Doc Millener Says Electricity
Is the Real Cause of Hay Fever

Comes now DR.. F. H. Millener
sage. experimenter and erstwhile Gus
todian at Union Pacific headquarters
with the theory that electricity is to
blame for hay fever.
Lest the legion of hay fever VIC
Tins read only this far and then rush
out to order their homes installed
with gas and Ben Franklin's invention
cast into the discard, let it be said that
it's the electricity in the air and not
in the wires.
A hay fever victim, clerk in all ad-
joining office, came blub-blubbing
through DR.. Millener's stronghold
just as tall, hungry-looking reporter
and newspaper man sauntered in on
their quest for items of the day.
Lamping the hay fever sufferer, the
late Union Pacific wireless shark re-
marked: Electricity is indirectly the
cause of that mans malady."
"Zasso. How'szat," chorused the
news cleaners.

lis that pollen, which tine doc says is
the stuff from flowers and plants that
floats through the air and puts the
works" on hay fever sufferers, be-
comes charged with electricity in its
passage through the ozone, creeps
into the victims head and then gives
him shock.
A few years ago, according to DR..
Millener, bis duties included those of
cleaning motors, and he always no.
ticed that hay fever attacked him
after the task was done.
1t now seems that the only way out
of the matter for the hay fever colony
is tor the members to equip them
selves with specially constructed he'll

pean soldiers wear in the trenches, so
as to ward off the electrically
charged, deadly pollen, whatever
that is.

With President Wilson and ma
jority of the party leaders urgently
supporting the senate's naval building
and personnel increases, it is believed
the house will agree to them after ad-
vocates of small navy hsve made
their last fight. In anticipation OF a
close vote, every absent representa-
tive was notified more than week
ago of the approaching contest which
will mark the climax of the national
defense campaign this week.
Appropriations for preparedness
alone will aggregate approximately
$640.000,00 unless unexpected develop
ments should force a reduction in the
naval programs. While the house
this week is bringing defense legisla-
ton to a close the senate will pass the
ship bill, workmen's compensation bill
and conference reports preparatory
for the revenue bill on which stub
born political assault will be waged
by the republicans,
When the amended revenue bill
gets through conference, it is expected
congress will be ready to adjourn.

PREPAREDNESS COST HIGH

Washington, Aug 1.-the impor-
lance of the $2O0,O000oO revenue bill
to which senator's today devoted many
hours of deliberation in caucus is be-
ing impressed upon leaders by the fact
that appropriations Of the session now
nearing completion have broken all
records.
With passage this week of the
$50,000,O00 ship purchase bill and
probable APPROVAL by the house of the
senate's gigantic naval bill, the appro-
priations OF the Sixty-fourth congress
will have exceeded the previous high
record by at least half billion dollars.
While exact figures cannot be COM
puted until the gavel has fallen on the
last supply bill Of the session, the ag-
gregate appropriation by congress for
all purposes probably will aproxi-
mate 81, zoo, 100000 as against $l,ll4.-
100000 for the Sixty-third congress.
Besides regular supply bills which
total as they now stand 81 1857 200, $50,
congress will have added when the
shipping bill is approved more than
$90,000,000 for special purposes. There
also have been contract authorizations
amounting to about $207 600, 900, all of
which would bring the grand aggre-
gate to 81 Ss,000.000 with the uncer-
tain general deficiency appropriation
bill still in the making to be added at
the end of the session.
Special appropriations include $40
100000 for government nitrate
plant: $6,000,000 for good roads; $751;
