An Old Foe Fights F. r.

Arthur BallanClne, FORMER ASSIST
tant secretary of the treasury, has
been placed In charge Of research
at republican campaign headquar-
tiers in Chicago and Is now IN a
position to resume fighting out an
old grudge with Franklin d. Roose-
welt, who was one OF his classmates
at Harvard.
The two men were political en-
emies in university politics, and
Ballantine Is bitterly opposed to
Roosevelt today. Roosevelt led a
faction Of "aristocrats," Ballan-
tine a group known as the "alley
cats"
In the last year the two men
fought 1t out for the editorship Of
the Harvard Crimson and the per-
manent presidency Of the class.
Roosevelt won both times.
Spies on the Job

ed and accepted jobs with the re-
publican national committee, there
to unburden themselves Of what
might or might not be called official
secrets.
Others have stayed on, suppos-
edly to supply the opposition with
information covertly. Confidential
documents, or copies Of them,
keep turning up In the hands Of
republican publicists.
The same sort Of thing happened
four years ago, but not on such a
large scale. Republicans had been
In power ~ years and had few
enemies In administration ranks.
Nor were there so many new
agencies, with a certain proportion
OF fumbles, Offering such a fertile
field for espionage.

claim that Roraback's address Of

Psychology Aids G. 0. P.

Republicans are cleaning up in
the psychological trial heats" and
democrats do not underestimate the
Importance Of that.
Ordinarily the successive occur
renee of the 2 to 1 Landon vic
tory in the first few thousand
votes Of the Literary Digest's ma
tiOnaI poll and the big republican
victory which nearly everyone has
anticipated In Maine would be
enough to Undue the G. o. p. lead
ers with complete confidence and
fill New Dealers with dismay.
That isn't really the case, but
democrats are likely to have night
mares If the Digest poll figures
don't quickly come down to point
where Landon and Roosevelt will
be running somewhere near even.
Meanwhile, however, Roosevelt
leaders are admitting that we've
got to get over those two psyche

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE pneu-
monia rate from presidential in
augurals is going to take Jump
and weather hazards for these spec
tacles will re materially increased.
That's one of the thoughts oc-
curing to off1cials who already are
making plans for the first January
Inauguration. Thanks to the Norris
slam duck" constitutional amend
ment, the winner of the November
election will be inugurated January
20.
Washington, frequently has sub
stantial billiards. in January, and
tn, chances Of bad weather then
are much better than for March 4,
the old inauguration date.
A design for the platform, which
as usual will be built out from the
portico on the east front Of the
Capitol, already has been drawn
by David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol.
Congress will meet Januard 5.
Because Is days wouldn't have
been enough to organize inaugu-
raj preparations and get the plat
form up, congressional leaders
thOughtfuIly legislated authorize
ton and $35,OOO for expenses be-
fore they adjourned in June.
1t also appropriated $4,000 for
District Of Columbia officials to
provide for safety and authorized
erection Of grandstands on federal
land downtown.
AS far as can be learned, neither
the New Dealers nor the Landon-
ties are making any elaborate pre-
paration for a big celebration pend
ing election. But, blizzard or no
blizzard, you can be sure of big
doings in Washington on and about
January 20.

That light was moving about now,
high up near the top of that great
tree. The hunter who had climbed
up there was searching for the Coon
he was sure was there somewhere.
There was a sudden shout.

It WAS true. The big Coon had 40.

the tree and was going down to face
that Dog and the hunters below. No
one dared shoot because Of the man
above in the tree. A little more than
halfway down the big Coon's cour-
age gave out. He hesitated. Then
he went out as far as he could on a
limb.
Don't shoot" shouted the hunter
in the tree. "Ill shake him of. Have
the Dog ready"
OF course Bobby Coon didn't under
stand all this, but he knew by the
sounds that the other Coon had been

Bobby, looking down, could see a
light moving about. 1t was from a
lantern one Of the hunters carried.
Then he saw flashes of light moving
upward. A hunter was climbing that
great tree, and now and then using
his fiashlight. Bobby shivered more
than ever as he watched for the
flashes of that light. He wondered
what the other Coon was doing. Prob
ably he was trying to hide where there
really was no place for hiding. What
else was there for him to do? Bobby
shivered again as he imagined how
that other Coon must be feeling.

Raptores, the scientific name given
to that group of predatory birds char
acterized by carnivorous habits, keen
ness of vision and great powers Of
fight, have long been hunted down
by man, until many of the species
are today threatened with extinction.
At Pinnacles National Monument,
California, somewhat varied group Of
these birds of prey have found sanctu-
ary along a series of rugged cliffs in
an isolated and seldom visited part Of
the monument. Several sparrow hawks,
red-tail hawks, a pair of prairie fall
cons, numerous turkey vultures and
a pair of duck hawks-long celebrated
in story as peregrine falcons-have
been noted. Scientists of the National
Park Service attach much Importance
to this congregation Of nesting rap
torial birds and are extending them

Potted plants should be given
as little water as possible, with

Use a mild soap and lukewarm
water to clean painted woodwork
and dry as quickly as possible.
Strong soap and hot water
remove the gloss from paint.
It is best to drain fat through

away for future use. Thus all
food particles are removed and
