NEW YORK, July 11.—Medical science has an array of new drugs to help the hay fever victim through the wheezing and sneezing. season. There isn't a cure in the lot, but a check today of the research laboratories showed that the scientists were working on new types. Two of the most effective drugs are pyribensamine and benadryl. These are éasily obtainable and their makers insist the treatmént is not expensive. Both are taken in pill form. Two other effective drugs are antergan and neonantegran. They were developed by French scientists and are hard to get. Another hard-to-get drug is antistine. A sixth, anthallin, gives promise of being the most effective of all, but it isistill in the experimental stage.
Prescription Needed
YOU CAN'T go to your corner drug store and buy any of these drugs, unless you have a doctor's prescription. Experts on hay fever think that is the way it should be. There are numerous types of hay fever, they point out, and a victim should first have a doctor determine just what type afflicts him. This means
Pea Shooter
rimmnm— WASHINGTON, July 11.—You ladies noticed any slash lately in the price of a can of peas? I thought so.
80 today's our day to shed a tear for the boys who find themselves with 67 million cases of canned vegetables they can't sell, a new crop coming up, and nobody standing in line to buy. There seems to be only one solution. Get the government to do something. Se the representatives of the farmers, the canners and the wholesale grocers came to the agriculture committee of the house. The thing to do, they said, is force the state department and the war department to send canned goods to the hungry in Europe. The relief experts so far have refused. They claim % can of tomatoes, for instance, is mostly water and why spend the money to ship H20 abroad? The canned goods fellows said the Europeans need vitamins from ‘tinned vegetables as much as calories from wheat. - They said also that if the government doesn’t ake over some of the millions of cases, many a farmer will go bust (and many a cannery, too) and that'll be the start of a depression, Rep. August H. Andresen of Minnesota wondered if any of the boys had thought about cutting prices of peas (which seem to be in greatest surplus) here at home. “Oh, yes” replied William M. D'Miller, secretary of the ‘Co-Operative Food Distributors of America, Chicago, & typical witness. '“Pricés have been. re-.
~duced.-But the people. insist on the fancy stuff and-
they won't buy the standard grades.”
Refuses to Be Soothed THIS CAUSED Rep. William 8. Hill of Colorado, to explode. Or perhaps “erupt” is the better word. “I'd like to see the ads on those reduced prices,”

After bowing ‘to: the guy six times, that “hatetul

Besides, it all happéned so fast—Orson is shooting the film in 21 days with a $600,000 budget—that I'm afraid I'll just be a fast blur on the screen and an even faster blur in the budget. “This is a low-budget picture,” Orson said. shooting fast. Run, don’t walk to your place.” As usual, Orson Welles is directing and starring In the film as Macbeth. Not to mention the fact that he also wrote tfe screen play, cast the picture and, I suspect, sharpened the spears. So I ran into the scene and it was all over in exactly one minute and 22 seconds. “You are now a fnished actor In this picture,” Maid Orson. =... There was no doubt oat it.

Worried?
NEW YORK, July 11.—Worry ‘over the future is slowly changing us into a race of round-shouldered, gorilla types, a Manhattan psychologist said today. American men apparently are worried about the atomic bomb. or the high cost-of living. It's putting # hump on their backs. American woinen are worried both by the A-bomb and the added personal item that nowadays they're growing rathoet tall. + “As a nation, we're suffering from camtocormia,” said Dr. James F. Bender, director of the National Institute for Human Relations, “and we should do something about it.”
Psychological Damage
CAMTOCORMIA is a word coined during world war 11 by Dr. Samuel A. Sadler, an army psychiatrist, who. was among the first to notice this decided Ingrease ih '‘ape-like shoulders, ¥ wgiooped shoulders aren't pretty to look at” said Dr. Bender, “but they also do a great psychological damage. ‘+ “Dr. Alfred Adler, the first man to identify the inferiority -complex, was. also, first to point out that

an allergy test, a simple thing. They emphasized that it is no use to take certain drugs if they are Ineffective against -the particular type of allergy causing the hay fever conditions. The true type of hay fever is known as pollinosis.
It is due to wind-borne pollens. The spring type is ! op "
almost always due to tree pollens, such as the oak, | birch, maple, elm, hickory and cottonwood.” The sum-
‘mer type is usually due to pollens of grasses, timothy, June grass, orchard grass, red top, sweet vernal, Bermuda grass, Johnson grass,
—And Then Ragweed
THE FALL type from which millions of Americans suffer is usually due to pollens of ragweeds. The doctors report that the best way to treat hay fever is to prevent it in the first place. That is, avoid the sections where you pick up the pollen, The condition is usually inherited They also scoff at the “old- fashioned ‘theory of spending hours in a storage ice-box or refrigerator, In some severe cases, it is best that the patient move to an area freg of pollen. But stay out of ice boxes, the doctors insist. They are liable to give you a cold along with your hay fever.

he shouted, “so my wife can get 'em. How do you figure the cost of living is going up, if the price of these foods is going down?” Mr. D'Miller tried to soothe him. Rep. Hill was having none of it. He charged that grocers adver-| tised low prices on canned goods, but always were! fresh out when Mrs, Hill tried to buy. “And it isn't only canned goods,” he said. ‘Why, one store advertised lamb at 15 cents a pound and when I went in to get some I had to pay 65 cents al pound for it.” The suave Mr. D'Miller, wearing a checked sul, a large diamond ring and héavy-rimmed eyeglasses, said he was sorry, but he didn't know about meat. Only canned goods. And the warehouses in his association have so many cans of peas, string beans, cut beets, sauerkraut and sweet potatoes on hand they| intend to buy no more for the next eight to 14 months, |
Calls for a Price List i REP,” ANDRESEN wasn't convinced. He ordered; Mr. D'Miller to produce a list of current retail prices of canned goods for study by the lawmakers. The| witnesses kept coming. A thousand acres of string! beans have been plowed under in Louisiana because the canners wouldn't buy. Spinach is rotting in the! Norfolk, Va., area, and tomatoes in Maryland. “Tomatoes. are, being plowed into the ground right|

But field tomatoes, no. There is no market for them.” This was hard for Rep. Andresen to understand. He could use a few pounds and so, I think, could I. If we could afford 'em, that is.

I had even practiced waving one with a Scottish accent. After being briefed by Orson’s associate producer, Dick Wilson, I was all set to get an adjustment on my salary—from $15.80 to $18.80. All I had te do, Mr, Wilson said, was complain that the spear was heavier than I anticipated and then the Screen Actors’ Guild would insist that the studio give mie a 8 adjustment. But unpredictable Orson just could see me as a spear-carrier. . He said 1 wasn’t the type. It was rather obvious that he was just playing it safe.

not only slumped over but walk with a tight unbending rigidity and are unable to relax. “Look around you,” he said, “and you'll see that's the trouble with most of us. We're the greatest nation in the world today but we have certainly lost much of our individual optimism. “I can only conclude that it's because we're living in a topsy-turvy world, governed by fear of war and the atomic bomb. If this: fear continues, it could change our entire national character.”
Tall Women Look Regal
SOME WOMEN, Dr, Bender added, are stooped because they're attempting to shrink. They are taller than the boy friend and, naturally, he doesn't like it. “They forget,” Dr. Bender said, “that a tall woman may look regal. There's nothing more alluring than true regality.” : Dr. Bender, who makes a speciality of finding the right persons for the right jobs, said there was only one sure way to defeat camtocormia. “We must keep our shoulders back and be determined to keep smiling,” he said. “It sounds like an old bromide to say so, but it's true. “Even if you don't like a man, it does you good to smile at him.” And, unless you can grin about it, don't discuss the atom.
