Scientists Study
Grouse Disease

The grouse disease that has made
the partridge literally rare bird In
sections OF the Northeast, where his
drumming was once as familiar as the
robins call, is proving a difficult prob
lem for science to unravel. Under the
direction of DR.. A. A. Allen of Cornell
University, research has been carried
on for three years with the object OF
locating the cause and possible cure OF
the scourge. Progress has been ham,
pered by the fact that ruffed grouse
are delicate and high-strung birds to
handle in the laboratory. Some OF the
difficulties can be appreciated from the
fairly typical results obtained by one
game preserve officer who succeeded IN
raising only so birds from 1874 eggs laid
in captivity.
Attempts made to identify the germ
Of the malady responsible for the large
losses throughout the Northern States
and Canada have not yet succeeded,
though vast amount OF useful infor-
nation has been collected concerning
the parasites that infect the birds and
certain fungus diseases that affect the
lungs. 1t has been found, the Cornell
ornithologist pointed out. that one
parasite produces changes in the blood

Platform Struggle Likely.
THE Democratic national convention
is faced this year not only with q mo-
mentous struggle over the nomination
of a. presidential candidate, but also
with struggles over its national party
platform. The wet and dry issue is
outstanding With Smith, wet, as its
leading candidate for the presidential
nomination, the Democratic party In
convention assembled must determine
whether Il will adopt dry plank, men,
tioning the eighteenth amendment and
declaring for national prohibition or
whether 1t will content itself with
mere declaration for the enforcement OF
all laws, including, Of course, the prohi-
hition laws. There will be determined
effort on the part OF the dry Demo-
Gratis to have drastic dry plank adopt
ed. The Smith people, on the other
hand. while not attempting to pledge
the party to repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, will support Law enforce
ment plank. Another issue which is 10

While many of the Democratic leaders
In the South, because they recognize
the ability of Gov. Smith and because
they believe he can make a strong night
in the big Eastern and Northern States,
are quietly acquicscing In the nornina-
ton of the New Yorker, the same &C
ouiescent spirit does not extend to
thousands of the rank and file OF the
Democrats in the South. There Is Bit
ter feeling against the nomination Of
a wet" a Tammany man and Cath
olic. This is found particularly among
the Democratic women. Whether the
Democratic voters who now insist they
will not vote for Smith but will rather
support the Republican nominee will
change their tune before next Noven-
her remains to be seen. Whether the
leaders will be able to curb this anti
Smith feeling at the Houston conven-
ton will determine the extent OF mar
mony in that gathering.
If All Smith is not nominated within
the first half-dozen ballots taken In the
convention, the prospects are for Bit
ter fight indeed. The Smith people are
confident he will be named not later
than the third ballot and some Of them
say he will make the grade on the first
ballot. All kinds of rumors are floating
about. One has it that Jesse Jones OF
Houston. who had more to do with
bringing the Democratic national con-
vention to the Texas city than any
other man, has his flag up and that he
might be a compromise candidate. The

a man from the South since the out
break of the Civil War. II 1t were going
to turn to Southerner this year 1t
might give the honor to Cordell Hull of
Tennessee or to Senator George OF
Georgia.
Any Course Uncertain.
One thing seems certain, If Smith is
denied the nomination at the Houston
convention the democracy OF the North
and East will be fighting mad. The
Irish American Catholics who have
been potent In Democratic politics In
these States, will not regard with COM
placency the refusal of the convention
to nominate one OF their own. They
will feel, they say that Smith has been
turned down because he is Catholic.
The Democrats are on the horns OF
dilemma If they name Smith as their
presidential candidate, they offend
many of the dry, Protestant members
of their party. If they refuse to nomi-
nate the New Yorker they are In dan
ger of arousing the luminosity of thou
sands Of Catholic Democrats who have
stood with the party for years.
Much, indeed, hangs on the decision
