long before he was born, an ltal-
ian's what he'd have been. Yet
we have among US so-caiied Ger
rlan-Americans who are no more
Germans than he's an Italian.
And hear some depreciation In
congress Of our Yankee habit OF
lacking hyphenated designations
onto citizens in this category, just
because they happen to have in
herited old world names from
generation or several generations
back. LaGuardia's such a name.
And Fiorello? The present New
York mayors parents were SO
lately from Italy, upon their then
baby's arrival, that that's how
thew had him christened, Fiorello!
In other words, Little Flower. The
moniker's meaning, in English, has
been emphasized often enough. l
suppose it was appropriate when
Fiorello was cute little infant In
his swaddling clothes. 1t sounds
rather odd. hard-boiled as he Is
today.
Fiorello Needn't Worry
They say Fiorello regrets it
thinks it makes him somewhat
ridiculous. He needn't worry,
though. The NAME may be ride
ulous, as applied to HIM, but HE
isn't. He's equal to living ANY
name down. He's made such a
splurge as a 100 per cent Ameri-
can that everybody knows that
that's what he is.
But take the case OF some poor
chap OF no particular consequence,
named; for instance, Heinrich or
Karl, or, worse yet, Adolf.
He may be Just as thorough an
American as Fiorello, but assume
that he hasn't been widely so ad-
vertised, like Fiorello. It's apt to
be taken for granted that he's a
bunoist, whether he is or not.
During the last war had, In
South America, a business asso-
ciate named Hertje. He was a sec
ond generation German but as
good a pro- Yankee as l am, and
my mother was Daughter Of the
American Revolution. He'd been
a farmer in Oklahoma, but literally
was frozen out Of his community
on account Of his name. He could
not talk German over his telephone
or anything.
The congressional talk l hear
favors encouragement OF a recru-
descence Of exaggerated sentiment
OF this kind.
~" psychology is recognized as
alright, as stimulant OF anti
Axis feeling where its stimulation
will do the most good and as a
fretfulizing influence in Axis ter
ritory, but critics don't admit the
desirability Of suspecting loyalties
on the strength Of mere ancestry.
OF course, it's conceded that
bundists are pests. Communists
were, too, until Russia got into the
war against the Axis. Since then
they've verged on rating as demo-
Gratis.
German Fifth Columnists are
the worst headache to Director
Hoover's FBI.
The Russians were Just as bad
until. as previously remarked.
Adolf Hitler's policy Topped 'em
over our way. Italians have
seemed to be poor pro-Axis fxers.
Possibly they have the will but not
the skill, or perhaps Fiorello La
Guardia influences 'em.
The FBI recently pointed to the
threat Of Japanese sabotagery on
our west coast. However, it's easy
to spot a Jap at sight. He's too
conspicuous to do y<ry effective
undercover work.
A bundist looks approximately
like anybody else.

answer.
We know certain external facts
but we do not know the explana
ton Of them.
The observed facts are: the ter
per cent referred TO are known a,
allergic. This means that they are
sensitive to the pollen Of certain
plants, so that their body cells
particularly in the eyes, nose
throat and bronchial tubes, re-
spond with a violent infiammatory
reaction at the presence of these
pollens.
Hayfever Hereditary
We know that the condition is
hereditary, and the peculiar reac-
ton Of these cells is transmitted
from one generation to another
Another fact is that at this season
of the year, the chances are all ir
favor of the cause being the wild
plant known as. ragweed. This
is a woodworking plant which
throws out an enormous amount Of
fine pollen grains. 1t is non-fow-
ering because it depends upon the
wind rather than insects to distrib-
ute its. pollen for fertilization pur-
poses.
In one Of our Mid-Western cities.
it is probable that the daily
amount of pollen in the air in the
hayfever season would make pile
as high as an Office building.
Can Identify Ragweed Victims
We know also that the victims
Of ragweed hayfever can be rec
ognized and identified by injecting
a weak solution Of pollens in salt
water under the skin that reacts
with a large red wheal at the site
Of injection. Some Of them can be
treated successfully by hypoder-
mic injections Of a vaccine made
from the pollens, but we will take
fk,c - lota r%,nla
The explanation of why these
body cells react in this way is GER
tainly not satisfactory. The inves-
tigators say that it is the oppo-
site Of neutrality-suspicious. in
stead Of prophylaxis, and yet they
say that vaccines of successful
strength will prevent. 1t is easy
to see why weak vaccines will
cause an immunity in body cells
because they gradually cause the
cells to create anti-bodies, but it is
not easy to understand why cells
which become sensitive to the
slightest amount of pollen can be
desensitized by injecting more
and more pollen into the body.

FORESTRY BOARD
MAY BUY TREES
ALONG HIGHWAY

Montana's forestry board announced
it was considering the purchase Of
certain virgin timber stands along
highway No. 2 between Libby and Kali
spell. and will submit a report to the
state highway commission for collabo-
ration in the plan.
Rutledge Parker of Missoula, state
forester and board secretary. explained
that the federal government, in allo-
eating funds to the state for road con-
struction. authorizes expenditure of 2
percent of the total for the purchase
of scenic areas along highways. The
state. however, must match federal
funds
The owners OF these stands will be
asked to enter some agreement where
by the state can pay for the timber
over a period Of years." Parker said
The board expects to examine the
area some time in October and will
ask the timber owners to meet with it,
The meeting was the first Of the re-
created board under laws Of the l94l
legislative assembly which makes Gov
Sam C. Ford eX-officio chairman.
Parker said the board approved the
newly created Avon fire district which
will be protected by the Helena ma
tional forest under an agreement with
the board. Also approved was a spe-
cial assessment made by the Northern
Montana Forestry association to cover
the suppression Of forest fires. Parker
said "a large number of fires" had
occurred in that area during 1910.
Members of the board include Syl-
van Pauly of Deer Lodge, George Neills
of Libby, Major Evan w. Kelly of Mis-
soula, regional forester; d. P. Fabrick
of Choteau, Otto Hanson Of Superior,
w. c. Lubrecht of Bonner, T. C.

U. s. ESTABLISHES
CREDIT CONTROL

At President RooSevelt'S order. the
board of governors OF the federal re-
serve system has issued regulation
which took effect on September /, for
the regulation of installment credit
]. N. Payton, president of the fed
eral reserve bank of Minneapolis, says:
With the drastic reduction in, sup
ply of certain raw materials for civilian
needs and the rapidly increasing pur-
chasing power of our people many
measures have been designed to COM
bat initiation. among them being price
regulation, priorities control. the sale
Of defense bonds and taxation. The
control of installment credit Is only
one additional step toward lessening
the obvious danger of initiation. It has
three obvious detectives:
Il. To reduce the demand for goods
where the supply Is lacking because
Of defense necessities.
%. To build up reservoir Of future
purchasing power to be released when
the defense effort fades-an effort to
conserve borrowing power now that
may be loosened after the emergency
is over
SO. To help fight initiation, that is,
to help eliminate the spiral increase in
price which might follow a heavy de-
mand for goods lacking in supply.
In addition to most cash loans of
$1,000 or less calling for installment
payments, the regulation covers "a
commodities in common use, such as
automobiles, motorcycles, refrigerators,
washing machines, sewing machines.
radio sets, furnaces, pianos, etc. Until
some future change is made in the
regulation, no installment terms on the
articles affected can be made for
longer time than 10 months. Certain
percentages of down payments on all
"a listed articles are also specified
Automobiles and similar commodities
require a down payment of one-third
Down payments on other articles on
the list vary from 20 percent on re-
frigerators and other household appli-
ances, to 10 percent on furniture.
THE federal reserve bank of Min
neapolis wants to cooperate fully with
all affected, whether they be lenders
of credit, retailers, or the buying pub
lie. Copies of the regulation may be
obtained through the local banks, the
federal reserve bank of Minneapolis
or its branch office at Helena, Mon
tana.
THE administration of the regula-
ton falls directly under the super
vision of E. w. Swanson, vice presi-
dent; T. H. Hodgson, assistant counsel,
and R. D. Baker at the federal reserve
bank of Minneapolis"
