Take heart, comrade, if you're being strangled by the hay fever sneezes and sniffles, for you've got plenty of company. Though they've kept no offi‘cial count. of the pollen flying about carelessly in the air, city health officials and many ' doctors believe the collective sneeze this year is the longest and hardest in many a hay fever season. On the other hand, one allergist said he didn't think this was anything like 1939. Sneezes then, we understand, practically had the city bent double. In 1939 the peak figure for pollen drifting about was only slightly less than 2300 microscopic grains of the stuff per cubic yard of air. This, we get it, is so thick that a citizen with a sensitive nose has trouble pushing his way through it. The peak this year was reached

Take Heart, You Hay Fover Sufferers; Some Say It Was Much Worse in 1 939

last Thursday when 1085 grains per yard were found. And yesterday the count was ranging between 700 and 1000. : This measuring is done by putting a microscope slide out in the open air for 24 hours, then putting the slide under the microscope to count what you've got, not including soot and other nonscientific matter. Of course, this is all paper hay fever, and when a man has to wear a filter up his nose, he likely doesn’t care what the pollen count is. All he wants to do is die, or something equally pleasant. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary, said the weeds in Indianapolis are the most bountiful in many years, which may explain everything. Ragweed is the No. 1 criminal and if you see one standing, you should slip up and cut it down immediately.

Wilbur H. Winship, street commissioner, said he had 10 men out faily cutting down weeds right and lefi but, after all, they can’t mow down the city. Dr. Morgan said, in a confidential manner, that really the trouble is you can’t get enough men as weed cutters. ‘Of course, if you've got weeds that need cutting the health board can tell the street commis= sion to goout and do the job and the cost to you is anywhere from $1.50 to $3. Already, Dr. Morgan has issued about 150 such orders. The hay fever set surely will be glad fo learn that.

ONE NAZI PRISON

‘Largest Concentration Camp’ at Terezin, Czechs Report.

LONDON, Sept. 3 (U. P.).—The| -

Germans. have sent 50,000 Jews from the Czech prote¢torate, Berlin, Hamburg and Westphalia to an Austro-Hungarian fortress at Terezin— the largest concentration camp in Nazifled Europe—a Czech government spokesman said reliable reports from neutral sources revealed today. Several thousand, either sick or, with “criminal records,” were re-] ported to have been shut off from all others in a dark, underground

fortress where they were said to be “dying off like flies.” .

“All hope for them has been|

abandoned,” the neutral observer was quoted.

Pilsen “Fully Cleared” |

The Czech spokesman said that|

leaders of the protectorate’s Jewish colony have received demands from the Nazis to prepare 15,000 additional Jews for ‘ deportation. Of Praha’s one-time Jewish population of 40,000, only 15,000 now remain, he said, and the towns of Pilsen and Brno now are com-

pletely cleared of Jews. Many have been sent to Terezin.

7000 Work on Farms

“The Germans,” the . Czech spokesman said, “have launched their campaign to exterminate Jews from the protectorate.” He said that the Jews imprisoned at Terezin include 7000 young:men and women who are forced to work on neighboring farms and building| barracks. “Outside the. fortress walls,” he said, “thousands of other Jews live in concentration camps. Conditions within the fortress are described as ‘horrible,’ with the Jews being forced to sleep on damp floors and
