POISON IVY is
WORST AS ITS
LEAVES EXPAND
Best Treatment Held to Be
Iron Chloride, in Radio
Talk by Scientist.

Fs Science SerUios
CHICAGO. MAY 6-Poison ivy is
~ It's worst when its leaves are
young and just expanding. At
least 70 Is in the early spring that
the most cases OF ivy poisoning
occur.
This. OF course. may be due partly
70 the fact that people do not
recognize the plant and. therefore.
fail 70 avoid It as they do later.
said James B. McNair OF the Fielo
Museum Of Natural History. in
radio talk given today under su-
spices OF Science Service.
The talk went on the air over
the network OF the Columbia
Broadcasting system.
McNsir denied the old notion that
poison ivy Is most venomous when it
Is in bloom. and also the belief that
its pollen is poisonous. The pollen
OF poison ivy. he said. has none Of
the poisonous material in IL. and
even II it had. - could not do any
mischief at a distance, for it is
sticky pollen OF the type borne by
insects. not the dry. powdery type
adapted for wind transportation.
Poison Is Kind Of Resin
The real poison Of poison ivy,
McNair said. is a kind Of resin.
that travels through the stem and
out into the leaves in a series OF
special tubes. and not in the general
sap stream.
Some of this resinous stuff has 10
reach the skin before poisoning can
occur. II can not travel through
the air in any way. although per-
sons who have not touched poison
ivy still can be poisoned by contact
with garden tools or other articles
that have been brushed through its
leaves.
People vary greatly in their sus-
eeptibility to ivy poisoning, McNaIr
stated. and some forsunates are ap-
psrently quite immune to any ordi-
nary contact. Many remedies have
been proposed. but the one ne
recommended is a solution Of an
iron salt.
Iron Chloride Is Preventive
'The best and most effective pre-
ventive proves to be iron chloride.
which completely neutralizes the
poison, though is effective as a rem
edy only If used in the very early
stages" he said. The use Of iron
chloride to the extent OF 5 per cent
In half and half mixture of alco-
hol and water is recommended.
If the hands and face are bathed
freely in this solution, either before
or Immediately after one goes into
a region known to contain poison
ivy or its kindred plants, no i'll
effects need be expected.
The remedy is cheap. is easily
obtainable at any drug store, is
nonpoisonous and safe"

ment Day broadcast will take place on

ute program from Washington, D. G.,

Although the national program has
not yet been announced, Mrs. Davis
said, the Commute period will consist
partly Of news from All club boys and
girls from Adams county, Washington.
The entire program will come over
KHQ and Mrs. Davis suggests that if
any of the local club members do not
have radios, it would be nice for them
to meet together for this program,
and thinks it would be nice indeed
if they do this, if they could send a
telegram to KHQ, saying that they are
listening in and enjoying it.

Work at Priest
Rapids to Start
Next Monday
POWER CANAL TO BE WIDENED
AND DEEPENED; EQUIPMENT
TO BE REPAIRED

At a hearing held in Spokane last
week, the receivership for the irriga-
ton project in this valley was termin-
ated and Receiver Marvin Chase dis
charged.
The deed, signed by Judge j. STAN
ley Webster of the Federal Court,
transferring title to the properties to
the Priest Rapids Irrigation District,
has been received by the district di-
rectors and has been forwarded to
Prosser for record.
The deed was made out in duplicate,
one for filing in Benton county and
one in Yakima, as the power plant
and part of the transmission line be-
tween the power plant and pumping
station are located in Yakima county.
The original deed carried $45 in rev.
enue stamps, 81 for each $1,000 involved
in the transaction.
The district directors have about
completed their plans for the develop
ment work that will be undertaken at
Priest Rapids this winter This will
consist in deepening and widening
the power canal and the repairing Of
certain parts of the generating equip
ment in the plant itself.
AS much Of the development as pos
sible will be done by manual labor in
stead of machinery, especially in the
reconditioning of the power canal. This
will furnish work for men who would
otherwise be unemployed during the
winter.
The board says that as far as pos
sible only local help will be employed,
with preference being given to those
using water from the project. The
amount of cash available for this de-
velopment is limited and the board
plans to pay for most of it in war
rants that will be acceptable as main
tenance next year. The fund is suffi-
GENTLY large, however, to provide food
and lodging for the men while en-
ployed on the work.
Because of his intimate knowledge
of the project gained through the six
years of receivership, and because of
his engineering experience acquired
through long years of association with
most of the important irrigation pro-
jects of the West, Mr.. Chase has been
employed by the district directors and
will have charge of all development
work undertaken this winter.
Those desiring work on the project
can file their applications either in per-
son or by telephone at the Bank or
with D. S. Wilkinson, secretary of the
board.
At least two dump trucks will be
needed Monday morning and it is ex-
put to work next week.

White Bluffs Women Have
Car Robbed in Yakima

After having spent last Friday shop
ping in Yakima Mrs F.. A. English and
Mrs. l.. c. Robinson, upon returning
to their car, which they had parked
near the Donnelly hotel, surprised a
man busily engaged in an attempt to
remove two bridge lamps they had
placed in the car earlier in the after
noon. Startled by the appearance of
the two women, the man dropped the
lamps and leaped into his own car,
left with the motor running, few
feet away, drove through an inter-
section and was out of sight before help
could be summoned. Upon examination,
about $500 worth of merchandise was
found to have been taken, the list OF
stolen articles including several pairs
of shoes, hose, tweed coat, perco-
lator, one of the lamp shades and a
dress. The robbery and the number Of
the thief's car license were reported
to the Yakima police department by
Mrs English, but so far no trace of
the stolen goods has been found.

Congressman Summers
Is Visitor in Valley

Congressman John w. Summers was
a visitor in this valley few hours last
Thursday in the interest of his cam
paign for reelection. The district is a
large one and in order for Mr.. Sum-
mers to visit all of the communities
his stops are necessarily short.
During his stay in White Bluffs Mr..
Summers greeted number of friends
and acquaintance and also visited
both of the warehouses in town where
he made short addresses, the manage
ment at the two warehouses kindly
consenting to stop the machines in
order to give the workers an oppor-
tunity to hear their Congressman.
In his talks Mr.. Summers pointed
out the various measures he had either
sponsored or supported in Congress in
the interests of the fruit growers,
ranging from pest control to inspection
and marketing. He said he could act
intelligently on such matters as he had
small orchard of his own and there
fore had a personal knowledge of the
problems and difficulties by which the
average grower is confronted.
On his way back to Kennewick late
in the afternoon, he stopped in Han
ford, where he also spoke at the ware
house in town and greeted acquaint-
ances.

WOman's Club Notes

At business meeting, held on Oc-
tober &c, Mrs. F.. A. English presi-
dent of the White Bluffs Woman's
Club, announced that the District Fed
Grafton of Woman's Clubs will meet
at zillah on Friday, November 4. All
members of the local club are urged
to attend.
Owing to the press of electoral mat
tiers which are possessing many of
the members of the cast as we'll as
much of the potential audience, the
Club Vodvil has been postponed until
after election. A definite announcement
as to the date will be made soon.
With the clubs annual series of card
parties not far distant, it was decided
that cards and score pads should be
purchased by the club, thus obviating
the necessity of each member loaning
cards for these occasions. Additional
plates, cups and saucers are also to be
purchased. Mrs. D. S. Wilkinson heads
the committee appointed to care for
these matters.
