Wedding Dates All Golden

An event of singularly gracious
charm, to my way of thinking
is the celebration to take place in
q Midwest town soon of triple
golden wedding anniversary.

And now, after spending this
great span Of years together

OF them it may prove to be-they
came together again, mellowed by
experience, ,broadened by living,
to acclaim by the fact Of this cele-

HAY FEVER
DOPE

Hay-fever is not caused by hay
and fever is not one of its syp1p-
toms, declares r. p. Wodehouse,
who writes in Hygeia of the
causes of early summer hay.
fever.
This type of hay-fever is often
called rose cold" but the name
implies an association in time
rather than causaI relationship.
Roses are poorly equipped to
cause the malady,. since they
produce little pollen and 1t is
not buoyant, Mr.. Wodehouse says.
Blooming at the same time as
roses are many species of grass.
Their flowers are inconspicuous
and not attractive, but they shed
enormous quantities OF pollen.
To this pollen is due the greater
part of early summer hay-fever.
Five types of grass that are
important factors in the produc-
ton of hay-fever are described
sweet Vernal grass, June or blue
grass, orchard grass, timothy and
redtop. These are almost uni
versally distributed throughout
North America. They have long
Towering periods and produce
pollen that is easily dispersed by
the wind.
IN the arid parts of the United
States Bermuda grass and John
son grass are the most serious
causes Of hay-fever. Several
weeds frequently play an import
ant part. English plantain sheds
large quantities of air borne pol
len. OF somewhat less import
ance are dock, Russian thistle.
pig weed and others that belong
to the late summer group OF hay
fever plants.
The Prince of Wales plans to
use an airplane for travel about
the country in filling his numer-
Gus engagements. A special fast
army two.seater plane has been
allotted for his use at Northolt
Aerodrome, near Harrow.

tina are to be constructed In

CHILD NEEDS
MEAT

AS long as child is growing
he needs protein to take care of
growth and the rebuilding Of
tissues. After he has his growth
a smaller amount will do. Since
meat is the best source of pro-
tein, the growing child needs
meat. says Elsi F.. Raider, writ-
ing in the May Hygeia.
Chicken, veal, beef and lamb
are the best meats and the kid
neys, brains, liver and heart are
the best parts. Meat given to
children should, of course, be
tender. well cooked and finely,
divided.

MERCHANTS To

Three thousand merchants Of the
country have appealed to the Com
merce Department for reinforce.

petition of the rapidly gaining chain
store systems.
At last the country independent
distribution system has awakened
70 the necessity of applying the

as has been adopted bv producefs
since the war.
Officials said today that more
than 1850 copies tf a pamphlet

the last week.
New Problems Created
In many cases new problems of
buying. selling and credit have
arisen necessitating special investl.
cations by the department. Among
the most unique of these was the
pathetic story ola blind confection-
ary operator who. because OF his
affliction. could not meet the ccm-
petition of rivals. An expert Is
studying the problem and the re-
suits will be published for the bene-
lit of all blind merchants.
Commerce experts figure there Is
loss of $4,000, 100000 annually in
the movement of manufactured and
agricultural commodities between
producer and consumer. Just where
this tremendous sum goes nobody
knows and until the reason for
the loss is discovered living costs

Production Known
The Government makes available

the great volume of manufactured
material goes every year is
puzzle.

this is available, long step will
