Al the end OF baseball season.

There Just isn't any knowing

To shoot wild ducks a flying:
IT'S open season and the weather's
very fair
SO the duck. she goes scootin'.
Not approaching shootin':
II could make her feel way down
In the mouth"
For II she gets bird shot nher.
She'll provide some hunters din
ner.
Thus disturbing plans for travel-
ling down South.
And there's many a poor kitten
Who will soon he badly bitten
AS the quarantine for dogs cane
TO an end
That's exactly what will happen
When the cats and dogs start

For they never were the very best
Of friends.

ON THE REGION of Southern
ocean waters, Florida and South
ern California, bathers sometimes
get dermatitis which the natives
call salt water itch" 1t appears
most often in the armpits, coming
on at the same time on both sides.
1t is very unlikely that it is due to
salt water alone. More probable is
the explanation that it is due to
some minute animal or tropical
plant. The old timers and regular
bathers are not so subject TO it as
the visitors who acquire IL about
two to four weeks: this would
make it look as if the regular
bathers acquired an immunity.
The armpits are natural places
for fungus infections to grow:
the hair provides a good resting
place for them: the situation IS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

C. L.-"Plcasc answer if you
can have whooping cough and not
whoop. My little granddaughter
has had q bad cough for about
seven weeks, vomits, and it really
seems like whooplng cough but
there is no whoop."
Answer-Thc who0p Of whoop-
ing cough is due tC a spasm Of the
larynX after & prolonged spell of
coughing, so that the child sucks
in the breath, making the charac-
teristic noise. If this Spasm is not
present, there will be no whoop
but there MAY be whooping cough
Just the same. A child who has
been coughing for seven weeks
and vomits probably his whoop-
ing cough.

MEXICO EXPECTS
TROUBLE SUNDAY
Presidential Election to
Take Place; Threats of
Riots in Evidence

Mexico City, July 6-(UP)-Amid
reports and rumors Of imminent
revolution, the men and women Of
this republic of 100000 elect to-
morrow a successor to President La
FARO Cardenas, who today promised
that ballots and not bullets would
dictate the choice.
Cardenas, in a message to the
nation today, declared:
Mexico will demonstrate that
while a large part of the world Is
subjected to force and attacks on the
principle of liberty, Mexico finds no
need to use force or persecution
The election will install "the legiti-
mate successors of the incumbent
regime" The campaign was pure
ly democratic function" which
served to consolidate the institutions
of democracy Ito which the Mexi-
can people justly aspire"
General Cardenas was elected by
a majority of 2,185,000, July l, 1884.
Under the constitution, a president
can serve but one six-year term.
Since yesterday, ban on the sale
of all Intoxicating drinks, even light
beer, has been in effect and was
being strictly enforced. The ban con-
tinues through tomorrow.
Four candidates appear on the
ballts but the two chief rivals are
General Manuel Avila Camacho, can
didate of the Mexican revolutionary
(government) party, and General
Juan Andrea Almazan, an independ-
ent.
Camacho is supported by the pow
erful Mexican Workers Confedera-
tion-CTM-peasant groups, virtual
" all the state governors and rank
ing army officers, and is favored to
win.
General Almazan, one of the
wealthiest men in Mexico, draws his
support from many sections of the
middle class, business men and some
sections of the clergy opposed to the
governments alleged harsh attitude
to the church. Many devout church,
going peasants are said to be among
his followers.
The heated battle between these
candidates has forced the other two
contenders far into the background.
They are General Rafael Sanchez
Tapia, an independent, and Ramon
de Ia Paz. a druggist from Mexicali
in Lower California who entered
the race at the last moment.

The first train pictured on a
