Think of Oregon, always a soft touch for any California team, tieing the national champions, and apparently coming within an ace of beating them. Looks like an Oregon year. And is Ace Ward's face red this morn ing, he is even worse than "Perfessor I'ickem!" Went out to the "farm" last night for the usual stuffing, cream direct from the cow that stands alone, hickory nuts that were gathered that morning, etc., etc. The farm has one of the few real "woods" near Rockford, and a winding creek stocked with trout, all of which will go to the Rockford pnrk system when A's will is probated. One of the pnrt.y was a member of the Rockford college faculty who spent the summer in Europe, and caught the Aqiintanin a week after war had been declared.

Just entering Elgin where the watches come from and the state insane asylum is located. Many years since we entered Elgin on the Milwaukee, usually it has been by motor car or the Northwestern. "Ylint a differentia it mnkes just how one enters and leaves y community. Elgin is really a beautiful place if one comes In on the Milwaukee, for the train enters and leaves along the hanks of the Fox river, whilo it goes by the attractive city park, and the watch factory. Quite different by the Northwestern or the regular motor route to Chicago. "A farmer living near Oregon, Oregon, Illinois, has his picture in the paper because he was on the torpedoed Athenia ! with his wife and daughter. They were all rescued, although j not together, the wife being down in the cabin while Papn ; and dnnghtcr were exercising on the promenade deck. The wife was unfortunate enough to get in a life boat that leaked and j ruined her shoes by using them to bale with, but fortunately i the rescue ships arrived before the situation became serious. They lost everything they had but the clothes on their back but were so overjoyed at being home safe and sound and together, that they had no complaints to make.

Shades of Waller Eckersall Chicago was beaten yesterday by Beloit college 6 to nothing. Again, how the mighty have fallen! This is a small train, but new and clean and makes fast time. It is hard to realize as one observes the double track on a smooth well maintained right-of-way and the heavy freight trains puffing in both directions that the Milwaukee, the only railroad from Chicago to the Pacific Coast, without a change, is practically bankrupt. Probably if that extension to Pugct Sound hadn't been built it wouldn't be. . .

Dent son and Dowllng of the Jefferson county (Birmingham) health department, state, "every dog that bites should be considered rabid until known to be otherwise. When the condi tion of the anl mal la unknown because It can not be located or cannot be Iden tified or because the laboratory examination 1 s unsatisfactory, It 1 advisable to admlnater treat ment to those bitten. These procedures are followed in Birmlnsham with apparent safety. Treatment Is ordinarily delayed until the animal ha died and the diag nosis has been established. Face bites and multiple bites axe, of course, excepted." In any circumstance when the question arises whether to have or not to have Pasteur treatment. It la well to remember this conclusion reached by the Alabama Investigators after their long and extensive studies and experience in dealing with rabies: Vaccine paralysis or other serious complications resulting from admin istration of vaccine" (Pasteur treat ment or the Semple modification of It) "are probably more frequent than the development of rabies from any exposure other than an actual bite: and In advising treatment one should carefully weigh the possibilities of death or permanent Injury from vac cine against the posslblltles of death from rabies." In conclusion, I have presented, I hope, a fair view of the best pre vailing medical opinion of the day In reference to the rabies question. Personally, I have so much doubt of the occurrence of the disease rabies In man and so much fear of the Pasteur treatment or any modi flea- ; tlon of It that I'd have none of It I If I were bitten by a presumably rabid animal. Instead I'd want the ' wound treated Immediately by a sur- ; geon as he would treat any Infected wound, and an Immediate prophy lactic dose of anti-tetanus serum and a second dose of the same serum five or six days later against possible lockjaw. That would be all the treat ment I'd want. The course advised by most health authorities and physicians In case of bite or scratch by dog or other animal la as follows: 1. Immediate disinfection of the The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by Tha North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. The deluge of mall brought down on congress by the arms embargo controversy Is an Interesting and perhaps a dan gerous phenomenon. A few senators and many representatives appear to believe that the majorities In their constituencies are composed of the sort of person who coresponds freely with lawmakers, newspapers and other p u b 1 1 e Institutions. Some prophets even say that repeal of the arms embargo may be prevented by the large antl - re peal 1st majority among the letter-writers. Short of an elaborate public In vestigation, the real meaning of antl-repesl mall cannot be exactly determined. But a sample can be taken. Oh to la a large state. In the part of the country generatly thought of aa particularly Isolationist, with a mixed agricultural and Industrial population, and sufficiently diverse racial groups to make It reasonably representative. Ohio's Republican sen ator. Robert A. Taft. has come out on the repealtst side, and his mall has been enormous, reaching a total of more than 40.000 letters, with nine against repeal for each one In favor. Careful examination of lrtrge, ran dom samples or Tsffs mall leads to rather striking conclusion. The first thousand letters or so were honest and spontaneous enough, being chiefly written by average citizens with a blind, passionate fear of in volvement In the European conflict. The bulk of the other 39.000. how- ,Ter were stirred up. propaganda stuff. At least 78 per cent carried the distinguishing marks of this type of omsntaed Intimidation. Msny repeated tha same Isncuage. with parrot-like insistence. Many more were simply form letters, distributed for signature. Printed postcards abounded, and there were not a few letters to which th same hand an. pendrd different signatures, Furthermore, there were thoroughly xmpieaaant Indications, which It wo,,id foolish to trr to blink, that th, if(l1rni nf tne Nll?1 bund and their fellow-traveler.

There are many German Americans In Ohio, and, among the letter-writ ters favoring repeal of the arms embargo, they appeared In their normal proportion. On the other side, the proportion waa completely ab normal, and an extraordinary num ber of the letters were of the form type. Many of these lottera also came from the Ohio cities where the bund Is known to be active. It was dif ficult not to conclude that the small mlnorlt; of Americans of German descent who have forgotten their Americanism In favor of Hltlerlsm were attempting to exert an undue influence. As for the Coughlanlt mall. Its hallmarks were easy to spot. Certain slogans have been popularised by the radio priest. They were repeated over and over again, with the char acteristic Coughianlte rant. Many of these also bore the signs of elabo rate organisation. Most disturbing of all were the Indications that In some Instances this organization had been carried on through the churches. In New York, the same misuse of the pulpit has already been de nounced by Alfred B. Smith. It Is to be hoped that, now that the Os servatore Romano Itself has expressed the pope's approval of the presi dent's policy, there will be no fur ther manifestation of this sort, which greatly distress ninety-nine in a hundred Catholics and all the church's friends. All this must not t taken to m,an, of course, that many of the letter-writers are not sincere. Some tri are pathetic, aa when an "American mother with 4 dear boys who would ,slf to go with hundreds of others" writes, "please keep America thourly n.utral, this la my plea." or when a youne man writes. "I havent experienced life yet. but If the president's proposal becomes law I wont have much life left." There la plenty of tragic puzzlement, plenty of ..imest seeking amon? the letter-writers, who are misled by the loud and foolish shouting thnt arms embargo repeal surely means war. There Is abw plenty of the kind of vulgar hatred which demagogies know how to stir up. Some of It is so violent as to be funny, as when an Infuriated cltlren takes a long breath and writes, "again the ad ministration like a venomous sna-c haa lifted Its ugly head and from lta tongue hanga the venom that calles special session of congress to undue the sacred will of the people I to keep out of forlgn entanglements j that will embroil us in a bloody forlgn war the out-come of which I we know nothing about." But the point Is that, whether or not they are sincere, the leltcr wrltera In Ohio cannot claim to be representative, aa Indeed the po'.ls I prove. In other states. It U said, 'he i evidence la much less conclusive. although the same sitns of propa mda are everywhere t -servabie. At any rate, aenstors and representa tive will do well to think twice of the real Issues before voung a,:slnst r, ;:esl out of deferer" to mall or thla ,ort.

So far as Americans are con cerned, this question overshadows all others: Are we going to get In or are we going to stay outf ' READ or listen to the debate. Keep an open mind. Weigh the points brought out by both sides. If you feel strongly on either side, write to your senators and your con gressman. Don't try to use big words you don't understand. Don't cop form letters. Don't write what SOMEJ BODY ELSE want you to write. Don't get somebody else to type your letter. Say what you think in your own language. Above all else, write" STRAIGHT FROM YOUR HEART. Sincerity Is what will cotint. (The way to address a senator is "Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C." The way to address a con gressman Is "House Office Building, Washington, D.
