DANGER IN WILD FLOWERS
Fever, According to Expers Who
Sounds Warning.

Hay fever is relatively common In
children. bur the reason that this is
not more generally known is that these
attacks are usually mistaken for
colds" writes DR.. William Scheppe-
grell of New Orleans, president of the
Hay Fever Prevention association, In
the Medical Record.
Sometimes child that seems to
have a cold" is taken into a park or
away to the country in the hope that
the fresh air will effect cure, and Ii
is there exposed TO further infection
from the pollen of the plants that are
chiefly responsible.
Besides the ragweeds. which are the
principal offenders. there are several
other wild flowers that. though quite
innocent when left alone. are likely
to cause hay fever II applied directly
to the nostrils of children. Among
these Doctor Scheppegrell warns us es-
pecially against the daisy fleobane. one
of the commonest of weeds. II grows
from one to two feet in height, has
light green almost toothless leaves,
daisylike flowers about half an inch
wide, with a large greenish yellow
disk, white rays occasionally lilac
tinged, shorter than those of the daisy
and sometimes entirely absent.
Other flowers against which Doctor
Scheppegrell warns are the dandelion,
field daisy, blackeyed Susan. and other
of the Compositae family. These are

HIPPODROME.

The continued presence of hundreds
of out-of-town patrons at each perform
ance of Charles Dillingham's monster
musical spectacle, Happy Days" at
the Hippodrome adds new evidence of
the high esteem in which the great
American playhouse is held the world
over. Every visitor to New York ex-
presses the greatest interest in seeing,
first of all, the wonders of the Hippo
drome which, under the direction of
Charles Dillingham;, has become real
amusement institution, and Happy
Days" the now current success, main
tains its best traditions. The three
acts and sixteen scenes contain more
varied entertainment and novelty than
any of it's predecessors, and the use
of the huge tank of real water in the
gorgeous aquatic spectacle, which ends
the pageant, is the outstanding sensa-
ton of the season. MatineeS are CIV
en- daily and seats for the Hippodrome
performances always are on sale eight
weeks in advance, thus giving visitors
from distance all the equality of OPP
portunity afforded New Workers in the
selection of the choicest seats.

APPLE BLOSSOMS" AT THE
GLOBE.

Inspired by New York music lovers
and musicians who went to Baltimore
for the opening and by the praise of
the Baltimore newspapers following
the first performance, New York
awaits with intense interest the New
York premiere of apple Blossoms, "
the new light opera written by Fritz
Kreisler in collaboration with Victor
jacob. Apple Blossoms" with the
Kreisler-Jacobi music and a book by
William LIE Baron, enjoyed its New
York opening at Charles Dillingham; S
Globe Theatre, Tuesday evening, Oc-
tober g.
The Baltimore opening probably was
the most notable premiere in the must
cal history of that city, not only be-
cause of the musical fame of one of
its composers, but because of the great
number of musical celebrities who at
tended the first performance.
The combination of a Kreisler COM
position and Dillingham; production
bespeaks for apple Blossoms" long
and musical history-making tenure at
the Globe, generally conceded to be
Broadway's most popular theatre.

Troops in France.

The most remarkable publication
born of the war appears to have been
THE Stars and Stripes" AS it went
out of business with the final scat
tering of its staff in June It's record is
now open to the public.
The publication was, as Is well
known. the official organ of the Amer
can expeditiOnary forces In France,
and there is no doubt that 1t lived up
to its dignity in handsome manner. 1t
started with a circulation Of 10000,
and this was increased to $4,000 in
less than a year. 1t maintained a
French war orphan fund, to which 49,
900 soldiers contributed 100000
francs, and in its Is months Of life the
paper cleared 100000 francs.
There are other details of its prog
ress and its work, among which is one
to the effect that it printed 500 poems
by soldiers and rejected 10000.
The Editor and Publisher prints an
extended review of the accomplish
ments of the paper, and from it zfhi
learn that its staff at one time or an
other contained something like $50
men. Among them were Sergt. Mai.
Philip Won Blon, managing editor, and
Sergt. Robert I. Snadjr, staff contribu-
tor, both Clevelanders.

An American Solomon.

The story is told of a member of
the American Red Cross, somewhere
on the Syrian side of the African con-
tinent, who found himself faced with
something of the same problem the
solution Of which earned for Solomon,
in ancient days. the reputation of be-
ing the wiseSt Of men. On this occa-
sion the child was that of an Arme-
MAN woman, found in the house of
Turk at Aleppo, and who, the mother
said, had been taken from her when
three years old. The child she claimed
as hers was little girl of seven years
and she gave no sign of recognizing
her mother. The American was puz-
zled to know what to do. An idea
struck him. He told the mother to
sing the lullabies with which she had
been used to rock her baby to sleep
The little girl looked astonished and
thoughtful; then she smiled. Memory
had awakened, and the Armenian
woman had recovered her child.
