NO ONE IS IMMUNE
TO POISON FROM IVY

st. Paul, M1nneSOta-EVery year the
pride Of some people who have boosted
Poison ivy never bothers me" takes
fall.
Today's bulletin from the Mime
sofa State Medical association Is
therefore designed especially to warn
the boosters and all children, that
practically no one is immune to ivy
poisoning. Some are less susceptible
than others, no doubt, but given a suf-
ficient dose of the poisonous oily sub
stance in the plant. recent expert
ments at the University Of Minnesota
have shown quite conclusively that
anybody at all will develop the tell
tale redness or swelling or itching.
This oily substance, called by the
medical books "toxicOdendrol" Is the
active principle present in the sap
of all the common plants that cause
these symptoms. Incidentally all of
them belong to the same plant family
and the poison oak, poison sumac and,
above all, the poison ivy, are the
representatives to be looked out for
in this part of the country. The oak
and sumac are only fake oaks and
fake sumacs, of course, called so be-
cause they resemble the plants they
ape. The poison sumac grows gen.
orally in swamps or on the edge of
them.
sIt is quite true" say the Mime
sofa doctors, that persons who have
| already suffered from ivy poison, may
get a return of their troubles merely
by riding by poison ivy patch on
the road. This heavy toxicodendrol
clings to dust particles or smoke par
ticles if ivy plants are burning and
it may come long way out of the
woods to meet them"
The best protection from the poi
soning still comes from avoiding ini-
tial contact, says the association bull
letin. Wear rubber or leather gloves
which the oil cannot penetrate and
boots or high shoes whenever it is
necessary to touch anything that even
looks like poison ivy or poison sumac
or oak plant. This latter, though it
has leaf that resembles oak, grows
only in low plants and bushes and
may be distinguished easily by the
aid of a good botany.
IF you have already been exposed
says the bulletin, "the best protection
is thorough washing with soap and
water, taking care not to break the
skin and rub in the heavy oil in the
process. This should be done at once
and followed by an application of
alcohol"
Symptoms develop anywhere from
about six hours to nine days after
contact with the poison. The eharac-
teristic symptoms are redness, swell
ing and itching, but there may be
itching without the swelling and with
out the redness and the characteristic
blisters may or may not develop.
Doctors are working on a protec-
tive innoculation from this trouble
some summer disease, the bulletin
concludes. Opinion as to its effec-
tiveness is still divided.

Business Notes

NEW YORK, october 1.-THE holi-
day on Monday, combined with the
cooler weather prevailing, gave mems
wear stores in New York one of their
most active periods in recent weeks, re-
tail executives report. Suits and top
coats were in strong demand, and COOL
weather furnishings, including gloves,
heavier weight socks and underwear,
started to move freely. Hats were also
in greater demand.
Following the active retail trade at
the start of the week liberal volume
Of recorders on novelty jewelry reached
manufacturers in New York, trade
circles report. The demand covered
gold and silver finish jewelry and
aluminium types. In one quarter the
demand for plain gold-finish types was
said to be particularly heavy, inasmuch
as this finish harmonizes with the
strong color trend toward black, brown
and green.
Retailers shopping through the home
wares markets in New York this week
placed tentative orders for large guam
titles of merchandise to be shipped
November /, sales agents said. These
orders, however, were not firm" but
must await confirmation, buyers point
out. AS far as actual sales were con-
cerned, the wholesale markets were less
active this week than last.
Primary market sales Of white sheet
ings and sheets slackened during the
week and the volume placed was only
fair in comparison to some recent to-
tails, selling agents reported. A few
mills, however, are fairly well placed
on advance business, which will keep
them running for some time to come
Interest In holiday goods has not yet
developed very strongly and only q
few sales of solid-colored and colored-
border goods in fancy packages have
been placed, agents said.

RAILROADS PROPOSE
INCREASE IN CHARGES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. October 17.-Substitu-
ton of charge of 81 a ton for the
present charge Of IL cents a ton on
freight handled over their piers when
the freight is moved by trucks has
been proposed by the railroads enter
ing Baltimore. namely the Baltimore &
Ohio. the Pennsylvania and the West
ern Maryland
Hearing on the proposed plan will be
conducted before the Trunk Line Asso-
citation in New York next Wednesday.
The hearing will be attended by Charles
r. Seal, director of the traffic and
transportation bureau of the Baltimore
Association of Commerce.
AT present" said Mr. Seal. "the rail-
roads make only a nominal charge of II
cents ton for freight which arrives in
Baltimore in ships for transportation
10 other points than Baltimore. or for
freight which is brought here for load
ing in ships. OF course, that charge is
founded on the idea that the railroads
will carry the freight in so far as it is
moved beyond Baltimore.
But 1t has developed that some OF
the freight is taken at the pier by
trucks, to be hauled to destination or is
brought from its originating point to
Baltimore by trucks The railroad point
of view Is that the effect of this is to
make its wharfage facilities available
for the trucks.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY III. N. McGILL

6OlLOT MCollL SOHIlOuIts ocIflCe
AUBURNDALE, Mass, October II
P)-The favorable effect on commod-
ity prices which resulted from the pro-
posal of President Hoover to form a
national credit corporation to relieve
frozen credits in some of the banks
has been continued during this week.
All Commodities.
AS measured by the McGill Com
modify Index. all commodities showed
a fractional gain from last weeks level.
Out of IA individual groups, were up.
remained the same and 3 declined.
The plan for forming a national credit
corporation succeeded in creating bet
ter sentiment in regard to the banking
situation. This has been reflected in
a firmer tone in the commodity mar
kets this week. The uncertain condi-
tions IN connection with the trouble
between China and Japan and the po-
litical situation in England and Ger
many have had no unfavorable effect
on prices. The marking up of the
Federal Reserve rediscount rate TO 312
per cent has created interest, mas
much as usually in the depression stage
of the business cycle money rates are
at the low point. The question has
been raised as to whether or not this
signifies inf1ationary tendencies AS the
MAKEUP resulted from the outflow of
gold to foreign countries and to hoard
ing. which has been estimated at over
81 900, 900. 900, there is no reason to eX-
pect an increase in commodity prices
on this account. These Withdrawals
do not represent business usage and
consequently will have no effect on
prices.
Industrial.
Industrial prices showed no change
from the previous week. Paint ma
terials. fine and coarse textiles and
vegetable oils We're higher Building
materials, hides and leather and paper
showed declines Chemicals, fuels.
non-ferrous metals and ferrous metals
remained the same. The attitude Of
producers of commodities in depression
levels such as We are now witnessing
in contrast with prosperous times is
Illustrated by the fact that conferences
are scheduled for this month of the
important producing interests in coal,
rubber and copper. Recent reports on
supplies of both rubber and copper in
dictate that inventories are at the hign-
est point ever attained.
Agricultural
Agricultural prices showed an up
turn this week for the first time since
the last week in August. Wheat and
cotton were particularly affected by
the possibilities of q Chinese-JapaneSe
war.
