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

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.
