There seems to be in certain fami.
lies tendency toward what Is called
allergy. q form Of sensitiyity where
by the taking into the body Of Ger
tain forms Of protein results in symp-
toms that are known as allerg;c
symptoms. For example, hay fever
and asthma may run. in familieS--
one member Of q family may have
hay fever, another asthma, another
may break out with eruptions o;
hives on eating certain foods.
When both parents suffer from
some form Of sensitivity, there is q
likelihood that at least one-half their
children will probably develop some
form Of sensitivity during life. These
allergic manifestations may skip one
generation and the mother and
father be free, whereas the children
display various types Of allergy. IN
vestigations made with the special
idea Of allergy in mind revealed some
family history Of sensitivity In al
most so per cent Of cases. In one
series Of cases, when both mother
and father had sensitivity, 80 per
cent Of the children developed such
q condition within the first 10 years
Of life.
The nature Of the sensitivity de-
veloped, as pointed out by Dr.. War
rem T. Vaughan, depends largely on
the conditions in which one lives.
Thus people who live in the British
Isles develop hay fever chiefly from
exposure to grasses, while in the
United States most cases of hay fe-
yer are associated with the pollens
Of the ragweed. In this country the
concentration of ragweed pollen in
the air is much greater than that of

New Worlds for Science to
CONQUER

When Professor Robert A. Millikan
remarks that the new discoveries
about cosmic rays are apt to change
the worlds ideas on the origin and
destiny of the universe, he simply en-
phasizes the fact that new realms OF
knowledge are opening up these days
faster than their significance can be
appreciated.
A few decades ago it was felt that
science had come fairly close to a
final understanding of matter. The
limits to the possibilities of human
knowledge were not far off.
Then came a host of new discover
les that revealed whcle series of new
horizons beyond what had beer,
thought to be the final one. DR.. Mil
likan's discovery of the cosmic rays
is only one among group. Science
is facing new mysteries infinitely
more profound than the ones 1t be-
lieved it had solved a generation ago

A Political Pariah

Premier MacDonalds position In
the English campaign is unique in
the political annals Of that nation.
It probably Is the most difficult and
trying ordeal of his entire career.
In London he receives the plaudits
of the crowds. They hail him In en-
dearing terms. He feels that he has
done his nation real service in the
encouraging environment Of No. 10
Downing street, but when he appears
before his constituents in the bleak
village of Seatham, it is different
matter. He is met by hecklers and
opponents who do not pay any at
tention to the dignity of his high
office. They ask leading and enl-
barrassing questions. He has been
dropped from the party's rolls. Vir-
tually he is man without a party,
a veritable political pariah.
Some Of the old constituents stay
by him. Among the miners he seems
to have strong following, but the
labor party machine is making it as
hard for Macdonald as it can. Boos
and coarse epithets greet him and
his arguments are often answered by
Kisses and catcalls.
The English premier Is paying a
heavy price for his political courage.
It would have been much easier to
have gone with the crowd rather than
be true to honest convictions and
turn friends into foes, supporters in
to detractors.
If he wins, however, some of the
support now denied him is bound to
return. There are political experts
in England who predict his triumph
and a return to office as head of the
national cooperative government
which is to last only until England
has passed through its present crisis.

1t was found that the children Of
certain immigrants in New York slept
on felt pillows Of which the chief
constituent was rabbit hair. Most
American children sleep on feather
pillows. Thus more children of i'm
migrants were found sensitive to rab-
bit hair than Of the American popu-
lation, and more of the American
population were found sensitive to
chicken feathers than Of the immi-
grant population.
Miners and bakers were found to
be sensitive to wheat flour, paper
makers to the dust of wood pulp,
laboratory workers to the hair Of the
guinea pigs, and workers around the
race tracks to horse hair.

It Is EyeryOne's Job

Figures made public not long ago
by the American Red Cross indicate
a widespread demand for assistance.
In 10 months just passed 2,500,000
persons have received relief in The
drought regions alone. More than
10000 persons were being aided in
North Dakota, Montana and por-
tions of Washington and the number
is increasing daily as winter sets in.
During the 10-month period re-
ferred to, the public contributed more
than $10,0O0000 for drought relief
and an additional $5,0OO,0O0 was given
by the Red Cross treasury.
There is now less than $500OO 900
in the Red Cross treasury available
for drought relief. This amount Will
fall far short of meeting the de-
mands which cold weather is bound
to multiply. Hence the necessity for
the intensified drive now in progress
in Bismarck and other cities of the
nation as we'll as in rural commune
ties where farm produce is being
given where cash is not available.
It is everyone's job. Those who
have steady positions must give SO
that the unemployed may not suf-
fer. Regular charitable institutions,
independent Of the Red Cross, must
carry on with their problems doubled
by present conditions. This means
that in addition to Red Cross contrl-
buttons. local charity budgets must
be maintained. There are budgets
other than governmental ones which
must be balanced this fall.
On some days the Red Cross had
more than 100000 families on its
rolls. Lunches have been served to
some $4,000 pupils In more than
5000 schools.
It is not necessary to expand the
statistics. These new figures are
enough to give the people a picture
Of the great relief work going on over
the nation. The American people
gave generously for war relief, a
scourge which never reached Ameri-
can soil. Now the suffering is in our
midst. It can be seen and the re-
sponse should be more prompt and
more generous than during the war,
when quotas were exceeded in nearly
every section of the nation.
There is no agency that can meet
the present demands for succor but
the American Red Cross. It is Or
ganized and in the field and unless
the dollars are sent to the relief
zones, in many states misery will
grow and people will starve despite
the fact that this nation IS still the
richest in the world and food abounds
regardless of the business depres-
sion.
It would be reproach for any
community to fall short OF its quota.
The ambition should be to exceed 1t
and show that the quality OF our
mercy is not strained.

Not By Bread Alone
(NeW York TimeS)

In the plans for relief this winter
1t should be kept in mind by all that
man does not live by bread alone.
The spirit, the morale, of the indi-
vidual is in even greater need Of
nourishment In such times. The
president in a recent message to the
recreation workers in America and
Canada emphasized this, saying:
All agencies which help to build
health and character are espe-
cially necessary In these days and
merit whole hearted and gener-
Gus support.
Mr.. Clifford, chairman of the presi-
dents Organization on Unemploy-
ment Relief, while stressing the un-
employment relief programs, added:
It Is important, however, that
localities give careful considera-
ton to a well-rounded commu-
nifty program and undertake to
carry forward health work where
needs will be increased; child
care, which will present even
greater demands If the welfare
Of children Is to be looked after,
and that considerable group Of
activities of so-called character
building agencies for whose serv-
ices there has probably never
been a greater need, If the morale
of the young people and adults
is to be maintained.

lea, composed of 24O welfare agencies

sons last year, saying that there

A lowering Of public health and NOR.

1t is paramount that the con-

family case work, its child care,
its public health work, its recrea-
tional service, must not be al
lowed to deteriorate because of
the winters extraordinary de.
mands for unemployment relief.
As these services were supported
when all the resources Of the natior
were required to win the war, so they
should now be continued in the sam,
spirit. Our relief needs must be met
not at the expense of essential com
munity services, but through the pro
