Armored Replacement Training
Center soldiers who have been
taking atabrine for three months
in what the Armored Medical Re-
search Laboratory here believes is
one OF the largest controlled tests
yet made with the preventative.
The purpose of this study, carried
out for the Office of the surgeon
general, is to determine the mini
mum dose which will provide 100
per cent protection for all, despite
individual reactions.
BY the closing weeks of the test
most of the soldiers had turned a
yellow hue from the dying properties
of atabrine, but none suffered i'll
effect. They regard the temporary
coloring as sort of service stripe"
In addition to this contribution
the soldiers carry on a full schedule
of training activities.
Atabrine, according to members
of the research laboratory staff. is
more than a mere substitute for
quinine. 1t does not produce the
harmful effects, including deafness
that occasionally accompany the
continued use of Quinine.

We had to have another glass of
wine before either of them would
consider listening to our business.
Cumbo finally took us around to
the back of the building to the
warehouse and told us to point out
to him what we wanted. "It is a
very poor day." he said. "The
farmers bring the vegetables in to
us, but lately there has not been

In the warehouse were plenty of
lemons, melons, grapes, almonds.

Col. Gardner Wins
|teqion Of Merit Award

AUSTRALIA.-Col Herbert A.
Gardner, whose wife lives at BITS
Twenty first street north, Airing
ton, Va, has been awarded the
Legion Of Merit for exceptionally
lmeritorious" conduct in the per-
.formance of outstanding services in
Australia.
AS chief of the procurement divi-
sion in the office of the Chief Quar-
termaster of United States Army
Forces in Australia from February
to June, 1912, and of United States
Army Services of Supply from Oc-
tober, 1912, to September, 1943, Col.
Gardner was faced with the diff
cult and important task of pro-
curing supplies for the Army in
foreign territory.
At first, the debarkation of large
numbers of American troops in the
Southwest Pacific area before a
complete supply system had been
developed, and the necessity for
conserving shipping space, called for
the immediate purchase of large
quantities of clothing and equipage
Under Col. Gardner's able super
vision, it was said in his citation
this was efficiently accomplished
and an uninterrupted flow of sup
plies was maintained. His broad
technical knowledge, foresight, tire
less energy and cordial relations
with Australian officials and manu-
facturers greatly facilitated the
United States Army procurement
program in the Southwest Pacific
area"
Col. Gardner served as cap
tain in the last war, at which time
he was in France 18 months. A
native of Indiana, he attended Pur-
due University, and subsequently
has remained in the Army. He left
for the Suothwest Pacific in Janu-
ary 1870

blame it all on the nonchalant way
they do business in Palermo.
A number of landing craft op-
Grated by Coast Guard personnel
put into Palermo a few days, after
the original beaching at Salerno,
Italy, and it was decided that fresh
vegetables were just what all con-
cerned needed. I was sent to do the
business.
The system is not hard to under

ing to use it. In Palermo such ships
as ours could 90 to a local whole
saler, buy whatever they had in
fresh fruits and vegetables and have
the wholesaler send the bill to the
