There Is only one way 70 cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal deafness Is
caused by an inAamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is infamed you have
q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it Is entirely closed
deafness Is the result. Unless the in
fiammation can be reduced and this
tube restored 70 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an inhamed c0ndi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces. Halls

when the occasion seems to require 1t

At first he didn't Eventually a
change occurred. A doughboy can be
crowded just so far, but no farther.
There came a day when three jap

doughboy into the gutter. There was
a slight disturbance, confused noise
and a cloud of dust. When the dust
cleared away three brown men were
sitting in the middle of the road, won

Jap Soldiers Made Mistake Of Pushing

1t may have been plain ignorance that
led the Japanese enlisted men in Vlad-

altering their bent kneed, drag footed

their desire to show their knowledge
that a Japanese general was the rank

there were seven times as many Jap

Americans. 1t may have been a desire
to impress on their Allies that they
were as good as anyone if not a trifle
better. Whatever, it was the deliber-
ateness of Japanese nonsaluting was
very noticeable.
1t may as well be admitted frankly
that the Americans did not get along
with the Japanese in Siberia. Nor
did the British get along we'll with
them. There was constant friction be-
tween the Japanese and Americans
not official friction: for officially the
Japanese are as polite and as ceremon-

possible for anybody to be. The fric-

from what has happened in number

in the long run, stand to gain rather

A Dog That knew.-In an issue Of
Our Dogs, of over 90 years ago, there
is to be found an interesting story Of
a dog from Lisbon, Portugal, He was
a Newfoundland, very wise and we'll
trained animal, and his master had
occasion to spend some weeks in a
London hotel. One of the porters in
the hotel struck at the dog, who was
quietly waiting for his master. The
dog appeared not to take offense at
the wholly tncalled-for act; but the
next morning, when the porter was
polishing off the brass plate on the
door, bending over at his work, the
huge dog went up back of him and,
with heavy blow with his great paw,
he knocked the man over. Then he
trotted off with dignifed gait, pay
ing no more attention to the man..
Some of the days, during his stay in
England, the weather was stormy and,
whenever his paws would be muddy,
he would walk very quietly up and
down the stairs and along the halls,
but when they were dry he would make
as much noise as any lad, running up
and down.
In the courtyard, at the rear Of the
hotel, was a well with a pump. One
day the dog, being very thirsty, went
out and sat by the well, but no one
gave him a drink, though he looked
longingly at the men as they came and
went Finally. he was seen to go into
the outer kitchen, and there he spied
an empty pail. He took this in his
mouth. took it out to the pump, and
then began to bark. One of the men
came and saw at once, Of course, what
the dog wanted. After he had drunk
all the water he wished, he knocked
the pail over with his paw, emptied
the remaining water in it, and then,
soberly carrying it back into the kitch-
en-. set it down where he had found it.

water from the engine tank, which was
generously mixed with gasoline, oil
and rust"
Lieutenant Lavender was sure that
the plane drifted about thirty miles an
hour and that the whole rough journey
from where they dropped into the sea
to the harbor Of Ponta Delgada, ap-
proximately 203 miles, was made at
about the same speed, and tail first.
He touched lightly on the physical
condition Of himself and his compan-
ions when at last they were safe and
merely remarked that all stood up very
we'll under the strain.
When the big plane was entering
Ponta Delgada harbor a motor boat
was running toward her to tow her in.
A huge Sea threw the plane and the
motor boat together. 1t was feared
that the NC-3 would sink. Lieutenant
Lavender, spent physically and mem
tally, .sprang out on the broken wing
Of the plane and was staggering along
It's Saneven surface when Commander
Towers saw that he was close to the
whirling blades of the boats propel-
ler. He shouted and tried to follow
Lieutenant Lavender but soon the
plane rightcd, drew away from the
motor boat and the danger was pass
ed. All of the men were dazed and
SO spent that they were not capable
of moving about without great effort.
Only One Man Ssasiek.
Lieutenant Lavender stated that he
was sure that the route laid down was
the very best and that It would become
the standard enroute until the time
should come when the planes would be
able to carry sufficient fuel to make the
trip to Europe without a stop.
"our fuel capacity now" he said, "is
1850 gallons of gasoline and half a
ton Of oil, but I think that 1t will not
be long before this capacity will be In
creased so as to make possible the
longest fight that the minds of men
have yet conceived for flying ma
chine"
He was Jchary about expressing an
opinion as to the usefulness Of the
flying machine, but when he was ask
ed the direct question as to its value
In war he replied:
"The seaplane as 1t stands now is
capable of flying far out on the ocean
and of carrying enough explosives to
drop upon and ito destroy any enemy
fleet moving upon us. Commercially
It's value may not be great. The pres
ent machines cost about 100000 each
to build and equip, but when the parts
are standardized the cost will be much
Tess. The NC-4 got over, and that
proves we can travel the distance laid
down. The NC-3 didn't get. over, but
1t it-proves that our planes can live in
water for an indefinite, period Of time
and that it is therefore the safest Of
all the present types.

with one exception, and he was sea-
sick. guess we'll keep that sailors

Anniversary Of III. First st.am.hip

VOYAGE Across AtIantic.-"It is re-
markable coincidence" said o. P. Aus
tin, statistician Of the National City,
Bank, and secretary Of the National
Geographical Society, "that this first
voyage across the ocean occurs at
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
first transatlantic voyage by steam
vessel. It was on May Is. 1919, that
the little steamship, Savannah, built
in the United States and commanded
by an A nerican. left the port Of sa-
vannah for the shores Of Europe, ar
irving In Liverpool June 90, having
thus made this memorable voyage in
26 days while we are now expecting
to see American airplanes make the
trip in about the same number OF
hours. ><
"The Savannah was built in New
York with the especial purpose OF
making the first transatlantic ven--
ture, and the engines constructed In
New Jersey, and made its departure
from the port VI Sasdhiinh eANSA S~~
command of an American captain,
Moses Rogers, Of Connecticut, navi-
gator. The vessel was so constructed
that her paddle wheels could be taken
out and laid on the decks when the
wind permitted tho use Of the sails.
and steam power was actually used on
only IS of the 2s days occupied by
that steamship voyage across the At
lantic.
whether the practical use Of the
airplane will develop as did that OF
the steamship of 100 years ago can
scarcely be yet predicted. though the
fact that air service for some Of the
$4,000 flying machines remaining from
the war is already being put into
practical operation in many parts OF
the world for the transportation OF
passengers and mails might give 1t an
even more prompt recognition than
that tardily rendered the first ocean
steamship, for a. full 20 years passed
after the successful voyage Of the Sa-
vannah before the establishment OF
steamship lines across the oceans"

RESCUE OF AIRMEN.
Officers OF Danish Steamer Tell How
Hawker and Grieve Were Saved.

Officers OF Danish Steamer Tell How
Hawker and Grieve Were Saved.
The Danish steamer Mary, which
rescued Harry G. Hawker and Lieut..
Commander Grieve in mid-Atlantic on
May>16, when they were compelled to
descend during their attempt to fly
from Newfoundland to Ireland, arrived
at Horsens, Denmark last Thursday.
Captain Duhn and his mates told Of
the rescue Of the aviator.
with Seaman Schwartz at the helm,
when at 6 O'clock on the morning Of
Monday, May 10. they sighted the air.
plane, which came down into the sea
off the bow of the ship. Hoey and
Schwartz Immediately prepared to
launch boat and, with First Mate
Schubert, Seaman Fred Jensen, and
Christian Larsen, the ships carpenter.
they set out for the airplane. The
crew of the Mary had considerable
difficulty in launching boat and Cap
tain Duhn said he doubted whether 1T
would have been possible to do so had
the airplane appeared an hour later
than 1t did.
Hawker and Grieve were greatly ex-
hausted after the rescue, the Captain
said, so much so that they declined
proffered food to obtain needed sleep.
Captain Duhn declared that the avia-
tors naturally were upset because the
Mary had no wireless and they were
unable to inform their relatives that
they were safe. The captain said that
Hawker also was somewhat disappoint-
ed because he was unable to salvage
the airplane so that he might learn
definitely the reason why he had fall
ed.
when I came on the bridge" Cap
tain Duhn said, "the machine had all
ready alighted on the water. The air.
men told us that before coming down
they had dropped rockets, but we did
not see them. The work Of saving the
airmen was pretty difficult, because
it was blowing very hard. Hawker
and Grieve were in water up to their
waists, but their watertight suits kept
them dry
Asked whether the crew of the life
boat was in danger in effecting the
rescue, the captain replied:
81 will not say serious danger, but,
as I say, 1t was rather difficult hour
before they succeeded in reaching the
airmen"
"All the airmen wanted to do was to
sleep. They told us that from the very
start they realized everything was not
quite in order, but that they had COM
forted themselves with the hope that
later they would get the right effects
from their motor. The defect, how
ever, became more and more apparent
and the speed of the motor steadily
lessened.
"They were very pleasant fellows
and we were the best of friends with
them. When they had had their sleep
ont and got a good meal with glass
Of 'schnapps' they were all right"
