BEGIN ON THE SCHEDULE
Real Victims of Hay Fever Feel
Pollen Influence Now
Until Frost.

Today is the date for the official
opening of the hay fever season. and
scores of Washingtonians, sufferers
from the disease, started sneezing and
coughing promptly on schedule time.
Some few enterprising individuals
the kind who are always a little bit
ahead of every one else on almost
everything-began using seventeen
handkerchiefs day some time ago, but
the real victim, closely observant Of
the pest traditions and usage. deferred
his initial paroxySm until today.
Many government clerks, annual suf-
ferers, have planned to begin their va
cations on this date, and numbers of
these started northward, seward or
mountainward on early trains this
morning.
Others who are not SO firmly welded
to the sneezing game awoke today re-
lieved to find a cool, bracing breeze
Tapping the curtains Of their sleeping
apartments, and with the change In the
weather decided they might be able to
defer their exodus for a few days at
least.
Disease Still Open for Cure.
Science has not yet determined the
cause or causes Of hay fever. Pollen
from ragweed, hay dust, the dust Of
the roads, pollen Of other weeds besides
the ragweed that blooms at this sea-
son, and the pestilence that turks in the
autumn blossoming golden-rod, all have
been at one time or another stigma
tized as the melting cause of the an
nual plague Of sneezing, and all have
later been exonerated, at least by many
doctors.
1t bacillus or germ brings on the
disease science has not yet been able
to trail the organism to its lair, and
until a definite cause is found, ply
sicians declare, no specific can be
located that will bring about a cure.
So far an unlimited supply Of hand
kerchiefs and a change of scene, air
and environment appear to be the only
palliatives; meanwhile that portion of
humanity that suffers each year from
the disease simply sneezes and feels
miserable.
