How is a specific allergy dls-
corered? In much the same way
that the existence of allergies was
first made known. Eighty years
ago an Ehiglish doctor who suffer
ed from a strange ferer dlscOTered
that when he rubbed timothy grass
pollen into a cut in his hand a
red, itching wheal appeared. When
he applied the pollen to 'his nose
he had a serere attack of what
we call hay feTor. He concluded
that he was hypersensitive to pol-
lena
Today if a doctor suspects you
are suffering from an allergy he
makes skin tests to determine tOk
which things you are sensitive.
Since there are so many things
to which you could be allergic, he
first asks a series of questions. If
he learns that you feel ill every
time you clean house, he makes a
skin test with house dust or pos
sibly with the dander of one of
your house pets. If-the skin tests
show that you are hypersensitive
to house diyit, the 'doctDr can re-
dnoe your sensitivity no it He be

gradually increases the strength,of
the injection unHil you become
‘‘desensitised,” or are no longer al
lergic. The desensitising agent is
called an allergen. If your allergy
had been to something easier to
avoid, and not too essential as, for
instance, clams, the problem would
be simpler. 7%e doctor would ad
vise you not to sat clams.
If the skin tests were infallible,
allergies would be leas of a prob-

Rufe Leonard Is
Given A Tryout
Rufus Leonard, the 2<-year-old
Hartsville pitcher who was easily
the outstanding chunker in the
Palmetto league last season, is on
the Washington roster ri^t now,
persuaded to make a try for~n
berth on the Senators ifltchihi
staff by Bobo Newson, who inci
dentally is also from the Hartsville
baUiwlck.
Leonard is a most personable
chap and jn our own contacts with
him when he came into our hamlet
with the Sonoco gang we took
quite a fancy to him. We hope
.that he can make the grade with
the Senators, bnt from what we
Just heard from a Charlotte friend
of ours who has been down at Or-
lands, Fla., and who watched the
Senators work out, Leonard is
about 12th man on the hurling per
sonnel and he did not believe he
had much of a chance.
However, Rufus, if be does not
land a Senatorial berth will get 'a
chance to pitch for _elther the
Chattanooga. Tenn., or the Camr-
lotte, N. C., term teams ct Wash
ington.
But hare is where the sttekler
comes in. Rufus has a swell job ta
the mill office at HartavUTe—It
is said his salary is 1125 per week
—which amount to come 1600 plus
a month. Whether he can drag
down this amount of coin with
Charlotte is the big |C4 question.
Anyhow we‘d like to see this 28-
year-^ HaftsvlBe ehap make good.
