HAVE YOU A LITTLE
 ALLERCEN IN YOU?
Physicians Discover Peculiar Physica Antiquities Are Cause of
 Suffering

LONDON, March You may have "horse sense" or you may be "horse sensitive"
 In the former contingency you may call yourself fortunate. If you are victim of the latter condition you have an "allergen," and that is very unfortunate.
 Allergen is a new word that is creeping into medical science and that has formed the basis for many interesting experiments. The word signifies some mysterious, unknown creature of circumstances which the the particular dread of an individual.
 Do Cats Alarm You?
 For instances, a person may have an innate, uncomfortable dread of cats. In that case cat is that par ticular individuals allergen. Another person may quivver with horror at the thought of touching a horse is an allergen.
 The belief is becoming prevalent in some circles that afflictions like hay fever, asthma and kindred ail- ments are brought about by some allergen that peculiarly affects cer- tain persons. Many people suffer from nettle rash or difficult breath ing after eating oysters or shell fish. for them fish is an allergen.
 Experiments that have been con- ducted by London physicians have demonstrated that the symptoms attendant upon an allergen may be produced artificiailly. A single horse hair in a wound or scratch will bring on an attack of asthma in a person suffering from horse sensitiveness. The hair of a cat will produce sim liar symptoms in persons suffer- ing from cat sensitiveness. But cats hairs would have no effect upon the horse sensitive individual nor horses hairs upon cat sensitive ones. In other words, these allergens are spe- cific One and only one matters to the sensitive individual. Can Be Infused
 Experimenters have been unable to determine how the sensitiveness has ben found possible to "sensi- tize" animals to various allergens by various means. Once they are sensi- tized they remain so for years and fresh contact will cause them to become ill.
 Treatment of the allergens has been found difficult, for administra- tion of certain drugs and sera have been found to aggravate rather than check the disease. Some drugs and sera have been shown to become allergens for certain pople. A care full study of the medical history of the patient always is essential before treatment can be safely administered ].

MOVIES

There is very touching heart story of real life back of the dummy" char, acter in Mary Roberts Rinehart's s story, "The Glorious Fool" Goldwyn picture, showing at Empress Theater for the last time tonight.
 "Dummy' is not fictitious char acter. He is real. I knew him." says Mrs. Rinehart, and tells how this sweet, speechless old man was ser want in a wealthy family. "The peo- pie became tired of poor dummy, and moved away, leaving him abso- lutely without home, friends, and un- able to state his plight" recounted the author. It seems that "dummy' be- came ill-literally pined away,-and was taken to an emergency hospital. There he became a sort of pet, and was not turned out again into the world, but retained in the institution. Tt is bit of 'dummy's' life that have put into my story,' says Mrs. Rinehart, who complimented Otto Hoffman, who played the part, on his skilful and sympathetic interpretation of the role.

PATIENT URGED TO
 BELIEVE IN DOCTOR
Surgical Errors Rarely Occur Says Sir Alfred Rice-OMey, Famed British
 Physician

LONDON, March "A patient should have complete faith in his doctor" says Sir Alfred Rice-Oxley, famous physician. Public knowledge of medical errors is a mistake.
 "The average layman has been ac- customed to look upon his doctor particularly perhaps his surgeons as infallible Knowing nothing him. self of the mysteries of medical science, he has been content to trust entirely to the practitioner he has selected.
 "The confidential and comfortable relations thus established between doctor and patient are often the first steps to cure.
 "To obtain thoroughly satisfactory results from medical treatment in cer- tain ailments the patient must have complete faith in his healer.
 "It may even be said that it is better for a man to be treated by an indifferently clever or old-fash-, toned doctor whom he can trust than by the most brilliant of specialists in whom he has no belief.
 Sensational stories of surgical mis takes are extremely likely to deter nervous patients from consultative treatment.
 An experience of fifty years tells me that surgical mistakes are so rare as to be almost noneXistent
 NO one but the surgeons who per. form intricate and difficult major operations can understand the perils into which it is so easy to fall.
 "Of the multifarious dressings sponges, ct cetera, used in big operation one might easily escape notice. But does it? Not once in a thousand times.
 "The very fact that a sensation is created when such an oversight does occur is proof of it's rare occurrence.

SHIPPERS APPEALED
 TO BY NEW HAVEN
President Pearson Warns About
 Freight Congestion

New Haven. Jan. 1S.-An appeal to shippers for further cooperation Tn meeting congestion of freight was made by President E. J. Pearson of the N. '. N. H. and H. railroad today. He said in part:
 The freight situation is becoming such that still further cooperation on the part of shippers is necessary for the purpose of stopping the gradually increasing tide of congestion thereby enabling improvement in service and increase in capacity. The present situation is matter not only of concern but also of regret to the management because the improve ments made to the property and the power purchased during the past few years, were all to the end that such traffic situation as at pres- ent could be adequately met. This condition would have been achieved except for the strike of the shopmen.
 The present serious effect of that strike arises from the necessary di- minishing of the customary work of reconditioning locomotives during the several earlier months of the strike Because of the complete absence of men on repairs commencing July l., and the continuation during several months thereafter of intimidation violence and sabotage, which increas- ed the work required and also the difficulty in keeping engines in service, there was a loss roughly equivalent to four months of normal shop output v
 President Pearson said that only 42 locomotives sent for repairs since July had beeI received from outside shops up to January 1 but recruited forces in the company's shops are not keeping up with current requirements.

BABSON SEES SUNSHINE IN OPENING
 OF NEW YEAR, HE SAYS IN STATEMENT

toueisd Locally Only by The HsFsidl,
 Wellesley Hills. Mas, Jan. IS, - Roger W. Babson today issued the following statement in which he fuf- lher discusses the points that aroused greatest interest in hts "outlook for 1898" which appeared in these co.'s umns on January 1.
 whatever 1898 brings forth 1t is starting out exceedingly we'll. As ex. jlained last week. statisticaliy busi- ness is now in better position than 1t has been since october. 1890. Taks ing all sections Of the country and all lines of business. the Bahsonehart Is practically normal today, This com. nares with minus 2lsa year ago, and minus isqb two years ago." says Mir. Babson.
 .of course. the improvement has been % rapid during the past few weeks that it probably cannot hold mp during the entire year Of 1928. However. most lines Of business are doing we'll today and we should make the best of this opportunity. Those who are not ia lines which are im- proving should get busy and find out why. Certainly the ultimate con- sumers of most goods are today in position to buy in reasonable quanti- ties Every businessman should he doing busine1 with them and sharing their prosperity. .
 The farmers are feeling better" continued the statistician. than they have for some years The value in money of the crops just harvested is over 3o9o greater than the value or the previous crop. Tho banking sit uation in tho farming sections 10 Iiauidating. Failures are running only zoo a week compared with 500 or 600 a year ago. My records from the mail order houses show that De- cember has again been q record month, and that most farmers fami- lies had a Hmptuous Christmas. This applies not only to the grain sections of the west, but most cotton sections of the south. Conditions in Texas are better than they have been for some time. Since the textile workers have returned, the cotton mills are very busy. Cotton should remain firm un- tii we know something about next years crop.
 "The iron and steel industry is in A better condition than 1t has been for three. years. Pittsburgh had a prosperous Christmas. Most plants are working So9e of their capacity and the demand for this time of year for their products is exceptionally good. Ordinarily many steel plants close down this season, but there is little chaince of it at present Most railroads are buying locomotives. cars, rails and other track material. Build ing, which is usually dull this time of year, continues to be active, and the demand for brick, lumber and hard- ware Is greater than ever before at this season. The demand for copper is increasing and I would not be sur prised to see higher prices during the next few months The coal industry continues to boom and so long as the present cold weather continues there should be no let-up in the producing end of the industry. Certain sections of the country, however, which have been suffering for lack of coal should soon get plenty. Coal prices should be lower in 1923 than in 1922.
 Foreign trade is holding up better than most people anticipated. Var
New Britain herald., 1923-01-13

ious reasons exist for this but the principal one is the renewed interest which President Harding is taking in foreign affairs. The statements last week by Senator Borah should be beneficial to the foreign trade situa,. ton. Export business is dependent upon confidence. Nothing will help so much 10 restore our foreign trade as a feeling that Europe is to he kept from bankruptcy, My financial friends have been very pessimistie over the European situation during the past few months. Reports which have received this week in regard to Europe seem brighter and more hopeful,
 "rhare is even a bright side to the labor situation as we begin the New Year. Although most employers be- iieve that labor is too high and many feel that it is becoming inefficient, the fact remains that strikes are fewer, There has not been January for many years with so few strikes Ap- parently both capital and labor got a good scare during the railroad strike. for certainly they both lost AS a re suit, both sides have since counted 10 before pulling of a strike or lock. cut. There Is much talk about changing the immigration laws to re. lIeve the situation. It. however. will take more than changing the quota of immigrants. The fundamental dif- ficuity with tho skilled labor htua- ton is that, the war killed, crippled. and shocked . great mass Of work CTS. We complain that men are anx- ious to be clerks instead of plasterers. but the real truth is that the physl- cal conditions of wage workers has. through war and other causes, so de- teriorated them that only small proportion of the men have, today. the physical endurance 10 do the hard manual work.
 ..It, therefore, will be seen that we are starting the year under very hap nv circumstances. The Babsonchart this week registers minus 3qs. Our job during 1923 will not be to open the throttle wider but to hold the prosperity which we have today. This is the task before us. To this end we must work. This means" concluded MT. Babson 'that we must substitute service for greed, thrift for indolence, efficiency for inefficiency. and an honest desire to give a dollar of serv- ice and material for every dollar that we get. If we do this our present rcod conditions could continue through 1898; but if we again get careless, business will again quickly fall of, because these better condi- tions cannot continue without strong and broad foundation on which to build and grow"
