This and That
By Charles E. TraceDeH.

Wasps can give stable. itchy stings that
need instant attention
Every home gardener must be on the watch
out for them.
They are not pugnacous, exactly, but they
carry ready sting, and are not in the least
loath to use 1t.
Templeton Jones' while basking in the sun
leg.
Before he could get 1t out it had stung him
four times.
Mostly gardeners need not fear such inquisi-
tiveness, but they might as we'll realize that
wasps, including hornets and yellow jackets
pack an itchy sting.
The quicker remedial action is taken the
better.
The first thing to do is to look for the stinger
with magnifying glass.
If 1t can be seen, get pair Of tweezers, and
try to pull 1t out.
If 1t will not come do not bother with 1t, but
food the location with ammonia.
Any alkaline solution, such as baking soda
will do.
Dry. and apply an antiseptic.
Usually this quick treatment, If given at
once will do much to take away the subsequent
itching
After these measures, calomne lotion may
be used to spread over and let dry.
Ordinary swelling need not worry one, but
any undue itching and especially pain should
make one put in a call for the doctor.
On an average, these bites will swell up to
as much as an inch or more In diameter, and
upward at least quarter of an inch.
The severity of the sting depends upon the
condition of the patient, and whether any
germs on the skin-or on the stinger-are
carried into the wound.
In the latter case, excessive swelling and
pain will be sufficient notification.
Excess itching, however. is not out OF the
ordinary This depends upon the allergy Of
the person to such bites.
Bee venom is even used today in medicine.
1t is potent substance, and when 1t gets
an informal injection into the skin, as in wasp
or bee sting, 1t can cause trouble.
At the least 1t causes severe itching.
This itching Is worst toward evening.
Persons who are not much troubled by in
sect bites and stings can have no real idea of
the pain and worry caused their more sensitive
fellows.
Even stomach sickness may come from such
itching. This itching is felt not only in and
around the sting, but by sympathy transfers
| itself to the alimentary tract
| Hot water dabbed on rapidly sometimes will
| ease such itching. but great care must be taken
| not to burn ones self.
The washcloth must be wrung out, until
| free of drip, and the cloth dabbed rapidly
staccato fashion on the bite.
| A burn is worse than the bite, so great care
Is necessary, If using this way of stopping the
| itching, to prevent blister. r.
| Fortunately, wasps and others make their
presence known, usually, before they sting,
| so the gardener should be on the lookout.
They are best treated with consideration; a
sudden slap. while 1t may get them, will not
| prevent that last sting.
| Cajolery, perhaps, of the milder sort. will be
best Ease away from the wasp. or shoe q
handkerchief at him. Do not try to kill him
| There Is no reason for this. and he Is less
| likely to sting when treated humanely.

Of the parley they would not have ap-

Crowd Blamed for Prestige Loss

To the Editor OF The Star:
With reference to the investigation Of the
Howard Hughes contracts Gould Lincoln says:
1.-The entire episode has been detrimental to
the prestige Of the Senate committee" But,
1t seems impossible that this committee should
be shorn Of its prestige without anybody sub
stantiating the charge of Mr.. Hughes against
the able statesman, Senator Brewster.
There were rumors Of threats to the Senator

Mr.. Green's ChuIIenqe

1t is not likely that the Republicans will
pay a great deal of attention to the
challenge" from AFL President William
Green to pick Senator Taft as their presi-
Dental candidate.
Mr. Green told labor audience, in San
Francisco that If Senator Taft were
nominated he would suffer the worst de-
feat ever handed to any candidate of
major party for the presidency of the
United States" Further, he said that he
had no hesitancy in predicting that for
every labor vote Senator Taft would re-
ceive, "at least 100000 labor votes would
be cast against him"
The main trouble with this kind of
excited talk is that Mr. Green tends to
cancel himself out If what he says were
to be taken literally it would add up to
nothing.
A little more than year ago, for in
stance, he was up in arms against Presi
dent Truman. That was at the time of
bill to draft workers in the railroad
strike, which Senator Taft, incidentally,
did not support. Mr.. Green denounced
this Truman proposal as an example of
oldNC ldOOl WILL ldoCkSlll dllu FOWCu blldb
the AFL would resist to the last breath"
Much the same thing was said by another
labor leader-A F. Whitney of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen-who pro-
claimed that President Truman had
signed his political death warrant" and
who also announced that his union would
spend millions to defeat the President in
1948. BY this time, however, Mr.. Whitney
has moved over into the Truman camp,
and 1t is a reasonably safe prediction that
by next year Mr.. Green will be there with
him.
All Of which adds up to the conclusion
that the extravagant statements of labor
leaders are not to be taken very seriously.
They are intended, first, to whip up the
rank and file. Beyond that, they simply
mean that the labor bosses are going to
do what they can to support the political
candidates who are most acceptable to
them. They have always done that, but
they have never been able to deliver the
so-called labor vote by margin of 100000
to one, and they will not be able to do 1t.
or anything like it, in 1948.

TRUMAN 10 OPPOSE ANY
 BUDGET CUT
President Serves Notice He Will Have Plenty to
 Say fo Congress

WSHINGTON, Feb. 21. R- As the House set itself to chop S6.- 000,000000 off the Administration budget, President Truman served notice that he will have plenty to say if that is the final Congression- al verdict.
 Mir Truman told reporters. firing questions at a news conference, that he did not want to comment now but would give his views in no uncertain terms when the time comes. That time, he added, will be when the matter reaches his desk.
 MT. Truman has declared in the past that his S37 100000 budget is rock-botom for safe operations by the government.
 The President also told the re- porters he is not convinced that OPA will have to die.
 fThe House has voted to recall S9,000,000 of earlier appropriations for OPA and officials of the agency say this would virtually kill it. The Senate has not yet approved the recall and, if it does, MT. Truman could veto the measure if he wish ed If vetoed, it would become ef- fective only if approved by two- thirds vote in both House and Senate).
 ''Is there any way OPA can be kept in operation if Cong ess with draws it's funds" one news man asked
 The President replied he would cross that bridge when he got to it.
