(Millener, sage, experimenter and erstwhile cus todian at Union Pacific headquarters, with the theory that electricity is to blame for hay fever. Lest the region of hay fever vic tims read only this far and then rush out to order their homes installed with gas and Ben Franklin's invention cast into the discard, let it be said that it's the electricity in the air and not in the wires. A hay fever victim, a clerk in an ad joining office, came blub-blubbing through Dr. Millener's stronchold just as a tall, hungry-looking reporter and a newspaper man sauntered in on their quest for items of the day. Lamping the hay fever sufferer, the late Union Pacific wireless shark re marked: "Electricity is indirectly the cause of that man's malady." "Zasso. How'szat." chorused the news gleaners. lo make a short story a little shorter, and translated from the sci entific and technical to the parlance of the layman. Dr. Millener's theory is that pollen, which the doc says is the stuff from flowers and plants that floats through the air and puts the "works" on hay fever sufferers, be comes charged with electricity in its passage through the ozone, creeps into the victim's head and then gives him a shock. A few years ago, according to Dr. Millener, bis duties included those of cleaning motors, and he always no ticed that hay fever attacked him after the task was done. It now seems that the only way out of the matter for the hay fevr colony is for the members to equip them selves with specialty constructed hel mets, like the gas masks the Euro pean soldiers wear in the trenches, so as to ward off the electrically charged, deadly pollen, whatever that is.

DEMOCRATS TRY TO FIND REVENUE -f Senators Trying to Agree on Measure That Will Meet Heavy Outlay. PREPAREDNESS COST HIGH Washington, Aug 14. The impor tance of the $200,000,000 revenue bill to which senators today devoted many hours of deliberation in caucus is be ing impressed upon leaders by the fact that appropriations of the session now nearing completion have broken all records. With passage this week of the $50,000.00(1 ship purchase bill and probable aproval by the house of the senate's gigantic naval bill, the appro priations of the Sixty-fourth congress will have exceeded the previous high record by at least a half billion dollars. While exact figures cannot be com puted until the gavel has fallen on the last supply bill of the session, the ag gregate appropriation by congress for all purposes probably will aproxi mate $1,700,000,000 as against $1,114, 000,000 for the Sixty-third congress. Besides regular supply bills which total as they now stand $1,387,206,580, congress will have added when the shipping hill is approved more than $90,000,000 for special purposes. There also have been contract authorizations amounting to about $207,000,000, all of which would bring the grand aggre gate to $1,685,000,000 with the uncer tain general deficiency appropriation bill still in the making to be added at the end of the session. ' Special appropriations include $20,- 000,000 for a government nitrate nlant: $6,000,000 for good roads: $15.- 000.000 for rural credits, and $50,100, 000 for the government shipping pro ject.

When the amended revenue bill gets through conference, it is expected congress will be ready to adjourn. Leaders of both parties are hoping ad journment will come by September 1.

Asquith Proposes To Extend Life of The Parliament London, Aug. 14. Premier Asquith introduced in the House of Commons today a bill to extend the life of the present parliament for eight months or until the end of next May. Mr. Asquith said if was not the purpose of the government to ask Parliament at this time to take up alteration of the qualifications for the franchise. Dealing wtih a suggestion that the franchise should be extended to all soldiers and munitions workers, Mr. Asquith said there were the gravest difficulties in the way, and that there was serious objection from a military viewpoint to holding a general elec tion among the troops ii the field. He added: "General enfranchisement has been brought fate to face with another problem. What are we going to do with the women?" He was bound to say, the premier went on, that representatives of the women had presented to him a per fectly unanswerable case. They were content to abide by the present fran chise, but would urge their, claims if the qualifications for the franchise were altered. That the decision of the cabinet that the undertaking of .lew fran chise and registration reform in the midst of a great war was too com , lex and Controversial a problem,' was announced by Premier Asquith in the House of Commons. At a time, said the premier, when the war has reached a happy, promising stage, and when it more than ever required the absolute concentration of the government, it was impossible to consider the large questions in volved in a revision of the franchise. He further implied that any new bill for franchise reforms in the future must oi necessity include women. After a brief criticism by Sir Ed ward Carson, who urged that eery combatant, irrespective of age, was there was no, reason why the wo- man's claim should stand in the way of giving all combatants, a vote, the house passed the first reading of the hill extending the life of the present Parliament. A separate bill bringing into force a new register on the basis of present qualifications on May 31 next, would be introduced in the house tomorrow. There is no doubt that one of the main reasons for the government's avoidance of the franchise problem , was the threat of the women that they would refuse to recognize any change in the franchise in favor of fighting men which failed at the same time to recognize women's rights to the franchise. nr m j TiTJi.1.
