Other Suggestions

A patient who has had a gall
bladder operation, and year
afterward has a recurrence of the
same symptoms, doesn't need a
wearisome x-ray denomination
0f his gallbladder. The story is
proof positive that even If his
gallbladder was diseased, that
wasn't the cause of the trouble.
Food allergy is another condi-
ton which the patient frequently
diagnoses on himself in these days
when the laymen discuss the new
fads in medicine just as much as
the doctors. To prove a case of
food allergy, however, takes an
enormous amount of time with
skin tests and elimination diets.
Instead Of that, why not have the
patient go without food entirely
for AZ hours? II this does not re-
lieve the Indigestion, flatulence,
headache, stuffy nose, there is lit
tie chance any kind of a diet will
be found to do so. II the patient
says he couldn't bear 10 fast 40
hours then his troubles really
don't bother him very much.

Tests May Cause Mistakes


Lots Of times the laboratory or
the x-ray reveals something the
patient certainly has, but 1t is evil
cent from the story that that is
not causing the trouble. Blind &C
ceptance Of laboratory informa-
tion may lead to mistakes.
Here is a small, nervous wom-
an, who the laboratory says has a
metabolism rate of minus IS. That
means she ought to have thyroid
extract and she gets it, and i'm
mediately gets worse and more
nervous. Well. anyone can see by
looking at her that she is not de-
ficient in thyroid: She is small,
wiry, nervous, mentally alert.
Something else is the trouble no
matter what the laboratory said.
Then there is the common Case
OF the individual who has con-
tinuous fever of 99la. There have
been thousands Of blood examina-
lions and everything else without
revealing anything. Well, the fact
is that for a lot of nervous, high
strung people a temperature of
99ia is perfectly normal. Treat
tie man, not his fever.

Service Reports

Total employment in all executive
departments of the Federal Govern
ment decreased during July for the
first time in several years l 300 en-
ployes being dropped in the WASH

being slashed from payrolls in field

Commission announced today in a

at the end of June. The report did
not SHOW the distribution as between
washington and the field, but en-
plcvment here totals around 279.O00
Sizable decreases in civilian en-
ployment were reported by the War
Department and the War Man.
power Commission. The bulk of
War Department reduction occurred
in the field service; curtailment of
activities of the National Youth Ad-
mlnlstra ton accounted for the de-
crease in VINO employment. Other
substantial decreases were reported
by the Agriculture, Interior and
Commerce Departments.
Offsetting these reductions. the
commission pointed out, were fairly
substantial increases in the Navy
and Treasury Departments.
The number of full-time women
employees increased $4,000 during
July. The bulk of this gain occurred
in the War and Navy Departments.
A total of 963509 women was en-
ployed by Uncle Sam in the CONT
mental United States at the end of
July. constituting 36 per cent of
full-time employment. Approx
mately 10 per cent of all women en-
ployes work in the War and Navy
Departments.
The rate of turnover in Federal
civilian employment, it was empha-
sized, was much higher in July than
in preceding months. The separa-
ton rate for full-time employment
was 7 per cent, compared with So
per cent in June. The increase of
turnover rate is attributable entirely
to increased separations outside of

paper is daily becoming more
critical

First collections in the program
started today in district l with en-
couraging results, especially in view
of the fact that announcement of
the program was not made until
Thursday evening, leaving only a
single school day for organization
in the schools in today's schedules.
The need for waste paper is so
pressing that The Star-P-TA plan
has special Importance. School
children demonstrated in the pre-
vious campaign, which is now re-
opened, that they could produce a
carload of paper day, thus making
it possible to start paper collected
during the day on its way toward
the mill in the late afternoon OF
during the night.

One collection was traced last year
and it was found that on that occa-
sion paper collected at the Barnard

factured into boxboard by II am

Schools desiring to be included
in the program should call or write
the Salvage Editor of The Evening
Star and the school will be in
cluded in the schedules.
Among those from which paper Is
to be collected tomorrow are Garri-
son, which last year finished second
among all schools in the city, and
Grimke. which finished fifth.
Bought Movie Protector.
Garrison was able through funds
realized from the drive and sale of
paper last year to buy second mov-
ing picture protector for the school
and to send eight children in poor
health away to camp for the sum-
mer. All of the schools have similar
activities which are financed by the
sale of paper through The STAR
PTA program, either purchasing
equipment or providing for lunch
and milk for children who may
need that help.
Over the week end three other
schools joined the program and
many others signified their inten-
ton of participating after a meet
ing of PTA executive committees to
confirm the decision Alice Deal
Junior High School, Blair Hayes
and Langdon added their names to
the list of those seeking to help in
the present serious emergency. Col
lections at Langdon. however, will
not be made until next week.
1t is emphasized that if the pu-
pills at the various schools did no
more than bring two or three copies
of the papers received in their home
each week the total weight would
be considerable, while a little added
effort by each pupil would result
in the large totals registered by
some of the schools last year.
