RELIEF DISORDER

At the Relief Headquarters at
Tulsa, Oklahoma, Negroes were not
permitted to enter by way of the
front door. but had to remain out
side during all kinds of weather
awaiting supplies. Especially in
the winter months did they suffer
and nit seldom. did a woman faint
from the strain of standing too long
in the bitter cold. Aside from
this humiliation, the food orders
wer enot sufficient to ward of
hunger, and number of them
were slowly starving.
Mrs. Bette V. Pearce of that
city saw how deplorable were these
conditions and began to devise a
plan to remedy them. Through
her efforts an organization of wo-
men bearing her name came to-
gether in January, 1884 to foster
immediate action for relief of the
suffering.
This group Of women, under the
guidance of Mrs. Pearce appealed
to officials of the city of Tulsa and
persons of wealth and position. The
response was spontaneous, for
shortly afterwards a a social Cen
ter was established, the Bette V.
Pearce Social Center, at 1415 N.
Greenwood Avenue. The Soup
Kitchen at the Center supplied
meals to hundreds of men per day;
twenty-six children from the ages
of 3 to 18 without any home con-
nections were fed. Food, cloth
ing and household necessities were
distributed to families. Men with
out families received board and
lodging.

catarrh with an excessive amount
of secretion and attacks of invol-
untary sneezing sometimes lasting
many minutes. The tearing of
the eyes is associated with
swelling of the eyelids. excessive
itching and fear of bright lights.
There is also an itching of the
nose. sometimes even the whole
face. The sneezing is accompan-
led by a thin irritating nasal dis
charge. These symptoms vary
from day to day, often following
rainstorm the patient will have
great deal of relief. The symp-
toms continue until the flowers
whose pollens bring on the condi-
ton are through pollenating. Many
people are sensitive to both gol-
denrod and ragweed and the symp-
toms continue through the summer
nutil the first frost appears.
The treatment consists of two
types-one directed toward easing
the symptoms, the other towards
preventing future attacks. 1t is
needless to say that the best treat
ment is to move to that section of
the country where that specific
grass or flower does not grow.
However, most of us are in no po-
sition to do this. The drug ephe-
drine in some combination seems
to give the most relife, its effect is
the same whether applied directly
to the nose or taken internally.
However it gives only temporary
relief. The more permanent
treatment consists of making the
patient resistant to the pollen by
giving him periodic injections of
pollen extract, making them strong
est during the time when the symp-
toms usually commence and con-
tinuing throughout the season.
Smaller doses are often given dur
ing the intervening months This
treatment is successful if the eX-
citing agent is definitely discover
ed by the tests mentioned above;
making life much more livable

R).-Commodity prices during the
final week of November registered a
slight dip. The price average for the
month of November was slightly lower
than in October, yet the latest figure
stands SO per cent above the low Of
early 1898, and only IS per cent under
the base year 1925 equaling 100. The
questionable status of the A. A. A.
program from the standpoint of its
constitutionality plus the fact that
the seasonal increase in business has
run the bulk of its course, represents
the background for greater price irreg-
ularity in commodity markets. During
the past week out Of IA individual
groups six ruled lower, four advanced
and four remain unchanged.
Industrial products. one Of the
major groups, recorded weakness, but
the average for the month of Novem-
Der was the highest for any month
during the year. Industrial activity
during the final week of the month
held the advance recorded earlier in
the month.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agricultural prices, another major
group, also declined. Lower quota
tions as compared with a week ago
were recorded for wheat, corn, barley
rye. cotton. eggs. hay, potatoes fax
seed and butter Oats represent the
only item that advanced moderately.
Live stock prices ran contrary to the
reaction noted in industrial and agri-
cultural products and advanced sub
stantially. The upswing was general
including cattle, hogs, sheep and
lambs
Hides and leather declined, reflect
ing price weakness in the hide market
Fine textiles represent one Of the six
groups to average lower, as during the
week spot cotton lost ground as well
as raw silk.
Coarse textiles declined moderately
due entirely TO further weakness in
burlap.
Vegetable Oils Down.
Vegetable oils also declined. Lower
quotations for cottonseed and palm
oils more than Offset the moderate
strength in corn oil.

Have Known Suffering.
Despite these disadvantages. the
cheerfulness of Vienna is In striking
contrast to the pesSimism OF Paris.
In attempting to analyze this con-
trast, I found a number Of different
answers. Firstly, one IS told, the
Viennese have known such dreadful
suferings In the past two decades
not forgetting the events OF last year
that the present breathing space
seems pleasant by comparison. Sec
.ondly, there is general nope that
England, at long last, will succeed In
making the League of Nations a real
power for peace and betterment IN
Europe rather than tool in the
hands Of France to perpetuate the
peace treaties of 1919. The League
has given Austria financial assistance
in the past. and Vienna hopes, not
over confidently, that somehow,
through English influence, something
may be done by the League to cut the
Gordian knot Of mid-European tariffs
and enable Vienna to recover its
former position as producing center
lk1Nn
Thirdly, it is thought here that Ger
many is marking time and perhaps
realizes, apart from other considera-
ticns, the unwisdom Of attempting
to incorporate in the Reich a large
Catholic population at the present
juncture.
Few Desire Restoration.
At this point I inquired about the
possibilities of Hapsburg restoration
in Austria. The consensus apearS to
be that only a numerically small, al
though fairly influential, section ol
the Austrian people really desires
restoration. On the other hand, 1t l.

/ Little Entente neighbors, Czechoslo'
yakia and Yugoslavia, with whom a.
present Austria wishes to be on gooo
4 terms in view of possible tariff
agreement under the aegis OF the
League of Nations.
Finally, one cannot leave out o.
consideration the character Of thu
Austrian people, their charm. culture
gayety-and laissez-faire. They ar'
fully aware of the shadow that hangs
over Europe, but today they feel tha'
their own particular patch of sky l.
/ lighter than it was. For a perioc
which they admit may be brief they
