to cut short the period of illness.
Diseases of the ear are often the re-
suit of improper attention to colds"
declares the bulletin. Some people
blow their noses so hard as to force
the germs producing the cold into the
middle ear and there an abScess is
produced.
Physicians specializing in nose,
throat and ear diseases tell us that
blowing the nose violently, especially
if the nostrils are closed by the fin
gers, is an important factor in forcing
the germs up into the ears. when
blowing the nose the fingers should be
placed over the bony part of the nose
so that the nostrils are not closed)
When an abscess forms in the middle
ear 1t may break through the ear
drums, frequently resulting in partial
deafness. At times the abscess, in
stead of discharging through the ear
drum, extends back into the mastoid
bone. When this bone, directly behind
the ear, becomes involved a surgical
operation is called for in order to pre-
vent the absceSs from breaking into
the brain. Occasionally, in spite of
surgical Intervention, meningitis or in
flamation of the brain coverings fol-
lows, resulting in death. 1t is true
that in these cases the cause Of
death is given as meningitis, but the
real cause was the common cold".
Another complication of the COM
mon cold is sinus infection. The sin
uses are small hollow spaces located
in the bones of the skull and conduct
ed by small openings with the nose.
Two of these Sinuses are in the cheek
bones, two in the bones of the fore
head Immediately above the eyes, and
two more far back below the brain
During an attack of common cold the
infection may travel from the nose
into one or more of these sinuses,
causing prolonged and painful disa-
bility and frequently demanding oper-
alive treatment. Occasionally the in
lection may break through into the
meningeS and cause death from men
nights.
In the case of children the patient
should be isolated as much as possible
and should not be allowed to attend
school or play with other children.
No child with an acute head cold,
cough or sore throat should be per-
mitted to attend school, All coughs
and sneezeS should be covered with
the handkerchief. Children with colds
should not be placed in bed with we'll
children. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that infants and children under
five be guarded from the colds of the
older members of the family. The
common cold to the infant frequently
means broncho- pneumonia, running
ear or an absceSsed gland. The young
er the child, the greater the danger.
Never kiss or shake hands with a child
when you have cold.
In the case of adults the same
rules of isolation should be enforced,
but unfortunately familiarity and pub
lie opinion still prevent the ideal
treatment. sA far as actual treat
ment is concerned, "a to 48 hours rest
in bed when the first symptoms ap-
pear, is probably the best measure and
will do much to cut short the period
of illness"

She waited long enough tc see her
several pieces of baggage on the way
then with swift steps she tripped
through a familiar street. A gay little
tune was on her lips as she turned
the corner, but it died hurriedly as
her old home came into view. "Why-
why, the house is almost dark she
thought; something must have hap
pened. Mother always kept so many
lights going at Christmas"
Her pace increased to a run as con-
sternation took hold of her. Then she
found herself pushing the bell and
knocking on the door at the same
time. In her anxiety, it seemed ages
before there was any response, then
she heard footsteps, and in another
moment, her fathers voice:
"Why, daughter, daughter !" the old
voice was almost broken. "Oh, thank
God that you have come! 1other will
be so happy"
With quick steps she ran toward the
little bedroom at the end of the hall.

CLOSE ARGUMENTS
 IN KEARNS SUIT
Dempsey Case to Be Given to
 Jury for Decision Today

New York, April 25 UP)-Clos- opposing counsel in the trial of lack kearns' suit against Jack Dempsey Tor $534,3Go, and Federal Judge John c. Knox was expected to submit the case to the jury late this afternoon.
 Evidence introduced by the de- fense purports to show that the con- tract on which kearns bases his suit was never recognized by either party and that Dempsey and kearns con- tinued to split "5O-5O" until the final break between the once famous flstic pair.
 The plaintiff bases its case on the strength of testimony introduced to show that kearns signed for Demp- sey to meet Tunney before the ex- piration of the contract between the two Jacks and is legally entitled to oEe-third of Dempseys purse for the Philadelphia bout.
 Tho bookmakers who have follow ed the trial have quoted the mythi- cal odds of to l that Dempsey wins.
 Dempsey fought Kearns just like he did Sharkey," one boxing tout confided. Jack was nearly out in the first few rounds of this legal tussle and he made a grand come back. You remember how he did against Sharkey. It's just the same way in this trial. The old Manassa mauler put over a knockout punch to Kearns' jaw when he got up there and kept telling 'em I don't re- member"
 Even If Kearns should win a yer dict, the amount of the sum prob ably will be reduced to about half the present amount by the court. kearns Is suing to collect his share of Dempsey's purse on the Tunney bout three times, and two of these causes of action probably will be stricken out by Judge Knox.
 The outcome of the suit will have no immediate effect on either Demp- sey or kearns. they both maintain.
 WILL uOL lCLuIH lu JLC Illl6 IL ] lose." Dempsey said.
 Whether l win or lose, I'll con- tinue as usual" Kearns said. "I'll have to start getting Mickey Walker ready 10 fight Ace Hudkins June 2i at Chicago and then I am going to start grooming two young heavy weights to win that title from Tun- ney.'

 Kansas Democrats In Kansas the democrats in con- vention instructed their delegation of 20 to support Representative Ayres, the only democrat from Kan sas in congress, for the presidency. Adherents of Senator Reed of Mis- souri had laid plans to capture the delegation and there were indica- tions that some Of the Smith fol- lowers aided the Ayres 'favorite son" movement.
 Oklahoma republicans rounded out their delegation of 20. with a Curtiss-Lowden coalition holding the whiphand. Hoover supporters say they see little chance of getting much support from Oklahoma dele gates.
 The republican state convention in Michigan was on todays calen- dar, with Hoover certain to get the B delegates. That block, with 31 from Ohio. will raise his conceded total of delegates already selected up to 2SS, with Lowden as runner up having 175. Neither total takes into account the possible lineup Of the delegates named yesterday in Massachusetts. Pennsylvania. Okla homa or Alaska, many of whom the Hoover forces are claiming.
 As for Smith, he had 311 con- ceded delegates prior to yesterday. A solid delegation from Massa chu- setts and the 60 odd his supporters claim from Pennsylvania would put his total above his high mark of 36s at the New York convention in 1924.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 25.-P>- Page Darwin!
 A physician Is authority for the statement that the inner organs Of Miss Congo. a gorilla, could not be distinguished from those of 12 or IA year old girl. The animal, said to be the only female gorilla in cap- tivity, appeared almost human in many respects, in the opinion of Dr. Ralph N. Green. Jacksonville.
 1liom colitis, disease common among humans, caused Miss Congo S death yesterday in Sarasota. The gorilla was valued at $15o.ooO by her owner, John Ringing, circus millionaire. She was captured in 1925 by Ben Burbridge, Jackson- vile explorer and big game hunter, on the slopes of Mount Kivu, Bel gian Congo. She subsequently became a pet of the Burbridge family.
 Miss Congo died holding a hand of her 'godmother," Mrs. James D. Burbridge. Jacksonville. Mrs. Bur bridge, long greatly attached to the rare specimen. had made special trip from here to Sarasota when notified of the gorilla's illness.
 sDr. Greene recalled that pr. Robert M. Yerkes, member of the Yale faculty, gave Miss Congo intel ligenee tests in 1925. The animal was found to possess a brain equal to that of a 6 or year old child. The scientist said Miss Congo was about that age when examined.

HOOVER AND SMITH ARE STRENGTHENED
Popular Choice Of Parties in
 Ohio, Mass. and Penn.

Washington, April 25 %-To al appearances, the voting in thu Ohio. Pennsylvania and Massachu setts primaries of yesterday ha: strengthened the hands of Secre tary Hoover and Governor Smitl of New York as contenders respec. lively for the republican and demo. cratic presidential nominations.
 Hoover Takes Ohio
 Hoover. in the face of a bittel contest, captured a majority of the 31 delegates from Ohio. His man. agers claim he will have the sup. port at Kansas City of more than a score of Massachusetts delegation of 39. They hope, on the show down, to land the 79 uninstructed delegates from Pennsylvania, head ed by Secretary Mellon.
 From the Smith camp comes the prediction that at Houston the New York governor will have the Massa- chusetts delegation of 36 to man, will have the support of all but q few of Pennsylvania's 76 delegate votes. and before the balloting is over will receive the votes of at least 40 of the AS delegates repre- senting Ohio.
 Ohio for Pomerene
 Smith made no bid for the Ohio delegation which, with the possible exception of one man, will line up for former Senator Atlee Pomerene on the first ballot.
 In the preferential voting in Ohio. Smith ran far ahead. No names were listed on the ballot, but Of those written in, the governor, on the incomplete count early to- day, had twice as many as the en- tire field combined. Included in that group were Pomerene. Governor Donahey, who is not an active candidate, and Reed of Missouri.
 Hoover Heads Willis Men
 Hoover in the preferential vote in Ohio forged far ahead of the late Senator Willis, who received many votes despite his recent death. The names Of both were on the ballot. Those of Dawes and Lowden were not but several thousand republi- cans wrote them in.
 The preferential result under Ohio laws is not binding on dele- gates, neither is it in Massachu- setts where Hoover and Smith away with the vote. cast under a new state law which en- lbled voters to write in the names of their favorites. Friends of Presi- lent Coolidge in his home state had planned to roll up a preferential vote for him at the polls, but last week he squelchcd that move. De- spite that, several thousands of his supporters wrote in his name.
 In the Bay State
 Among the Bay state republicans who will go to Kansas City as dele- gates at large are Chairman Butler of the republican national commit- -ee and close friend of the presf- lent, Senator Gillett and former Governor Cox. regarded as a Dawes nan at heart. One of the demo- cratic delegates at large from Mas will be Senator David I. Walsh, a staunch supporter of Gov ernor Smith.
