Portable so long as he remains in

tinuously for six weeks. .
Vacations Not Long Enough
Vacations which last out the
whole hay fever season are also too
long to be practical for most
people. The heaviest pollen fall,
however, occurs in the twenty days
from August 20 to September 10,
and vacation during these dates
will get one out of his worst suf-
fering.
Where to go? Well, the hay
feverites themselves found that out,
each for his own locale, long ago.
The New Englanders go to the
White Mountains, most middle
westerners go to Northern Michi-
gan, wisconsin, Minnesota or
Canada, or to Colorado or Califor-
MIA, and the southerners go to Ell
Paso or the seashOre.
Most Of these resorts advertise
themselves as hay fever refugees,
and some physicians think they
overstate their claims. When q
Great Lakes resort says, "You are
practically immune from hay fever

they can go with perfect truthful
ness. But some Of them goAnrther
and say, mo sneezing at - or
"Ragweed and other pollens simply

 Physicians, who examined the girl. dismissed as pure flotion' her assertion that she was pregnant. She made the statement at the time of her arrest by State Trooper Joseph Hunt. who'said that she had attempted to dispose of .32 calibre pistol and . box of cartridges.
 Police said Brockelhurst's con- fession of the three murders gave money and the desire to thrill his sweetheart as his motives.

SPANISH GOVT.
 COMPLICATIONS
President Azain Finds Il Difficult to Get His
 New Cabinet

Valencia. Spain, May 17.--(UP)-- President Manuel Azana worked urgently today to find & premier with sufficient political strength and diplomacy to end loyalist Spain's worst cabinet crisis since the start of the civil war. With nationalist hammering almost at the gates of Bilbao, with Madrid besiegcd, with Catalonia torn by internal quarrels, the loyalists for the moment were without @ cabinet. Factions which made up the loyalist coalition gov- ernment split wide apart on bold move by Francisco Largo Caballero, premier and war minister, to cen- tralize power under him for drive to win the war. As the result Largo Caballero, militant left wing social ist leader. refused to continue ef- forts to reorganize his ministry and left the president to find Q man to take his place.

Rogers, spokesman for the couple, reiterated time and again that he had no knowledge oi wedding plans. He promised, that they would be made public at the castle after lunch tommorrow. He said there would be typed conl- munIque." So many reporters have swarmed into the sleepy little vil- lage of Monts south of Paris that the towns dozen or 50 telephones were not sufficient to meet the de- mand. The government has opened a provisional post office and tele- phone building in Q local garage from which news of the Duke and Mrs. Warficld is sent out.
 Her Plans Complete
 Mrs. Warfield's plans for the wed- ding are complete. They call for the simplest possible ceremony. The American born divorcee wants only a scant dozen guests, all personal and close friends of herslf and the Duke.

 The ex-mayor and present asses sors has been doing much outside work of late inspecting property in preparation for the "list signing" period which starts June lst. It M believed that this arduous work Of climbing stairs, going through alley ways and measuring lengths and widths of buildings, besides checking up on store inventories, tired him out.
 It was expected that he would Dc back on the job in . short time. This leaves two of the five members Of the board of assessors now on the disabled list. The other disabled assessor Is Thomas J.

 Paris, May 17-U.P)-Murder in the subway, in which an attractive night club hostess was stabbed to death by 6 killer who vanished within one minute of the staying presented the famous French secret police today with one of the most puzzling mysteries in years. Six per- sons waiting to board q first class coach of the train which rolled into the Porte Doree station last night saw through the car window the end of the crime. The victim, 30- year-old Leticia Nourissat, was sit- ting upright, alone in the carriage. As the train halted, the jolt threw the body to the floor. The entering passengers, thinking she had faint cd, ran forward to help her but started back in horror. A six-inch knife had been driven to the hit into the back of her neck, behind the right ear.
