Baruch and the Peace

n formal international peace treaty ever is written we heartily endorse Ber- nard Baruch as one of it's authors, after carefully reading his statement before the military affairs committee, copy of which came to the editors of The Demo- crat.
 q have not thought in terms of a hard or soft peace. I seek a sure peace" MT. Baruch says in urging that "war be displaced as Germany's chief business.
 Even as minor member of the writ ing profession, by virtue of our news paper activities, we express high admira- tion fo rthe succinct, full-flavored and meaningful phraseology of MT. Baruch's conclusion. Words, and their usage, may well be abused and often are, but when they are adapted to expression Of a thought in full-bloWn meaning, such as in this report, they literally portray the clear essence of the intent behind the thought.
 Yet MT. Baruch's primary goal is not one of fine syntax and prose but a speedy and equitable solution to world peace, which he so concisely outlines in his IA point program.
 This program is heartening because of its strength contained in his belief that all agreements and pacts made by us with other nations be made public to the peo- pie immediately, because this has been 2 Peoples War" and the peace should be the Peoples Peace.
 As substantiation of his belief in the people MT. Baruch inserts, as one of his 14-pointS, the clause calling for higher standard of living throughout the world And he would make this a certainty by ratifying the principle that in all finan- cial and economic arrangements we in- sert Accommodation clause" giving us rhe right to terminate any agreement which results in lowering of wages or lengthenlng of working hours-or under cutting of human standards.
 ss Yet, indicative of the mans balance is his statement that the peoples of these shattered nations must realize that Am erlca, even though we have no physical reconstruction problem, cannot be ex- pected to do, for them, all they would ask of us and survive ourselves. They must 1elearn Self-reliance, he declares, and With our aid in proportionate, sensible measure we can all implement one an- others mutual security
 He urged that-to Russia we show the means of making herself so strong she need not fear Germany; and this while permitting her to reduce military expen- ditures, leaving more for lifting the stand ards of her people: To the people of Great Britain we can show the way to expand ing world markets, steering her away from an economic war that could only be disastrous to her and the world: To the United Nations we can direct convert ed Arsenal of Democracy" to aio in es- tabliShing new peaceful economic equil- ibrium with increased numbers of jobs and steadily rising living standards for aI.

HAY FEVER IS NOT so

With a pSychologlcal pluSn 10 call an anecdote, not parlor story. but somehow 1t has always ranked witt, the story of the ranchuan's biscuit in my own estimate, apout the fare a hackman took home to accommodate one of his patrons Title of this one is Lady, Eh?- and by a conditioned reflex my diaphragm goes clonic on me as Ine anecdote recures whenever any one mentions hay fever.
 According to some competent physicians there are occasional cas- es of pollinosis or allergic reaction manifested as coryza, itching. irri- tation in nose and eyes, burning and reckoning of eyes, watery na- sal secretion, stuffiness, perhaps cough and wheezing, due to grass pollens, even to the pollen or ilm- othy hay pollen - but the poiiens of the grasses, clover, alfalfa are heavier. larger grains and are car ried by insects and not by the wind. Hence one inhales such poll lens only in exceptional circum- stances. The pollens responsible for most pollinosis (hay fever) are lighter, very small grains and these pollens are carried mainly by the wind or air, and so the great ma jority of such allergic reactions are due to the fine pollens of such plants as ragweed, wild oats, live oak. scrub oak, orchard grass, cot tonwood Russian thistle, plantaln. sheep sorrel and other windborne pollens.
 Contrary to popular notion the eonspicuous goldenrod seldom caus- es trouble-in most instances reac- tions ascribed to it are really que to the unnoticed ragweed that grows wherever goldenrod grows.
 Rose pollen, too, is comparative ly heavy and large grained, carried by insects and not in the air or Dy the wind. So "rose cold" is another CT misnomer for pollinosis.
 Take away all the ragweed pollen common ragweed, prairie rag weed, western ragweed, bur rag weed, giant ragweed-it would re-. quire an enormous fleet of ten-ton' trucks to take away all the rag weed pollen in the atmosphere in the season - and what have you left? Just an occasional mild to daubtful case of watery nose and blear-eyes. a spring a early sum- mer distemper, sure enough, but nothing to write to the paper about.

Inmate Makes Brief
Escape From A|catraz
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated PresS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA des-
perate and clever bid for freedom
from fortress-like Alcaraz prison
was made yesterday by a 50-year-
old murderer and robber who board
ed an Army ferry boat wearing a
stolen Army uniform. He was ar
rested a few minutes later when the
boat docked at nearby Angel Island,
an Army base.
John K. Giles, serving a 25-year
sentence for an attempted post Of
flee railway car robbery in Utah in
1885, is believed to be the first per-
son to have escaped The Rock" In
San Francisco Bay long enough to
reach another point of land.
Described by Warden James A.
Johnston as "a lore wolf who does
his own scheming," Giles, who was
employed as a rigger on the dock,
had patiently collected piece by
piece an Army uniform from mill
tary laundry sent to the peniten-
tiary for cleaning.
Giles hid under the dock as the
ferry approached this morning and
crawled aboard when it tied up. He
was missed when a routine check
of convicts was made just after the
ferry departed.
There have been less than a dozen
attempted escapes from Alcatraz
since the Government took it over
in 1884 for housing about 300 of the
country'S worst criminals.
