EAR TROUBLES
HARASS AIRMEN,
EXPERT REPORTS

DR.. castex Of Paris has investi-
gated the ear disturbances OF avla-
tors and reported his findings to the
Societe de Medicine de Paris. A
translation OF a part OF his paper
and OF the discussion which followed
appears in the current issue OF The
Medical Record. 1t reads in part:
He has had unusual opportunities
for the examination OF ayiators at the
vfllemin Military Hospital From the
outset OF the war the airmen pre-
scented sufficient anomalies of this
character to bring about a system
attic Investigation with especial re-
gard to prophylaNis. The subjective
sensations on ascending and descend
ing were recorded. At the very
start air could be felt in the ears.
and at about l 500 meters the latter
felt as II completely oceluded. II
now the mouth was opened there was
a sensation OF q valve opening
in the bottom OF the ear. The nose
became insufficient for respiration,
and the majority Of aviators were
compelled to open their mouths.
Regains Normal POise.
nnCu the INV
meters the aviator appeared to have
regained his normal poise. partly be-
cause at this height there Is no lonEar
any wind In the descent the same
phenomena occur with increased in
tensity. In some cases the aviator
no longer hears his motor. By max
ing an effort to close the nostrils and
mouth every 200 or 800 meters, or
merely yawninE. the aviator avoids
certain burdensome sensations. such
as heaviness OF the head and con-
strietIon or swelling OF the fauces
tthroat). After landing one still
hears the motor for a variable period,
Sometimes the heavy feeling in the
head, ringing in the ears, and even
sutophony may persist for four or
five minutes. Vertigo Is uncommon.
Some aviators were made temporarily
deaf.
Complained of Ears.
"a sublieutenant who complained
OF his ears after landing showed con-
gestion OF both membranes, which had
led In one locality to a small ecchy-
mosis, Chemorrhage under the skin.l
1t was remarked that the higher the
flight the more severe were the symp-
toms. Thus one man had flown at
low heights for years without expert
encing any auditory troubles. Upon
flying 1900 meters high the latter at
once supervened. In aviators with old
GEAR trouble the symptoms are aggra
waited. The ears may bleed in the
first case, and with sclerosis (harden-
ing due to infammAtionl the subjec-
tive landing. sounds persist for a
long time. In q few instances the
condition becomes permanent and
flying must be abandoned. These
phenomena may be aggravated when
extra effort 10 required. Thus aviG-
tors who have been free from ear
troubles in single motor machines
have begun TO complain as soon as
transferred TO me with q double
motor"

"skIDDINos TEST FOR
 AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
May be Given Future Applicants for
 Iicenee1.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 16.-That in the future applicants for automobile drivers licenses must pass a skid ding" test is predicted in a notice is- sued today from the office of Robbins R. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles. In his notice the commis- s;oner points out that a large per- centage of serious accidents are dae to "slkidding" and says that investi- gation has led to the conclusion that the skid is caused where chains are not used and such cases very largely predcminate, by lack of proper driv- ing knowledge.
 It is common. he says, to find driv- CTS, otherwise competent, whose only, idea of proceeding down a wet and slippery hill is to coast with clutch cut and the speed governed by use of the footbrake. This, he pointed out, make the rear wheels in effect run clines. where wet. a skid is sure to result.
 To prevent this sliding, he recom- mends keeping the wheels turning by having the engine coupled in gear. To keep proper speed he urges drivers to turn off ignition and use compression and footbrake.
 The commissioner has reached the conclusion that the emergency or hand brake, is not frequently enough used as determined from the record of col ljsions coming before him. Only one possible reason : for this presents it. self, he says. namely this brake is so rarely used for purpose of control that when an emergency confronts a driver he fails to use it.

of supplies from other countries, were found to be the most n1oderniy equip ped and efficient factories of their kind in the world. The experience of the other allies. according to his ac- count. has been drawn on in full measure and the lessons learned had been taken advantage of to such a notable extent that the examining gen erals were surprised at what they found.
 The new plants include a great air plane factory now nearing scompleti >p Q large machine gun factory alreauy working to full capacity, and artillery factories at various places. A further encouraging feature noted by the vis- itor was that all the factories where the electrical and mechanical side pre- dominates over purely manual labor, the capacity and output have diminish ed only negligibly. despite the anarchic conditions prevailing throughout the country.
 The capacity of the new Murman railway, it appears, has been greatly increased, but there is still a sad shortage of rolling stock. This will be somewhat alleviated by transfers from the ArchaEgel line when that port becomes icebound.

Articles Which May Now Be Exported
 Without Government License.

The removal of the export embargo
 from long list of articles if sent to
 countries other than the European
 neutrals and central powers, will per
 init the exportation without license of
 approximately s7O0,OOO,000 worth of
 merchandise per annun An analysis
 by The National City Bank of New
 York of the list of articles from which
 the ban is thus removed indicates that
 Shey aggregate approximately $780,
 G00.000 in value in the exports of the
 5 per cent of them went to the Euro
 pean countries to which their expor-
 tation is still restricted
 The official announcement by the exports administrative board of the
 merchandise which may be exported
 without license if sent to countries other than Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Central Powers enunerates about 500 articles which are thus freed from tie general embargo. No exact fig 0reS as to the aggregate export value of these 500 articles can be- made by reason of the fact that many of them are not named in the governments published figures Of exportaticn, but com pilation of the Value of all articles in this list of which the export values are officially stated brings this known tCtal for the fiscal year 1917 to over $lOO, O,00O,0O0 while it is probable that the hundreds of articles enumerated by the board but not named in the governments published reports will easily bring the total to s75O,00O, ,OC0 and that fully S700,00O,O0O went to countries other than those to which the exportation is still prohibited.
 The more important of the articles which the exports administrative board has thus removed from the general embargo, includes automobiles, steel bars, steel rails, locomotives, railway rars, wire, nails. iron pipe. sheets ard plates under 1-8 inch thickness, type. writers, sewing machines and many | other manufactures of iron and steei; | also agricultural implements, paper, | oaraff1n, tobacco, vegetables dried | md canned fruits, cereal preparations 1 CT table food, toys, hoks. and nu- nerous other articles.

FAvoRARtE REPORTS FROM
 SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTS
Zeal Shown by Men Has Aroused the
 Enthusiasm of the Officers.

Washington, Oct 16-Men of the national army are developing spirit that augurs Well for the future of the force, formal reports reaching the war department from several cantonments show. The young soldiers are throw-. ing themselves into the work with q zeal that has aroused the enthusiasm Of their officers.
 Especially gratifying to officials are reports from Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, and Camp Grant, Rockford, H., and in order to learn the spirit of the men at all training camps, the depart ment decided today to call upon di- visional commanders for reports.
 At Camp Devens the company off, cers report. many instances where the men come in from eight hours of in tensive training, still eager for work. Instead of seeking rest. in their quar- ters, the new soldiers turn out into the company streets and continue practicing what they have just learn ed.
 They are eager to fit themselves physically for the great task ahead of them, the officers report, and a spirit O. loyalty to their companies or their regiments is rapidly developing
 War department officials expect that complete official reports will set at rest forever any doubts as to the de- sire for real service of the great mass Of the men in the national army. Diff ficulty is being found in inducing men especially fitted by previous training. TOT a particular part or the work De- hind the lines to forego their places with the fighting units. Time after time mechanics have answered such calls with the statement that they wanted to remain with their compan- ies and go into the trenches.
 The war department up to this time has filled service companies and bat taHons with volunteers as far as pos sible. That practice probably will be continued and men will be ordered out of the fighting units and into the vii tally necessary transport and supply line batta1ions only if enough vol unteers for the work cannot be se- cured.
