The rules were simple enough, even
though some odd sizes were stipulated,

should be closed.
Air Filter Installed
An air filter or air-cOnditioning
unit can be installed. The air
filters fit in the windows. These
contain a mechanical pollen filter
so that the outside air enters the
room after going through several
layers of felt or cellulose or spun
glass, or other such material The
air can be driven through this by
a fan creating a slightly positive
air pressure in the room. This
positive pre ssure is an advantage,
because it forces air out of the
cracks around the doors and win
dows and drives out pollen grains
that are lying there and might
blow in.
A homemade apparatus of this
kind can be constructed by fairly
ingenious household mechanic. But
the cost of the manufactured ap-
paratus is not great-far less than
a vacation. Especially a vacation
prolonged over the whole hay fever
season.
The filters need to be changed
every week or so, because they get
clogged with pollen. Extra filters
can be Purchased at low price.

allergen-proof sheets, pillow cases.

ture stores carry line CT these.
My reports are that these air.
conditioned rooms give great relief.
1t is. of course, only at night, but
for most hay fever sufferers the
night is the worst time.

I SUMMARIZED the methods Of
treating hay fever yesterday thus:
(1) going to a pollen-free climate
for the duration of the hay fever
season, (2) immunization by pollen
vaccines, CD living or at least
sleeping in a pollen-free room.
There are other methods which
have been suggested. ranging from
eye drops and nasal sprays to
ionization of the nose.
For several years I have recon-
mended that boards of health or
other government bodies could
practically rid most communities
of hay fever by having gangs of
iaborers destroy hay fever plants.

Fish also have critical range OF

DUAL TAX SAVING
ISBARRED BY US.
New Regulation to Apply to
Thousands of Income
Levy Cases,
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Acting Secretary Roswell Magill
announced today new Treasury regu-
lations to prevent double taxation or
double tax-saving in thousands of in
come tax disputes.
The new regulations will apply
when either the taxpayer or the Gov
ernment contends deduction or item
OF income should be recognized three
or more years after it has already fig-
ured in an income tax return.
Henceforth it will be possible to
ADJUST the earlier return even though
the three-year period of the statute
OF limitations has expired
Double Deductions"
Under the old regulations taxpayer
might have taken a deduction in 1882
for debt he believed became worth
less in that year In 1896 the tax
payer might assert he made a mis-
take in 1882 and that the debt ac-
tually did not become worthless until
1896. If he could prove this he
would get the deduction twice under
the old rules because the statute of
limitations prevented reopening his
1892 income tax return. The new
regulation provides that if he proves
his right to the deduction in 1896 his
1882 return may be reopened and ad-
ditional tax collected
The new regulations would work
both ways. however. II. for example
the Government proved taxpayer
should pay on capital gains in 1896,
although he already had paid taxes
on the identical income in 1882, the
old law permitted collection of an
other tax for 1896. The new rules will
permit the taxpayer in such case to
get a refund for 1882 if he is forced
to pay for the same item in 1896

lation at his last press conference as

CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. "a
The North Atlantic is getting warmer
perhaps by an average Of one or two
degrees centigrade in the last four
years.
This phenomenon. probably due to
. change in the drift Of more south
erly waters. Is having a marked effect
on fisheries with an abundance Of
cod off the Greenland coast and a
6s-fold increase in the number Of
herring off the Murman Peninsula in
Northern Russia.
The change was revealed before the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science. meeting here. by DR..
Stanley Kemp. president of the ZOO
logical section, in a report of studies
Of reasons for the marked annual
changes in the numbers Of fish in vari-
ous localities 1t has long been known,
he said. that fish vary greatly in
abundance from year to year, due
largely to local causes. 1t now ap-
pears that they have long period cy-
cles of abundance which are in some
way tied up with the general oceanic
circulation.
Investigators Seek Secrets.
This complex subject, he reported,
now is being made the object OF an
international study. The Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute in Massa chu-
setts is making intensive study of
the Gulf Stream and the effect Of
wind velocity and direction on the
strength of the current. Co-operat-
ing with them is the British biological
station at Bermuda, for which the
government has made a grant admin
istered through the Royal Society.
During the year a German research
ship has been detailed to study the
ocean currents of the North Atlantic.
Cooperating with her in surveys of
extensive areas from the Azores to
Iceland are research ships of Den
mark, Norway and Scotland
The combined efforts, DR.. KemI
said, may be able to produce the
first detailed picture of what is hap
pening. Data already obtained by
the Woods Hole Institute shows that
the transport of water in the Gulf
Stream has varied by as much as 20
per cent in IA months, and even
this ngure may be below the normal
range of variation. Intensive study
of Gulf Stream waters, he indicated
may be the key to the whole problem
