who plunged to death from the roof
Of the History Hotel Surrey, was
today reported to be IN s state Of
complete collapse.
She lies in Park West Hospital,
shattered of nerve and overwhelmed
by grief. She is being guarded to
prevent her doing possible violence

Extra precautions have been taken

She has been attended by four
nurses, by two eminent neurolo-
gists and by DR.. Newton B. Walker,
the Guggenheiln family physician.

In view Of her condition the au-
thorities have been reluctant to
press their investigation OF the

DR.. Norris said that the outstand-

to describe clearly how the children

Mrs. Waldman was alone with the

NEW YORK, M. &, Oct. 81. The
fourth and final phase Of Gov. AI
Smiths thrust for the presidency
opens today In the ancient Repub-
1can stronghold OF Pennsylvania.

problem of farm relief; the border
States, where the religious and pro.
hfbition issues flame brightest. and
New England, where industrial con-
ditions are possibly worse than any.
where else in the country. are now
behind him. Governor Smith has
campaigned them all and he i con-
fident.
He begins his 10 days conquest Of
the Middle Atlantic States, with
their hodge-podge Of issues, in q
hopeful and satisfied frame Of mind.

Something Ii in the air. he told
reporters. BY that he meant that
as 4 veteran campaigner he sensed
i trend in his direction. It Is incon.
ceivable to him, he said, that the
hundreds OF thousands OF people
who have come out to cheer him in
the past few days are going to limit
their support to mere cheers. He
thinks they win say 1t with votes on
November s as well.
Governor Smith considers that the
speech Of his opponent, Herbert
Hoover, at Madison Square Garden,
last Monday night, Is the turning
point OF the campaign. In that
speech, Hoover caaracterizeg Gov
ernor Smiths ideas on farm relied,
water power control, and prohibition
as state Socialism.
Since that speech, Senator George
w. Norris, the Nebraska Progress
sive leader, and Senator young
Bob" LaF'olIette, in Wisconsin,
have Endorsed the Smith candidacy.

nominee leaves New York today

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis r. BiscIl

HAY FEVER time II about
IL over ii the northern sections
OF the country. but when the at
tacks are i thing of the past il
just when one should consider the
steps to be taken to avoid rec.ir-
renee.
III, for instance, benefit II to be
derived from preventive inocula-
tions, these should be begun
months before the hay fever at
tacks are due. And the same may
be said about the state Of the con-
stitution and nerves. One cannot
strengthen the system all Of
sudden. The time for building up
is the time between seasons.
Hay fever is one Of the most
stubborn yet annoying Of affec-
tions. 1t IS caused usually by the
action Of certain pollehs from
plants and grasses which irritate
the mucous membranes Of the
nose and upper air passages.
Some people call it rose fever
because it attacks them when
the roses are blooming. The Au-
tunn months, however. are most
favorable for the development OF
hay fever.
Many different pollens have
been examined and experimental
with. The particular pollen that
starts an attack off in one in
diyidual may leave another hay
fever sufferer quite immune.
Ragwood, rye, and golden rod are
common offenders.
IL you are subject to hay fever
attacks. you should first de-
termine which pollen is your
enemy. Ii you cannot. discover
this yourself. consult your doctor
who, IL he does not make tests
himself. will recommend 4 man
who specializes in this kind OF
work. 1t is very simple matter
as a rule to discover which pollen
is poisonous.
After this fact is settled, injec.,
tions Of the pollen poison are IN
jected under the skin at regular
intervals and in increasing doses,
until the resistance OF the patient
to the particular offending pol
len Is raised. In this manner the
patient is prepared for the time
when the plant in question flour
ishes. Then he usually can with"
stand the pollen effects upon his
overSensitive mucous membranes
with impunity.
A nervous factor frequently ac-
companies hay fever. do n0L
mean that hay fever makes people
nervous. OF course it does. 1t is
a most ennervating affection. But
hay fever victims are OF a high
strung, nervous makeup anyway.
Mind you, the constant sneez'
ing. wheeling and running or the
nose Is not put on or exaggerated.
Far from it! However, 1t has
been found that those who are
tense and active, who readily be-
come excited, are the most suscep'
tibIe to hay fever and therefore
any nervous. disorders should al.
ways be attended to.
Women tend to develop nay
fever more than men. Often, too.
members of the same family are
so afflicted, pointing to heredl'
tary factors.
The nose and mouth should
also carefully be examined. Any
trouble there which would render
the membranes specially sensitive
should hG corrected.

for the N E. A. and owe q great
debt Of gratitude to the fine men
and women who struggled so
hard to set us on our way. But
we also know that any going bus

it. and that the school teaching
profession is no exception. And
it particularly needs criticism by
the intelligent, sincere members Of
its own clan.
This lese.ma Jeste complex isn't
peculiar to school marms, how
ever. For the last ten years there
has been an epidemic OF 1t. 1t
started with certain censorship
which seemed imperative during
the war period. But it didn't
stop with the war. That censor.
ship idea had gone over great

A questionnaire was sent out to

Among the questions was this
one: "Is it ethical to criticize the

Forty per cent Of those who
answered said that it was not
