England is fighting alone n o w
and the mistaken will of her peo-
pie to carry on with the war at any
cost is the prime essential to VIC
tory hopes. 1t can well be realized
that those in authority in London
are repeatedly faced by difficult
questions as to what the effect on
British public opinion might be of
publication of bad news items on
ship losses.

result if the admiralty disclosed

would be the result if it became
apparent to parliament that h e
Churchill ministry was misinform-
ing the nation as to the gravity of
its plight, and urging it to fight on
against hopeless odds?
England is still a democracy, for
all the emergency war powers
conferred on the prime minister.
Parliament could rescind them as
quickly as it granted them. For
that reason if no other it is prob.
able that Churchill has decreed
frankness and accuracy in British
official reports on naval or mer-
chant ship casualties, restricted on

cerned by purely military exigen-
cies.
And if that is Churchill policy
which Churchill's long record of
never h~esitating to tell the British
public bad news strongly indicates

Carter Glass Will

New Kind of Bumblebee

A bumblebee robot airplane which would 20
aloft at the approach OF bombers, take its
position above them and wreck the attackers
with bombs automatically released, the whole
operation guided by a single man in a dugout
with his hand on a lever.
1t sounds fantastic, to say the least. But such
a plane is possible, says Edward F. Chandler,
who perfected a gyroscopic control for SUBJ
marine torpedoes in the World war and who is
q recognized expert in automatic steering con.
trolls for torpedoes.
This robot would steer itself by the sound of
an approaching plane and buzz along with it.
dropping sound-oirected bombs on it's. victim.
1t would be launched by the fire control of.
6cers at a bombing defense station. while
the attacking plane was at some distance. Its
gyroscope would keep it on a course fixed to
intercept the enemy until it was well within
range of the noise of the big ships. The a sound
control device would take over the lob and
guide it to its objective.
Chandler does not claim that he is ready
to put the robots into action. But he clearly
indicates that it can be done, and there is no
reason to doubt his word. His record is the
best proof that he speaks truth. If the device
can be brought out of the experimental stage
quickly and the accuracy of its flight and fire
proved, the United States will have little to
worry about in connection with air raids.
Especially would the bumblebee be valu-
able in the Panama Canal Zone, where a single
bomb could cause heavy damage, ever if the
attacker were driven off later.
But there would be no reason to con1ne its
use to the canal and it's e~nvirons. North Caro-
iina's coast line is too exposed to neglect some
such provision for it's protection, in addition
to military and air bases, the need for which
is widely recognized.

Medical Care
Rv LOGAN cLENDEN1NG, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENlNG' M. ID.
Hay fever is the only malady,
according to DR.. Lawrence Farmer
of New York whats your allergy?
Random House,, that attains cpl
demic proportions without b 6
either infectious or contagious.
Wouldn't you be startled if some
one said, II have to give up my
bridge games after August 18th be-
cause I am going to have my pneu-
monia then? But they say it about
hay fever.
Yes, the unhappy and dreaded
date is approaching. And this is a
warning that if you want to try to
stave it off by pre-seasonal immun-
ization, now is the proper time.
Henry Ward Beecher, who SUI
fered greatly all his life from this
annual pest, asked DR.. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes for a satisfactory rem
edy. Gravel is an effectural rem
edy," replied DR.. Holmes. 1T
should be about eight feet deep"
We have progressed since 1868
when this conversation is reported
to have taken place. Hay fever is
a specific immunity type reaction
to the pollens of plants which fer
tilize by wind distribution - the
ragweed family beginning in
August. This reaction occurs in
the cells of the mucous membrane
of the nose and eyes. There must
be some reaction also in the blood.
The best that medical science can
do is to prevent this by shunting
the reactors by the Introduction OF
diluted pollen solutions given in
ever increasing strengths.
Temporary Immunity
Such immunity as is established
in this way is temporary and lasts
in most instances only through n
season. So it has to be repeated
every year. 1t is best to try to es-
tablish the immunity before the
season" opens. A gradually ac-
quired immunity is more effective
than attempting to build n up
suddenly although coseasonal pre-
vention is possible. So this warn
ing about a month ahead of time
should give the susceptible ones
their opportunity.
The pollen extracts for proven
tive purposes are given hypoder-
mically once or twice a week start
ing with small doses and getting
stronger so that just before e
date that the pollen takes to the
air the strength of the injection is
high enough to prepare the body
for the onslaught.
Naturally it is desirable to get
away from these eternal hypoder-
mics. Pollen has been given by
mouth. Reports differ as to its sue
cess. Rockwell reports that in rag
weed cases (the August type Of hay
fever) the results we're excellent in
about 20 per cent of cases, and
failed entirely in about Is per cent
of cases. In the rest the results
were Indifferent.
The Chicago Society of Allergy
has come out with a statement that
oral administration is very likely
to lead to disappointment and eco
nomic loss. But then the hypoder-
mic method may suffer from the
same disadvantages.
For those who will not take n.y.
podermic injections or find it incon-
venient to report regularly for
them, the oral method offers an x
nerimental annnrt11nitu
