HAY fever A[|B|,

! DR.. Harry S.. Bernton De-
cIares Old Belief as to Cause

That roses, goldenrod and other
plants with bright flowers. which are
pollinated by insects, cause hay fever
is a fallacy was the statement of DR..
Harry s. Bernton, member Of the
medical faculty of Georgetown Uni
versity and special expert of the
United States public health service,
speaker of the evening at the meeting
Of the Biological. Society of the. Dis
trict held Saturday night at the Cosmos
Club. The continued exploitation.
therefore, Of their pollen extracts In
the prevention Of this widespread
disease. he added. is unwarranted.
Or. Bernton. who is head of the clinic
of applied immunology of the. Wom-
ans Welfare Association, has had long
practical experience with the group
of ills commonly grouped under the
title of hay fever"
1t has been estimated that per cent
of the population of the United States
is subject to hay fever. according to
DR.. Bernton. who pointed out the
economic Importance Of the impaired
efficiency of no fewer than 1900, 900
people from this cause. Asthma, the
most dreaded complication, makes its
appearance earlier or. later in more
at the Womans Welfare clinic here.
Family predisposition to the disease
has been pretty generally proven,
which renders Of. the greatest i'm
portance the recently developed desen-
sitizing of the young, upon the first
evidence of susceptibility. This can
be determined by skin tests. The
medical history of hay fever is quite
lengthy, although the proper i'm
munization treatment is comparatively
recent, DR.. Bernton pointed out. The
first case recorded is as far back as
1873. In 1919 the disease was
recognized as clinical entity, while
in 1893 a physician suggested, but
was unable to prove that the cause
Of the disorder was the pollen OF
Towering plants that are pollinated
by the wind. In 1855 the first proof
Of this was advanced by Blackley
an English physician, who suffered
himself from the disease and referred
to it as the annual torment"

tials are, respectively highest and

est, and the lowest negative potential
where oxidation is weakest
investigations have proved" said
DR.. Grille, ''that the brain has the
highest rate of oxidation, and the
liver the lowest. Hence we cannot
avoid being led to the hypothesis that
the body's positive pole is the brain
and it's negative pole the liver. Be-
tension there is a continuous flow Of
electrical energy, conducted over the
nervous system. The difference of
potential between these two points is
what causes life to be maintained.
This hypothesis is an adequate in
depreciation of the fact that when
either the liver or the brain is re-
moved or destroyed, the human or
animal organism perishes, just as
when the cable leading to one of the
terminals of an electrical battery is
cut or injured, the battery ceases
functioning and the machine, which
1t is driving stops.
From this point the theory goes on
to provide a most interesting series
of explanations of the backand-for-
ward pull, which is known to exist
between the brain processes and thc
.'splanchnic' processes; that is, the
functions of the organs in the region

salts. This theory will explain many,
if not all, of the phenomena of life"
4, Such is the gist of the remark able
thesis of this famous physician-a
thesis which has had the effect of a
bombsell thrown into the camp of
traditional medicine and surgery.
Most of the older physicians of course
refused to give their adherence to
DR.. Grille and his ideas, but small
group of younger men has been deep
Iy impressed with the power of this
new idea to explain many facts about
the human mechanism, which have
heretofore defied analysis.
There have, of course, been electri-
cal theories of the body before DIR.
Crile's. such as the "electronic theory
of DIR. Albert Abrams of San Fran
cisco, which created a great contro-
versy, but few of them have been ad-
vanced with as compelling logic as
DR.. Crile's. It's broad outlines are
about as follows:
Each tiny blood cell in the human
body, containing its minute share of
precious bodily salt, is really the
LIQUID element of a small electric wet
battery" without the salt the cell
could not produce electricity; hence
the great Importance of giving the
body an adequate supply of salt. The
ch emical action which causess the
current to flow is spurred on by the
action of oxygen, which is sucked
into the body by the lungs. where it
acts on the blood, which is pumped
into that region by the heart. This
action is known as oxidation. That it
causes a definite chemical change in
the blood is amply demonstrated by
the fact that unoxidized blood is blue
in color, while blood which has been
acted upon by the oxygen in the air
is red. ALL the blood one ever sees
exposed. to the air, even the blood
from q blue vein, is red in color.

One of the most startling of all the

loosing currents of electricity through
certain paths, believes DR.. Grille. Man
is simply a mechanism, an extremely
delicate mechanism, run by electricity

Whether the theory is true or not
will be proved when man succeeds in
constructing the equivalent of a liv-
ing human cell-when, in other words,
we succeed in creating life artifi-

A LTHOCGH the accounts of the
~ recent speed tests at Mitchell
n Field have been complete from
the point of view of the news,
it is doubtful if the public has fully
realized the meaning of the amazing
records that have been hung up by
Lieuts. Brow and Williams of the naval
air station at this city.
Skillful design of planes and exhaus-
tive tests of motors and propellers have
made possible the incredible speeds at
tanned, but it is to the personalities of
these two pilots that the United States
in general and the Navy in particular
owe thanks for these gratifying records.
Given the same planes, other skilled
pilots would probably reach fairly high
speeds. But, unless they possessed ma
lures capable of being raised to a high
pitch by an intense competition-in
word, unless they possessed the ma
lures of Brow and Williams-they
ords. For these records are only in
directly the results of technical skill
and wonderful planes. Directly they are
the results of a keen though friendly
rivalry between the two men.
Veteran flyers both of them, products
of the early war days of naval avia-
ton, they have achieved the highest
honor of their service in being chosen
to represent the aerial branch of the
Navy against all corners, both foreign
and domestic 1t is small wonder,
then, that, having vanquished every out
slider in the Pulitzer trophy race at st.
Louis a few weeks ago, these two pilots
should desire most eagerly to engage in
the supreme test to determine which of
them should wear, though perhaps for
but a brief period, the laurels Of world
champion of the air.
The encounters which have followed
the authorizing of the tests have been
subjects of nationwide, even world
wide, interest, and still the question of
the greatest of flyers can hardly be
called settled.
At the time of writing this article
note that the highest speed is 1866
miles per hour, credited to Lieut. Will
liams, with Lieut.. Brow close on his
heels, with speed of 265.59. Also,
Brow has to his credit a speed of
274.2 in one of his laps, though this
was not an average since he was
helped to this somewhat by a slight
wind. What the final figure would
have been had they been allowed to
continue we can but guess, for as the
speed in each race increased so also
