IN EAL estate values in South and Southwest Texas
n are based upon the solid foundation of intrinsic
worth. There has been and we hope there will

bitter aftermath. An orgy of speculation while sending
prices skyrocketing and making fortunes overnight for
favored few, will not contribute to the permanent
prosperity of this section.
That the values in South and Southwest Texas are
REAL and being real will suffer deflation proved
concusvey by the with which the land sells itself

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health, New York City.

Deafness is an uncomfortable af-
Fiction. Every affliction is uncom-
Portable but deafness is a distract
ing and embarrassing silment. You
hate to admit you can't hear well
and you can't bear to ask more
than once that n statement be re-
peatcd.
Unfortunately, deafness is a com
mon trouble. Indeed. as We grow
older all Of US appear to suffer
some impairment in hearing.
There are many types and many
causes for deafness. The most fire.
quently met form is usually de-
scribed as catarrhal Deafness"
This is the deafness which follows
long continued catarrh Of the nose.
The mucous membrane which
lines the nasal cavities does not
limit its boundaries or confinc it.
self to this region. 1t extends up
the passagewsy, known as the
Eustachian tube. to the middle ear.
The mucous membrane lines tie
tube and the ear cavity. II makes
an intimate covering for the tiny
bones Of the ear.
One Of the bones is called the
"stirrup bone" for the reason that
it is shaped like the stirrup Of
saddle. 1t is very. very small, of
course, but plays an important part
in the mechanism Of hearing.
The little bones form chain
across the cavity OF the middle ear.
They are Joined together and freely
movable. The outer bone is at
tached to the ear drum and the foot
plate OF the stirrup fits into an
opening in the skull. Beyond this
window is capacity filled with
fluid in which float the ends Of the
nerves of hearing.
You will see that the movements
Of the drum are transmitted through
the chain of>bones TO the foot-plate

How to Look Slender
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

; ton. 1t is a good plan, when you
are doing the housework and nobody
is around looking on, to turn on the
music and do busting to music. 1t
gives you grace of movement.
The stout woman is warned not to
stand with her feet apart or her
arms akimbo. She should make
practice of keeping her hands COM
fortably in front of her.
She should not cross her arms.
Two fat arms can look like four, If
you are not careful.
She should stretch and bend and
do a number of other exercises to
keep herself timber.
She should stand up straight like
a soldier. Most fat women slump
down, emphasizing their .fatness.
They should hold the head high and
the chin up.
Among necklaces, those that are
slender and well-made may help a
stout woman with her collar line,
and slenderize her face, but heavy
crystals and fat beads are liable to
make her look fIeshier than she is.
Big folk must keep away from
babyishness and learn to stand on
their own two feet and look straight
ahead toward the goal Of slenderness.
A graceful fan helps, and fat fin
gers are shortened and made to look
more fat by heavy rings. Earrings
widen the face, but they may be ap-
propriate and graceful.

English Communism

~ HE chief constable of Manchester said a mouth
full when the British Fascist asked to be en-
rolled to help the police keep oSder if at any
time strikes should make it necessary. He replied that
in the past the general citizenship of Manchester had
always helped when help was needed.
That is democracy. Mr.. Baldwin represents Eng
land at her best His home-secretary Sir William Joyn
sonHcks represents her at her worst is not easy
why Mr. Baldwin allows Hicks to keep up his absurd
red panics especially just at the moment when the La
Dor party has shown itself thoroughly behind
vatve labor and determined to keep free of the Com
munists If were not for few newspapers and Hicks,
England would not know she had Communist problem.
Still does the truth hold here. The vote of the
Workers party at the last election represents not violent
Communism, but all the Communism there is and took
microscope to find it. The visions of few govern
ment officials account for the rest.

Life's Hurdle

BY L. E. Bisch

Curious as it may seem there may
be one or more forces deep within
the mind Of an individual that holds
him hack.
1t is curious because he is not
conscious of it.
In other words, he docs not know,
does not even suspect, that a hidden
force is operating against his best
interests.
Most of us suffer with SOM.
thing of the sort.
The unconscious. or underneath
mind Of ours, harbors many such
devastating forces.
Unconscious inferiority is one Of
the commonest.
Many persons do not make good
in life, or do not achieve the sue.
cess their ability and talents mcri.
because hidden away in the uncon-
scious is a small but effective voice
that keeps whispering, "You can't
do it,"
II would, Of course, be well nigh
impossible to form an estimate of
the numbers Of persons suffering
from hidden feelings Of inferiority.
But probably guess of one-quar.
ter of the population would be no
exaggeration.
Fear is another Of these uncon-
scious motivating factors.
Have you ever, for instance. no
ticed yourself hesitating to do or
say what your intelligence tells YOU
is the proper thing to do?
You feel you are right, you feel
the power to carry through-yet
you hesitate, vacillate, and finally
do nothing!
You're afraid, that's what you
are.
You're not consciously afraid.
You do not, therefore, realize you
are. Nevertheless it operates, this
unconscious fear, in stopping you
in your tracks.
Guilt and shame are two other I'M
conscious forces that undermine and
handicap.
How often they work in subtle,
disguised ways.
How often it's guilt or shame or
both that make you stale and in
effective which there is every res-
son why you should achieve.
Psychologists have a way Of get
ting at these underneath, uncon-
scious, hidden forces that under
mine.
The method employed is called
psycboanalysis.
Psycb:analysis probes the deeper
recesses Of the mind and brings to
light-to conscious recognition
these and many other mechanisms
that affect our actions and cause
unbappiness and failure.
The more conscious recognition OF
what our unconscious handicaps are
is sufficient.
Recognizing them makes them au-
tomatically disappear!

A book has come to me entitled
Dress and Look Slender" By Jane
Warren Wells. 1t Is from the Wom-
ems Institute of Scranton, Pa, and
/ suspect that Wells is the PEN
name for someone connected with
that institute.
But any way, it is a good book.
Everyone cannot be slender, but
everyone can look slendercr than
he is.
Fat is the curse of most people;
it is the thing that all women dread,
and this book gives some very good
suggestions on how to appear thin.
1t is all a matter of lines, appar-
entity. Long, straight lines give you
a thin and tall appearance, and
cross lines make you look fat and
dumpy. Dresses. Therefore, that are
planned in parallel vertical lines are
best for a fleshy person.
There arc many tricks that can be
played by those who want to look
slender. They all depend upon OPP
teal illusion. A slender woman may
actually appear stout By failing to
dress in accordance with these illu-
sions, and conversely a stout woman
can appear slender.
Attention should be directed to all
details, such, for instance, as walk
ing. Some people walk as though
they weighed a thousand pounds, and
some people are light on their feet.
1t is important not to let the body

Sea-water Gold
BY Garrett p. Serviss

Professor Alphonse Berget of the
French Oceanographic Institute
calls upon the stage once more the
ever-tantalizins subject Of the i'm
mense metallic riches locked up in
ocean waters. He says that repeat
ed analyses Of sea water have all
shown the existence OF the same
quantity of gold. namely about 80
millisrams per ton.
Estimating the total quantity Of
sea water at 1890 million cubic
kilometes. and its total weight at
1.3s0,OoO. 200, zoo, 100000 tons, the
total weight Of gold contained in II
comes out $4,000. OO0. 100000 tons.
Surprising the population of the
globe to be 100000. 900. every man.
woman and child in the world might
possess 1900 kiIograms-101 200
pounds-of solid gold from the sea;
provided. first, that the sea would
give it up. and second that every
person could get his numerical share.
At S15 an ounce every share. would
be worth $4,000. OO0. 900.
The sea also contains a great
quantity of silver, but. contrary 10
what happens on land. the silver
in the sea is much less abundant
than the gold. only ten miiiic-aumcs
being found in each ton Of water.
Many persons are greatly aston
ished when told that gold and silver
and other metals are held in dissolu-
ton in sea water. In fact. iron is
included along such metals. Iron
ships that sink To the sea bottom are
slowly dissolved. 50 that the pic
lures often drawn Of the scenes that
would be presented IL the beds Of
the ocean were brought to view are
probably very different from the
reality.
Those who long TO get st the
golden wealth Of the sea may prof
itably reflect upon the consequences
that would follow an unlimited sup
ply Of that precious metal. In ny
story Of The Moon Metal" written
% years ago. the disasters that
might b. expected from the arrival
Of such flood of deceptive wealth
are depicted; but the subject mods
no argument.
II is not alone its peculiar quail
ties Of beauty, Of uncbangeablencss,
and Of easily recognizable personal
ity, 20 10 speak. that have made gold
the standard Of value for the world,
and solid basis Of credit and there
fore Of all sound business and fl
nance, but still more it's limited sup
ply which assures to it permanance

Of the stirrup. This swings freely
in the opening, in and out, agitating
the fluid Of the cavity and the ends
Of the nerves.
This is a brief description Of how
waves of sound make their move
ments felt by the nerves of hearing,
which, in turn, carry the messages
to the brain.
But what happens if the foot
plate Of the stirrup bone becomes
fixed in its place and refuses to
move back and forth like the clutch
Of an automobile?
This is the condition in catarrh
Of the middle ear. The membranes
become thickened and hardened and,
in consequence. the free movement
Of the stirrup is retarded. Only the
louder sounds are capable OF getting
it under way. The softer notes arc
lost because they are not strong
enough to agitate the stirrup.
To prevent deafness. you must
prevent catarrh Of the middle ear.
To prevent middle ear trouble you
must escape the dangers OF nasal
catarrh, with the probability that
the catarrhal deafness is to prevent
it by guarding repeatedly against
colds and chronic nasal catarrh.
