GARDEN CITIES HELP TRAFFIC
Trsnsfe-ence of Part of Population Relieves Congestion on Cars
 in London.

Dense morning fogs have combined with the now chronic congestion of passenger traffic to make Londdners realize too yiytd'y the inconycnicnces of an over centralized population, re- marks the London Times. London is undoubtedly too large for health, for happiness and for economical living and production; and. although the amenities Of life in this and other great cities have in some ways been increased by providing dormirories at a distance from the work room, the problem of daily transit has been pro- portiouatcly intensified.
 Much k to be said for the garden suburb, but even more for the garden ely. The two are often confused or falsely Identified. but from the point of view Of transport the difference be- tween Is fundamental. Garden sub daily traffic of a great town to more distant circumference; garden cities, a permanent trausference of a section of the population to a less crowded center.
 Every inhahitant of a garden suburb who works in the city contributes twice a day his or her share to the ever increasing problem of traffic con- gestion The colouist of garden city, on the other hand. definitely relieves the overcrowded Ccnters Of the duty of transporting him to and from his work and catering for him and his. Dwell CTS in garden suburbs are excursion iSts; the garden citizen is an emigrant. It is of the nature of the community to which he belongs that he shall not only sup, sleep, breakfast and Oc- casionally play lawn tennis and grow beans or roses there, but shall work there as well: and for his reward as a pioneer he escapes the strains anu stretches of the srraphanger.

BEARDS AS BILL COLLECTORS
Author Gives Possible Reason Why Most Publishers Prefer the Clean
 Shaven Face.

Herbert Jenkins, the London pub fisher who occasionally losses or a book himself, tells the story of how on one occasion when he was dining with an author and editor, the author suddenly called his attention to q man sitting alone in q far corner of the restaurant.
 That man." remarked the author, "has character. He has a publisher from whom he can never extract money. What do you think he dId?"
 Mir. Jenkins shook a dubious head.
 He went to the publishers office and demanded payment. There was nothing doing. Without ceremony he seized the publisher by the beard and announced his intention of hanging on until he got a check. He got hls money.

Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations wa"n hN Dr. William ShrpregreIl, president of the American Hay Fever Prevention association. are reported in a paper ruhlished by him. As 8 result ol a wccG-cutting campaign carried out iA New Orleans in the spring ot l3lj the number of hay fever casos was rc- duccd 10 less than 5o per cent of the usunl prevalence. The "cOld storage treatment of the disease, in which practicany all ventilation Is excluded in order to insure the absence of at- mospheric pollen. is said to afford only transient relief. while the low tem- pcrature is likely to cause bronchitis. The effects of an abundant rain on hag fever paticnts is beneficial because the rain not only washes the pollen out of the air, but also permanently removes it's toxic qualities, so that il is harm less when again blown into the air after the rain is over. This has been proved by laboratory experiments, in which pollen, after SUhmrrsi"n in wa ter, was inhaled by hay fever subjects without any apparent effect.
