BY DIR. L. X. HIRsHBERG.

The reason you have two ears
really six ears in a pair of threes--
lie because the world has many mes
sases for you. Two ears are few
enough for you to hear them all
you could not hear much IL you only
had one.
the reduplication of structures dou-
bles all the powers of each organ.
You are able to listen to two things
at once, such as a question and the
ringing of the telephone. and after
ward remember both, though at the
time you were able only to pay at
tention to one.
Two Ears Give Direction.
Similarly two ears are aids to the
semi-circular canals In telling the
direction from which sounds come.
You may prove this for yourself by
putting your hand behind one ear and
in front OF the other. When both of
your hands are behind your ears they
help you TO listen as we'll as to test
the direction OF the sound.
Deafness, you may recall. is often
traceable to disorders behind the
drum in the middle compartment of
the triplicate ear. Yet the small
canal which leads from the outer air
to the drum is often the seat OF aural
affections. Small peas, shoe buttons
or beans inserted in the. outer ear,
violent Swinging of this passageway,
poking ear cleaners. hairpins, and
the ends Of towels in the ear may
start such mischief. Even the &C
cumulation of hardened secretions of
wax forced back against the drum
by attempts "to clean the ear" may
produce signs of deafness.
Care When Bathing.
Perforation, breaks by noises of an
explosive nature or injuries by ''home
instruments" sudden dives and
plunges into water have had much
deafness laid at their doors. Indeed
where the ear drum has been perfor-
ated or damaged a sudden plunge or
swim may admit brine into the mid
die ear and even cause a fatality in
extreme instances. While absorbent
cotton Is not adVisably worn in the
ear. it is necessary for swimmers and
bathers with holes in their ear drums
to use as a protection.
Neglected colds" in the head. espe-
cially in children, where the distance
between the ear and throat is much
shorter than in adults, ''stuffed-up
nose" large tonsils and adenoids, are
all sources OF deafness.
Connection with Mouth.
The connection of the mouth. the
dental machinery, and the nerves with
the ear is also shown by a shrill
sound called setting the teeth on
edge" heard when a slate pencil
screeches On a slate. or when train
brakes are applied hard.
1t is clear as the way to the par
ish church that such maladies as
grip, sore throat, scarlatina, measles.
colds" swift plunges, explosions and
loud noises must always be kept in
mind as possible causes OF ear trou-
bles, which may lead to deafness.
Running of the ears" means that
the mother or guardian OF the child
has relied too much on some one who
is not an ear specialist-they waited
too long. There is no excuse nova
DAYS for running ears.

by Franz Lehar, who wrote THE

cast includes Harry Conor, Forrest

Weeks, Elizabeth Goodall. Miriam
Folger, Robinson Newbold, Harold
Everts, and eighty others.
The music and comedy are by no
means the chief features of the musi-
cal gem, "Alone At Last" for there is
one scene which shows the ascension of
the famous mountain, the Jungfrau.
To operate this scene requires start
ing at the foot OF the mountain and
marching TO the very top, where the
two lovers are caught in a storm
and compelled to spend the night
alone; hence the title.

Oil From Fruit Stone Kernels.

Germany is preparing to take steps
toward relieving her shortage of oils
and fats by extracting an oil from the
kernels of fruit stones, such as the
pits of the plumb and the cherry, both
of which grow freely there. The pits
ar boiled in calcium chloride solu-
ton, which separates the kernel from
its shell. The oil is expressed from
the kernel. The chief difficulty lies in
the fact that the kernels OF such fruits,
especially the peach, contain minute
quantities Of hydrocyanic acid, some
times called oil of bitter almonds
This Is extremely poisonous, but spe-
cial methods have resulted In its pres
ence being reduced to n mere negli-

Racing Bill Pigeonholed.

The house had a lively time over
Rep. Arthur Woods bill to prevent
the publication of entries and results
of horse races. Rep. Wood passed the
lie to Rep. Ari Woodruff when the
latter said Wood had said that he
would get his picture on the first
page of the papers if this bill passed.
Wood declared that his bill was aimed
at handbook betting in cities, but
Rep. Toepel declared that it's only eff
feet would be to keep Michigan pa
pers from printing entries and re-
suits of races, while outside papers
containing them could come in. The
bill was practically killed by being re-
ferred TO the judiciary committee.
Many of the members were fearful
that the bill, by specific exemption OF
trotting races from it's scope, was
giving official recognition to the rae

They also would be inspected every

Whether Michigan shall be bone

This unlocked for decision was

decide for themselves whether the
state is to be bone dry or moist.
Whether a majority of the people
of Michigan voted last November

means of importation, or whether they
voted for the absolute death of liquor
has been an issue in the legislature
since the assembly of that body. The
subject has been discussed almost
continuously and the claims have been
sharply defined. Petitions from sup
porters of both sides signed by thou
sands Of petitioners, have been re-
ceived almost daily. Members have
had piles of letters on the subject.
Churches and church organizations,
ministers and dry workers and lead

both sides. The result has been that
instead Of throwing light on the peo-
pies attitude, the agitation has mere

The defeat of bone dry" constitu-

This will continue in force. If a bone
dry amendment is passed by the peo-
