Everyday Cooking Miracles

Lady, could you spare a hungry
man a griddle cake? You can't ex-
pect a fellow to stay upstairs and
get dressed while you're down in the
kitchen piling up fluffy, golden
brown griddle cakes. But griddle
cakes are like a magnet-they draw
a crowd quicker than a fire engine
or a patent medicine man.

A lot Of drivers who thought the
other fellow would grant them the
right-of-way found out differently.
Others thought there wouldn't be
anybody coming over the top of the
hill. but there was. Still others
thought they could pass on a curve
because surely no one would be COM
ing from the other direction. But
|therewas. The list OF examples could
go on and on. The essential point to
remember in driving is, don't take
anything for granted.

Housekeeping is a hazardous oc-
cupation. More than 100000 fatal
accidents occur annually in this
country. And between one-quarter
and one-third of them happen right
in u homes. Careful investiga-
ton has shown that very few such
accidents are unavoidable. A large
percentage of them are due to neg
ligence and carelessness; and as such
they could be anticipated and avoid
ed or prevented.
These hazards in housekeeping
fall into four classifications:
First: Mechanical (due to falls,
slipping, ladders, cuts, etc.)
Second: Fire, (from accumula-
lions of rubbish, spontaneous COM
bustion, carelessness with fuels and
matches, etc.,.
Third: Electrical (shock, short
circuit, defective apparatus, etc.).
Fourth: Miscellaneous (poisons,
polishing and cleaning materials,
etc.).
Spring cleaning season is an x
cellent time to check over your
home, study the risks and dangers
and how to prevent them. The
home may be considered on the
same status as the industrial shop
or factory from the standpoint of
accident and fire prevention. The
housekeeper is the executive of the
home and should keep in mind that
prevention is always the efficient
and economical guide in matters of
safety and health. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth more than a pound
of cure.
The coat with fly-front (buttons
concealed under a stitched panel of
cloth) is a new idea for spring. One
particular good model of this type
comes in soft navy blue wooden.

IN PRESIDENT RACE
Neither Roosevelt Nor Landon

Imposing Plurality.
BY A. N. MORGAN,

SANTA FE, N. Mex, October a.
With the campaign entering its final
stage, New Mexico appears to be any
body's choice for President. It is
agreed on all sides that the race will
be close between President Roosevelt
and ALI Landon. Either may get the
States three electoral votes, but Who
ever wins will not have an imposing
plurality.
For the Democratic State ticket, the
outlook is not so optimistic. Roosevelt
is the key to the situation. If he car
ries the State by q big plurality (and
that does not appear nkely) the DEM
ocratic State ticket will 60 in.
It is conceded that the State ticket
will trail the President at some dis
tance If 1t is not actually tagged.
At Republican State headquarters 1t
Is contended that New Mexico will be

cast Is accurate there is little hope for

MAKING Up MINDS
Battle Between Landon and
Roosevelt Centers
in Cities.
BY C. C. CLIFTON,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

DES MONIES. Iowa. October "a
Iowa's presidential vote hung In the
balance as the campaign swung into
its final week.
The outcome was looked upon by
impartial observers as so uncertain
many who have long records for ac-
curate forecasting were unwilling to
make a confident prediction.
An unusual situation prevails in the
State, and it accounts for the inability
of experienced dopsters as well as
the major candidates of both parties
and the party managers to feel sure.
An abnormally large number OF vot-
ers have not made up their minds.
This Is unusual in itself. But even
more strange Is the unsettlement of
minds that is reported generally.
Voters, who two weeks ago, had de-
cided whether to vote for Landon or
Roosevelt, have gone back on the
fence.
Battle for City Vote.
The battle between Landon. who
has an edge in total vote in the ma
tional polls and in most of the local
polls, and Roosevelt is between the
city vote, of which Landon has
majority, and the rural vote, of which
Roosevelt has the majority.
Republicans feel that, If they can
hold Roosevelt to a small lead in the
country, Landon will overcome the
country lead in the cities and small
towns. Democrats are pinning their
prediction Of victory for Roosevelt
upon the farm vote and breaking into
the cities and towns with the w. P. A.
and relief roll vote.
The most comprehensive straw poll
of farm sentiment only taken In Iowa
is that by the Farm Journal of Phila-
delphia. This poll gives Roosevelt so
per cent of the rural vote. Interviews
with farmers. obtained by reporters
for the Des Moines Tribune. support
the Roosevelt favoritism on the farms.
Lemke Ceases to Figure.
Landon. however. received SO per
cent of the vote cast for President
in a Farm journal poll taken at the
Iowa State Fair, in which both urban
and rural voters participated.
William Lemke has ceased to figure
in the Iowa outcome aside from a
few districts in which he will not
control the final result.
Republicans expect to win three
congressional seats while holding the
three they have, and Democrats do
not expect to lose more than two.
Three Iowa congressional districts
are expected to go Democratic on
President without much question.
Three others are as certain to 60 Re-
publican. OF the other three in doubt,
two are likely to 60 Republican and
one Democratic.
Within the last week. Democrats
privately have reduced the claim of
carrying Iowa for Roosevelt to 10000
votes, and Republicans are sticking
to $4,000 as their claimed margin.
What the State will do is anybody's
guess.

HARRISBURG, Pa, October "a
Pennsylvania swings into the final
week of the campaign with the rival
nominees making the State their
battle-ground.
Gov. ALI M. Landon will penetrate
the States two largest industrial Gen.
ters, where the size of his vote may
determine who wins Pennsylvania
SO electoral votes He will speak
Monday night in Philadelphia, where
the fight is close, and Tuesday in
Pittsburgh. which is admittedly Demo-
cratic. Col. Frank Knox will make
his fourth Pennsylvania campaign
speech Wednesday in Scranton. me-
tropolis Of the anthracite region,
which the Democrats expect to carry
President Roosevelt Thursday will
make his final effort to turn Penn
sylvania Democratic. New Deal
strategists this week debated in which
of four cities his final appeal could
be most effective-Scranton, which
Roosevelt is expected to carry, but
where his appearance might aid Rep
resentative Patrick J. Boland, Demo-
cratic whip in Congress, in stiff fight
for reelection; nearby Wilkes Barre,
where the President might do him
self more good; Harrisburg, where he
might be able to dent the opposition's
strength in Republican rural sections,
or Philadelphia, to offset any gain
Landon may make Monday in the
city which may swing the election.
Bank on Personal Appearances.
Managers of each party hope the
personal appearance of their stand
ard bearer in the populous centers
during the final prediction excite
ment, may shake Pennsylvania out
of the doubtful column and into their
own net.
Unless some such event starts a
surge toward one of the candidates,
it looks as if Landon and Roosevelt
will reach the home stretch in Penn
sylvania running so close judges may
call for cameras to decide the winner
at the finishing line.
Observers are of the opinion there
has been no worthwhile change in
campaign sentiment in almost six
weeks; that voters either had made
up their mind early in the campaign
or were awaiting major development
to stir them, and that, meanwhile, the
public had become jaded by such CAM
paigning.
Throughout the period of stagnant
or CONCEALED sentiment, it has virtu-
ally become agreed that Pennsylvania
results are so doubtful and likely to
be so close that the outcome may
hinge on the swing of less than l per
cent of the vote.
The only development in this period
has been one favorable to the Demo-
Gratis. 1t is disclosed that the Demo-
cratic registration is higher than even
their own leaders suspected, and that
the Republican registration lead, in
stead of the expected 100000, may not
be much in excess of 100000. Recent
elections have shown registration
leads are not always indicative Of

that Bleakley will not be able to over
come that lead upstate.
Both the national and State cam
paigns will be brought to a close in
this city next week with rallies that
will be attended by huge crowds.
President Roosevelt will conclude his
campaign for reelection with an ad-
dress at Democratic rally in Madison
Square Garden on Saturday October
3D. Gov. Lehman and many out
standing Democrats Of the Nation will
take part in the program. The Demo-
cratic high command is planning to
make this gigantic show. one that
will catch the attention of the entire
country and it is likely that more than
100000 persons will be jammed in the
area around the Garden to greet the
President when he arrives.
Gov. Landon and Mr.. Bleakley will
bring the Republican campaign to
climax at mammoth meeting in the
Garden, next Thursday night. The
Republicans believe they will bring out
even greater crowds than will Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Certainly, demand for
tickets to this meeting is great and it
is likely that 100, 900 persons would at
tend if that many could be accommo-
dated. Approximately one-fourth that
number can get into the Garden for a
political meeting.
The first big political show of the
week will be put on by the American
Labor party, which is working for
President Roosevelt and Gov. Lehman.
On Tuesday afternoon more than
100000 workers in the city's leading
manufacturing industries will quit
work at 3 pm. and converge upon the
Garden, where Mayor F. H. La
Guardia, Gov. Lehman, Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner and prominent labor
leaders will speak.
Smith Finishes Saturday.
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith will
bring his campaign against the New
Deal to a close in Albany next Sat-
urday night. when he will speak from
$50 to $50 O'Clock. The meeting will
be held in Harmanus Bleecker Hall,
the scene of several Democratic State
conventions under the auspices of the
New York State division of the Inde-
pendent Coalition of American Women.
1t was this organization which spon-
sored his Carnegie Hall address. dur
ing which he announced he would
vote for Gov. Landon.
So great is the interest in the elec-
ton this year in New York that it was
necessary to call special session of
the Legislature to extend the voting
hours from 6 am. to 6 pm. to 6 am.
to 9 pm. The Legislature met on
Tuesday afternoon and enacted this
change in the election laws.
Without this extension it would have
been impossible for all Of the regis
tered voters of the State to have cast
their ballots. The voting conditions
in New York City. where the regis
tration totals nearly 100000, would
have been impossible. The law grant,
ing the extension was backed by lead
ers of all parties.
This change in the voting time is
going to delay the tabulation Of the
ballots and should the election be
close it might be Wednesday morning
| before the winner of this States Al
electoral votes could be determined.

TENNESSEE'S INACTIVITY
IS WITHOUT PRECEDENT
BY THOMAS FAUNTLEROY,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. october "a
While Tennessee election officials and
ballot printers are busy getting ready
for election, the campaign is still with
out precedent for inactivity. Neither
Republicans nor Democrats are active
except in the cities.
Political observers generally agree
President Roosevelt will carry the
State by an Overwhelming majority.
This will mean election of the State
ticket as well as the congressional
ticket. with the exception of the two
districts in the East Tennessee noun
tains which have been represented by
Republicans almost since the days OF
Andrew Jackson.
In the cities, especially Memphis,
where this period of the campaign
usually finds many rallies and speeches,
everything Is quiet. Much of the cam
paign is being directed toward raising
money for the national headquarters

The campaign in Alabama was stirred
the past week by threats Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee to
keep list of all donors to Republican
funds with the intention of keeping
such persons out of Democratic prl-
maries in years to come.
This threat strikes particularly at
certain Democratic anti-New Dealers,

wealthy Alabama business men, 1t Is
said, have contributed to both causes,
not caring to antagonize the state
Democratic organization. although
