1T MUST be remembered, in your
remaining representations and
your selections that while American
football is the greatest game ever
invented when it comes to a mixture
of spirit and skill, to condition, to
player interest and to crowd excite
ment, it is still an unbalanced game
in the way of just rewards.

People Cautioned Of
Rabbit Fever Danger
Disease Is Contracted Through
Open Scratches In Handling
Infected Animals

AS the hunting season opens, DR.. X.
H. Riley, director of the State Depart
ment of Health, warns hunters, mar
ket men, housewives and all others
who handle game, of the possibility Of
contracting "rabbit fever" or "tula-
remia," as the disease is also called,
from infected rabbits.
There were 49 cases and eight
deaths from the disease in the State
in 1889; 18 cases with two deaths
have been reported so far, during 1910.
Of the totals in 1889, 81 cases and all
Of eight deaths occurred in Balti-
more city; the rest in the counties.
AS a safeguard against further i'll
ness and deaths from this cause, DR..
Riley said that the Baltimore City
Health Department has secured the
enactment of an ordinance which pro-
hibits the importation or sale in the
city Of wild rabbits or wild hares,
dead or alive. The ordinance does not
affect the importation or sale of do
mesticated rabbits or hares kept under
supervision in properly maintained
and sanitary rabbitries.
The ordinance went into effect No
vember Is, and fixes penalty, not ex-
ceeding fifty dollars for each offense.
Exception is made in the case Of 20
illogical gardens operated under pub
lie authority and laboratories engaged
in scientific research, which may re-
ceive or import rabbits under such
regulations as may be prescribed by
the health commissioner of Baltimore
city.
The ordinance applies to Baltimore
city only. 1t does not affect the i'm
portation or sale of wild rabbits or
hares in the counties Precautionary
measures advised by DR.. Riley accord
ingly apply more particularly to resi-
dents Of the counties.
The disease is usually contracted
he explained, through handling OF
skinning infected animals; through
preparing the infected meat for cook
ing or for other use; through the bite
Of infected ticks-which spread the
disease from animal to animal-and
even through crushing the infected
ticks in the hands. The infectious ma
terial can be absorbed through a mere
scratch or break in the skin.
He advised careful observance of
the following precautions:
'Be sure you bag OF buy only heal
thy animals. The animal that seems
dazed or stupid is likely to be a sick
cne-infected with the germs that
cause rabbit FLYER. Avoid that kind.
Don't handle the game with bare
hands when preparing the meat for
the market or table. Use rubber gloves
or protect the hands with some other
waterproof material. The infection
may be picked up from the fur, as
well as from the organs or flesh.
"Do not allow any open cut or
scratch to come in contact with the
rabbits. Keep your hands away from
your face and eyes when handling
rabbits.
Burn the paper or other wrappings
that have been in contact with the
game.
"Wash the hands thoroughly with
soap and water Immediately after
handling a rabbit
Cook rabbit meat thoroughly
Cooking destroys the disease produc-
| ing germs.

For One Game

''The main angle in football" FL
mer Layden of Notre Dame said, "is
the mental attitude for one game.
l know how Army and Navy shoot
for US. 1 told you that you could
throw out all other games. When
you get set to win one game, no
one can say what will happen. For
example, blocking and tackling are

A Lack of Unity Within

The phrase national unity" like
that other phrase "short of war;" has
been spoken and written so many
times since the election that it is fast
becoming hackneyed and meaningless.
Already people are becoming bored
BY it, not because national unity is
not desirable but because there is so
much buncombe being put out in its
name. Certainly the interpretations of
the phrase by the two major political
divisions are so widely separated as to
suggest its impossibility.
The Republican., 1940-12-05

For example, the New Dealers, sup
ported by some of our more erudite
publicists, are convinced that national
unity means that the minority should
accept the election result to the ex-
tent Of abandoning all forms of Ad-
ministration opposition or criticism.
They point out that in these days
every activity Of the Government, and
every policy of the White House, is
part Of the defense program and there
can be no national unity if any dis
tinctions are made. The fact they try
to drive home is that national defense
is so overwhelmingly important that
it absorbs everything else and nothing
else matters.

DOLORES JEAN HARVEY.

Among the Presidential intimates
there are two groups. One of these
wants the present setup changed so
that the businessmen shall act in an
advisory and subordinate capacity and
the contract-letting function be exer-
cised by the army and navy heads,
The other group wants a chairman of
the Defense Commission named but
are strongly opposed to any one of
The businessmen now on the commits
sion. They want a New Dealer to head
the commission and have both the re-
sponsibility and authority. 1t is con-
ceded that the businessmen are indis-
pensable, that the program would bog
down without them, and that they are
making real sacrifices to serve their
country.
Nevertheless, the New Dealers are
firm in their belief that building the
defense machine should be an Admin
lstration job and the only way to
The Republican., 1940-12-05

Therefore, it is contended, to fall
short Of total support of the Presi-
dent; to fail to accept, for the time
being at least, that the election re-
turns proved him right and his oppo-
nent wrong; to criticize or oppose him
in any way while the crisis continues,
is to fail in patriotism. Unquestion-
ably some who urge this view are
sincere. They are convinced that while
the battle of Britain still hangs in the
balance there is neither time nor place
for any other consideration. Every
ounce of energy we have should be
used in aiding England and building
our defense machine.

THE GREAT
CAME OF
POLITICS .

The Republican., 1940-12-05

The other view is that, granting
the vital necessity of those two
things, still they will not be promoted
by the complete and subservient ac-
quiescence thus advocated. On the
contrary, it is contended that that is
the surest way in the world to in
crease incompetency, waste and de-
lay. Also, it is losing our sense Of
proportion to become so absorbed by
the war situation as to dismiss every
domestic issue as too trivial to notice.
That is carrying national unity to an
unjustified extreme. For example,
that would mean that the Admins
tration's effort to force an adjourn
ment Of Congress, primarily in order
tC prevent passage of the Walters
Logan bill and the NLRB amend
ments, would have to go uncriticized
and unopposed. For variety of rea-
sons, that would not be in the national
interests.
The Republican., 1940-12-05

The advocates of a total lack Of
criticism-those, for example, who
want Mr.. Willkie to go into the Ad-
ministation and thus abandon the
"loyal-opposition" idea which he has
proclaimed - are either partisanly
New Deal or they have not thought
things through. 1t would be better if
they would concentrate their efforts
for national unity inside the Admin
istration rather than outside, because
the fact is there is more friction with
in than there is criticism without 1t
not only is the continued failure of
the President to name a chairman of
the Defense Commission, with power
to coordinate, which continues to slow
up the defense program, but there is
a distinct feud on between certain Of
the Presidential advisers and the bus
inessmen who have been brought here
to do the job.
The Republican., 1940-12-05

Following out the argument Of
those who want to have the opposi-
ton abandon all opposition it would
mean, among other things, that the
Administrations plan to raise the
debt limit $2O,OOO,OOO should not be
resisted, as Senator Byrd is resisting
it, and that the tax program of the
Administration, if and when it is re-
yealed, should be accepted without
question because taxation is essen
TALLY part of the national defense.
