Let's see ... an average of only ten miles to the gallon would total 260 I billion miles or more than a million times the distance to the moon. o o - Congress has the legislative ropes and if it wants to fire a million federal employes, all it has to do ia pass a law abolishing the bureau or department. No president. under our constitutional form of government has the authority to hire or fire, unless congress provides the needed legislation. 0 - <o . ~ The biggest loss from the heavy rains Is suffered by the farmer in time lost and curtailment of erop acreage. The unusual May weather has also slowed down construction and street repair work, so about everybody is affected by the rainy days and can blame bls troubles on the weatherman. o o Indianapolis citizens are speaking out loud because their city council refused to pass an ordinance which outlawed the manufacture or possession of lottery tickets although the board of safety requested the legislation. In the meantime the police say they can't make arrests, because conviction Is impossible under existing law. o 0 State chairman Greenlee has called a meeting of the Democrat county chairmen and vice-chair-men for May 27 in Fort Wayne.

America's Hay Fever Refugees

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. O. AMERICA has Its refugees. too —the thousands of hay fevyr victims who annually pull up stakes and leave their home* for the dura tion of the hay fever reason Unfortunately, there are thousand* of others who are unable to afford time or money for tbla seatonal jaunt to pollen-free area* There stay-at homes must sneex? and hear the assaults of ragweed pollen — the substance which cause* most of their trouble—as beet they can. Hay Fever Injections * A good many of them, to lie sure, can be made leas sensitive through the Injection of gradually increasing doses of pollen extract. But such treatment, to do any good, must be given well in advance of the ragweed seagon and even then . It does not always work. For such people there is good news indeed In a recent report of Drs Milford E. Barnes and Roland Rooks of lowa City, which tells how. tor very little trouble and expense, they can convert their own homes Into pollen-free shelters. The patient for whom the doctors devised this method, though extremely sensitive to ragjweed pollen, was enabled to. live at home in comfort and without medication of any kind throughout the hay fever season in a locality where the pollen count was exceptienaiiy high. Thia patient lived in a six-room house Ths control program was adopted as a family project to protect both the patient and her *at r Incidentally the patient's father

for the purpose of electing a successor to Joseph G. Suoiser, district leader, whose death occurred laat week. Among those mentioned for the place la Harold Kelly of Angola, Democratic chairman of Steuben County. o———o Besides boosting the price of cigarettes three centa a package, the new state law which goes Into effect July 1, also taxes the wholesaler 1600 and places the burden of stamping every package on the distributor. Machines have been invented so that the stamp can be mechanically applied for another 1800. All in all. the cigarette tai is not going to be very popular. o o While in a playful mood members of the California legislature spent some of the taxpayer's money by introducing a bill fixing a sliding scale for barbers for cutting hair of the bald and nearbald customers. The bill was in retaliation of the one introduced providing that the barber's picture had to be displayed with his license. Indiana has had similar legislation and Hoosiers are reminded of the time when the legislature debated on the question of changing Ground Hog Day by legislative act. o o The Rev. Ignatius Vichuras, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s church, will deliver the annual memorial address at the Memorial Day services on May 39. The services will be a Joint presents tion by posts of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Rev. Vichuras not only speaks as a theologian, but as a soldier. He served nearly four years as a Army Chaplain and saw service in the Southwest Pacific and in the Philippines. The inspiring memorial service anff speaking program will be held at the Peace monument, in the southwest corner of the court house lawn and the public is invited to attend. o o Beginning in July, the Army will discontinue issuing "Blue" discharges to men released from uniform. Hereafter there will be four designations of release from military service, namely, honorable; general, to be given those found unsuitable for an honorable sepe tation; undesirable, given for un fitness or misconduct and dishonorable, noting court martial. The "Blue" certificate was criticised by congress because it did not state whether the man had a good or bad record. The army does some funny things in the name of discipline. In most cases it would be right if It gave the soldier the benefit of the doubt

was also sensitive to ragweed pol len. and had for years been treated for this sensitivity. To begin with, a complete housecleaning was carried out before the beginning of the ragweed sea son to get rid of any pollen which might have accumulated In the house. In the corners, on the car pets, or elsewhere. Storm win dows were installed. These storm windows do not increase the in door temperature and aid to a great extent In keeping pollen from sifting into the house. All the doors and windows were kept closed except when the occupants had occasion to enter or leave the house through one of the doors. In two of the bed r< Him Windows what are known as pollen filters were installed. These permitted air to enter the house but strained out all of the pollen. Household Fets Flowers and household pets were barred from the house The members of th hoeusebold were free to come and go as they pleased but the allergic members were Instructed to wear a gause face mask while outside of the home whenever It was possible to do so The entire coot of the installations was about 1150. By this method, the bouse was kept virtually free of pollen and she patient was practically free of symptoms throughout the hay fever season: By the judicious use of face masks while outside the bouse, tbe patient was able to leave the bouse whenever she desired to do so. At times she discarded her fees mask tor short period* but soon found that this did not pay.
