THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The rats that live under the garage
have dug themselves In for the winter.
Driven away from . neighbor's by
intensive rafting experts and operations,
the animals have taken refuge elsewhere.
Perhaps the creatures need not have
feared the elements, but time alone will
show whether or not they were mistaken
In their selection of new home.
It is not the fashion to look upon rats
with tolerance, certainly. There can be
no doubt of their mischief, and worse,
to say nothing of the plain fact that
tunneling beneath ones garage is not
desirable.
Yet rat is q rodent, and all rodents
are interesting When we think Of this
great family, which holds the squirrel
and the rabbit, We may look with equa-
nimity upon the long slender tailed
kinds, including the mouse.
There are other mole-like creatures
to say nothing of the members Of the
mole family, which seem to be . sort
Of cross between mouse and mole.
Cats are forever bringing up one Of
these curious crosses, with the great
interest which Is displayed by the feline
tribe in the catch.
The rats are among the many crea-
lures which have come to eat of the
cracked corn, oats and the seeds which
have been put out for the birds.
1t is really variety Of creatures, in
cluding the wild birds. some 40 species
in all; dogs, cats, mice, squirrels, and
now the rats.
We should make it plain that no rats
have been seen to date, but they must
be there. for surely nothing else could
completely cover such a mass of ferns
as had been all along the back Of the
garage.
Ferns often are hard to establish; one
may take it i'll of the rodents that they
had chosen this particular spot to dig in
for the winter. No doubt the plants
are beneath the pile of earth thrown up.
The rats may be said to have mulched
them, If they have not killed them.
There can be little doubt that some of
the doings Of the creatures, in the wild,
are not injurious to man In the least,
but rather helpful, and this whether the
animal is one which meets with mans
approval or not.
The coyote, for instance, will impress
some as very much abused creature.
Its scavaging has been held against it,
but this seems to be one of natures
provisions, too.
1t must be kept in mind that nature
knows nothing of mans soap-and-water
cleanliness. Her cleanliness is that of
wind and wave and motion.
little dirt, little dust, a little
sOiling-
These are part Of nature. surely. and
nseparable from her wild animals.
One thing held against the house cat
by those who do not like this creature Is
that 1t is really not clean.
1t is not, in the p-and water sense;
and the use of such ablutions will de-
stroy the skin and coat health and
render the creature as subject to colds
as man, the clean one.
The dog is known the world around
for what has been called, in recent years,
that doggy odor. A clean cloth wiped
over the average dog will show a great
deal more SCOT than may be collected
from the coat OF a cat

Labor Board Probe.

The pending request for Senate in
quiry into policies of the National Labor
Relations Board focuses attention on
another Of the numerous situations
where a clearing OF the atmosphere"
should have salutary effect on the rela-
tlonshlps between Government, labor
and industry.
Administering q law which was in
tended to assure to labor the privileges
OF collective action, the Labor Board al
most automatically inherited the dis
favor of that segment of industry un-
friendly to organized labor. And with
the labor movement splitting bitterly in
the same year in which the board began
to function, it was not long before the
tribunal found itself under fire by the
very group which had most loudly hailed
its creation.
Even admitting the virtual inevita-
bility Of the resultant criticism, the in
tensity and range Of complaints against
the board have been such as to make
it advisable that some impartial and
critical review OF its policies be UNDER
taken.
All phases of labor relations have be-
come important political issues as both
industry and labor, generally speaking
follow policy OF aiding their friends
and Furnishing their enemies. In the
glare Of publicity bound to attend the
open exchange of charges and testimony,
1t would be inevitable that the inquisi-
tors would be giving thought to "the
record" This might, of course, impair
the efficacy Of the inquiry, but 1t is the
risk inherent in every congressional
probe" The proposed Labor Board in
quiry merits statesman-like approach
rather than mere "mud-slinging."

Contrast.
A window and an open fire
What more in life could heart desire?
The window frames picture strange,
Where, Ger the snoWdrift, shadows range
In silver silence, as the moon
Wanes slowly, and is lost, too soon.
And then, unto the mounting blaze,
With genial eye you turn your gaze.
For here is hope and hearty cheer,
In contrast to the winter drear.
A dreamland crystallized in white,
Close by hearth fire burning bright.
In contrast lies the greatest worth
OF all the pleasures here on earth.

Senator Holt, Democrat, of West
Virginia expressed the hope today the
administration would not use the new
Misunderstanding program to return
"favors" to corporations which bought
campaign books in 1886 and 1887.
The youthful West Virginian filed in
the Congressional Record list of corr
porations and corporate officials he
said had purchased the books.
Receipts, Senator Holt said, totaled
ts4s,s12.
Ter7ning the sales "a very question:
able method of obtaining campaign
contributions" Senator Holt asserted
that through their contributions many
economic royalist" foes of the ad-
ministration had become angels" of
the party in power
1T is quite shocking to see money
being accepted from some firms which
the administration claims to be so bit
ter anti-labor that they have been
charged with violating the Wagner Act
and being hostile to unions" Senator
Holt added
Some firms who bought books at
outrageous sums do business with the
Federal Government. Other firms who
want to do business with the Federal
Government also purchased these
books. Firms receiving subsidies di-
rectly. or indirectly, from the Federal
Government purchased these books,
many of which were autographed by
the President Of the United States"

MCCORMICK HUNT
Two of Searchers Fired on
by Man Who FIees-No
Trace of Heir.
BY the Associated Press.


ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, June 90.
--latest developments in the search
for Medill Mccormick only deepened
today the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of the 21-year-old Chi
cago publishing heir.
A single, unexplained gunshot and
an unidentified object in a remote
canyon were the meager clues held out
to searchers who began their seventh
day of combing the rugged Sandia
Mountains, into which the youth van
ished last Wednesday on a mountain
climbing expedition.
Shot Fired at Officers.
Patrolman William Murphy of the
Albuquerque city police reported a
mysterious man fired a shot at him
and Dick Montoya of nearby Berna-
lilo as they trudgcd yesterday through
the mountains
we got near enough to shout at
him, and he yelled back at u.s." said
Murphy, "but We could not make out
who he was"
The patrolman said the source of
the shot was man on a smaller
eminence near North Sandia Peak,
where the search for young McCor-
mick has centered since the body of
his climbing companion, Richard
Whitmer, was found there Thursday.
The bullet, Murphy said, passed mar
rowly over their heads and struck in
a canyon beyond.
DiscoIored Object Seen.
The other slender lead was supplied
by F. M. Froelicher, Colorado Springs
climber, who said an object, appar-
emily once white, but discolored by
recent rains. was seen in a canyon
behind North Sandia, opposite where
the search has been concentrated.
1t was spotted by Froelicher and
young Albert Simms, a nephew of
young McCormick's stepfather, as they
reconnoitered yesterday from the crest
of the Sandia Range. They planned
to investigate further today.
Neither incident could explain the
fact that no definite trace of the pub
fishing heir has yet been discovered
in an intensive search carried on by
forces ranging up to $50 men.
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick
Simms, the missing youths mother,
personally is commanding the hunt,
and others are uncommunicative.
No one in authority has expressed
any other theory than that young
McCormick-either dead, critically in
jured or wandering in a daze-is still
in the mountains.
