M.D. PORTLAND, Oregon, September (by mail). The coast-to-coant flight is over. From Medicine Bow Lodge, "Wyoming to the Multnomiih hotel which consumed two days, there was no time for writing, nor was there at either stop a suitable place, . We reached Boise the next noon for luncheon, and being rather fed up with dust bowl auto camps, decided to refresh ourselves at the swanky Boise hotel, which like Boise itself is a surprising oasis in that endless Idaho expanEC of sage brush and desert. The attractive colfee shop was well tilled, and next us, at what was obviously a permanent tabic for some group of Boise business men, the gentlemen assembled, as far as outward appearances go, might have been transported from some select mid day club, on Upper Fifth Avenue in New York. Once more we launched on our political survey, and from the waitress and cigar girl, learned that Borah hag a cinch, while Idaho as far as the presidency is concerned will go .Democratic. . a . , Through Wyoming and Idaho, no white leghorns or pigs litter the Lincoln highway, but there are enough dead jack rabbits, to supply, all the chorines in Hollywood, with ermine opera cloaks. We hud figured Pendleton, Oregon, would be a likely place to spend the night, but had not ligurcd on the roundup. Reach ing La Grande at tea time we stretched our legs a bit, and sought refreshment. The refreshment provider avowed Walter Pierce would be re-elected because he always is, while Mayor Mahoney of Klam ath is going to give Senator McNary a real race in that part of the country. ITc also suggested if we hadn t hotel reservations in Pendleton we better telephone ahead for them. This was cood advice no doubt but we didn't take it. Spending the night in a roundup jam, didn't appeal to us anyway, and we figured there would be plenty of places along the road to put up for the last night. Well it was about ns wc anticipated. We entered rcnclieton just as the afternoon performance had adjourned, and were immediately puclced in a slow moving mass of ten-gallon hats, chaps, cowboy bands, souvenir vendors, Indians, cqw girls, and what have you. Somehow we got through the mob, without buying anything or losing a fender, were soon gliding past the attractive Eastern Oregon hospital, on the western outskirts of the city and glad of it. . But we had ot realized that when Pendleton puts on its big September show, the same extends about fifty miles in all directions. Once more our regulation not to motor after dark hud to be broken and we wandered around for a couple of hours before we finally found a place and what a place! to eat and sleep. Sri 'the npxt morning over the beautiful Columbia River highway where the going is slow but the views unsurpassable we made the Rose City and enjoyed the comforts of civiliza tion once more. The 3400 mile trek from New York city wag over, that was what the speedometer recorded and all in all it was a very easy and comfortable trip. We had made it in six and one-half days of driving, which 'with two exceptions and comparatively few miles, had been entirely in the daylight. The secret of it all wag getting each day an early start. V e had ono Sunday in the schedule, quite properly devoted to a day of rest, and how restful it was hag previously been described, waiting for a phone from the police our stolen car had been recovered, which came more quickly than expected, and remains, and probably always will remain, one of those mysteries that will never bo explained. On this trip we purposely avoided the large towns, large hotels, and the places normally frequented, by the socallcd "economio royalists". We were after a hurried political survey of the "olhor sido of the railroad tracks", so to speak. Becauso of the hasto of tho trip, our log has been very sketchy and incomplete, (hero were far more political contacts than have been recorded and the net result is this: We failed to find a single Landon supporter on this coast to coast jaunt. Two might bo put down as doubtful, and a great many refused to say any thing one way or the other, but the writer is convinced at least, that from tho Atlantio to the Pacific, the sentiment for Roosevelt ON THIS other sido of tho tracks is as overwhelming, as it is for Landon on this side, what might be termed the right as opposed to the left. ' Wo now look back with considerable amusement over our confusion and amazement, when in 1934, beforo the bye elections of that year we took a similar coast to coast trip by train. As wo wrolo at the time, wc were able to find "no one for Roose velt." Less than two months later. Roosevelt won one of the greatest victories ever recorded in a bye election. We couldn't understand it then, hut it is perfectly clear now. Whatever else Roosevelt has done, or not done, this much is certain, he has in four years, ereated a new political party, which for want or a better term might bo called tho Liberal Labor party. The Republicans have what is left, which might even less accurately lie called the Conservative-Big Business party. Whether wc like it or don't, it is essentially a class division, with many exceptions of course, but only exceptions which prove tho rule. i Walk down Wall Street as wo did two weeks ago, and you won't find a Roosevelt, supporter; go north a few blocks on the Lower Kast side, and you won't find anyone for Landon. That same cleavage, in its general character runs throughout tho country from coast to const. , What is the answer, that Roosevelt will spring as sensational a surprise as ho did two years ago? As we see it, not a chance. Maine shows how tho tide is running, and tide and timo are both on tho sido of the 0. O. P. But in our judgment, he not only MAY win, but at tho present writing has the better chance of doing so, for the simple reason that so many moro people live on the other side of the railroad tracks than on this one. So those poor excuses for citizens who merely wish to be on the winning side, better look carefully at their holo curd, before they take that Maine result, as an edict from on high, ns to the way to jump. Have a care, brother, have a care. Wait till yon hear from those boys and girls on the other side of the railroad truck! R. W. R.

But the symptom has a great role In social evolution It Informs us that the process of the.; , antithesis and svnthesis is still on the Joh as it always was fot the Pm hundred billion years. And It Is quite poMihte that it will continue roetaixUeas of what Mr. Jenkins ould have Americans do about It. He think that "if we are good Amer icana, we will dlscoursge these ef forts in ever) way at our com mand" He points to Europe sa a horrible M-inple of nhat happens when class mitred reaches point tn its evolu tion when these symptom of eon-l omic frustration can no longer be suppressed.

But It u quite possible that it will include the peo P'e too that la what Is now taking place tn Spain. If ve should go the same way and the chances are that we will, it will be because of cur leaders' lack of understanding of so sial dynamics. Judging by what our candidates are so active tn handing out, that understanding Is appalling.

Cat are natural hosts of various animal paraaltcs, some of wMch may be transferred to man. They also har bor e, dog tapeworm and & awlne round worm. Liv er flukea are commonly found In cats. Cats of ten harbor fleas, ao m e times the vbi ijr i sj u c. Rat-bite fever has been Inocu lated by the bite of a cat. The spc clflc organism of undulant lever (Brucella mell- tenais) has been found In the abdominal lymph nodes of the cat. Although cats do not take dipt her la, themselves they may carry dipt her la bacilli If they have been tn contact with a dipt aerie, patient People commonly contract ringworm from cats. Aa a primary rule of personal hy giene any one who pcta or handles a cat at any time should carefully wash his hands with soap and water Immediately afterward, especially be fore eating or drinking. Where a cat la kept In the home It la Important to ace to it that the cat shall not be handled by nor have tho cnance to lick the hands of the baby or young child. Infestation with one or an other parasite or Infection with dis ease may readily occur in that way, for It is natural for the Infant or young child to lick or euck fingers. or gnaw on objects the cat may have contaminated. Every one knows now destructive cats are to birds. Marauding or hunt ing cats nave almost exterminated the sooty grouse in British Columbia The raising of pheasants in Wisconsin has be;, so much set back by cat depre dations that tho cat was outlawed ex cept under rigid restraint. Many cltleo have strict regulations against dogs running at lare. After all, there is no reason why people should submit to the midnight dis turbance or alley cats and tho tree- passing of these pnimals. The prac tice oi imposing a tax or "license fee" ror the keeping of & dog Is recognized as fair and reasonable. Every female cat should be worth an annual tax of $6.00. Such a tax would limit the alarming Increase in the number of cats and the serious destruction they woric to mras. But I like cats. Sent ours to the pound only a little while ago, be cause I like thrushes, hummlrur birds, mocking birds a nd goldfish too. Here is a source of revenue, hu mane, good for public health, good for peace and decency. Impose a tax of $5-00 on female cats. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS First In Ionization Canadian physician calls my atten tion to report by Dr. Warwick, Ft. Worth, of his successful use of ioni zation in treatment of hay fever. Warwick published his report in 1934 and In it gives credit to Dr Frank lin, England, who had published in 1931 a report of Its successful use tn 22 cases of hay fever Credit where credit is due. It looks as though the English were first In Ionization. Ion ization is a kind of electroplating of the nasal mucous membrane, which renders It less Irritable for a pro longed period. How Many Hairs?

By FRANK .JENKINS "OVKRNOR LANDON (Jubilant, as might be expected, over the ou' come) t says the Maine election i& "significant," and adds: "The, people of Malno have sounded a call that will find an Immediate response throughout the nation." Thla sentiment Is shared (at Icaat for publication) by every member or the Landon high command. From the Republican standpoint, the Maln'j election is great stuff. NOW for the other side: Big Jim Farley (Democratic na tional chairman, postmaster-general on political leave, all-around pooh bah of the New Deal) doesn't thlnK much (now) of the Maine election which he tried so strenuously to win. Ho says: "Republican Maine remains Re publican in a local election by a reduced majority. "A Republican senator retains his seat by a margin so small that It may take a recount to de termine tho actual vote." Then he adds sourly: "Perhapa a better way to state the situation would be to say that Maine continues. Republican by a majority of 50,000 DuPont Morgari dollars. Whatever con gratulations are exchanged among the Liberty Leaguers and the titular head of the minority party will bo quite nil right with .us but it doesn't seem Uko much .to brag about.'; The Maine election must have griped Big Jim pretty severely to bring out a sour-grapes howl like that I IN ORDER to get the picture accu rately, let's MAKE-BELIEVE for a moment. Suppose the Maine election had gone the other way. In that event, the Landon forces would be pooh poohing It and discounting it and letting it be known from the house tops that It didn't amount to a hill of beans, while Big Jim Farley and the pure and holy cohorts of the New Deal would bo trumpeting in voices of thunder that the Maine election Is a sign from on high pointing to the certain triumph of the New Deal and the utter confounding of Its wicked enemies. Politicians are a FUNNY lot, aren't they? THIS writer, who isn't a politician, hasn't much "polltcal" Judgment. Is exceedingly cautious about making predictions and doesn't care a hoot whether or not he Influences ANY BODY'S vote, thinks the Maine elec tion Is qulto significant, possibly foreshadowing a big swing in public sentiment that may sweep Landon Into the Presidency and sweep the New Deal out. Don't forget that In 1932 rock ribbed Republican Msine, by electing a Democratic governor In September, foreshadowed the Democratic land slide that followed In November. Big swings In public sentiment that In fluence national elections decisively aren't !ocal to thlr nature. They the broad and general, and they In fluence voters In one section exactly as they Influence voters Id other sections. In 1933. there was a big awing oway from the Republicans, who were in power and therefore responsible for allv the evils afflicting us then, and TOWARD the Democrats, who were out of power and therefore might be expected to do something better. This big swing In sentiment affected Maine exactly as it affected Oregon. and In September It was reflected In Maine by the election of a Demo cratic governor, thus reflecting dis content with existing conditions. The return of Maine to its normal Republican leanings MAY indicate a similar awing away from the New Deal and back toward familiar things. NOTE, pleace, tho use of the word MAY. This writer Isn't a poltl clan or a political predictor. The Maine election this year may be Just a local political accident, with no national significance. But it doesn't look that way. It CERTAINLY doesn't look that way to Big Jim Farley, whoso bitter com ment on It has a note of agonized disappointment.
