Treasury Pays ST., $40 in Year
For 564 Economy Suggestions

Treasury Department employees
are turning into Idea men,"
During 1948, their imagination
provided more than 5000 devices,
inventions and suggestions to save
money and speed up operations in
the Government. One out of every
10 Treasury employees who got an
idea put 1t on paper and sent it
to the Treasury's Committee on
Employe Awards.
Proposals from 564 persons were
used, for which the Department
paid a total of $13,940 in cash
awards In. addition, 158 received
letters of commentator for helpful
ideas.
Treasury workers in Washington
turned out 1927 suggestions and,
with 1853 winners, led the field over
branches in 80 States, Puerto Rico
and Alaska.

Col. Barnes CHARGES
Lag in Reserve Plan
Threatens Security
By John A. Giles

The Nation is living in a fools
paradise" insofar as organization
of the armed services reserves is
concerned, Col Clarence E. Barnes,
president of the Reserve Officers
Association, declared today.
Almost without exception, every
reserve officer "'' is extremely per-
turbed because of the snail's pace
progress in revitalizing the reserve
program" Col. Barnes said in the
associations official publication.
The officers of this country who
saw so much of the last war are
uniform in their belief that we are
living in a FOOLS paradise; and, un-
less a realistic approach is taken,
and soon, in the utilization of the
citizen soldier in our defense struc-
ture, the security of this country
will be inexcusably precarious.
Order Given Forrestal.
Last October President Truman
took cognizance of the reserves and
ordered Defense Secretary Forrestal
to institute vigorous" programs
within so days for the Army and
Air Force Both services have ap-
pointed high-ranking officers to
direct their programs and the
statement by Col. Barnes was the
first criticism since the issuance of
the order.
AS a result of Mr. Truman's direc-
tive, Mr.. Forrestal also recommend
ed to the President that control of
the Air National Guard be taken
from the States and that its units
be merged with those of the Air
Forse Reserve.
The politically powerful National
Guard Association has attacked the
liberalization proposal and has
promised to fight it in Congress
The defense establishment, however,
shows no signs of backing down on
the move Instead the Air Force
has announced appointment of
board of high-ranking officers to
study problems incident to proposed
consolidation.
LAS preliminary to the drafting
of appropriate legislation for con-
solidation." the announcement
stated, the committee will de-
termine the desired structure of
single Federal reserve component,
as well as size, organization and
training, within the limitations of
manpower, appropriations and in
stallations."
Notes Security Week.
Col. Barnes, calling attention to
National Security Week, beginning
February IL, said the occasion af-
fords an opportunity to call atten-
ton to the tagging reserve pro-
grams.
I'VE must reconcile our planning
to the forces available as of now
and not predicate the potential of
the components on the possibility of
the legislative enactment of uni
versal military training" he de-
clared. I'VE must, therefore, dis
pense for all time with paper
armies and have an immediate al
location of units to the components."
He called for "at least token
equipment" for the reservists and a
decision as to whether the Reserve
is to have an actual mission or be
only a pool of men from which the
regular services might draw.

Public Buildings Administration had
tried such method and that it
had failed.
Another was a sweeping device
of pulleys and wires, propelled by a
motor to encircle the building and
sweep the birds off," But the COM
mittee was told the birds would be-
come accustomed to such a "Rube
Goldberg mechanism" and would
just ride around the building all
day."
The committee did try painting
luminous owls in corners, but they
were accepted as "one of the gang

Here's scientific advice ON ways to turn
winters chief annoyance into a holiday

your army away from the battlefield into
your stomach to tackle that heavy meal.
Don't starve cold, either - you'll leave your
fighters undernourished and weakened. Eat
sensibly, lightly
Two quarts of some kind of liquid day is
good rule if you run a temperature. Drink
hot lemonade if sweating makes you comfort
able. If you prefer cold lemonade. that's
okay too. Too much liquid may make
YOU water-logged and uncomfor table; too
much sugar in drinks spoils your appe-
tite. Otherwise, just be sensible.
Remember. both the cold virus and the
aspirin you probably take are enemies of
Vitamin c. So increase your G through more
lemon, orange. tomato or cabbage. Laxatives?
Skip them. They won't make you well any
quicker.
The blues are the worst part of cold for
me. ;" one woman know said. Mental depres-
sion is a natural result of Infection Just recog-
nize your blues as symptom - like your
nose and throat troubles. Don't decide your
life is a failure. just because germ is using
psychological warfare against you.
My favorite counterattack against cold
blues is a dozen old magazines, in which can
read serials consecutively Or couple of
light novels. with good big print. 1t may

u Until recently. there've been almost as
u many cures for colds banded around
every winter as there were colds. But all that
is changed now-the American Medical Asso-
citation has announced that as of right now,
there just isn't any cure for cold, and no
preventive short of isolation from humanity.
But all isn't lost You don't have to sur
render Internationally to misery. In fact.
now that we know the pest can't be killed, we
can settle down to living with it. Here's how
to do it with a minimum of pain:
Most important step to take is to 60 to bed
- for three good reasons: (D You can have
good time with cold in bed. It's an extra.
and honest vacation. (2) While cold itself
is not serious. it can weaken your defenses
against something worse, if you stay on your
feet Boys who indulge in athletics while they
have colds have higher pneumonia rate.
13) Staying in bed helps prevent spreading
contagion We don't know how long cold is
contagious. Some doctors say the first two
days. Others say throughout the duration
of the cold.
Just Relax
How long does cold last? Seven days if
you treat it yourself a week if you have
DOCTOR" facetious physician told me. In
other words. if you catch one. just relax and
settle down with it.
How does cold get cured finally? It's all
done by the same tiny fighters in your blood
which combat other diseases For that reason,
don't stuff a cold You'll be calling part of

Bring in your best bridge or floor lamp. Some
hygienists scream against any reading in bed.
read, but insist on good light.
Move the radio into the bedroom. or put
stack of platters on the phonograph. Or write
notes to friends. Exactly what you do doesn't
matter too much; just spot the blues as enemy
propaganda and fight back.
No Sleeping Pills
lNsONiNIA's apt to trouble you for several
reasons. Headache from your cold? Aspirin
will help. Too much liquid near bedtime2
Drink it early. Mapping all day? Stay awake
after pm. Overdosing with inhalants or
ephedrine nose drops? Stop them after
pm.
No, no, but definitely no on sleeping pills,
unless your doctor presuibes them for some
special reason. Believe me, they can be
dangerous.
So much for the general treatment; as for
details, let's take them up one at time. A
cold often starts with sore throat You can
paint it if you insist, but DR.. Hobart A.
Reimann says painting with antiseptic makes
no sense at ALL" A simple way to make your
throat feel better is to heat couple of damp

washcloths in the top of double boiler, apply
for 20 minutes, every three hours. Or just
gargle with warm water.
Nose running? Keep warm in bed have
good supply of soft paper handkerchiefs on
hand, put zinc oxide outside your nose and
lip to keep the skin from getting raw. A doc
tor in hospital once gave me good tip. If
you have a streaming nose, without fever,
and feel you just have to 60 out. see your
doctor. The stuff he can give you is too
potent for me to name, but it will dry you up.
OF course it will also make your mouth so
sawdust- dry shrimp cocktail will taste like
sandpaper, as well remember from dinner
party went to. And the drying effect will
last only four hours.
For sneezing, keep warm. The difference
between putting your arms outside the covers
and keeping them inside may affect your
sneeze quotient. And screen your ka-choos
with a soft paper handkerchief.
WHEN blowing, do it gently, or you may
force infection into sinuses and ear canals.
Today, water solutions of nose drops are more
highly regarded than oil. Some oil pneu-
monias have occurred from incorrect use of
oily drops. If inhalants and nose drops help
you and don't affect your heart, you may use
them every three to four hours. A few menthol
crystals tossed on top of boiling water will
open your stuffy nose temporarily.
My own favorite in this line is an
electric heat pad, placed over nose and
sinuses, because it's easiest. In any case,
as we said before - keep warm!
Do you get an earache with your cold?
Two major causes are likely to be culprits:
the less dangerous is the pain caused by
plugging of the canal which leads from the
back of the throat. Perhaps nose drops or
inhalation will unplug this and stop the pain
The more dangerous is Inflammation in the
ear, which is usually accompanied by fever.
Don't fool with this one If aspirin and mild
heat don't cure an earache in few hours,
call the doctor.
Coughs? Again, keep warm. maybe you
are beginning to figure that keeping warm in
bed is the chief news about colds. 1t isl Try
wearing jacket or dressing gown backside front
to keep your chest covered. Keep windows
shut and the furnace running on chilly nights.

SondIot Umpire's Idea Pays Off
$500 for His Prize SNAPSHOT

AS sandlot umpire, Henry
Glchner had seen it happen often
down on the ElIipse. The batter
would foul off a pitch. and the
ball would soar back to the road
and over the White House fence.
Then the game would be halted
while the players got a policeman
to help them retrieve the ball.
He'd even seen youngsters
climb the fence to get the ball.
Why, he thought to himself
many time, doesn't somebody
get a picture of that?
One day he himself took the
picture, and yesterday it paid off
to the pleasant tune of $500.
Mr.. Gichner, who lives at 6l15
Thirty third street NV, won one
of the four top prizes in the
National Newspaper Snapshot
Awards with his shot of a young
player reaching through the
White House fence to recover a
ball. His picture took top prize
in the Young People and Adults
Class, having previously won the
grand prize in the same class in
The Stars Amateur Snapshot
Contest. The judging yesterday
took place in Explorers Hall of
the National Geographic Society,
Sixteenth and M streets NV.
Success also came to the three
other local entrants in the ma
tional contest and recent winners
