measures remains to be determined. 1t
has been well understood in advance that
these will, in the first instance, take the
form of rigid embargo on all economic
and financial relations with the Fascist
realm. Mussolini and his people will be
debarred from access to the money
markets of League states, as they are
already denied access to credits in the
United States by virtue of the johnson
act penalizing nations in default on
American Indebtedness. Exports of every
sort to Italy from League countries and
imports from her will cease. She will
be subjected in effect to a two-way
boycott.
The purpose OF economic sanctions is
to deprive a covenant breaker of the
capacity to continue War-making in so
far as it depends upon foreign supplies.
If economic measures do not suffice to
cause an aggreSSor nation to deSlst from
war. the covenant contemplates even
tual military sanctions, or armed force.
Mussoini has said that Italy would meet
economic pressure in a spirit of Spartan
sacrifice. Military sanctions, he de-
clared, would be resisted by military
measures. The Italians, in other words,
would go to war to oppose them.
The hour has at length arrived when
theories, threats, boasts and words in
general must give way to deeds and con-
ditions. II Duce's obvious purpose is to
achieve substantial military successes in
Ethiopia before the machinery of sane
tions can be effectively set in motion,
or before Italy has begun seriously to
feel the pinch of ironclad trade isola-
ton. Then, facing the League with his
main objectives in East Africa attained,
MuSsolini might feel that Italian
"honor" was sufficiently vindicated to
justify him in stacking arms and yield
ing to Genevas demand for stoppage of
bloodshed. Time, from the standpoints
of both the League and Italy, is of the
essence.
Unless the League SuccumbS to an
other attack of its chronic malady-pro-
astination-sanctions should promptly
demonstrate their efficacy, or other
wise, to check Italian defiance and the
threat it offers to peace far beyond the
jungles of Ethiopia. With Great Britain
and France in virtual agreement for
common military and naval action in
the event that League powers are driven
to such extremes, Mussolini must real
lie that he faces Europe united and
able to thwart the menace he presents.
For assuring that it is not to 60 un-
challenged-that stern collective re-
sstance," in Britains words, is ready to
meet and crush it-civilization is the
Leagues debtor.

Francis Wilson.

Following so soon after the death of
his friend, De Wolf Hopper, the passing
OF Francis Wilson brings regret particu-
larly poignant to thousands Of "old
timers among patrons of the theater.
The departure of two great comic
geniuses within the span of single
month prompts the thought that an era
in the history of the stage is drawing
to q close. No candidates are available
to take their place. Fashions have
changed, new and vastly different
school of clowns has appeared. The vet
erans and the period to which they be-
longed are gone. In their stead, the
public has Mickey Mouse.
But for the men and women who were
young when Mr.. Wilson was in his prime
the occasion Of his final curtain will
stir warm and grateful memories. He
was a star when intelligence was an
imperative necessity in an eminent
comedian. His art, like that of Joseph
Jefferson, was quick and free, spontane-
Gus and richly personal. He was not
type. Neither was he q copyist, and
never once did he consciously stoop to
accommodate q moronic gallery. Sub
tlety was his forte. He could express a
thought by mannerism Of walking, deli
cately but colorfuIly absurd, and he
aimed to provoke smiles Of appreciation
rather than what are appropriately
known as horse laughs"
Naturally enough, he loved books, en-
joyed the friendship of literary crafts
men and now and again proved his

BONUS MEASURE
IS S|DETRACKED
Gets Temporary Setback in
Committee for Social
Security Program.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee decided today to sidetrack the
bonus temporarily in order to expedite
action on the Presidents social Sc
curity program.
Chairman Doughton said there was
no intention to prevent considera-
ton of the bonus, but that other leg
islation would have to be acted upon
first.
It was generally agreed by the COM
mittee that when the bonus was taken
up, extended hearings would not be
necessary.
Possibility Of calling a caucus of
House Democrats to decide on the
type Of bonus legislation to be pushed
will be discussed tonight at a con-
ference called by Representative Pat
man, Democrat. Of Texas. author Of
| one of the bills now before Congress.
A number Of members are consider
ing the caucus idea with the hope of
binding all Democrats to vote for a
| particular bill.
A caucus could be forced If 25 of
the 32l Democrats signed a petition
asking for one. II two-thirds of those
attending such a meeting Endorsed a
| specific bill, all other Democrats who
had not made previous commitments
would be bound to vote for it.
The belief bill would be presented
| which "all bonus advocates will sup
port" was expressed by Representa-
tive Vinson, Democrat, Of Kentucky,
who introduced the American Legion's
plan calling for payment of the ap-
proximately $2,000,000.000 out of
Treasury funds. Patman's bill calls
for payment with new currency.
Vinson disclaimed any real divi-
sion," explaining the method of pay
ment was the major difference.
Frank NJ Belgrano, jr., national
commander of the American Legion,
said there was a MISUNDERSTANDING
| among veterans" as to provisions of
the Vinson bill.
THE bill does not specify the
method by which the Congress shall
make the necessary funds available" :"
Belgrano said.
THE Legion has no quarrel with
the proponents Of any other bills now
before Congress asking for the i'm
mediate payment of the adjusted serv-
ice certificates, but desires to comply
with the recommendation adopted at
its last national convention"
