HIKEIER TIME Disease Result of Protein Action on Membrane DESENSITIZING IS CURE Patients Given Pollen by New Scratch Test The season when hay-fever pre vails is nearly at hand and the per son who is susceptible but would avoid it for a season should begin treatment from six to eight weeks early, according to Dr. W. K. Liv ingston, head of the University health service. It is now generally understood that hay-fever is caused by the action of some protein on the mucous membrane of ,*th'e person susceptible to that protein, he said. The ordinary type coming in sea son is almost invariably due to wind born pollen. It is estimated that abouf'one per cent of the population in this country are susceptible to liay-fever of some kind. The kinds of pollen affecting people seem to be from timothy, red-top, June grass and orchard grass. The pollen from these, car ried by the wind and inhaled by the person causes the symptoms by which hay-fever is known. These symptoms are the congestion and. the profuse discharge of the nos trils, difficulty in nasal breathing, itching of the eyes, sudden and vio lent attacks of sneezing and often sleepless nights. Added to this is the knowledge that it is of annual recurrence. One Remedy Known The only known remedy for hay fever is desensitizing. This is done by first using the scratch tests to find the pollen or protein that is causing the trouble, and then giv ing the patient increasingly larger doses of the pollen until the system is partially, if not wholly, desensi tized for that season. By the scratch test, a series of little pricks are made on the skin and a drop of solution is put on it. This is allowed to remain for half an hour and by that time there is a place quite swollen and red if it happens to be a pollen to which the patient is sensitive. These red spots tell the degree to which the patient will suffer from that pollen. The pollen to which he is most susceptible is then used to desensitize him. Small Fee Charged The protein which causes hay fever may be pollen, or it may be foods or other substances. There are hundreds of kinds of protein that may cause it, and to which the sen sitive person may be desensitized, said Dr. Livingston. Some of these are, beside the plant pollens, sal mon, clam, cod-fish, feathers, cat CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge, 1 time, 25c; 2 timet, 45c; 3 times, 60c; 1 week, $1.20.

At the Theatres REX » The jewelry worn by Mary Pick-; ford in her current production, i •■Rosita,” which opens its deluxe showings today at the Rex, came from the curio stores and jewelry ' shops of the continent and is prob ably the most authentic, so far as period is concerned, ever worn in any motion picture production It was selected by Miss Pickford herself during her last tour of Europe, all ■with the idea of being used some time for cinema purposes. As a Rex speciality, Johanna James, popular university soloist, will ap pear each evening in an elaborate at mospheric prologue, singing “Paris- j sime.” as an introduction to “Ros ita.” Attired in a striking Spanish costume, Miss James will depict the role of the Toledo street singer, with her guitar and her gay carnival rib bons. The prologue occurs at 7:20 and 9:20 p. m. each evening during the “Rosita” engagement. CASTLE Mae 'Murray, with her director husband, Bob Leonard, went to Ellis Island, on their recent visit to Aew York, to get “atmosphere” for their new Metro release, “Fashion Bow,”, at the Castle today. Miss Murray' plays the roles of two Russian sis ters in “Fashion Bow,” one of them a Broadway celebrity and the other a Russian peasant girl who comes to America to find her sister. It was to get first-hand realism for her por trayal of the peasant girl that Miss ! Murray went to Ellis Island to study the types there. But when she got there—like Moth er Hubbard who found the cupboard bare—she found that the Russian im migrant quota was filled. The next best thing was a Ukrainian woman and her brood of eight young ones. Miss Murray decided Ellis Island was fine for students of sociology, but not of art. WARNER EXHIBIT ROOM CLOSED FOR REPAIRING Work Is Being Done in Connection With Regulation of Heating System in Museum The exhibit room of the Murray Warner museum, which contains the cases of lacquer, china and J brasses, is closed for several days i while repair work is being done in ! connection with the heating of the i room. In arranging this part of ; the museum it was necessary to ! place a case in such a position that i it interfered with the regulation ! of the heat in the room, Mrs. War ner explained yesterday, and the | result was that the room became greatly overheated at times. This | is most undesirable for the art ob 1 jects on display and has necessi tated a rearrangement of some of them and the installation of another ! means of regulating the heat. The j work is practically finished and it i is probable that this room will be ' reopened within a day or two for visitors. Several oriental rugs have been ! placed on the floors of the exhi | bition rooms of the museum and j Mrs. Warner stated that these ! would be lent to the museum until I she had a suitable place for them I in her own home. The rugs are of rich eolor and texture, representing . varying Chinese designs and were purchased during Mrs. Warner’s ; visit to Peking last winter.
