V mmM Thmaday, Angnat 17.1M0 HEALTH TALKS , <y j?„« , " r- •..»»** mi- Wfttek That Wfc««f Asthma is a broad term meaning any conditipn in which wheezing occurs but broachici asthma ia almost certainly an allergic condition, the educational committee the Illinois State Medical Society observes in a Health Talk. In bronchial asthma the symptoms are wheezing, shortness of breath and cough. As in any form of allergy, the sufferer has usually inhaled or eaten certain substances which are- harmless to thfe majority of persons, but which produce great distress in those individuals sensitive or allergic to them. In many persons, it is difficult to lie down daring an attack; they resort to all procedures, such as sitting up all night long in a chair or leaning forward on a «ble to help them breathe more Bily. V The wheezing associated with bronchial asthma varies with different patients. Sometimes the wheeze is very quiet and can be heard only with a stethoscope. Sometimes it is so loud that the aound can be heard across the room and even in the ne*t room. The wheeling occurs when the victim attempts to get the air out the lungs, ta a person with a chronic bronchial asthma, an xray film of the chest will show that the diaphram is pushed down from its normal position and the ribs will have a straight character instead of the normal curved formation. This change develops because the sufferer is using all the muscles he has to push out the air which has become trapped in the breathing apparatus of the chest. £fery often' this action produces another condition which is called emphysema. Bronchial asthma is also Characterized by the history' of other allergic conditions, either in the patient or in the patient's family, indicating heredity to be a factor in at least sixty percent of the eases. That is why children of allergic parents should be watched jrery carefully from the day of *irth. Each new food should be pven one at a time to learn whterer the baby tolerates it. A skin test is the usual method .--at establishing the culprit causing bronchial asthma. The skin is scratched with fine lines, ordinarily a number of rows are made. The Site may be either the forearm or the back, while in children it may be either the chest or the abdofj) nen. Only the outer layer of the afctn 1B fcrratched and no Wood is drawn. Materials, both in liquid and solid form, are then applied to the scratches. If positive, a sort of hive formation will result. Then, if necessary, an injection procedure may be used to obtain ttore information. Persons Inclined to wheeze, be Short* of breath and cough should be suspicious pf aa&ipa.' If a diagnosis has been definitely established. they should avoid anything that causes an attack, such as certain face powders, catB, dogs, horses and certain food. Dust should be avoided. In house cleaning a good vacuum cleaner with attachments should be used, and sweeping and dusting should be avoided. Whisk brooms only shift the dust from one plhce to another. Best results in asthma occur when the cause is found and then avoided. If the cause cannot be entirely avoided, the patient can be given injections of an extract of the offending substance to. help him build up a resistance to it. High Pollen Count Makes Hay Fever Victims Unhappy The Midwest produces more ragweed pollen than any other area in the United States. This is hardly a comfort for the hay fever sufferers who must cling to jobs, homes and schools during August and September. But for those who -can flee Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and sister states by August 15, the Travel Bureau of the Chicago Motor Club suggests several locales where relief awaits. Northern Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and the Minnesota Arrow Michigan and _ the Minnesota Arrowhead country are within com paratively easy reach. But they are mentioned with reservations, as southerly winds and adjacent farming country sometimes cause a considerable pollen invasion. A sneeze is unknown in the- wooded valleys and peaks of Washington and Oregon. This region is a perfect refuge. Other western states offer comparable- relief. California is good although the orchards and fields of southern California should be avoided. Montana, Idaho and N e v a d a b e a r v e r y l i t t l e pollen. Utah and Colorado have a generally low pollen index although their principal cities , Salt Lake City and Denver, are not recommended for hay fever victims. Colorado is on the doubtful list also around Colorado Springs and Burlington. ' Arizona an<l New Mexico are ideal, especially the former. The pollen count rises slightly, however near Albuquerque. In the East Maine and New Hampshire in the North and Florida in the south are both recommended although the pollen count caft vary in both regions. Augusta, Bar Harbor, Presque Isle and Houlton in Maine are usually good, as are Concord, New London and others in New Hampshire. The lower east coast of Florida, the Everglades and the Keys have* not been thoroughly investigated but air tests at Miami and Miami Beach have been very favorable. SHORTEST WAY TO GRAVEYARD BETWEEN PARKED CARS i ^The shortest way to the graveyard is between parked Cars. Each year the parents of more than 2,150 U.S. children discover that fact. To find out why American children are being killed off by automobiles, the Chicago Motor Club recently made an extensive survey in Indiana and Illinois. When the figures were tabulated the results showed that 17 per cent of deaths and injuries among children occur because they dart into the streeet from behiind parked cars. "Crossing the street from behind a parked car is usually the shortest route to the other side of the street", -cautions Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, "but is is also the shortest route to the graveyard. "A motorist traveling 20 m.p.h. requires forty-two feet in which to stop his car. This distance--almost three car lengths--is the minimum warning that a driver needs before coming to an emergency stop while driving 20 m.p.h. If the driver lacks ample warning such as occurs in instances where children dart out from betweea parked cars, a child's life,is snuffed out." Hayes then / pointed out that there- are four reasons why a between- parked-cars crossing is more dangerous than a corner crossing: 1. Visibility /or the driver and person making the era-- ing. 2. The crossing is una; 3. Sufficient stopping distance not slowed for the automobile driver. 4. The person making the crossing receives no assiatanoa from safety patrols or police officers. Eighty per cent of the drivers involved in fatal pedestrian accidents in urban areas were obeying traffic regulations according to Chicago Motor Club traffic engineers. This indicated that in most instances children who pop out between parked cars are at fault. What is the solution to this serious problen^ which faces Illinois and Indiana? There are two solutions. T^e first one concerns children. School safety education programs can do much to help children be better pedestrians. Safety habits formed in school are not enough. At home parents must stress safety, too. Oftentimes, parents, instead of teaching their children safe pedestrian practices, provide thafcn with poor examples. Frequently parents escort th< children across- busy streets shoeing little concern for coming or moving vehicles. By not be ~ vigilant and observant other ents unwittingly ensnare th< children into death traps. ThefS malpractices on the part of psf' ents only serve to undo the safety lessons witich the children received in school. The second solution applies to motorists. While driving through residential areas motorists should observe speed limits. Also by anticipating the impetuous actions of children motorists call avoid collisions with them. When approaching a residential area where cars are parked on both sides of the street, motorists should drive with caution. Their cars should be •ttered as far to the center of the street as possible. Everybody can help be teaching children to obey these ten pedestrian commandments: 1. Obey your safety officer. 2. Don't walk out into avstreet between parked cars. 3. Look both ways before crossing a street. 4. Wear white after dark. 5. Cross streets only at corners. 6. Watch out for turning cars. 7. Be extra alert on rainy days. 8. Don't play in or near a road* way. 9. When walking on a highway always walk on the left facing traffic. 10. At a signal-guarded corner always cross with the green light. YEXETIAN FESTIVAL Venetian Festival, the spectacular annual event sponsored by the Lake Geneva Chamber of commerce, will be held Friday, Aug. 25, according to George Fuller, chairman. Although it has been reduced to one day instead of the usual three, that day will be filled with feature attractions.
