One local resi-
dent has invited so people to listen in
to the Tunney- Heeney contest. Each
of the invited guests owns receiving
set. but most of them have accepted
the bid. A buffet supper will be served,
and everything.

all sports, we must confess that even the

Louder, Please :"

Every public speaker Is familiar with
the request from the back Of the hall,
Louder, pleased" II usually comes at
the beginning of the talk. Why? BE-
cause every large audience Is restless
and makes mass InurTnuT of slight
human noises. Gradually 1t settles
down to silence. It's against this I'M
dercurrent of noise that the speaker
has to contend. The experienced
speaker starts with more voice volume
than he needs. He carries loud
speaker OF his own.
There are other reasons. A speaker,
unlike singer. who needs only to be
heard, must be both heard and under
stood. How difficult 1t Is to convey
message when the transmission Is even
slightly imperfect is shown by the tele-
phone and frequency of wrong num-
ber." The proper cry is often not
louder" but palmer, please speak
more distinctly-give the audience a
better connection.
But the problem so raised is an old
one in the psychology of hearing and
has given rise to the belief that those
hard of hearing hear better when there
is little rumble going on. The ear
is a. very delicate organ, and sounds
fuse and confuse. The message you
want to catch is easily drowned in the
general stream. We learn to select and
listen In the buzz of conversation, when
everybody is talking at once. Yet what
pests are the people who insist on whis-
pering while the play is oni On the
other hand, the telegraph clerk in a
roomfull of clicking magnets listens to
his own instrument and ignores the
rest. Each ear is tuned in to the wave
length of its own attention.
Understanding all this, there was still
the experience that when talking to a
hard-of- hearing companion on a train,
he seemed to hear you better than in a
quiet room. The explanation assumed
that the slightly deaf ear had its in
ertia overcome by the secondary sound
or rumble, and that once thus stimu-
lated the added voice of the speaker
made more of an impression Recent
experiments show that this theory
doesn't hold. It's an Illusion for the
most part.
What really happens Is that the
speaker with normal hearing is much
disturbed by the train noise, and so
raises his voice In speaking, and the
deaf companion gets the benefit Of the
louder speaking. AS fact, all of us.
whether of normal hearing or slightly
deaf, do not hear as well In the pres
ence OF a noise.
Next, most persons hard of hearing
have more trouble in hearing tones of
low pitch than f1igh-pitched tones: and
most of the buzzing rumbling. disturb
ing noises are low-pitched. So the deaf
person has an advantage in not hearing
much of the train noise; consequently
the deaf person talking on the train
raises his voice but little. So you have

Ringworm.

Kingworm.
You have seen naolds and miidew.
They are colonies Of one Of the lowest
types Of plant growths--fungi The In
dividual plants can be seen only with
the microscope.
Ringworm is al caused by a fungus
growth: probably more than one. The
chief one is known as trichophyton
fungus. Where do they come from?
Well, there may always be some of the
little plants on the skin. and there may
be some floating around In the air.
A form of mango In cats, dogs and
horses is due to a fungus growth, and
1t is III probable that children dc
get ringworm from infected animals. as
they 1lay v them or are around

Ringworm is contagious disease
and may be transmitted by direct con-
tact or by toilet articles or clothing
