A striking example Of the anal
ysis Of a heterogeneous mass OF
sound that can be effected by an
imperfect or abnormal ear may be
found by riding in a noisy automo-

often distinguishes certain sounds
that stand out clearly for him, al
though they are unnoticed by his
companions who possess normal
hearing. Mr.. Edison's well-known
ability 10 detect misrelated sounds

There is a practical advantage
which the partially deaf man pos

character that il is often regarded
with incredibly. l mean his ability
TO make way through a hubbub of

greater personal safety than is en-

lNHUMAN HUN SPIRIT
FURTHER SHOWN IN PLAN
TO STRIP DEAD BODIES
nternational News Service:

international News Service:
LONDON, June 1.-THE cold
blooded, matter of-fact way in
which il is proposed TO strip the
dead of their graveclothes is as
toundingly illustrated by an article
in the Elberfeld Freie Presse, which
is worded as follows:
Not only have the living a duty TO
the fatherland, but also the dead.
The duty of the dead is TO be buried
without clothes. II has often been
noticed that the dead are being
buried. not only with clothes, but
with underclothes, and even shoes
and stockings.
This is a beautiful custom, no
doubt, but it is impossible in war
time. The paramount necessity to-
day 10 stretch our stocks Of wooden
goods makes it imperative that we
should abandon this custom.
Everything depends today on our
utilization Of every possible piece Of
clothing. and only the softhearted-
ness of our authorities and tender
ness and susceptibilities Of the peo-
pie have 50 far prevented the COM
pulsory stripping of the dead be-
fore interment
\ hint, however, has now been
given 10 all the authorities connect
ed with burials TO put a stop TO
this practice and TO confscate all
unnecessary clothing.
If the dead cannot be buried
naked, why not give them paper
clothes? Our paper industry is far
enough advanced today 70 enable
US 10 give the dead worthy and even
beautiful clothing
II is now the duty Of the govern
ment 10 promulgate the decision
that only those who succumb to
contagious diseases shall be buried
in their linen. Otherwise, this linen
and all other clothing and under
clothing must belon. 20 the COM
mUnity
Victory depends on such little
things as these.

Mcdonnell is now at his home in Buffalo

Sergeant Mcdonnell is a member Of
the LIST aero squadron Of the LIST marine
corps aviation force and he served in
the overseas air service for four months,
flying over the cities of Ostend and Zee
brugge in Belgium when those places
were occupied by the Germans, but not
being engaged in any air battles because
he was using a slowgoing deHaviland
bombing airplane, the sort which is not
used in conflict.
After the armistice was signed, Ser
geant Mcdonnell says, the American air
men made flights over the enemy lines
and on Nov. II he and an American pilot
