KVKIfTIl KLKSS we don't expect the powers that he will 11 take the proposition very seriously 11 1 the preseul time. Athletic authorities are notoriously conservative.

As we now repar l it. Riant hives is neither neurotic nor nnwlltic that Is, it is not due to any nervous, emotional or men tal factor nor to any fault in the blood vessels. It is probably an alleri;lc manifestation in every In stance, like asthma, hay fever, an.l ordinary hives. 1 fear there Is no plainer term for allergic; it means caused by a protein tmhstance that finds entrance to the blood by some means other than normal digestion.
