Political Symbols Of Two Patries
Grew Originally From Old Carfoons
By RAY ELLIS
WEA Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO—Most voters who
will go to the polls in November
will either be voting for the
“«GOP” elephant or the Democra
tic donkey.
Although both symbols are as
familiar to our people as the
&iatue of Liberty, it would be
safe to say that few party stal
warts would know how their mas
cot was chosen,
The donkey and the elephant
are probably the only two ani
mals of different species that have
2 common identical ancestor.
They were both brought into
oxistence during the ’7os of the
last century by the famous po
litical caricaturist Thomas Nast,
Strangely enough, each politi
cal animal was tagged to its par
ticular party in an atmosphere of
Jerisive jest. Each found favor
with the rank and file, and was
drafted for regular service, push
ing the original Republican eagle
and Democratic rooster to the
gidelines.
’ ® &
# The Democratic donkey was
born first and had an unflattering
debut, on an advertising page of
the pro-Republican Harper’s

It was depicted as lashing out
with its hoofs against a dead lion,
representing Edward M. Stanton,
secretary of war in Lincoln’s
cabinet, who had died shortly be
fore. The donkey was supposed
to be the Democratic or “Copper=
head Press,” doing its best to be
smirch the name of the gallant
dead.
Another source says the donkey
symbol originated because the
Democratic Party of that time
constantly talked of finance. Hor
ace Greeley referred to them as
the finance party. Nast construed
finance to fine-ass, and drew the
donkey,
\ His intention was to poke fun
at the Democratic Party. Good
naturedly they accepted the ani
mal and turned it into a symbol
to rally around.
® ® *
The birth of the elephant took
place in a manner more befitting
that illustrious mascot. It was
given a whole page for its activity
in the same periodical.
It was suggested to Nast by an
Aesop fable which describes how
a donkey went about in lion’s skin
terrorizing the animals and fright
ening the elephant into a trap set
by a cunning fox,
His illustration showed such a
scene, The donkey dressed as a
lion was labeled “The New York
Herald.” The elephant was the
“Republican vote.” The fox peek
ing out from under a bush, had a
“Democratic Party” on his collar.
The elephant found such favor
with the Republican adherents
that it survived the Democratic
victory of 1874 and speedily be
came the party symbol.

Pennsylvania Dutch Make Big Thing
Of Traditional July 4th Celebration
By LOUIS J. SCHLOSBERG
NEA Special Correspondent
KUTZTOWN FAIRGROUNDS;
Pa. —(NEA) —As the Penn
sylfawnische Dietch express it,
the festival at Kutztown “makes
bx%" over the July Fourth week
end.
There, on the big fairgrounds on
the pike between Allentown and
Reading, women in costume will
bake kannebrote. There will be
a schoodel maetsch for the marks
men, a snook karrich for wheel
barrow athletes, and traditional
games for the boys such as nipsy,
sie-bolla and eck-bolla.
For the third year, the fair
grounds will be the capital of the
Poennsylvania Dutech World, and
more than 60,000 visitors from 28
states are, expected to be on hand
between July 3 and 6. .
Dr. Alfred Shoemaker, proses- |
sor -of American Folklore at
Franklin and Marshall College,
and director of the festival, ex
plains that “many stories have
been written about the Pennsyl
vania Dutch, but now the people
will be able to see at first hand
these hearty residents of eastern
and central Pennyslvania dem
onstrate the skills which have
made their name an*honored one.” ‘
* "
The festival is sponsored by the ‘
college for the benefit of the col
lege’s folklore center.
The keystone of the folk cul
ture of the Dutch is good cook
ing, and above all else, the fes
tival will highlight the far famed
regional cookery of these hearty
people, Dr. Shoemaker says.
2z %f traditional seven sweet and
“seven. sour _dishes. which have
‘madé -the “Pennsylvania Dutch
housewife respected throughout
the nation will be served with
' full course meals for those wish
ling a variety. For others there
will be specialized foods such as
rival soup, snitz un gnepp, drech
er koocha, fasnachts and many
others that have never before
been served publicly.
Folk dancing groups will per
form traditional dances to the
music of the -Deitcha raysdels
(Dutch fiddlers).
l s 9
Members of eleven Berks Coun
ty granges will give an exhibi
tion of flegel drescha (threshing
wheat with the old-fashioned
flails).
There will even be hog call
ing contests and exhibitions of
gebund shtrag macha (bundling
a sheaf with a gnavel, or stick),
using a schinnerhomes (an old
time harvest rake as wide as a
parn door), and the sharpening
of a tyical Pennsylvania Dutch
scythe with a dengle shtuck.
Throughout the festival there
will be demonstrations in soap
THE BANNER-HERALD., ATHENS, GEORGIA
boiling, spinning, weaving, weav
ing and thatching of barn roofs
with fackla (shingles made of
lang shtrow, or long straw).
There’s another game that
“makes big” with the audience,
too, called Hinkel Schtoll Butza,
which means cleaning the hen
house.
It's sort of a Dutch version of
post-office. A gril “sits on the
roost” and a boy gets to kiss her.
As the Pennsylfawnische Dietch
would put it, at festival time
cooking “isn’t all.”
USMC Combat

to Navy Captain Louis P. Kirk
patrick, senior medical officer
with the U. S. Marines in Korea.
“The new vest is 90 to 95 per
cent successful in preventing
wounds in the torso, and that in
the past, approximately 80 per
cent of all wounds were inflicted
in areas protected by the vest,”
Captain Kirkpatrick states.
By order of Major Gene'x;g“ilohn
T. Selden, USMC, Com di‘?
General of the First Marine Divia
sion, all men going out on patrol
or into attack will wear t&gvg
The Marine vest is' a sleevele

Officer Caught
Leading Liquor
Car In Valdosta
VALDOSTA, Ga., June 26.—
(AP)—A. Valdosta policeman was
arrested near here early Wednes
day along with two Negroes and
was charged with conspiracy to
violate the federal liquor laws.
Patrolman Albert C. Folsonr was
arrested by State Troopers George
Chism and James Dunn on U. S.
Highway 94 about a mile west of
Statenville. At the same time they
arrested James Lee and R. C.
Singleton, Valdosta Negroes.
Dunn reported 60 gallons of un~
taxed whiskey were found in the
Negroes’ car and they were
charged with transportation of il
legal liquor.
No whiskey was found in Fol
som’s car but the troopers said he
appeared to be leading the way for
the Negross’ automobile and re
ported the Negroes told them Fol
som was with them when they
picked up the load of moonshine
at Fargo.
Valdosta Police Chief Wilber
Perkerson said Lee told him Fol
som was peing paid $5 a jug for
‘helping get the liquor through.
~ Folsom denied any connection
with bootlegging activities and
told -Dunn and Chism he was out
looking for the car driven by the
Negroes because he was’ selling
cars on the side and had given it
to them for a trial. .
There is space.. for 40 persons
to stand in the head of the Statug
of Liberty, according to the Ency
clopedia Britannica.

Weil's Disease Is Our Reason
To Wage Constant Rat War
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
For anyone who hates rats as
much as I do, it is a pleasure to
comply with Mrs. R’s request to
discuss Wzil's disease.
This is much more a disease of
rats than it is of human beings,
but in rats the disease can last for
a long time, and these pests then
can become a source of danger to
human beings.
The germ which causes Weil's
disease is excreted in the urine of
infected rats, and therefore sewer
workers, coal miners, ditch dig
gers, tish cufters, or any others
who work in damp places infested
by rats are liable to catch the dis
ease.
Indeed, there have been a num=-
ber of cases of human disease ac
quired by swimming in contam
| inated ponds or canals.
Like other germ diseases of
' mankind, there is an interval be-
PAGE ELEVEN
tween infection and the appeare
ance of the first syrmptom oh
is usually about eight to 18 »
Once this period has ’ i
of the disease come on
usually with chills and fever.
Headache, pains in the W'
and sometimes disturbances @
digestive tract or other evidences
of illness are frequent. There are
a number of unpleasant complica
tions of the disease also, and
‘about one person in 20 who fiz a
severe attack dies from the dis
ease,
It is important that an early
and correct diagnosis of Weil's dis
ease be made, and this is not ale
ways easy because it resembles
other acute infections, and since it
is not exactly common, a prob
lemr in diagnosis is often present,
Drug Cure Not Complete
Furthermore, treatment is not
thoroughly satisfactory, even
when given early. Both penicillin
and aureomycin are used, but
their effectiveness in cure is not
complete.
Weil’s disease is another exam
ple of a condition about which
one heard very little a few years
ago, but which seems to be be
coming somewhat more common.
Perhaps the most important thing
about it is that it provides one
more reason for man to wage un
ceasing warfare on rats.
PURITY EMBLEM
The lily, emblem of purity, is
painted in almost every picture of
the Annunciation and of the Ma
donna, according to the Encyclo=
pedia Britannica.
Latest clear - vision mirror for
the bathroom cabinet is electrical~
ly heated just enough to keep it
free from moisture. The heating
element is covered with a layer of
conductive chemical rubber which
has high resistance to deteriora
tion from heat. Electric current
is turned on or off at will.
