TREATING SWIMMERS EAR"

During July, August ana Septem-
Der physicians are called on to treat
more ear troubles than during

The colds of the spring months do

quently than does swimming in the
summer months.
These summer ear troubles range
from earaches through boils In the
ear to mastoid assesses.
DR.. A. Rovinsky gives some ad-
vice to swimmers on protection of
the ears and prevention of ear
trouble. which was written espe-
cially for those who indulge in sea
bathing. Also applies in consider
able measure to those who swim
in rivers and inland lakes.
II one is subject to ear trouble
1t is we'll to plug the ears with cot
ton saturated with albolene or
borated vaseline before going in. If
this does not keep water out of the
ears it is well TO wear a rubber
cap and to have it come below the
ears
the mouth Is dangerous from the
VI Cui ttouOlCs w iIClt
one takes water into the mouth
while floating, swimming, or diving
there is considerable chance that
some Of it will pass down the Eus-
tachian tube into the middle ear.
The mechanics Of the mouth, ear
and tube make that easy when the
head is in certain positions.
DIR. Rovinsky finds that much of
the na;-o rbo after Su-in, n,1,,i,,p &c dun
to water which has got into the ears
from the mouth.
He relieves such cases by passing
Eustachian catheter and draining
out the water. If the water Is pol
luted (and water around bathing
beaches is generally fairly polluted),
infection of the middle ear Is like
Iy to occur. Such infection may
spread to the mastoid.
If a person has a good deal Of
wax in his ears he should be care
full about getting water in his ears
while swimming. The wax absorbs
water and swells up, filing the
canal.
Most of the ear infections due to
swimming result In boils in the ex-
ternal ear canal. If that is the
location Of the trouble there will be
pain in chewing; drawing the ear
upward without force will cause
pain; pressure just in front of the
ear reveals tenderness.
For infections in this region he
paints with a solution Of nitrate Of
silver, and then he, puts into the
canal a piece Of sterile gauze satu-
rated with alcohol every two hours.
If the pimples develop grease the
canal with borated vaseline or zinc
oxide ointment.

BALTIMORE. Md. July 12.-This is
the tale OF a peeping policeman and
what befell him when he dashed from

was performing a duty not at. all IN
pleasant at first, but fraught with many
perils.
For some days Baltimore County

reports that certain young girls have
been escaping the hot wave by bathing
in the dam. They did not allow them
selves to be incumbered with garments
Of any description.
The marshal was assigned to make an

frolicklng OF the mermaids
Hiding himself behind tree near the
south bank OF the stream tho marshal
waited for the arrival Of the bathers.
Within a short time a group OF pretty
girls assembled on the opposite bank
and began to disrobe There were sew

appeared beneath the surface OF the clear
waters
Soon a scream for help echoed from
the other shore.

hiding place he reached the bank in
but a few strides. and was about to
plunge into the water when other voices
called out:

here? We've a great mind TO give you

Then two Of the girls who had reached
the bank pushed the patrolman into the
