Mrs T.-Mastoiditis Is the inflamnla-
ton of the cells, called 'nastoid cells, y
IN the bones back OF the ears. (The
termination tits" means Inflammation
This Inflammation may follow tubercu-
loSiS, pneumonia. typhoid. influenza or
other diseases, but the most frequent
cause is the Inflammation Of the ears
themselves, which, IN turn, may come
from bad colds.
In acute cases the first symptom Is
intense pain behind the ear and often
the whole side of the head. There Is
usually some temperature.
II there is no free drainage from the
ear there may be some danger Of this
tnflanmatiou's hurrowing UP into the
brain. If the drum is not already
prnctured. the doctor punctures it TO
allow for this free drainage. It Is con-
sidere6 better TO do this than to wait
for nature to rupture 1t, because the
natural rupture causes more destruction
than q clean incision, and too much
damage may so on before the rupture
occurs.
Simple cases Of mastoiditis recover
without operation. You have to leave
TO your physician the question of de-
ciding whether TO operate or not. II
an operation Is necessary, the patient
usually RECEIVERS quickly from it-in 10

take longer, perhaps six weeks, depend

Prevalence Of Weakfoot.

Experience enables one to surmount
some of the difficulties OF tranSlating
medicine and hygiene into lay language
or thought, but art is long, as some one
has remarked, and had been at this
for 10 or l2 years before 1t dawned on
me that what we doctors recognize as
static valgus, potential flatfoot,. pro-
mated foot, is known to the laity as
weak ankles" You see. had thought
of the ankle as joint merely; I could
conceive of a small or large joint. q
stiff or flexible one, hinge or socket
joint. but not a strong or weak one.
Let us compromise on the term weak
foot. That fairly conveys the ioea.
weakfoot Is still quite common
among children In their early teens, es-
pecialIy girls. but only too frequent
among BOYS where the schooling or the
home training Is poor. Weakfoot Is
most likely to occur when the child's s
general nutrition Is faulty-not lack OF
food, but faulty hygiene--a1d particu-
larly when parents favor a nampy-
pampy training and willingly permit
the child to avoid or escape all vigor-
Gus play, athletic activity, rough games.
or, too often, even gymnasium classes
II this boon Is available.
Although this condition Is pretty
common, have an impression that 1t Is
not so common as it was 10 to 20 years
ago. and would ascribe that to the
gradual decline Of the namby -pamby
Idea in education and the gradual in
PRODUCTION of physical education into
our backward educational system.
The young victim of weakfoot may or
may not complain of pain or fatigue,
either in the legs or referred TO other
parts of the body, but will inevitably
manifest distaste for wholesome play or
sports or athletic activity that requires
agile use of the feet have no inten-
ton of suggesting any symptoms OF
weakfoot, here or elsewhere. Parents
too often do much harm by attempting
TO deal with such condition them
selves.
The one obvious characteristic of
weakfoot Is the rolling inward of the
ankles when the child stands or walks.
This is rather striking If the child is
permitted to wear high, narrow heels.
Associated with this ''knock-knee" ten
dency OF the ankles Is an outward turn
Ing or pointing Of the toes. This turn
ing out Of the toes was formerly af-
fected deliberately by sickly young ladies
in seminary training, but the modern
girl strives rather to keep her feet as
nearly parallel as she can when walk
ing, as this gives graceful gait.
A secondary reason for the decreasing
prevalence of weakfoot, no doubt, Is the
reform In the manufacture of shoes.
Ten or twenty years ago normally
shaped shoes could be bought only with
great difficulty and searching: today
every shoe manufacturer provides lasts
for men. women and children that fit
the undeformed foot as well as any one
could wish. But this reform has come
about. believe, only as consequence
OF the demand created by better physi-
cal education. The doctors were clam

practically without odor, is more
injurious to the health than all
the other obnoxious by-products
of the automobile. This is the
carbon monoxide, which Is the re-
suit Of partial and incomplete
combustion Of the gasoline In the
engine. This carbon monoxide is
the only real poison among the
gases escaping from our en-
gineS.
The question is now, can the
combustion In the engine be car
ried on without the formation of
all these various obnoxious by
products? The answer is that un-
der very special circumstances
every good engine will produce an
exhaust which Is free from odor,
carbon monoxide, oil. etc. To have
such fortunate conditions the en-
gine must be set to perfection as
to the supply OF the fuel and the
oil; 1t must run under set tenn
perature conditions and. mainly,
it must run under even load; that
Is TO say, when it is running for a
while under such even changeless
conditions, when the temperature
in the various parts Of the engine
remains constant and when the
power the engine has to deliver
does not change any more; that is
to say, when the car runs at q
constant speed on a constant
grade, then we may expect a per.
fectly odorless exhaust free from
everything that Is obnoxious.
'It has been proposed that one
should use a higher grade gasoline
so as to avoid the condensation of
the less volatile products which
our gasolines now contain. I
doubt the efficiency Of such a
method, and I am informed that
there Is no likelihood Of any Of
ficial regulations as to the vola-
tility Of the gasoline in any coun-
try on account OF the doubtful re-
suit Of such regulations.
I'VE may thus say that there
will not be any remedy OF the
matter by such means. Also 1t Is
doubtful whether there will be
any vital changes In the construc-
ton of our automobile engines.
We will thus always have the
same production of an obnoxious
exhaust as we are having now.

Psychology in automobile driving will
make the world safer for motorists and
pedestrians, according to DR.. Knight
Dunlap, professor OF psychology at
Johns Hopkins University.
Standardization and simplicity. two
names for driving psychology. Is urged
by Dunlap as q panacea for trafhc prob
lens and accident prevention.
For instance. the monotonous run OF
dangerous curve" signs on gentle
curves tends to make the driver OF an
auto less cautious when approaching a
really bad curve.
Standardization Of these signs would
serve to keep the driver constantly on
the alert for bad curves. He could re-
lax when the signs told him that things
were comparatively serene ahead.
The simplifying OF traf1ic signals
would make driving Of an auto q me-
chanical process, according to Dunlap.
Red. he says. can easily be misun-
derstood in trafiic lights for the reason
that color does not always indicate stop.
Detour signs are red. Danger signals
are red. Signals set UP to indicate road
repairs are red.
Drivers will never be trained to the
point OF an automatic, unrefiecting
stop on the red light so long as other
uses OF red In signals are retained
Fatal accidents have occurred from use
OF red lanterns on road distractions.

The present system Of pushing for

than the famed Gen" Jacob Sechler
Coxey. who led his picturesque army"
Of unemployed into Washington back
In 1894. In Washington now to push
legislation which he says will enable
roads to be constructed without interest
charges, Gen" Coxey declared that
"thc road question Is the biggest prob
lem that confronts the country today"
Quoting the point that there are now
5000, 600 unemployed In the Nation,
this noted Ohioan says that highway
construction under proper methods
would go a long distance toward reliev-
ing this problem.
1T Is an outrage to have all this labor

"It isn't Federal aid we need, but
Federal duty to coin money for the
States and then tax the property where
improvements are needed and return
the money in 25 annual installments Of
per cent each." this veteran student
Of finance asserted.
why should the Federal Government
develop the resources OF State through
Federal aid?" he asked. adding: That's
UP to the State itself, but it Is the duty
Of the Federal Government to furnish
money without interest to the State
so it can be developed and hold the
State as security for repayment"
Gen" Coxey knows thing or two
as a practical automobilist himself. He
