ENTER THE HAY
FEVER SEASON

The experts tell us ragweet
pollen begins to enter the atmo
sphere in August, and that il
August and September of eacl
year as much as a half million
pounds of it r released in the
United States, possibly more.
Since ragweed pollen is the
main cause of hay fever in the
United States, this means thai
millions of Americans will soon
begin to suffer their annual seige
of hay fever. There are only three
~defenses. First, shots can be tax
en-, which reduce the allergic re-
action to ragweed pollen.
Second, one can always leave
the hay fever belt and 60 to areas
where the pollen count is very
low. A copy of a free pamphlet,
clay Fever Holiday" may be
obtained by writing the Abbott
Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill,
in care of the Pollen Survey Com
mittee, of the American Academy,
Chairman Oren c. Durham.
This pamphlet shows the aver
age pollen count found in some
600 cities of the United States
and tells where one can go to get
away from ragweed pollen. 1t
also shows that, generally speak
ing, the pollen count is heaviest
in the Mississippi Valley and
lightest in the Cascade Mountain
regions in Oregon and Washing
ton.
If you wish to escape the pol
len and can't go to Oregon or
Washington, you can find areas
of low pollen count in some parts
of California, in the Rocky Noun
tainS, or in Idaho, Utah and Ne
vada.
In addition, you can find good
conditions in the Central Adiron-
dacks, in the woods of Maine, in
New Hampshire, Northern Min
nesota and Northern Michigan,
or in the extreme southern tip of
Florida, where the sea breezes
carry away the pollen.
There is a third remedy for
some sufferers. That is air-filter-
ing. By staying in buildings which
are air-filtered, the allergy can
be controlled. However, this rules
out all football games, outdoor
sports such as hunting and great
ly limits ones activities.

not go down, but leaving his face
under water, with his arms
straight in front of him.
Fourth, show him how to use
his arms, while he kicks at the
same time. You can do this on a
bench, with the child laying
stomach down.
The final step is to take him
into the water, letting him use
both his hands and legs as you
hold him at the waist, while he
practices swimming.
By the way, the experts say
your child cannot swim if he is
thrown off a diving board, or
pier, into deep water. Unlike a
dog, the child will not swim -
he will drown.

WIDOWS GROW NUMEROUS

The rapid increase in the mum.
Der of widows in the United
States has become an importan-
economic problem. The Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company re-
Gently revealed there are now
100000 widows in the United
States.
The interesting part of this
condition is the fact that there
were only 100000 widows in
1910 and fewer than 4,OOO,O 900
twenty years earlier.
Since 1920 the number Of wild
ows has increased by ninety per
cent, while the number of adult
females has increased only sixty
three per cent. Widows are so
commonplace today that one wo-
man in four between the ages of
55 and ga, is already huSbandless.
1t is true that the mortality
rate in the nation has been e
duced and this reduction is reflect
ed in lower percentage figures for
widows, as compared to the total
population. However, the num-
Der of widows is rising at such
a pace as to be an important fac
tor for economists and manufac-
turerS to take into consideration.
The increasing use of insur-
ance, coupled with a high ratio of
heart attacks and cerebral hem
horrage fatalities among bust
ness men in today's world, is
putting more and more of the
country's. power in the hands of
women, who already spend most
Of the money spent.

CHILDREN
TO SWIM

If you are having trouble teach
ing your child to swim, you can
breathe easier. The experts say
it's easy. In fact, there is almost
nothing to it.
Unfortunately, the experts are
not teaching your child to swim
and you will have to do the job
yourself. So, this is how the ex-
perts say it can be done easiest.
First, familiarize the child with
the water and encourage him to
duck under water.
Second, teach him how to kick
his legs, by providing him sup
port for his arms, or by holding
him firmly at the shoulders.
Third, let him kick his way
across the pool, as you walk be-
side him, holding him so he will

The Secretary, q former Ore

But, he said, the key is ma

site or structure which is Of
more importance and interest to

ington to report on artificial hip
joints, sadly told his audience as
he rose to speak that q thief had
stolen all his slides from his
automobile-just another of the
many hazards Of presenting a
paper" He proceeded with the
talk. however. wondering aloud
what in the world the thief would
think Of the slides when he
opened up the loot.
TV, Movies Used
Movies and television are grad
ually replacing what used to be
the presentation Of papers at
small medical meetings. FIRE.
quently staged nowadays are the
CLOSED telecasts'
beamed to points throughout the
United States. Audiences, under
this system, can be counted in
the thousands.
But even under streamlined
conditions, topics of a medical
nature are presented not with
out difficulty.
A recent color telecast Of an
operation pictured the patient
in a greenish hue throughout the
program color not exactly de-
sireable for a patient on an
operating table.
OF course the chief trouble
with closed telecasts of medical
papers-one was recently beamed
here from Ann Arbor, Mich, and
had as its topic the Salk polio
vaccine-is that the audience
can't ask any questions.
For if a doctor can get through
the question and answer period
safely, despite all his other me-
chanical troubles, he might get
the ultimate reward which comes
with a handshake and the re-
mark from a colleague: II liked
your paper, DOCTOR"

BY JOHN McKELwAY

One mark Of the medical pro-
Ifession which distinguishes it
from others is that doctors never
make speeches" They give
papers" at least in public.
: A paper is actually a scientific
report, the result of an investi-
cation Of some kind. And it is,
perhaps. the chief means DR.. x
has Of telling the rest Of the
medical world what DR.. x has
been up to.
DR.. K may have tried out a
new antibiotic on a stream of
patients or. he might have felt
ver-emphasis was being placed
on a duct in the pancreas. At
any rate he's found something
and he seeks to add that some
thing to the tremendous store
house Of medical knowledge. DR..
x on presenting the paper will
receive a certain amount Of
Iprestige-if he gets his facts
straight-along with the hos
Ipital or medical school he rep
PRESENTS.
Tools Are Hindrance
Papers are presented at dig
nifled medical meetings, But
for some strange reason, the
tools a doctor has at his COM
mand in the actual presentation
OF his report have not kept pace
with the march of medicine. The
tools become hindrances.
Doctors usually color their
papers with lantern slides. And
the order by the speaker, MAY
I have the first slide. please"
is usually accompanied by a
certain amount of tenseness.
For. almost invariably, the
first slide appears either upside
down or is so out of focus that
| it fills the meeting hall.
At a recent medical meeting
here. the speaker-who incident
ally was speaking Of the pancreas
asked for the first slide.
Mechanical Troubles
AS the slide appeared, the
speaker found the illustrated
pancreas stretched from the

after Indians and cowboys had
passed by without realizing its
significance.
Apparently, dinosaurs in this
area in extreme Eastern Utah

catastrophe or plague and their
carcaSses were washed into some

Several skeletons were exca
waited from the rare deposit and
were shipped to museums. Then
the work languished. Although
it was preserved as a national
monument in 1915, Dinosaur was
almost forgotten until a storm
arose over plans to build a $176
million dam and reservoir at
Echo Park, across the Colorado
border
BY that time, the original
monument had been expanded
to 1926 square miles through in
clusion Of spectacular canyons of
the Green and Yampa Rivers.
Echo Park was part of this ad-
dition.
Dinosaur monument has -four
lshed as a byproduct OF the
controversy. Tourists began
driving over from U. S. Highway
40 to SCI, what the argument was
about. Congress took note Of
the area and began voting
larger appropriations. There is
talk of elevating the monument
to the status of a national park.
Tourist Boom
Attendance, negligible a few
years ago, leaped to $1,000 last
year and may hit 10000 during
1865. Nine-tenths of these
visitors went to the headquarters,
rather than to the inaccessible.
undeveloped canyon country.
Current appropriations Of
about 100000 a year have per-
mitted work to start on the
ambitious project to display

they are uncovered in the quarry.

the organ, the focus was cor
rected and the paper presented.
Frequently, however, micro
scopic slides of portions of the
.pancreas are presented in focus,
but upside down. Even the
speaker must take second look
to correct this one. And in doing
this, he takes certain gamble.
For slide operators are notorious
in their ability to get completely
mixed up and far ahead of the
talk. Some doctors feel it's best
to let them alone when they set
out to turn an upside down pam

just as much trouble.
Doctors-like others who speak
have their troubles with micro

meeting has been halted because
of a screaming or completely
dead public address system. But
IA particularly dangerous micro
phone is located at the District
Medical Society.
Dangerous Risk
What makes the instrument
dangerous is that it fits snugly
around the neck, the speaking
part jutting up conveniently near
the mouth. Often a doctor will
become so engrossed in what he's
saying that, upon finishing, he
will stride off the rostrum only to
be jerked back again by the wire
around his neck. No one has

ence usually warns the victim

Electric pointers-to under

The result is that the audience
