Gas Masks Provided for
Dogs, Horses in Britain

LONDON.-Dogs and horses will
have gas masks, but British cats
must depend on their surplus lives
during air raids in the next war.
The Royal Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals discour-
ages any attempt to fit cats with
a gas mask, saying the suffering
caused by a mask is worse than
that caused by an air raid.
Being left to their fate, however.
will not worry the cats of this hardy
isle as they are made of stern stuff.
One cat in London recently was
given up for dead after house fire
that suffocated three dogs and the
canary. The cat was left in the
garden for later burial but seven
hours afterward it completely re-
vived.
Z Those who went through the air
raids during the world war recall
that their cats readily adapted
themselves. When the bombs start
ed dropping, the cats were the first
to dive for the cellar and the last
to come out.

It.. is generally agreed that the

which in the nature of things would
encourage division into factions.
The President was bumped on a

and he made some surprising come
backs, especially after the rejection

On these coming primaries and
election will depend the temper of
his fourth congress. H Roosevelt
should win in most of the purge"
states, particularly Maryland, Geor-
gia, South Carolina, and Nevada;
if his senate leader, Alben w. Bark
ley.-as seems likely-wins his con-
test for denomination, and if the
Democratic loss of senate and house
seats is held to a reasonable figure,
the next congress will probably be
the most docile any President has
ever had in his seventh and eighth
years.
