The records of the American Hay Fever association indicate that the victims of lmy fever In the United States are more tliuu und that the number is steadily increasing, both apparently and actually. Tills is set forth by William Scheppegrell, A. M., M. L president of tile American Hay Fever association, and chief surgeon .of the hay fever and asthma clinic, Charity hospital, New Orleans, in a paper on the subject for the United States public health service. The apparent increuse is attributed to the fact that many cases of lmy fever, especially those occurring outside of tlie most common fall season and formerly classified as summer colds, rhinitis, recurrent catarrh, etc., are now more generally recognized us hay fever. The increase is ulso real, as the increase in facilities of transportation, by means of automobiles and trolley cars, lias resulted in an increase in the development of suburban settlements, practically all of which are more or less directly exposed to pollen infestation. In view of the importance of hay fever, as regards both the large number affected and the length and severity of the symptoms, Doctor Seheppegrell says the treatment of this disease demands a most careful consideration. Care in Choosing Homes. In the selection of homes hay fever subjects should choose localities distant from ureas, continues the paper. The pollen of the grasses and of the summer hay fever weeds generally does not ordinarily travel very fur, and a mile is usually a safe distance. The pollen of tjie ragweeds and other fall hay fever weeds, however, is very buoyant and in windy weather may travel five miles or more. The effects of tree pollens should also be borne In mind by persons subject to hay fever. In view of the large number of persons in the United States afflicted with hay fever, the subjects of trees and plants from a hay fever standpoint should be given due consideration by the modern landscape architect. During their attacks of hay fever patients should avoid localities infested with weeds generally, and especially with those weeds to the pollen of which they are sensitive. Should their neighborhood be infested with weeds, and an ordinance be in force prohibiting such condition, it should, in the interest of public health, be reported to the board of health. Electric fans should be avoided during the hay fever season, as the chilling of the surface of the skin tends to react on the mucous membrane of the nose, and in this way to Increase the nasal irritation. In addition to this, the current of air from the fans disturbs the dust, which contains its proportion of pollen during the hay fever season, the inhalation of which increases the discomfort of the patient. Hay fever subjects are frequently surprised that their symptoms are aggravated in theaters, where they expected protection from atmospheric polien. The reason is that modern amusement halls operating in summer are practically all supplied with typhoon fans. These draw in the pollen-laden air in enormous quantities and force it Into the auditorium, where the effect is quickly felt by those sensitive to these pollens. Such places of amusement should, therefore, be avoided by unimmunized hay fever subjects during the season of weed-infeste- d their attacks. A reasonable amount of- - exercise is beneficial ; but this should be taken without increased exposure to the hay fever pollen. Swimming, especially in salt water, Is an excellent form of exercise. A cold shower after a warm bath is an excellent means of toning the skin and stimulating the nervous system in hay fever cases. The regular practice of this makes the patient less sensitive to changes of temperature und to air currents whftli tend to increase the nasal irritation in these cases. The cold showers should be followed by vigorous rubbing und are beneficial in all cases except when the patient fails to react from the shower and when they are contraindicated on account of high blood pressure or other reusons. Before making a change In residence, with a view of obtaining benefit In hay fever, especially if the change is to be permanent, the patient should consult a physician familiar with the etiology of hay fever. Unless this is the case, not only may the result be disappointing, but the conditions may even be aggravated. I cause severe aiiacKS." White Indians Discovered by Marsh Germanys Shipping Now Ranks Seventh Gains in Volume After Slipping to Eleventh Place. jj, Hamburg, Oermajiy. German shipping claims to he fighting against tremendous odds in its attempt to regain its place in the sun. The loss of 90 per cent of the German commercial fleet through the war and the terms of surrender means that German shipowners practically have had to start anew. By taking up loans, buying back some of the ships delivered to X the entente victors under the treaty of Versailles and refraining from paying dividends in recent years the shipping concerns of Germany have gradually X f worked up a postwar tonnage of gross register tons, which is about X the German prewar tonnage nnd which comprises 4 per cent of the X total worlds tonnage as compared with j X 2,800,-00- 0 j- one-hal- f 11 per cent In 1914.

It was the sense of the treaty of Versailles that this delivery by private capital was to lie regarded as a payment on account by the German empire nnd hence to be refunded to the individual concerns by the German state. The financial condition of the reich made complete indemnification impossible. An agreement was therefore readied between the government and the shipowners by which the latter were to receive an amount sufficient to rebuild but of their prewar tonnage. 1914. Roedern Pictures Conditions. Count Siegfried Roedern, chairman of the League of German Shipowners and Freighters, in a prepared statement replying to specific questions, gave the following picture of shipping conditions : In 1914 the German merchant marine occupied second place among the merchant fleets of the world ns far as actual tonnage was concerned. It then comprised 5, 200, (MX) gross register tons and was surpassed only by Great Britain. In the course of the war Germany lost about half of her ships through seizure, sinking, etc. Next, in accordance with the terms of the Versailles treaty, she had to give up approxiIncluded mately the second half. among the vessels that had to be turned over to the victors were afl the larger passenger boats. P.y the peace treaty and the German legislation resulting therefrom German shipping was compelled to pay a part of the war bill immediately in kind by giving up not only the ships already in the oue-thir- Inflation Makes Handicap. Because of the inflation of the last years the indemnity payments of the government did not suffice to rebuild the third of (lie old tonnage agreed upon. Besides, in distributing the government indemnity the small shipowners were to lie given the preference, so that most of the larger concerns were able to finance a replacement program of but 20 per cent if the prewar tonnage out of the funds furnished by the The fact that the larger government. concerns nevertheless built on an averof their old tonnage Is age due solely to their watering their stock and assuming new debts. Due to the fact that a number of small and middle-sizeconcerns were nble to exceed this program and that several new companies have been founded the entire German merchant marine lias now, upon completion of tlie reconstruction program, been brought to 2,800,000 tons in ottier of the prewords, to about one-hal- f war tonnage both by new construction nnd through tlie repurchase of vessels delivered. Compared with the former fleet, the present comprises comparatively few purely passenger ships nnd more mixed vessels as wed as freighters pure and simple. The fact that these newly constructed ships are equipped with modern machinery does not counterbalance tne fact that tlie total value of the ships has depreciated over the prewar value. Germany has taken up her principal former romes, such ns those to North America, South America, the Orient, Dutch East Indies and Australia. Tlie Indemnity payments for the merchant vessels delivered were con-- ' tinned only until March. 1923. Since that time no additional payments have been made by tlie reich for the un completed part of tlie reconstruction program. The building program undertaken as a result of tlie indemnity payments Is now complete to within four or five that for yenrs ships. It is to come the building pace of the last years of reconstructiou or even of the years before the war cannot lie kept up. one-thir- High Rivers Flood English Towns d d ' The (Paid season Is at hand in sections of England, due to the overflowHere is a scene at ing of rivers.
