PICKETS REMOVED
FROM LEWIS OFFICE

Picketing Of the office Of Burdette
Lewis, director of the public relief
investigation in the District, was
abandoned late yesterday after a con-
ference between the investigator and
representatives of the District Work
ers' Alliance, at which Mr.. Lewis
promised a public hearing if he could
find the time"
Mr.. Lewis told the representatives,
according to Tansel Butler. president
Of the alliance. he would let the Or
ganization know definitely within a
week" whether the hearing would be
held.
There will be no further picketing
Of Mr.. Lewis office until We receive
his answer" Mr.. Butler said today.
The pickets appeared about 8 am.
yesterday in front of Mr.. Lewis office
in the District w. P. A. headquarters,
$50 c street NV. bearing placards
demanding his resignation.
The alliance members presented Mr.
Lewis with five demands, asking that
they be considered in his report to
Congress, Mr.. Butler said. The de-
mands were that s5,oo0,000 be ap-
propriated by Congress for relief here
in 1910, relief for all needy persons
cut from the relief rolls during the
1899 fiscal year, that the distinction
between employables and unemploy-
ables be removed, that all relief sta
tions closed during the last year be
reopened and the immediate expendi-
ture OF the 100000 relief fund to
meet current needs.

EMPLOYERS TOLD
NOT TO CUT WAGES
Advised Workers Called to
Testify Are Entitled
to Full Paw.

Advising employers here that those
who dock the wages of their workers
who are summoned to testify In legal
proceedings, particularly before the
grand jury, are liable to contempt of
District Court. Assistant United States
Attorney Eugene carusi today called
on them for more cooperation.
Citing a case in point, In which a
local chain store deducted pay from
its workers who were summoned to
the grand jury to identify alleged
holdup men, who were accused of
robbing the company's own stores. Mr.
Carusi said the practice must stou
forthwith. If this continues, he de-
clared, he will take the matter up
with Justice James M. Proctor Of Dis
trict Court, to whom the grand jury
makes its return, while he is presid-
ing in Criminal Court No. /.
Commenting on the situation, Mr..
Carusi said:
These assertions, If true, are Sc
rious. Serious measures must be taken
to prevent the recurrence of practices
which could justly be described as
attempts to obstruct justice.
THE administration of justice can
be carried out only with the active
support of the public. 1t is often
difficult to overcome the apathy of
the average citizen. When opposi-
ton OF this kind Is encountered, it
Is time to take steps to meet it."
Court attaches recalled that some
time ago a business man interfered
with one Of his employees testifying
and the then chief justice Of District
Court fined him $500 and promised a
fine of $1,000 and year in Jail, If it
occurred again.

Health And

Hay Fever
By DIR. w. d. Brown

John BOstOck in 1919 described
a periodic affection of the eyes
and chest" as q disease entity. That
was the beginning of a study of
what we now recognize as hay few
er. The symptoms - excessive
sneezing, lacrimation, constant ma
sal discharge, itching of eyes and
nose, and general discomfOrt-are
well known.
The pollens of Towering plants
are borne through the air to every
one in the vicinity. One or two per
cent of those inhaling the pollens
are unable to withstand the physi-
cO-chemical reaction of them on
the membranes of the eye, nose,
and lower respiratory system. In
these cases the membrane swells
and gives evidence of severe irri-
tation. The condition of the wealth
er determines the amount of pol
lens in the air and as a result the
severity of the symptoms.
Polarization varies in different
localities, depending on the in
digenous type of plant families.
Thus the hay fever season may be
in the Spring, Summer, early Fall,
or any combination of these. This
fact is very important to know be-
cause a susceptible person may
avoid the pollens of certain type
by going to another locality during
this time where the specific pollen
Is absent; or he may be desensi-
tiled one to three months before
the offending pollen is in the air.
From the foregoing it may be
seen that relief from this disorder
is not a very simple matter. There
are many drugs used which give
variable results. Desensitizing
with the injection of increasing
amounts of the pollen to increase
resistance helps in many cases but
not all. Each case is a problem
which must be worked out indi-
vidually.

Flute Was Used by Early
Hindus. Chinese. Jap0nes,

Instruments Of the flute type APP
pear to be Of very ancient origin.
The Hindus, Chinese and Japanese
claim to have had them as far back
as their civilization can be traced,
and such instruments were also
known to the Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans. The first western trace Of
the transverse flute, notes a writer
In the Detroit News, is found in a
German manuscript of the Twelfth
century, the "Hortus deliciarum" of
the Abbess Herrad Won Landsperg.
The eldest form of the English
flute had seven holes, which could
be stopped by the fingers, but had
no keys. This instrument was in
general use until about the begin.
ming Of the Eighteenth century,
when it was replaced by the Ger
man flute, an instrument over two
feet long, which had six finger holes
for the normal tones and from six to
twelve keys for the semi-tones. I'M
provements made in the middle of
the Nineteenth century by Theo-
bald Roehm, a German, working
with Gordon, an Englishman, en-
abled the player to produce music
on any key with all the chromatic
intervals. The chief improvement
was a system Of keys permitting
several holes to be closed at the
same time with one movement Of
the finger.

Edison AdOred His Mother

After Thomas Edison went home
from school and told his mother the
teacher said he was added and
hopeless as pupil. his mother took
1t upon herself to teach the boy.
This Is what Edison wrote years
later In referring to the incident:
MY mother was the most enthusi-
astic champion that boy ever had,
and was determined right then that
I would be worthy Of her and show
that her confidence in me was not
misplaced. My mother was the
making Of me. She was so true, so
sure Of me; and I felt that ! had
some one to live for, some one
that must not disappoint."

Roller Skating

Wheeled skates were used on the
roads Of Holland as far back as the
Eighteenth century, strips Of wood
to which large wooden spools were
attached being fastened to the
shoes. 1t was the invention Of the
four-wheeled skate working on rub
Der pads, by J. L. Plimpton Of New
York in 1863 that made the amuse-
ment popular. The first wheels were
made Of lockwood, and these were
followed by the skate with pin bear
ings, and the Richardson ball-bear-
ing skate in the eighties. Roller
skating became the rage in this
country and Europe through the
nineties and into the first decade Of
the Twentieth century; since then it
has had several spurts Of popular
ity as an adult amusement.

Maker. unmaker Of Kings

Gerbert, bishop of Rheims. who is
known to history as Pope Sylves-
ter II, was born in 938. He was
the first French pope. He was more
than an ecclesiastic; he was also an
erudite, a savant, diplomat; in
fact one Of the real rulers Of Eu-
rope, whose prestige and influence
were SO great that he became known
as 1.-The maker and unmaker OF
kings" In addition. he was a poet
and writer. According to tradi-
ton, Sylvester was born in the ham,
let Of Belliac near Aurillac, and was
educated in the Benedictine monas-
terry Of the latter city.
