Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-28

At the upper left hand corner Of this page
is shown the mechanism of the sneezing that
is so common in hay fever. The initial irrita-
ton is quickly carried into the sympathetic,
or reflex part of the bodys nervous system
and the spasm created by the diaphragm is
involuntary and seldom can be controlled by
the mind
Once the nerve message is started on the
way in your nose there is nothing much you
can do about it because the carrying out of
the order is under the direction of one of the
body's abdominal brains at the site of
diaphragm.
This nervous center, controlling breathing
isn't accustomed to take no for an answer
which is a good thing otherwise some people
might just decide to stop breathing some
time and be done with it,
The role of histaminase is to break up this
histamine as soon as it is formed and prevent
the allergic symptoms which are widely
known. You might say histaminase is like
a decentralization squad in an air raid that
goes around neutralzing the effects of poi
son gas attack. 1t does not prevent the at
tack in the first place but it overcomes the
danger.
DR.. Vaughan indicates that some severe
types of headaches especially migraine
may be caused by the histamine sensitivity Of
the blood vessels in the brain.
Due to hstamne the blood flows-the
plasma portion--out into the brain cavity.
This increases the pressure on the brain and
causes headache.
In other parts of the body the tissues could
swell up they so often do. Inside the skull,
however, there is a rigid combining structure
that prevents the swelling. The only thing
that can happen is to increase the pressure
which bears on the sensitive nerves of the
brain, causing pain so severe that the patients
often contemplate suicide
1t is probable that it was such pain which
led doctors, in ancient times, to trepan the
skull at the temples or forehead and relieve
the pressure. Skulls Of mummies from Egypt
and the skulls Of primitive Indians and other
races show that this surgery was very wide
spread. Knowing the pain that can be caused
by histamine headaches, doctors are not sur
prised that such drastic surgery should have
been performed several thousand years ago
at least.
At the Mayo Clinic a series of desensi-
tizng treatments have been carried out with
some patients which makes them tolerate.
better, the chemical histamine. Many Of
these patients obtained relief from their head
aches.
Other doctors have reported relief from
these headaches by the chemical histaminase
The two systems Of treatment achieve the
same end. They break the chain of events
in the body by which hstamine is created.

SIMPLIFY, "I'll do my best, Bill"
Bill started Louise, who was
able TO hold the Stofmont nine
scoreless for two innings, thanks
to almost Superhuman defensive
work.
In the third she went to pieces,
and five runs were scored in quick
succession. Without instruction
from Bill she walked off the
mound, tears St canning down her
face.
The heartbrokc n fans, who
packed the stands and lined the
foul line clear to the right and left
field fences gave her a warm hand.
Bill summoned Dot TO come in

Stormont. In the last of the final
seventh frame, the score stood
5 to against the Owls. No, Dot
didn't slam a home run with the
bases loaded. She didn't come to
bat at all.
Another girl lined out an out

hopelessly lost. She might have
developed into fairly good
pitcher had she tried hard enough,
or had the need arisen.
She didn't put much stock in
any latent pitching skill she may
have possessed until Bill came
along as manager, and she quickly
saw how much he admired expert
work in the box.
She was a dependable fielder,
but not spectacular. and was not
an outstanding performer at the

One evening she came over to
my house with her kid brother,

DEADEsT VALLEY TOWN

Citrus Hills in most respects is
quite the deadest town in the VAL
ley. Its business districts covers
three blocks on one street, small
stores and shops mainly.
s There isn't a first-rate restau-
rant in the place. as virtually all
of the 1000 inhabitants of the
town proper and immediate en-
virons eat at home in nice Cali
fornia bungalows on shaded streets
or set among groves OF orange
and lemon trees.
The seasonal citrus packing
plants draw their workers chiefly
from other cities upand down the
Valley. Those who don't own
groves, or the small business en-
terprises, have Offices or jobs in
Los Angeles and commute daily
by automobile or Pacific Electric.
II is a sweet spot in which to
rear children and for old people.
Quiet as the town is, there is one
thing that il supports thoroughly
and well and even noisily, and
that is the girls Softball club, the
Owls.
Retired farmers and bankers
and owners of Los Angeles apart
ment houses who ordinarily think
long while before they part with
half a dollar dig down deep into
their jeans each year TO meet the
Owl deficit.
This deficit is considerable, de-
spite the fact that the girls are
paid no salary and the little ball
park, with its seating capacity Of
900 or 700, is generally packed at
q dime a head on baseball nights.
EXPENSES HEAVY

The players live at such far
