PREVENT HAY FEVER, .
DR. FURBUSrHJRGES
Health Director Says Destroy
Woods Boforo Thoy
Flower
With the "open season" for hay
fever rapidly approaching, Director
of Health Furbush bas issued an ap
peal for public co-operatlon in the
tight to curb the growth of ragweed
nnd other rank weeds whose, pollen
is n menace to hoy-fever 'sufferers.
A city ordinance provides n pcnnlty
for property owners who permit weeds,
noxious and poisonous plants and other
offensive j:egctnble growths to nttaln
a height of more than one foot, ex
cept on land under cultivation. Were
this ordinance rigidly enforced the
growth of ragweed would 'be impossible.
"Persons who arc mindful of thc
health of their own families and that
of others should not wait for the en
forcement of this ruling," the di
rector states. "The Bnould volun
tarily act In conjunction with health
authorities In abating such disease
producing nuisances.
"The best method of eradicating hay
fever is by the cultivation of neglected
grounds, but where this is not feasible
thc dangerous weeds should be up
rooted or cut dawn before the flower
ing stage. This prevents the formation
of thc pollen and tho production of
seeds.
"Hay fever Is a preycntablo disease,
and united action on the part of the
public to rid this city of noxious weeds
will greatly assist In eliminating it."

Captain Bernard, Who Studiod
Horo, Tolls Unlvorslty Mu
seum of Voyago
BOUND BY ICE TWO YEARS
After passing more than two years
Imprisoned in the Ice at Taylor Island,
Victoria Land, which is the northern
most part of the middle of North Ameri
ca, Captain Joseph Bernard, who is
well known In Philadelphia, has written
the University Museum n letter which
barely hints of the. hardships he endured
hut which Is rich in promise of one of
the most complete archaeological col
lections of the far north ever gathered.
Six yearn ago, after an nrctie voyage
In his ship, the Teddy Bear, Captain
Bernard visited Philadelphia and sold
his ethnological collection to John
Wanamnkcr. In 101B he obtained In
struction In scientific collecting nt the
university Museum nnd sailed again for
the northlnnd In 1010.
The letter is Important because it in
dicates that for thc first time a region
hitherto unknown save In 'the baldest
deatlls is likely to bocome scientifically
understood. Stcfaneso'n spent some time
In part of thc region, but his writings
disclose mat nn lld not penetrate nearly
so far ns has Captain Bernard.
The letter of Captnln Bernard is here
given Just as writttn, but ns he is a
French Canadian thc spelling will be
excused :
"Having a opportunity to despatch
mail to thc States, the first in three
years, I thought I would write you a
few words. We got froze fn nt Taylor
Island, Victoria Land, in August. 1017.
nnd wns unnble to irce thc schooner till
September 1010. It wns very desert
land to stay so long. Games were
scarce and no natives within n hundred
mile so w; did not fare so good. I
manage to cress Victoria Strait to King
William Land and Adelaide Pcnlnsuln
in April of 1010 nnd obtain a collection
of implement and clodlng. Those na
tive differ much from the Coronation
Gulf nnd Victoria Land people.
"In the Sprlug of 1017 we located
nn excavation thc site of two villages
at Cap Kurpcnstern nnd obtain very
interesting nnd extensive collection.
We located several other villages very

WE NEVER pass the buck, but we always pass
out benefits. Frankly, we are not losing $25
and $30 a piece on these suits. But we are passing
up a- legitimate opportunity to make a great deal
more than we are selling them for.
The facts are these. The suits in this event came
to us at a tremendous concession. They were
scheduled for regular $60 and $65 lines. But quick
action at the psychological moment enabled us to
cut the cost almost in two. And now similar action
will enable you to do likewise.
If you don't want them at $35, you can wait and
later on pay $60 and $65 for suits of similar quality.
It's up to you. We just thought we'd like to start
the season rolling with " a homer," and this is it.
They're conservative styles that never go out of
fashion, in dark worsted pencil stripes and neat silk
mixtures, and the workmanship is every stitch of it
$60 and $65 grade.

Incroase of 34,000, In tho
Last Year
FINANCIAL REPORT GIVEN
Ten thousand Presbyterian cburchea
throughout the country report a' net
increase of 34,000 communicants for
thc last year, as compared with the de
crease of nearly 20,000 reported bytli
churches one yenr ago.
These figures arc from thc stated'

announced yesterday by the Rev. Wil
liam Pugb, who has been nt work the
last few months upon the records in the
office of tho late Rev. Dr. William
H. Roberts in thc Wlthcrspoon Build-'
Ing.
It Is the largest increase of member
ship reported since 1017, which marked
tho beginning of the great slump ta
membership reported by all denomina
tions during the wnr period.
The Presbyterian Sunday schools hart
an enrollment of 1,351,260, as com
pared with 1,310,410 last year. The
whole number of communicant Is
1.037,105.
Presbyterian contributions also madu
a big forward Jump in the year, the total
being $43,071,072, whereas the sum of
$32,804,708 wns reported in 1010.
Much credit for this must be given,
to the New Era propaganda which bas
sought to increase thc interest of church
members in all lines ot cnurch activity.
Upward of $3,200,000 was given for
home missions, an Increase of about
$1,000,000 over last year Foreign
missions received upward of $3,500,
000, or an increase of SI, 500,000. Con

$410,000: church erection from $179,
000 to $354,000: relief and sustenta-'
tlon from $200,000 to $580.000. , and
frecdmen from $200,000 to $200,000.
Only in temperance work was there
a decline in contributions, probably"
because most persons bellevcdthat with
the coming of prohibition the church's
activities along that line would be less
pressing. Whereas $234,000 was given
by thc Presbyterian churches to tem
peranee in 1010. there was only $220.
000 given in 1020. '
For congregational expenses, the
Presbyterians gave $25,700,000 this
year, as against $21,097,000 last year.

Lnited States has 0700 churches, 0024
