IA, DIED MONDAY MORN

Vera Raudebaugh, IA year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Raude-
baugh, 400 North Sitgreaves street,
died at 2:30 o'clock Monday morning

ness of only two days.
Vera first complained of being sick
Saturday morning, but no one was
alarmed at her condition until Sunday
afternoon when her temperature took
an abrupt rise and a partial paralysis
of the legs took place. Early in the
evening the doctors called on the case
had every hope for the recovery of the
child, but she took a turn for the
worse and passed away early next
morning.
A private funeral was held Tuesday
morning and burial was in the Flag
staff cemetery.
Vera Raudebaugh was born in Flag

whom she had contact. Always of a
friendly nature, she radiated kindli-
ness and happiness to all and the
many pets with which she surrounded
herself gave true indication of her
loving disposition.

RED HOT PEAKS

Those who happened to be some
distance east of the Peaks Saturday
night just at sunset saw them in a
coloring they will not soon forget.
They were bright fire red. AS the sun
sank a purple shadow crept up from
the base, gradually replacing the red.
The Peaks first looked as though
they had been heated red hot, then
as if they were gradually cooling.

County Engineer J. B. Wright has
had crew working on Bright Angel
trail, Grand Canyon, for couple

was spent on repairs to it during the
preceding year.

According to E. M. Mercer, local
director of rodent control, the lowly
prairie dog may be of some value. He
had request from Les Angeles fur
house for several pelts of adult
dogs. If the pelts prove to be of COM
mercial value, as those Of the rabbit
have proven to be, trapping of prai-

jured and would probably die be-
cause. unknown to himself or his
parents, he was so duh of hear
ing that he could not hear the
warning that would have saved
him.
We are advised by McAuliffe
that the results of different OBJ
servers show that 1910 per cent
Of school children have defective
hearing. which, in more than
three-quarters of them, is prevent
able. IL we are to lower this
terribly high percentage it is most
important that we should learn
how to recognize faulty hearing,
so that we can bring the children
under treatment as early as pos.
sible, and give them their best
chances of being cured.
You should, at the outset, under.
stand that deafness in children is
difficult to detect, even for a doc.
tor. There is nothing to show for
it. One has to rely on what the
child can tell about what 1t hears.
If 1t is too young to help In this
way we have only indirect signs
to go on. 1t Is for this reason
that, very often, deafness is not
discovered until the child goes to
school where it comes in com.
petition with the hearing of other
children.
1t then frequently appears that
the hearing started to be defec.
tive after an attack of mumps,
diphtheria, pneumonia or one of
the other infectious diseases. The
ears are affected in 10 per cent
of hereditary syphlitics, some say
even more. The disease burns
itself out about the sixteenth
year. but leaves its traces behind
in all kinds of damages, of which
deafness is one. Deafness is
sometimes the sign of an in.
herited defect. 1t occasionally is
the result Of arrested development.
That means that, in the life of
the embryo, the hearing nerve is
the last to come to maturity and
that sometimes this maturity is
not reached Some statistics
show that so per cent of deaf
children have deaf relatives.
One of the chief causes of deaf.
ness in children Is what the
doctors call otitis media. That
means an infection of the middle
ear, which, because of the help.
lessness and anatomical peculiari.
ties of infancy, is very common.
1t is stated in good authority
that out of 230 children exam
ined in one of the schools in the
poorer locality of London, only 81
had normal ear drums. The
other 200 had discharging middle
ears and catarrh.
The most obvious signs Of this
middle ear trouble are irritability,
vomiting, poor appetite, bowel,
trouble or night collie during a
cold, an unexplained rise of tenn
perature, or loss of weight. The
pain in these cases is reduced by
lying on the bad ear. If a child
refuses to take one breast it
should be examined for otitis
