DEAF FOR 70 YEARS,
 WOMAN NOW HEARS
New York Resident Puzzles Some
 of the Best Physicians

New York, Aug. 25.-The strange and unexplained curing of an old woman. deaf and dumb since girl hood. was told yesterday in the fol- lowing account from the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philan- thropic Societies. 11l Fifth Avenue:
 Lena Stein, thought to be between 80 and S5 years old, after having been deaf and dumb since her early ado- lescence, is recovering both hearing and speech in a manner which puzzles the physicians in charge of the Feder- ation of Jewish Philanthropies' Home for Aged and Inhrm Hebrews, 106th street, near Columbus Avenue, where Miss Stein has for the last twenty five years been an inmate. The recov- cry and the use of ears and vocal cords followed a severe attack of pneumonia of last winter, from which Miss Stein, or Polly, as she is known to all of the 330 inmates of the home. is slowly recovering.
 Because of her long period of deafness. Polly had forgotten all she knew about the German language, which she learned at Frankfort.on. the Rhine when she was a girl.
 Cannot Account For It
 "Dr. S. Newton Leo. who has been In charge of the medical treatment of the inmates ever since Polly came to the home. Is unable to account for the recovered use of these organs, ex. cept that he feels a general improve ment in physical condition, despite the ravages of pneumonia, had had some- thing to do with 1t.
 Tt is remarkable enough Dr. Leo said, to see a woman who must be close to s5. and perhaps is even older than that, withstand a severe attack of influenza followed by pneumonia. This Polly has done three times in the last i've years. During the convales- cence from the last attack, which took place about ten months ago. Polly had regained her hearing and has been struggling to use her vocal cords Some of the old women in her sick ward are able to understand a great deal of what she says, and now and then can recognize an old German expression which which she used de- cades ago.
 Experts examined this lady when she first came to the home and pro- nounced her deafness incurable. She has been here twenty-five years. Of course she was dumb only because she could not hear and gradually she for got the language she once knew"
