WE do not know what causes
migraine, the one-slded headache
which is so severe that some have
referred to it as the "grandaddy Of
all headaches"
There is, however, q theory that
the attacks, which are periodic,
come on because of release into
the blood of q substance known as
histamine. This, in turn, is
thought to occur as the result of
some hidden allergy. Doctors con-
lecture that people who have mi
graine headaches may be over
sensitive to some substance, such
as food or pollen or dust.
Reaction To 1t
Whatever the substance may be,
the theory is that when these
people come in contact with it,
they react to it by a release of
histamine into the blood.
Histamine is ordinarily present
in the cells of the body, but only
n very tiny bit indeed IS normally
present in the blood stream. Some
people seem unable to tolerate any
larger amount of this substance
in the circulation and they are the
ones who are believed TO develop
migraine when histamine enters
the blood.
Because of these considerations,

BY FRANK COLBY.
Readers Want to Know.

Hollywood: Here is clipping
which reads: 1.-THE hand that wrote
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" now Is
silent" Please discuss.-Mrs. H. H.
Answer-That which is silent Is
noiseless. Better: 80 has been
stilled."
Pittsburgh: Now that you have
placed on the shelf the dictionary
curiosa "SHIF-un" for chiffon and
'ree-VAIL-yi" for reveille, why not
give us like treatment of the word
abdomen, which the people through
out the country pronounce ABB
duh-men"?-M. E. A.
Answer-Most dictionaries list as
first choice "2h-DOE-m'n." But
AB-duh-m'n Is the second choice
OF Merriam nc>at-I =, INK ana
Wagnalls, New Century, and the
first choice of Thorndike Century
and Kenyon Il Knots. So, if you
prefer AB-duh-m'n, who can say
you're wrong?
Fort Scott: Please pronounce the
WOTu ItLlCeiL. "A SCHOOL JcdEllCr
friend insists that the 4" Is long.
She says, "ret-eye-sert." - Mrs.
D. w.
Answer-Sorry, the 81" is short
as in 'it, is" and Is often obscured
to a neutral or "uh" sound. In
careful speech the short "i'' Is GUS
tomary, thus: RET-i-sent.
Newport: Be public benefac-
tor and settle once and for all tbs
pronunciation Of the word atom
ic." Radio commentators pro-
nounce it -TOM-ik" but I say
Alum mix" and many others do,
too. Set us blockheads right, will
you?-J. M. r.
