Peculiar Type of Allergy

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. | IT in quite |M>Kaib|p that many 11 of the fatal swimming accidental wr hear nt each aummer are not due to careleaaneaK or lack of awiiiiming ability, but tn a pern liar type of allergy on the part of the victim. Aa long ago as 1572, a ■ aae was deacribed in which cold <auaed' large red wheala or hivea to break out on the patient a face Since then many auih caae* have mine tn the attention of phyaiclana.

and today we know that thia oversensitivity to cold may alao cause fainting during or just after aw iniming In cold water. Thia type of ovemenaltlvity doea not soem to confine Itaelf to any one age or sex. Male and female are affected equally often, and victlma may be of any age Nur ia it selective in ita agent, cold wind being juat aa likely to bring on the symptoms aa cold water. Where tba sensitivity ia great, fainting may occar within from four to ail minutes after Immer aion in cold water, and sometimes it will come If only a part of the body—an arm or a leg—is exposed to the cold. Together with the fainting there may be a rise in the pulse rate, a drop ip the blood procaine, and flushing of the faee. An individual can be tested for cold seasiUvity by having him put his arm lute cold water and noting whether a reaction occurs in the for* of increased pulse rate and drop in the Mood pressure. It baa been suggested that the symptoms of cold allergy are doe to the fact that a sabstance known as histamine ia released by the action of the cold on the tissue cells

jorlty ever hi* opponent In the Georgia gubernatorial race. The vote was 299,030 to 254,200 In favor of Talmadge. although under the state’s peculiar county-unit law, he carried 312 of the 402 districts With nearly 50 percent of the pie opposed to him, the heir to the Tahuadge machine may find it difficult to remain in the driver's seat. o—o A concrete monument, decorated with a plain cross is being built on Hart Island, where New York buries its unknown dead The present cemetery was established in

1969. after burial grounds for pau per* and "strangers" had been used on Wards Island and at other sites that now comprise the city's main business district. More than 131.000 persons are buried there. 11,412 burials taking place last year. Surely the big city wiht its teeming millions, is a place of forgotten men. o o Nearly a thousand young men ot the county have already registered at draft headquarters since August 30. Many are veterans who served in the last war and therefore are exempt from further military service by virtue of the law Que*tionaires have been mailed to single men and selection of those who might be called upon to serve in the army will be done by the local board. If the tall Is for only 10.000 men a month, few from this county will be tagged by Uncle Sam to put on the uniform.

Cheating Courts: With the co-riperation of the city police department, a welfare orga nization in Cleveland la embark ing on a one-year experiment in attempting to prevent court action In home quarrel*. The welfare group will be permitted to atep Into caxM of assault, nonitupport. intoxication ami similar change*, when the> are rooted in domestic quarrelx, and try to settle them out of court. The idea ia that the chance* of restoring harmony in a home where a polhe-caxe quarrel han arixen are mueti better before than after the case get* to court When xuili a quarrel reaches the courtroom, emotion* may he raised to such a high pitch that reconciliation become* imiMiasilile. and many a domestic argument inovex from the police court to the divorce court. Rut private xettlement it i* hoped to save botnet which otherwise might be broken The Idea seems well worth trying. This ls one method of cheating the court* which ahould receive full publicapproval.

Several different type* of treatment for c-old aenaitivity have been employed. Some patient* have been benefited by having them put their hand* in c-old water for from one to two minute*, twice a day, for a period of from three to four weeks. Other* have lieen benefited by giving them Injection* of hiwtamine under the *kln in gradually incr*a,in« dosage. Recently, new preparation* have been discovered for treating pa-

tlents with sensitivity, such as those with hay fever, htves. or asthma. These drugs include bensdryl and pyribenxamine. It does not appear, however, thst these drugs are of much value in the treatment of cold sensitivity. It Is Important for persons who have cold sensitivity to be aware of their difficulty because, aa I said earlier, if undetected it may be the cause of an accident Os course, a person with cold sensitivity should avoid swimming in cold water. If the various forms of treatment suggested are tried, many such people will obtain relief, at leant to some extent, from ' their symptoms. i QUESTION* ANO ANSWER* I H. A.

■And you’ll meet her again." "Os course I’ll always be meeting her! This ia a tiny place. You can't go two step* without falling over a Cloade. Hut if you think I've fallen for Lynn Marchmont, you're wrong. She's a proud stuckup unpleasant girl without a civil tongue in her head. I wish old Rowley joy of her. No, Roaaleen, my girl, she's not my type." She said doubtfully, “Are you sure, David?** "Os course Fm sure." She said half-timidly: "I know you don't Like my laying out the cards . . . But they come true, they do indeed. There was a girl bringing trouble and sorrow—a girl would come from over the sea. There was a dark stranger, too, coming into our lives, and bringing danger with him. Thera waa the death card, and—" “You and your dark strangers!" David laughed. "What a mass of superstition you are. Don’t have any dealings with a dark stranger, that's my advice to you." He strolled out of the house laughing, but when he was away from the house, his face clouded over and he frowned to himself, murmuring: "Bad luck to you, Lynn. Coming home from abroad and upsetting the apple cart.'* For he realized that at this very moment he waa deliberately making a course on which he might hope to meet the girl he had just apostrophized so savagely.

Rosaleen watched him stroll away across the garden and out 1 through ths small gate that gave 1 onto a public footpath across the fielda Then she went up to her bedroom and looked through the i clothes in her wardrobe. She always enjoyed touching and feeling her new mink coat. To think she should own a coat like that—she could never quits get over the wonder of it She was in her bedroom when the parlormaid came up to tell her that Mrs. Marchmont had called. Adeia was sitting in the drawing room with her lips set tightly together and her heart beating at twice ita usual speed. She had been steeling herself for several days to ruUm <n sppeto Rosaloen but true to her nature had procrastinated. She hud also been kgprt) Sored by finding that Lynn's attitude had unaccountably changed aad that she was now rigidly opposed to her mother's seeking relief from her anxieties by asking Gordon’s widow for a loan. However another latter from the Bank Manager that morning had driven Mrs. Marchmont into positive action. She could delay no longer. Lynn had gons out early, and Mm Marchmont had caught sight of David Hunter walking along the footpath—so the coast was clear. She particularly wanted to get Rosaleen alone, without David, rightly judging that Rosa- ■ Iwfi tlone would be 1 (tr ttiitf proposition.

"Such a lovely morning," said Mr*. Marchmont brightly. "AU my early tulips sre out. Are yours?” The girl stared at her vacantly. "I don’t know." What was one to do, thought Adela, with someone who didn’t talk gardening or dogs — those sUndbys of rural conversation. Aloud she said, unable to help the tinge of acidity that crept into her tone: "Os courae. you have so many gardeners — they attend to ail that”

"1 believe we’re ahorthanded. Old Mullard wants two more men, he saya But there seems a terrible shortage still of labor." The words came out with a kind of glib parrot-like delivery—rather like a child who repeats what it has heard a grown-up person say. Yea, she was like a child. Was that, Adela wondered, her charm? Was that what had attracted that hard-headed shrewd business man, Gordon Cloade, and blinded him to her stupidity and her lack of breeding? After all. It couldn’t only ba look*. Plenty of goodlooking women had angled unsuccessfully to attract him. But childishness, to a man ot sixty-two, might be an attraction. Waa It, eould it be, real—or waa It a pose—a pose that had paid and so had become second nature ? Roaaleen waa saying, "David's out. I'm afraid ...” and tha words recalled Mrs. Marchmont to herself. David might return. Now was her chance and she must not neglect IL The words stuck in her throat but she got them ouL "1 wonder—if you would help me?" "Help you?" Rosaleen looked surprised, un-
