Waime Living ‘Save Your Electric Bulbs’

Is WPB's Newest Warning

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, August, 4 —Conserve your electric light bulbs! That's a war production board suggestion, based on the fact that a critical shortage is developing in our supply of tungsten, from which the filaments in lights bulbs arc made. The domestice radio tube situation is becoming a serious one, too. The military services are requiring all radio parts available. Ruling that certain “canning powders” constitute a definite health hazard, department of agriculture research workers are

warning home canners about the coming canning season.

Laundry Troubles

shut down during the past year the office of war information reports the following results: hotels are providing guests with finger towels, half the size of regular face towels; in an important aircraft center so many grease-soiled working garments accumulated that spontaneous combustion, and a loss of $32,000 worth of clothes resulted; prevalence of B. O. in a certain eastern war plant is being editorially mentioned in newspapers; officers’ wives are requested to do

Times Special Writer

THE 1043 offensive by the army of ragweed begins about midAugust with a barrage of pollen blanketing most of the United

States and southern Canada. The Jue will continue until the first

assault by this buoyant, air-borne frost, when a million or more of

s miserable victims will again find peace. Only those who have had pre-season immunization will be spared

this seasonal discomfort. The golden-rod and more conspicuously flowering plants which were early and Ra erroneously in- ° dicted are. known now not to have an important role in hay fever, be- 3 Ghuse their polén is too heavy : be trans-:

tance. ‘ | The pollen o ET E, feween ss read- Dr. Masters fly air-borne, and can be cargied to great altitude and over great distances by light breezes. Pollen counts made in many cities show that concentrations of as many as four or five thousand pollen grains per cubic yard may be found. Ragweed, which bears the ridiculous botanical name of ' Ambrosia, produces pollen about twice the size of a red-blood cell; spherical in shape, with fine barbs, it looks not unlike & minfature mine. When this pollen arrives at its normal goal, it fertilizes another ragweed plant. When it alights on the nasal mu- ' ous membrane of a sensitive ingividual, hay fever is the unfortunate result.

kK Pollen Brings Fever

[" Hay fever begins abruptly and gimultaneously with the appearfince of the pollen. The initial attack is frequently mistaken for a “cold.” Usually, the eyes become bloodshot, itchy, wet and sensitive to light. The nose rejeases a thin, irritationg mucous discharge, while its lining becomes

=| | the throat. There is a general

swollen to the point of obstruc-

tion. Sneezing is often violent. Itching frequently involves the nose, the roof of the mouth and

feeling of lassitude, which is increased when the irritated mucous lining of the nose and nasal sinuses are secondarily infected. Such infection is not infrequent, and often persists after the. hay fever season has passed. About one-third of those who have hay fever also develop asthma a week or two after the onset of the season. The asthma is characterized by wheezing and labored breathing, and when severe is a distressing and incapacitating complication, which also passes with the subsidence of the pollen. Injection Treatment The treatment of an attack of hay fever is unsatisfactory, unless one can eliminate the pollen. Epinephrin, ephedrine and related drugs may give temporary help, but they frequently produce reactions as unpleasant as the hay fever itself. Atropine-sulfate may reduce the nasal discharge, and any physician may prescribe preparations that will minimize the eye symptoms. The best counter-attack begins about 10 weeks before the onset of the season, and consists of a series of graduated injections of an extract of the offending pollen, until sensitivity to the pollen is diminished. Such treatment must be carried out for several years, and although it cannot be said to produce a complete cure, about 80 or 9 per cent of those so treated are vastly improved and able to carry on in relative comfort during the season.

RULE ON HIRING

Mandate for ‘Business Experience’ to Affect 121 Jobholders.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ¢ (U. P).— Changes which will be necessary under the “business experience” mandate for OPA price policy makers were being prepared today for announcement next week. Chester Bowles, newly appointed OPA general manager, revealing the interpretation of the “business experience” clause after its review by the controller general, said 121 positions in OPA would be affected. Major post which in the future will be filled by a person experienced in business is that of deputy administrator in charge of price. Donald H. Wallace, a professor inexperienced in business, is now acting chief of the price division. He succeeded J. Kenneth Galbraith, Princeton economist, whe resigned in May after differences over policy with Lou R. Maxon, former information chief. Other posts affected by the controller general's interpretation of

Sinatra Sings With Symphony

NEW YORK, Aug. ¢ (U. P)— Frank Sinatra, quavering crooner, and the New York PhilharmonicSymphony appeared together last night for the delectation of an audience of 7000, mainly high school girls. The occasion was a foray of the committee sponsoring the Lewisohm stadium summer concerts into popular music in answer to complaints that its programs were too high brow. ‘ Sinatra, idol of adolescent femininity, crooned such numbers as “Dancing in the Dark” to the accompaniment of some 80 instrumentalists and countless girls in the audience were seen burying their faces in rapture on the shoulders of their companions. At the end of it, he made a brief speech of appreciation, referring to the august orchestra as “a band” and to its members as “the boys.” Max Steiner, Hollywood conductor and composer, conducted the orchestra for the occasion.

FARMERS GET HELP IN CUTTING WEEDS

As a result of farmers’ inability to find time to cut weeds along county highways, county commissioners have announced they will make available all of their equipment and manpower during the next few weeks to clear the highways of grass and weeds. Normally, farmers are offered 80

-jcents an hour by the county to cut

weeds but this year, due to the manpower shortage, no farmers will

QUSTER OF REA HEAD RUMORED

Capital Headquarters Has No Comment; Slattery

Leaves Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (U. P).— Administrator Harry Slattery of the rural electrification administration was reported today to have left the capital for St. Louis after an unexplained four-day visit that may have had some connection with rumors that he may be ousted. REA'S Washington information chief, Dixon Merritt, told newsmen, “any statement must come from the White House.” That is the customary statement for an official who thinks he may be “fired.” An association of REA co-opera-tive members, headed by Clyde Ellis, former congressman from Arkansas, has been campaigning for removal of Slattery for several months. The association did not like his blocking of its plan to finance a mutual insurance company with co-operative funds.
