Four Members Favor Rate
Boost but Do Not Care to
Take Formal Action.

The city council, it was indi-
Gated today, will take no action
on the plea of the Indianapolis
Street Railway for increased
fares.
A resolution referring the company's
case back to Mayor Shank and Tay,

may be introduced next Monday night.
Mayor Shank has remained silent.
Groninger has favored immediate "re-
lief for the company.
Four OF the nine councilmen today
said the street railway company
should have more revenue. They said
increased fare was the only solution,
but deplored some phases OF present
service. Two councilnen were against
a fare boost and two still were hn-
decided.
Outside Jurisdiction
Every councilman pointed out the
lack Of jurisdiction OF the council and
charged buck passing" and that they
were being made the goat" Of the
city administration. Some Republican
members said they would not even
|vote for a resolution referring It TO the
mayor declaring that a fare increase
was clearly up to the pubic service
commission.
Here's what coUnclirnen ssid:
WALTER ". WISE. Republican,
president OF tie council-From ell ap-
pearances Il seems the car company
needs relief. Whatever fare increase
Is granted should be temporary and
transfers should be given free. Talk
Of some civic clubs to force the com
pany into the hands OF a receiver is
absurd. Any one knows that would
bring fares up to Z or cents and
not maintain efficient management.

FARMERS AID BILL
PROCEEDING SLOWLY
McNary- -Haugen Measure Makes
Slow Progress in Household
of Amendments Defeated.
SUBSTITUTES OFFERED
Black Attempts to Pave Way for
Beer Proposal.

Slow progress was made in the
House yesterday with the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill as 1t encoun-
tered the first flood of amendments.
All were rejected-either voted down
or thrown out on points of order.
For four hours the measure was
considered under the flve-minute rule
and the reading of only two of the
bills twenty-eight pages was COM
pleted. The section disposed of was
a preliminary one defining the emer-
gency for the legislation, and just
before adjournment a dozen or more
members were on their feet to offer
amendments to the second section.
Action, however, went over until this
week. probably Thursday, when con-
sideration of the bill will be resumed
1t is the intention of House leaders
to devote the. first part of the week
to other legislation.
Votes on Amendments.
None Of the votes on amendments
yesterday. leaders agreed. could be
considered a test of strength, as there
was no organized effort on the part
Of opponents to alter the Introductory
provisins. Such an attack, it was
indicated. prbably will come this
week.
Contrary to expectations of many
members, there was no attempt to
kill the bill by offering a motion to
strike out the enacting clause.
Three farm-relief bills were offered
as substitutes for the McNary-HauEen
bill, which would set up a corporation
with a capital of s200,00O.0O0 to mar
ket surplus farm products abroad, but
all went out on points of order sus.

HAY FEVER VICTIMS
1mmunizing Treatment as Specific
as Any in Medical
Practice.
EARLY ACTION IS NEEDED
Free Clinic Here for Women Un-
able to Pay.

August seems a long way off, but to
victims of the autumnal variety of
hay fever and of pollen asthma, dis
tressing accompaniment of many hay
fever cases the time will pass quickly
enough. Nor is it any too soon for
women and girl sufferers to begin the
preventive treatment offered through
the clinic of applied immunology
maintained by the Social Service
House, 1022 11th street, by the Wom-
ems Welfare Association.
Experience has shown that this i'm
munizing treatment for pollen asthma
is as specific as any which exists In
medical practice, state those in charge
of the clinic, who recommend. to Sc
cure best results, that the course be-
gin from ten to twelve weeks in ad-
vance of the date of symptoms.
These usually begin with the flower
ing of the ragweedS in August, and
terminate only with the first frosts
This springs excessive rainfall, 1t
may be noted, will undoubtedly pro-

symptoms Of Asthma.
According to the clinics statistics
asthmatic symptoms appear sooner
or later in more than 40 per cent of
lay fever victims, with the ever
present danger of asthma becoming
perennial aftliction. Pollen asthma
is distinct from the several types or
bronchial asthma, but is just as dis
tressing.
The injurious effect of pollen
grains is brought about by the direct
action thereof upon deep inhalations,
and also indirectly through the con-
veyance to the lung of absorbed pol
blood
some extreme cases asthma fncapaci-
tates the patient during the entire
hay fever season.
Giving Seasonal Therapy.
The clinic is now giving seasonal
therapy to the victims of the summer
type of hay fever. caused by the pol
lens of the various grasses. Sweet
vernal grass has passed the height
of its Towering period. June grass
and perennial rye grass are in bloom,
and within a few days orchard grass
will be shedding pollen. The height
of the yernal hay fever season will
be reached in about ten days, when
timothy and red top grass come into
bloom.
The clinic for the preventive treat
ment of hay fever and of pollen
asthma is held on Tuesdays at pm.
1t is supported by voluntary contri-
buttons from friends of the Women'S
Welfare Association. Owing to linn
tied facilities, the treatment is given
only to those working women and
girls who are unable to pay private
physicians for medical service.
