HOW GREAT MEN
 MAKE LOVE !. AS REVEALED BY THEIR LOVE LETTERS
 By JOSEPH KAYE
co by Wheeler Syndicate. Incl MICHELANGELO AND WIT. TORIA COLONNA
By JOSEPH KAYE

TINTIL almost his allotted three V score years and ten had passed Michelangelo held aloof from the intimate society of women His was lofty genius and few women could climb up to his pinnacle. Or perhaps he did not let them.
 At sixty-three he met Vittoria Col onna and from then on until he died he worshiped her. Colonna was the widow of the marquis of Pescara and lived in magnificent state in a palace on a bewitching island called Ischia She adored her husband and when he died he left a void in her heart which was so deep that only a man of the intellect and genius of a Michelan. gelo could fill.
 Below Is one of the poetical ad. dresses the artist made to his ideal:
 Better plea, Love cannot have than that in lovine
 thee.
 Glory to that eternal peace is paid Who such divinity to thee imparts Az hallows and makes fne all gentle
 hearts,
 His hope is trsacherous only whose love
 dies
 With beauty which is varying ever,
 hour.
 But in chaste hearts, uninhuenced by
 the power Of outward changes, there blooms a
 deathless flower That breathes on earth the air Of
 Paradise.
 Michelangelo painted only two portraits In his life One of these was of vittoria Colonna. The portrait shows the features of a woman pos sessing more intellectual power than beauty.
 An open mouth b not the sign of an open mind.

KEEPING WELL. EARACHE A DANGER
 SIGNAL
DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor ef srHEAlTH-

 HAvE you ever noticed the hope IA less shut-in expression on a deaf persons face? Next to our eyes, our ears are our most important sense or gans It Is through the eyes and the ears that we learn about the world outside ourselves and keep In com- municauon with our fellows A blind man cannot see what Is going on around him but he can hear. and his hearing generally becomes more acute. to make up for his loss of sight
 But a deaf person is cut of from the world of sound. Not only human voice but also all forms of music do not exist for him.
 Because the external ears are prom inent features we generally think of Yet the external ears are the least im- portant part of our hearing machfn- cry. They are like the horn on the photograph or the loud speaker on the radio. Their function Is to col lect the sound waves and guide them to the inner ear. The really important part of our hearing apparatus lies fn what is called the inner ear. This Is surprisingly like the modern tele- phone. A tight oval membrane. the eardrum, corresponds to the dia- phragm in the telephone. Three small bones, held by fragments and attached % that they move when the drum vibrates, transmit the sound in the form of motion to the auditory nerve which carries the impulse to the brain.
 Anything which interferes with the perfect operation of this delicate ma chinery will affect the hearing.
 Wax in the outer canal will prevent the air waves from entering or keep the drum from vibrating. Adenoids or enlarged tonsils in the throat may close up the lower end of the canal from the throat to the middle ear and so affec. the air pressure that the drum or the bones cannot move 1n- fammation of any kind will produce thickening of the drum or cause the ear bones to stick to each other. h. lection in the ear with the collection of pus may rupture the drum or the pus may work back into the deeper structures in the bone producing deep abscesses, very dangerous to life.
 Eareche is not q harmless complaint of childhood, as some parents think It is a sign of deep infection which may endanger life and certainly will injure hearing.
 Don't use hairpins toothpicks. matches penholders or any other hard substance in the ears.
 Don't allow children to put any thing into their cara Any foreign object may produce deafness or in- jury to the cara
 If wax occurs remove 1t with a soft cloth or by gently swinging the ear with warm water.
 If your child has earache find out the reason for 1t Hot water or hot salt bags, warm sweet oil, onion poul- uces and other household remedies are good enough to control the pain temporarily. But they do not remove the cause of the pain.
 Middle ear infection in children following scarlet fever or measles or due to persistent "colds" may endan- ger life or may result in lifelong deaf ness.
 Take the same care of your ears that you do of your eyes Earache and deafness are danger signals Take warning in time.

PROPOSE EXTENSION
 OF EAST MAIN STREET
Thoroughfare May Run Through to Washington
 Street

The desire of city officials to re- lieye traffic in the center of the city has given impetus to 8 movement started some time ago 10 extend East Main street through to Washington street. and it is expected the project will be brought to the attention of the city government shortly.
 The proposed extension would come at a point opposite the south line of East Main street and with the exception of th Hanna building and garage in the rear, none but a few shacks not now occupied would stand in the way of a clear highway.
 The new street, it is explained. would cut off much of the west hound traffic coming into the city by way of Hartford avenue. It would also afford a new business area.
 Costs of the proposed extension have not been figured, but while 1t would be admittedly high. the return in the way of traffic relief and the creating of a new business zone would offset the expense. those who back the project feel.
