REALTORS WORK FOR
1929 HOME EXHIBIT
Signed Contracts Already in;
Blame Weather for Drop
in Crowds.

j. F. Cantwell, director of the
seventh annual Realtors Home
show, which closed Saturday night,
announced today that plans were
already under way for the 1929
show, and that signed contracts
from number of exhibitors are in
his hands.
While unreasonable weather cut
the total attendance a few thou
sand below that of last year, the
public interest was high, and buyers
many. The centerpiece of the show,
the model home, is being torn
down, and will be reconstructed at
once on a foundation already pre-
pared at Forty-Ninth and Grace
land Ave. Bridges and Graves, the
builders, announced that the home
will be open for public inspection
for six weeks before it is placed on
sale.

HOPE TO CURE
HAY fever BY
new EXTRACT
AIbumen Found Active
Agent in Pollen; Season
of Grief Here.
Rv Science Service

WASHINGTON, April 16-The
spring hay fever season is officially
started. Maple and elm trees, oaks,
hickories and walnuts have an
nounced the open season for sneez-
ing by broadcasting their pollen on
the April air. And in return the
first faint hay fever sneezes have
promptly been set off.
Spring hay fever, caused by the
pollen from trees, is less likely to be
recognized than the summer hay
fever due to weeds and grasses, ac-
cording to DR.. Harry S. Benton, as
sociate professor of preventive medi-
cine, Georgetown University Medi-
cal School. Many people who start
sneezing about this time of year at
tribute their symptoms to colds due
to tickle changes Of spring weather.
Hope for some of the battling
cases of hay fever due to grass pol
len is held out this year by DR..
Bernton, through new analyses of
the pollen grains. 1t has been Gus
tomary to find out the kind of pol
len that irritates the nasal tissues
of each hay fever victim, and then
treat the patient with injections
Of that particular pollen extract
until he becomes immune.
Recently, by anaylzing the pollen,
it has been found that a person may
be sensitive to one substance in a
grain of pollen and not to the rest
of the material packed in the tiny
grain. Some cases that have stub
bornly resisted treatment are due
entirely to a sensitiveneSs to the al
bumen fraction in the pollen, DR..
Berton has found. Albumen makes
up only about one-ninth of the
extractable protein in the pollen
grain. So when these patients we're
treated with pollen extract they did
lot get big enough doses Of a. bu-
men to help them. This year, DR..
Benton is reinforcing the extract
OF albumen to see if these puzzling
patients can be rendered Sneeze-
proof.
Foresighted sufferers from sum-
mer hay fever are now having the
usual pollen injections to render
their noses invulnerable by the
time the summer pollens get on the
air. The newer method of having
injections twice a month through
out the year, instead of taking a
steady series of treatments before
each hay fever season is slowly
gaining favor, DR.. Benton said.
This method seems to produce a
more permanent immunity to the
disease, but the average hay fever
sufferer likes to forget his senSi-
tive nose entirely in the months
when he can breathe freely.

oats, z to sc higher. Provisions

There was little change in the
wheat situation. Liverpool failed to
follow Saturdays advance here, but
local bullish sentiment seemed
strong enough to offset this factor
Weather over the central and
western belt sections was a little
more favorable. Cash corn is still
tight.
Corn and oats advanced mostly
on wheat's strength. There was no
news of Importance in corn. Oats.
however, are strengthened by rapidly
dwindling stocks and reports of
serious damage to the new crop.

EAST FREIGHT
RATE REVISION
RECOMMENDED
Examiner Howard HOSmer
Proposes General
Change.
By United Press

BV United Press
WASHINGTON, April 10 A
general revision of freight rates in
eastern territory was recommended
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today by Examiner Howard
Hosmer. Twenty-Five classes OF
freight rates are prescribed in Hos
mer's report and a new scale OF
rates for each class is proposed.
In some cases the new rates are
above existing figures and in others
they are below the present charges.
First-clasS rates in the report are
base don a mileage scale, beginning
at 30 cents a hundred pounds for
the first five miles and running up
to $1.56 for 5000 miles. Second
class rates would be IS per cent of
first-clasS; third-class would be 10
per cent; fourth-class, so per cent;
ffth-class, IS per cent, and sixth
class, 80 per cent.
The firSt-class rates proposed for
the eastern territory are about 70
per cent of those previously pre-
scribed for southern territory.
Increases on rates on fruits, vege-
tables and dairy products would be
prohibited.
Rates 10 per cent higher than the
foregoing basic level are proposed
by Hosmer from points in north
western Illinois, zone G i'm Michi-
gan, zone B lin New England, GER
tain branch lines of the New York
Central in northern New York and
certain branch lines in Virginia,
West Virginia and Kentucky to
other points in the Official eastern
territory.
Authorizes Desired Groups
The report authorizes a grouping
proposed by carriers of New York
City and states new basis of rates
substantially the same as those pro-
posed by the railroads.
Hosmer disapproved addition of
constructive mileage" (meaning ad-
ditional charge for over water trans
portation at Baltimore and Phila-
delphia), and recommended basing
the distance there on central points
in those cities.
The report recommended that
standard rail rate to lakes and from
Chicago be made IS per cent of the
all rail rate and rail lake rates via
Chicago and 90 per cent of the all
rail rates, but recommended no
other finds as to water rail rates.
