Now that the base ball season is
about at an end. the fall hay-fever
season has begun. 1t commenced
August 25. according to the American
Hay-Fever Prevention Associa ton,
which has issued instructions on how
to take care of ones self if hay fever
attacks.
Washingtonians who are thankful
they have a home anywhere in the
crowded city, will be particularly in
terested in the warning as to the
selection of homes:
"In the selection of homes, hay
fever subjects should choose localities
distant from weed-infested areas. The
pollen of the grasses, and of the sum-
mer hay-fever weeds generally, do
not ordinarily travel very far, and a
mile is usually safe distance. The
pollen of the rag-weeds and other
fall hay-fever weeds, however. are
very buoyant. and. in windy weather,
may travel three to five miles"
Other advice to hay feverists follows:
During their attacks of hay fever,
patients should avoid localities in
tested with weeds generally, and es-
pecially those to whose pollen they
are sensitive.

NEW MELTING PROCESS,
Electric Type, of Furnace May
Revolutionize Brass Making.

The perfection~of a type of electric
melting furnace that may revolution
ize the making of brass has been an
nounced by the bureau of mines. The
new furnace, which, it is claimed, will
reduce the important losses in brass
melting, is the result of five years
experimenting by H. w. Gillett, chem
list Of the bureau, in cooperation
with the laboratory of Cornell Uni
versity, the American Institute of
Metals and number of brass manu-
facturers.
Patents on this furnace, known as
the rocking electric furnace, have
been taken out by the bureau and
have been assigned to Secretary of
the Interior Lane as trustee.
Free licenses to operate these fur
naces under the patents, it is said,
can be obtained through Van H. Man

Leon Trotzky's attitude is once more
closely indicated by an exhortation
Gazeta of Moscow August 3, which
reads:
ITO all: When the Japanese landing
in Vladivostok was prepared in April
the Japanese general staff informed
the entente cabinets that the eastern
Siberian railway was threatened with
danger from German prisoners. Brit
ish officers who went from Moscow to
investigate the matter were forced to
declare officially there was no truth
in the allegation. This fact was
known to Ambassador Francis. Now,
when the entente's Intervention is an
accomplished fact, the American gov
eminent backs up the Japanese lies.
According to the wording Of the
American appeal, the aim of the en-
tente's Intervention is to help the
Czecho -Slovaks against German and
Austrian war prisoners. This is as
great a lie as the Japanese declara-
ton about the thpeat of the Germans
against the Siberian railway
Situation in Finland.
Senator Castren, Finnish minister
of the interior, has sent a circular to

danger incurred through incautious
editorial declarations.

leaves much to be desired" he says.
The Finnish authorities are order

sian bolsheviki.
Large quantities of counterfeit
paper money are circulating in the
country districts of Finland. Ameri-
can money changers would be wise to
examine carefully Finnish bank notes

Finland is full of German drummers
who often call for German military
aid when the Firms refuse to sell
goods which they need badly them.

Scandinavian commercial travellers
are beginning to see the consequences
of the erection of the German wall in
the east. They find it difficult and
generally impossible to do any bust
ness owing to the German stranglehold
on Finland's interior trade. In nearly
every telephone station in the Finnish
cities and towns a German soldier is
always sitting on guard.
