Belgian Agreement

issue ail European nations have been sensitive.
Delay in paying war debts to the United states ha'
been caused largely through the cost of present
military forces. Curtiilmcnt evidently is possible
ouy in reducing the army and navy budgets. The
political powers are reluctant. however, to revise
budgets along the suggestions made by the Coolidge
administration.

ing commission that Belgium reduce its cXpcndi-
lures for military purposes by fifteen million do.
lars annually not received with any degree OF
enthusiasm-in fact fiat refusal to do so was
made. according to press dispatches.
Belgium frankly admits that tn" League Of Ma
tons is not to be depended upon for protection
against Germany. Reports from Plymouth, VT, in
dictate that kind of an agreement may be
reached ultimately. It is admitted however, that
the diplomatic situation the payment Of war
debts far France and Belgium arc concerned
have reached acute stage, and that both nations
must arrive at some basis of payment lntimatonS
from Washington that agreements must be

President Coolidge has been firm in his decision
that war debts must be paid, but he has voiced I,

The situation regards the funding of the Be-

down in this conference is expected to determine

Wind Borne POllens Cause Hay Fever

goosc-roots, amaranths, docks, rag
weeds and wormwoods.
The type Of hav fever which be
gins in April and extends through
May, June and July, is probably
caused principally by the pollcns Of
the grasses. In the east. red top is
sometimes the offender but more
particularly timothy and June grass.
In the middle west, June grass and
sweet vcrnal grass are the princi-
pal hay fever producers during these
months.
Summer hay fever, which begins
in June and extends through July
and August. to September, is caused
largely by tho Goosc-foots, docks and
amaranths. These groups are minor
causes Of hay fever in many states
but arc important principal causes
of hay fever in some.
The type Of hay fever which begins
in August and continues until the
first frost is caused largely by the
pollen from the rag weed, which is
found in nearly all sections of the
country east of Kansas, although in
the southwest the amaranth group
again is the principal cause Of fall
hay fever.
Investigations would tend to show
that the most severe cases Of spring
hay fever occurring in the eastern
part of the country arc caused large
ly by the pollen Of timothy. 1t has
been estimated that between 80 and
80 per cent of the cases Of hay fever
that occur in the east are caused in
the spring by the pollen Of timothy
and in the fall by the pollen of rag
weed.
When we realize the very consid-
cradle number Of people affected
with hay fever and tho great suffer
ing which it entails. VIC can apprc
catc the Importance Of concerted
efforts to prevent this disease. The
first important step in the work OF
prevention is the education Of the
public in the responsibility Of the
pollens Of certain weeds for causing
hay fever. When the public realizes
! that the common weeds arc the
causes of suffering to many people
who may be living at distance it
| will view these weeds from new
angle and will make use Of one Of
the many ways Of DESTROYING them
or at least preventing them from
! reaching the stage of pollination.
