eyes water and who gets asthma
Just because the rsgweed begins
to throw its polleh into the air on
that date7 He didn't deserve this;
he didn't commit any crime or
fault that should pick him out
from the crowd Of those who do
not have hay fever.
Sensitive to Pollens
II can hardly be called the sins
Of the fathers, because though it
is undoubtedly hereditary, his
father didn't commit a sin any
more than he did.
The known facts about hay fe-
yer can be put down in a very
small space. Some people have q
sensitiveness Of the mucous men,
branes of the eye, nose and throat
TO the pollens Of certain plants,
notably the weed known as rag
weed.
The ragweed is one Of the
plants that spreads its pollen by
the wind. 1t has no flower, in
contra-distinction TO the plants
that pollinate by insect distribu-
ton. The consequence for the poor
hay fever sufferer is that about
this time of year the ragweed
throws out on the air great
shower of its golden pollen.
Now why | can breathe this into
my nose and not notice it at all,
and why when my wife gets even
one pollen grain into her nose she
begins to sneeze, | cannot explain.
But those are the facts.
Causes Asthma
Hay fever in the early part Of
the season affects the eyes and
nose most. Later on, many victims
get asthma, which is a constric-
ton of the muscles Of the bronchial
tubes. 1t affects only certain It's
sues Of the body. 1t is easy TO
understand why it should affect
the eyes and nose, when it is ex-
planned that the cause is the pol
len grains in II air; they would
naturally light on the surface Of
the body.
They are so small that they are
completely invisible and the poor
victim does not understand when
the thing first hits him. Nor, con
fdentially, does the physician I'M
derstand all. Why, for instance,
do the pollens not enter the stom-
ach and cause distress there?
AS to preventing this scourge
or treating it after it has oc-
CURED, We are not so we'll
informed. The pollen grains can
be collected and dissolved in salt
water and the dose measured. In
this form they can be used as vac
cines. Preferably the vaccine
treatment should begin long be-
fore August fifteenth. The vac
cines are given about twice a
week. But even beginning treat
ment August fifteenth, they have
often afforded much relief.
The various nasal sprays, espe-
eially those containing ephedrine
or epinephrine, undoubtedly do
temporary good.

House Unit Requests
Treasury 10 Furnish

Sentiment Is Reported
Growing in Congress
For Such q Levy

BY the Associated Press
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee, trying to raise at least ST.
900 900 900 in new revenue, called on
Treasury officials today for all avail
able statistics on the sales tax.
Sentiment for some kind of a sales
levy appeared to be growing among
members of Congress. Some mem
bers took open exception to Secre-
tary Morgenthau's program which
calls for raising s7.6lO,00O. 900 chiefly
through sitter individual and cor
ooratlon income levies and from new
excise taxes.
Secretary Morgenthau and many
Treasury officials oppose a sales tax,
contendlng among other things that
it would be inequitable and infla-
tionarv.
w. j. Schieffelin. jr., chairman Of
the New York State Chamber of
Commerce. proposed yesterday that
Congress raise $4,000 900 900 through
graduated retail sales tax and
81 900 100000 from higher income
taxes, with the other $4,000, ,000, 900
of President Roosevelt's $1,000. .OOO.-
900 program being deferred until
autumn.
Mr. Schieffelin recommended that
2 or 3 per cent rate be imposed on
food and at least 10 per cent on
higher priced articles, with an aver
age OF about per cent.
Treasury officials have estimated
that 5 per cent manufacturers
sales tax would yield Sl53 900 900 to
s3,7800O0 900 depending on exemp-
tions.
Chairman Doughton of the COM
mittee said that he opposed a retail
sales tax, but was maintaining an
open nina on manufacturers sales
tax.
Hearing Dates Set.
While the discussion of revenue
sources grew, the committee took
action which made certain that
hearings which began a week ago
yesterday would last at least through
March
The members agreed TO set aside
the following days for hearings on
three of Mr.. Morgenthau's pro-
poSals:
March % and "a Removal Of the
depletion allowance for oil wells and
mines estimated TO yield $4,000 900
