itAG WEED MAIN CAUSE
SPREAD HAY -FEVER
Hay -fever is usually caused by the
inhalation of the pollen of various
plants, the proteins of which set up
disturbances in the human system.
Many people believe the cause of
hay -fever to be goldenrod because
its golden yellow flowers are seen in
abundance at the time when hay-
fever -becomes prevalent. Goldenrod,.
however, depend. on insects to carry
the pollen from flower to flower and
because of this the pollen grains are
sticky, and produced only in moder-
ate quantity.For this reason it is
practically impossible to inhale the
pollen unless the flowers come in
contact with, the face. In contrast
with the goldenrod, there are the rag-
weeds growing unnoticed in as Iarge
numbers. They are wind pollinated
and responsible for the majority of
cases of hay -fever. In the inconspic
nous flowers, pollen grains are pro-
duced abundanty and being light in
weight pollute the atmosphere in, the
slightest breeze.
Though hay -fever is more preval-
ent in the fall of the year, it is not
confined wholly to that season. Some
people may be affected in the spring
when the trees are shedding pollen
in profusion. Among the offenders
are maple, ,elm, poplar, willow, oak,
ash, birch and butternut. Others peo-
ple may suffer in early summer when
such grasses as timothy, red top,
orchard grass, Kentucky bluegrass,
and couch grass are in bloom. Of the
plants causing trouble in late summer
and fall, ragweed is by far the most
important. In fact it has been esti-
mated that '70 per cent of all hay-
fever is caused by ragweed and re-
lated species. Other weeds causing
hay -fever at this time of the year L»;H;.,»r.,;✓..;.a++-4.,1":,e+;«"5+:1«"+«.w;+,vr,4+'r.`+e. ».... +«; 44. k!„++.+,'« i4++ »<»
are pigweed, lamb's quarters, cockle- +1
bur,•hemp, and English plantain. ;f
One peculiarity of hay -fever is that
susceptibility is highly specific and
those who are affeeted by the pollen'
of one plant are usually immune to
that of other plants. For this reason,
it is sometimes possible to move be-
yond the range of the Plant 'respon-
sible and thus escape its pollen. Oth-
ers obtain reliefby means • of a pro-
tective injection administered •by a
physician. It should be remembered
that hay -fever is greatly aggravated
by drafts, such as provided by the
electric fan or the automobile.
Ragweed is a coarse branching
weed with hairy sterns two to five
feet high, Being aoi annual, it de-
pends entirey on its seed for survival
from year to year. To control it,
ragweed must be prevented from go-
ing to seed, and the, seed already in
the soil must be fofced to germinate
at a time when the seedlings can be
destroyed.
CONSTRUCTING AIRDROMES
IS BIG JOB
A large amount of work is involved
in the construction of hangars,' build.
ing's and in the levelling of air fields
in connection with the Empire Train-
ing Plan. Over eighty airports are
in different stages of construction in
Canada at the present time. An aver-
age case meant undertaking the fol-
lowing tasks: up -rooting 2,500 trees;
moving 175,000 cubic yards of dirt;
hauling and applying 60,000 tons of
crushed stone and 77,000 gallons of
resurfacing to construct runways;
laying eight miles of tiled, drains;
excavating 16,000 cubic yards of open
ditchings; seeding 140 acres of land.
All this was aside from actual con.
struction of hangars and buildings.
If British Empire Falls Quake

Sees Winston Churchill as Master of dress to Britain last week, Miss
Dyke holding Back Chaos That Thomepson's address was the first in
Would Swamp Every Country anew CBC series.
In World "The -,plutocratic England you at-
tack is today a socialist, state,' said
-1= - the notell correspondent and coni-
mentator•, "a socialist state created
without class war, created out of
love, and led by an artistocrat fen
whom 'England builds no eagle's nest
or palaces out of the taxes of her
people, a man who cares,nothing.for
money, and for the coming world
that a free and socialist British so-
ciety will surely help to build if ever
it is built.”
The British Empire is "an ancient'
structure, cemented with blood,"
she added. It is "an incredibly deli-
cate and . exquisite mechanism, held
together lightly now, by imponder-
able elements of credit and prestige,
experience and skill, written and un-
written laws, codes and habits.
World Equalizer
"This • remarkable and artistic
thing, life British Empire, part em-
pire mill part commonwealth, is the
only world-wide organization in ex-
istence, the world equalizer and
equilibrium.
"If you bring it down, the planet
will rock with an earthquake such as
it has never known. We in the Unit-
ed States will shake with that earth-
quake, and so will Germany.
"I think that often in your sleep -
Montreal, July 21 =- The. British
Empire is "the only world-wide stab-
ilizing force forlaw and order on the
pant", and should it fall "the planet,
will rock with an earthquake," Dor-
othy Thompson said in a radio ad-
dress here tonight.
Speaking over the national net-
work of the Canadian Broadcasting'
Corporation on the invitation of the
director of public information for
Canada, G. H. Lash, Miss Thompson
replied to Hitler's "Last Chance" ad -
A BUSINESS RHYME
When the dust is on the counter
and the lobweb's on the shelf, there's
not one in the store but your own die -
heartened • self, and your stock is
getting shelf -worn, and everything
looks stale, and bills enough are com-
ing in to make a banker pale; Oh!
then's the time a fellow is feelin'
kind o' blue, and puzzled with the
thought of the proper thing to do. Ina
such a situation but one remedy ap-
plies—if you want to get the cust-
omens, you've got to advertise)
mess nights you realize this Mr. Hit-
ler, and sweat breaks over you, think-
ing for a moment not of a Nazi de-
feat but of a Nazi victory."
Prime Minister Winston Churchill:
was described by Miss Thompson as
"the' master of the dyke against
world chaos,"
She did not know what spirits
surrounded Hiter, "but around you..
Winston Churchill, is a gallant com-
pany of ghosts. Elizabeth is there,:
and sweetest Shakespeare. Drake is
there, and Raleigh, and Wellington -
Burke is there, and Walpole, and,
Pitt.
"Byron is there, and Wordsworth&
and Shelley., • Yes and I think Wash-
ington is there, and Hamilton, two
men of English blood whom gallant:
Englishmen defended' in your parlia-
ment. And Jefferson is there, who -
died again the other day' in France.
All the makere of a world of freedom,
and law are there."
Attack Leadership
Miss Thompson said she expected
that the whole force of German
propaganda in the 'immediate future
would los concentrated on trying to
break down Britain by removing her
leadership.
"It seems that Germany has net,
quarrel with Great Britain. Hitler's.
quarrel is exclusively with this par-
ticular British Government, and es-
pecially with its head, Mr. Churchill..
If Mr. Churchill will only resign and'
a government come in which is ac-
ceptable to Mr, Hitler, he will be
glad to make peace immediately."
This, said Miss Thompson, was a
line of argument that everybody was
familiar with. It had been said with
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and other
countries that Germany had absorb-
ed.
