DISLIKE OF
CATS
VHE instructive dislike which

THE instructive dislike which
l. all normal men feel toward
cats is explained by Albert Pay
son Terhune, the famous writer
of animal stories. "This feeling"
he says in an article in Liberty,
goes back to the dark ages of
the cave dwellers, an era from
which more of our instructive feel
ings date than we realize.
when night came on and dark
ness brought forth from the jungle
the beasts of prey to prowl around
the hut or the cave or the tree
top house of our ancestors. then
it was the cat, great and small.
that those ancestors most dreaded.
"That. I think, was when and
how man learned his instructive
hate for the cat tribe. Just as
that was the era when he learned
to fear the dark in which his
feline foes could see to attack and
in which he could not see to pro-
tect himself and his mate and
his brood"

Adolescent insanity generally
appears first about puberty, but
there are always a fair number of
children who can be marked from
an early age as likely to go that
way unless they are looked after.
The signs are: a lack of desire to
play with other children, exces-
sive day dreaming and a 'shut-in''
make up. Periods of marked de-
preston or excessive elation, for
which there is no physical reason,
are danger signs, especially If the
family is predisposed to manic

self and your child world of

SENATOR STANFIElD
TO BE INDEPENDENT
Defeated in Primary in May, Ore
gonian Charges Rivals Used
Unfair Tactics.

By the Associated Press
PORTLAND, Greg, September l.
Oregon faces a three-cornered race
for the United States senatorship at
the November election, as a result of
the announcement yesterday by Sem
ator Robert n. Stanf1eld that he
would be an independent candidate to
succeed himself
Stanfleld, who was defeated at the
May primary for the Republican
nomination, said he would accept
nomination which is expected to be
given him by group of supporters
at a special meeting. An independ-
ent candidate can be named in this
State by 100 voters. The Republican
nominee is Frederick Steiwer of Pen
dleton. and the Democratic candidate
is Bert E. Haney, former Shipping
Board member.
Stanfield declared he had been the
victim Of unfair tactics in the primary
campaign through the circulation of
"yellow tickets" which listed him
among candidates inferentially in
dorsed by the Ku Klux Klan. Stan
field has insisted that he and his
manager knew nothing of this ticket
until it had been circulated and that 1t
was fraudulently printed with the in
tent to injure him. He has demanded
official investigation Of this ticket and
grand juries Of two counties are eX-
pected to examine evidence.

PEOPLE SLEEP IN SQUARES.
Big Cracks Appear in Streets o

LONDON, September l R).-The
population of the Island Of Fayal in
the Azores Islands, lying 800 miles
off the coast Of Portugal, is living out
doors, terror stricken after yester-
days earthquake, which meager dis
patches describe as the worst in the
history of the archipelago
In Horta, the chief city Of Fayal,
most of the 5000 citizens spent the
night in the public square. Large
cracks have appeared in the streets
and the people were afraid to return
to their homes in the fear of renewed
shocks. Most of the city was de-
stroyed.
From advices thus far received by
way of Lisbon the Island Of Fayal Is
declared to be "a mass Of ruins. espe-
cially the city of Horta."
Lloyds reports that 10 persons are
known to have been killed In Horta
Neighboring islands in the archi-
pelago also were affected by the dis
turbance. The small village of Feteira
was swept by a tidal wave.
The first shock was felt at II o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t was followed
by a series Of other shocks. some Of
them of a minor nature.
The message sent by the mayor Of
Horta to the authorities in Lisbon said
the aspect Of Fayal Island and the
suffering of the victims were terrible
to witness.
Telegraphic communication with the
islands was badly hampered by the
disturbance and only meager informa-
ton was obtainable in Lisbon. where
during the afternoon and evening
the Central Telegraph offices were
thronged with persons having relatives
or friends in the archipelago. AL
though the Azores, which are Of vol
canic origin. frequently have been
shaken by earthquakes, the latest
phenomenon is said to have been the
worst ever experienced.
Greece also was shaken by strong
earthquake yesterday but 1t is said
the damage was not great and that no
casualties had been reported.
