CENTER OF Mr
Rome, Jan. 27—The success of
the project for the creation at Rome
of a-; international worlld center of
art U now fully assured. The "art |
city' which wiil consist of perma
nent schoois and art galleries erec
ted by the leading nations of the
worll will be on th* site of the j
art exposition held at Rome 3 years
ago. Both Italy and England have j
now completed their permanent |
structures while Germany, Russia j
and Argentina Republic have just J
closed negotiations for theirs. The;
building which the United States i
erected at the time of the exposi-!
tion for its art exhibit and which
was later presented by the United |
States government to the city of'
Rome is to be taken over by Servia
for its permanent galley and school, j
Owing to tiie fact that the Ameri
can art academy at Rome is now '
eibn£ housed in the magnificient i
build.ng erected for it by J. P.
Morgan on the famous Janiculum j
Hill, the United States probably will
not have a permanent palace of its •
own in the "art city".

Berlin, Jan. 27—That the fam
ous German "police dogs" are a
failure in the tracking and captur
i -.g cf criminals and that their ser
vices have been much over-rated, is
the report of Lieutenant of Police
Most, director of the police dog
bleeding and training station near
Eitrausberg.
Lieutenant Host's testimony is
corroborated by Dr. Zell, director of
the Zoological Garden in Berlin.
Both declare that the police dogs are
of little value in police work in the
big cities. Fifty tests made at the
instance of the Ministery of Inter
ior, proved that the dogs held the
trail r-f the quarry in but a compar
atively small number of cases.

down to 60 below, and while we
are prone to kick at the wind when
wc have to face it, we should smile
with, content at the kind of weath
