Science Explores

ITHACA, N. Y, Jan. 8.-Science
offered its aid to suffering dogs today
for peculiar malady they get mostly
during hay fever season.
"The trouble is not hay fever, even
though at its worst in the dog day
season when ragweed and pollen I'LL
the air. It is a skin outbreak that
hits their backs in the hardest place
to scratch" it was explained to the
18th annual conference for veterina-
rlans at Cornell University.
ts The dog malady is evidently an
allergy. Allergies are the newest Of
human fashions in disease. They in
clude odd skin troubles that may
come from almost anything man
touches, from his clothes to the syn
thetic products Of chemistry.
This is known as a Contact al
lergy." For unknown reasons the
skin becomes sensitive. This, said
A. F. Coca, M. D., Of the Lederle
Laboratories. Inc, at Pearl River,
N. Y, is evidently the kind of allergy
which is affecting the dogs.
There are other kinds of allergies,
but relief for the dogs, he said, prob
ably will be found by hunting for
something they touch. 1t seems to
be something that they roll in.

upon which the traditions started
have been changed, in one case re-
verSed.
After the Civil War, lynching oc-
CURED in the South with enough
frequency to justify indignation. In
that spirit of Indignation it became
something like an annual custom for
humanitarian organizations in the
North to pass resolutions denouncing
lynching, calling for Federal inter-
vention to prevent or punish it. This
attitude survives, though the facts
about lynching have changed utterly.
From an average upward of 200, so
years ago, the number of lynchings
fell in 1896 to nine, in 1887 to eight.
And the number OF occasions calling
for the anti-lynching bill are fewer
yet. The bill does not apply to all
lynchings. The bill applies only to
cases in which local State and county
officials, whether by negligence or
worse. do not practice "all due dill
gence' to prevent the lynching or to
apprehend the lynchers. OF this
limited type of case have seen no
figures which say how many there
were in 1886 and 1897. Certainly
some of the nine lynchings in 1896
were duly punished. and likewise
some Of the eight lynchings in 1887.
Here is an anti-lynching bill, born
in the conditions and the spirit of
many years ago. now being urged to
apply to what is probably the rarest
crime in the country, failure Of local
officials to practice 'all due diligence"
in preventing or Furnishing lynching.
Certainly this crime is rarer in the
South than failure Of political officials
in Northern cities to practice all due
diligence" in Furnishing gangster
violence.
Republicans Protected Negroes.
Along with the humanitarian tradi-
ton about lynching arose a CORE
spending political tradition. The Re-
publican party, born mainly of the
anti-slavery spirit, took the Negro as
its special trust The Republicans in
Congress constantly proposed measures
to safeguard the Negroes rights,
among them anti-lynching bills. Al
ways these measures were prevented
from passage by the Democrats-by
all the Democrats, both Northern and
Southern, for on this point the North

solidarity. supported their Southern

D. c. z0N|NG LAW
REVISION ASKED
Provides Board to Allow
Variance From Strict
Compliance.

Revision of the District coming act
to provide for creation of a board Of
zoning adjustment, which would be
empowered to grant variances from
decisions by the Zoning Commission,
is proposed in a bill filed with Con-
gress today by the District Commis-
sioners.
The draft of the bill is the result Of
many months of study OF the opera
ton of the zoning act by District and
Federal officials concerned with the
subject The present law was adopted
March /, 1920.
Court Now Only Appeal.
The adjustment board would consist
OF representative of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, a representative of the Zoning
Commission and three residents Of the
District, to be appointed by the Dis
trict Commissioners. The present stat
ute provides for no appeal from the
decision of the zoning Commission ex-
cept to the courts, and does not allow
variances from the strict rules and
classifications fixed by the board.
Officials have insisted that lack OF
such provisions has hampered the op-
erations of the commission and that
hardships have been placed on some
property owners because of cases where
properties are of extreme narrowness,
shalloWness or shape, or because Of
Typographical conditions.
Would Recognize Advisory Group.
The suggested bill also proposes
other revisions of the law. One would
be to give legal status to a coming ad-
visory council, which would consist Of
one representative Of the Park and
Planning Commission, one for the
zoning Commission and one for the
District Commissioners.
Another bill proposed by the Com
missioners would relieve the chief clerk
and the chief inspector of the District
health office from responsibility for
acting as deputy health officers, as was
provided in legislation many years ago.
Another proposed bill would author
ize the Commissioners to sell the prop
erty Of the Old Georgetown Market,
on M street near Wisconsin avenue,
which has not been operated for q
dozen years as municipal market.
