With each ragweed plant pro-
ducing up to a billion tiny pollen
grains about 1-2500 in diameter,
'ducklng" the menace is highly un-
likely. Obviously, someone who lis
allengic to ragweed pollen can es-
cape its effects by leaving the area
where it is prevalent.
The Pacific Coast, desert a d
mountain regions of the Rock y
Mountain states, northern Minneso-
ia and Michigan, the wooded area
of Maine and New Hampshire, the
Adirondacks in New York and the
southern tip of Florida are 90
havenS for many sufferers. But for
those less fortunate who can pos
s1bly escape the weed, either v
relocating or taking an ocean voy-
age, medical treatment can be of
great help.
The most effective treatment for
ragweed allergy is immunization
against ragweed allergen Formerly
1t took as many as Is to so injec-
tions each year before the ragweed
season began, to reduce h e
severity of symptoms and b d
immunity. But many thought t h e
cure" was as bad as the disease. y
Now, however, allergists have de-
VelOped a repository or one shot
method of immunization. In this
method, pollen extract is emulsifi-
ed with oil. This emulsification per-
mitS a much higher concentration
of extracts to be absorbed gradu-
ally by the tissues. Occasionally
there are some experienced reac-
ions, but many doctors believe
that these reactions can be avoided
if adequate testing is done ON the
patient before the injection.
1t should be noted that the re
pository or One-shot treatment S
still in the testing stage and i S
being used on a limited scale by
physicians and clinics. Dr. Murray
Dworetsky, chief of The New York
Hospitals Allergy Clinic, believes
that research on the one-shot
treatment has a long way to go.
For those who have not been sub
jected to immunization,. there e
certain drugs which can help. An
tihistamines are helpful for e s
severe cases, but should My
be taken under a physicians direc-

SEAMS TO ME
Stitching Hints
Help Beginners

If you've just bought your
first sewing machine. and
know nothing about using it,
you're probably frantic. Or.
if you've tried sewing, but
without success, I think you.
too, should follow some of
these stitching hints.
Good posture is important
when sewing. You'll get far
better results If you sit as far
back as possible, with tummy
pulled In, shoulders back, and
chair pulled up close to the
machine. Sit in the middle
of the chair, not on the edge.
This even balance will help
you sew better, and you
won't tire as easily during a
long stretch at the machine.
Lack Of practice is the only
reason for stitching crooked
seams. You must learn to
use the knee or foot pedal so
that your machine runs at an
even pace and starts and
stops smoothly. Too many
women stitch in jerks and
spurts. They start off like
speed demons and lose con
troll of the machine. Learn
control. moving slowly and
evenly, then pick up speed as
you gain confidence and feel
master of your machine.
Practice on paper, first,
with the m a C hine I'M
threaded. Use ruled paper so
you can stitch back and forth
on the lines. While stitching,
keep the wide side Of the
presser foot on the line as a
guide. Then, stitch with the
narrow side Of the presSer
foot on the line. To pivot
your needle at square cor
ners, stitch to the corner,
then with needle on the up
ward stroke and before
needle is out of the paper,
lift the presser foot and turn
the paper SO your corner is
squared off. Put preSSer foot
down, stitch to next corner,
lift, turn and lower as you

First Lady
Accepts
Basket

Mrs. John F. Kennedy has
been presented with Q tor
toise-shen wastebaSket for
her historic decoration pro-
gram at the White House.
The wastebasket formerly
belonged to Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant and was presented by
his widow to Mrs. Leland
Stanford in 1887.
1t is presently on display
in the lobby Of Stanford
University Museum for two
weeks, starting last Friday.
The Stanfords became good
friends Of the Grants shortly
after Leland jr.'s death in
1885. Later in Washington,
the Presidents widow was
helpful to the new Senator
from California and his wife.
A card pinned to the red
satin bow on the waste
basket in Mrs. Stanford'S own
hand, describes the curio as
a tortoise shell bag that
always hung in Gen. Grants
room at the White House and
his own home in New York,
in which he placed waste
paper. Presented to Mrs. Le-

eral Grant, March 1897.
The gift was offered to the
White House by Mr.. John

the Stanford Art Gallery and
Museum.
The university's Board Of
Trustees, in approving the
gift, noted that "the waste
basket would find a better
