Ships SPECIMEN
OF DUCK HAWK
SENT BY DEMERITT TO CAP.
TAIN MEREDITH AT BOON
TON, NEW JERSEY

Superintendent w. w. Demeritt
of the lighthouse department yes
terday shipped by express to Cap
tain r. L. Meredith at Boonton, n.
J., fine specimen of duck hawk,
to be trained in the sport of fall
conry. Mr.. Demeritt states that
the duck hawk is true falcon.
The shipment was made on the
Steamship Cuba and the crate with
the hawk is to be sent from Tam
pa direct to Captain Meredith.
While the S. S. Cuba was pulling
out of the harbor Mr.. Demeritt
found that another duck had been
captured in his traps at the Fort
Taylor grounds.
Four marsh hawks were also
captured, banded and released.
These. hawks, while formidable
looking, are not rapid enough
to capture birds on the wing, and
therefore prey on those which are
caught in traps.
They are also destroyefs of
vermin and death to mice and 9TH
er animals which are drop de-
stroyers, it is said, and for that
reason the marsh hawk is caught
banded and released.

BORAH'S STATUS
in CAMPAIGN Is
QUITE FULFILLING
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO
WHICH PRESIDENTIAL CAN
DIDATE WILL PROFIT MOST
IN ACTIVITIES

Bv PRESTON GROVER
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a
Which candidate, Landon or Foose.
welt, is likely to reap most bene.
fit from the part Senator Borah
plays in this campaign?
He said when he left the Re.
publican convention, disappointed
ever Landon's surprise telegram
that he had never bolted the tick.
ct. Now, answering an inqciry By
Senator gDsvis, Pennsylvania Re.
publican, Borah affirmss that he
has mot bolted."
But samples of his campaign
utteranccs in Idaho tend tc leave
the impression he is following a
course not far from that of 1882
when he did not bolt, but did moi
help Hoover.
The situation is different now,
however, in that Mr.. Borah must
campaign FOR his own reelection.
Then he stood On the sidelines en-
tircly.
Material the "double-duty po-
litical thinkers are studying Sc
riously includes segments of a
speech Bo-ah made at Meridian, a
little dairy town outside Boise,
usually selected by the senator
for one Of his most important cam
'paign speeches.
There he said, first, that he was
against the reciprocal trade treaty
program. That was in keeping with
the Republican platform (Borah
insisted on that plank.
Seen Out For Self
New Deal ears must nave prick
ed up when he sid 1.-THE problem
of providing relief had to be met,
the people had to be fed-of course
President Roosevelt was justified
in spending large sums of public
money" But, Borah added:
''The Republican party would
have done the same thing if it
had been in power and had known
conditions" Then he whetted his
acdience's temper by commenting
that he did not know chow much
of the money that was spent was
wasted"
Best information is: Borah Will
be out campaigning largely for
himself. He finds ample reason
to stay in Idaho.
Washington Watching
Idaho has one of the half dozen
senatorial contests which Washing
ton will watch closely election
night. What happens to Borah
is important, nevis. Two recent
developments have encouraged
Idaho Republicans, who are hope
full of Borah's reelection and less
hopeful of giving Landon the
states electoral votes.
First: q In the primary, Borab
was opposed by Byron Defenbach,
former state treasurer, who, when
defeated, became Townsend
candidate for the senate. Now he
has withdrawn, throwing his sup
port to Borah. 1t Infatuated Dem
ocrats who had hoped he would
split the Republican vote, and de-
lighted Republicans who feared he
might.
Second: The Idaho supreme
court reversed a 24-year-old de-
cision and permitted the union
party ticket with Mr.. Lemke to
file. Most observers have agreed
Lemke's campaign would draw
most from Democratic ranks.
Recovered from primary cleo
ton fatigue and illness after rest
ing in an Idaho spa, Governor
Ross, Borah's Democratic oppon-
ent, will campaign as vigorously
as Borah. He has an effective
party machine, but is himself try
ing to heal a breach within the
party ranks.

JAPAN, AT LEAST, GAINS BY ETHIOPIAN
 WAR

Whether Signor Mussoli- nj ever succeeds in getting his shoulder firmly under the white mans burden in Africa, he at least seems certain to give the Japan csc a powerful boost in their drive across Asia.
 This isn't at all what the Italian dictator set out to do, but the Japanese are great people for making hay while sun shines; and the Italo-Ethiopian war con stitutes, from the Japanese standpoint, one of the most noble outpourings of sum- shine that has been seen since the World war.
 The cables from China have been carrying signifi- cant dispatches of late Step by step, the Japanese have been edging forward in their plan to bite off anoth- CT chunk of the worlds most ancient nation.
 Now all this, as Nathaniel Peffer points out in the cur rent issue of Asia magazine is a direct result of Musso- lini's drive on Ethiopia.
 The European nations do

that most of the radio nois- es were caused by a poor type of wiring and to a lighting system that is not grounded. "The difference between interference and set noises may be determin ed by leaving everything else as it was with the set turned on and removing the aerial connection. If the noises cease it is out side interference, but if they persist, though dim, the noise is in the set it. self" he said.
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-01-10

The moral lesson in any such settlement as that would be definite proof hat the way for a needy nation to get what it wants is to take a couple of hand grenades and go calling on the fellow across the street.
 Obviously, if an aggress- or is to be bought off by a tender of the loot he was af ter in the first place, the effort to restrain interna- tional banditry has collaps- ed utterly.
 Mussolini may never con quer the Philippians, but he is making Japanese con- quest of China a great deal easier and more certain. And MT Peffer, veteran ob- server of oriental trends, remarks dryly:
 If 1 were a Japanese gen. eral, I should light incense before the Duce's portrait in one of the more furioso presentiments he loves so well. o-EXchange.

not want to see Japan sub- jugate China. Robbing the Chinese is a game tradition ally. reserved for whites. But Mussolini has given Europe something to think about much closer home.
 The merry old game of robt;ng the African has al- ways been a closed game, too, and when an outsider begins to muscle in on it, the players have no e-es for anything that may hap pen somewhere else.
 This constitutes opportun ity for Japan, and the Jap aneSe have never yet been known to miss an opportun ity when it was offered to them.
 But the opportunity is even wider than that. Sup pose that the league does finally work out a peaceful solution of the Ethiopian tangle. Every suggestion yet made for such a Solu- tion calls for the surrender byEthiopia to Italy of much wealth in the way of land and resources.
 The holdup, in other words, is to be stopped by having the victim hand ov- CT his watch and half of his bankroll, anyway.

An exceptional feature of the case is that the victim, Giacomo Ruocco, did not report the holdup, in which he lost $21.80, until 12:45 o'clock this morning. Detective Lieutenant William Pollard was as- signed to investigate the case today. Ruocco told the police that he was afraid" and ashamed" to report the holdup earlier.
 Used Auto
 At 2:30 o'clock Saturday morning, while Ruocco and his son were mak- ing the bread for the daily delivery, two men walked in and one of them asked for loaf of bread. Almost at once the other holdup man pulled g gun and told Ruocco and his son to put up their hands, which the latter did. They took $21.80 off the person of the elder Ruocco and searched the son, finding nothing of value. They then backed out of the bakery, warning the two work men not to make any outcry and not to tell the police. A few seconds later the two bakers heard car start up at the end of the alleyway leading from the bakery to Union street.
