INFECTED TEETH, EARS
OFTEN CAUSE DIZZINESS
Traced by Doctor in Observations
Among Patients.
BY Science Service

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. H.
Dizziness may very often be traced
to infected teeth, tonsils or ears,
stated DR.. George w. Mackenzie
of this city in recent address.
1.-THE greatest single cause of
dizziness is a focus of infection in
teeth, tonsils, sinuses, ears or else
where, said DR.. Mackenzie.
Germs lodged in the roots or in
the sockets of the teeth form pockets
Of puS. These pockets may affect
nerves and blood vessels thus caus-
ing the sensation of dizziness. The
focus of such germ infection is most
often the teeth, ne believes.
Older people are more apt to have
attacks of dizziness, and they also
have more bridgework and dead
teeth which may harbor germs, than
younger people"
DR.. Mackenzie bases his claims
on figures and observations made
among his own patients.

HIGH MATERNAL
DEATH RATE LAID
To WITCHCRAFT
Unframed and Superstitious
MidWiveS Blamed in
U. S. Survey.
BY JOSEPH Fl. BAIRD,
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Witch-
craft practiced by unframed and
superstitious midwives was blamed
today by high official of the chill
dren's bureau, a doctor, as con-
tributing to Americas lead in ma
ternal mortality rates.
Her comment was inspired by
statistics made public Thursday
showing that in 1927, sixty-four
mothers died from each 10000
child births in America-the high
est rate in the world.
Americas wide and sparsely set
tied districts where there are few
or no doctors also was considered a
supplementary cause Of high ma
ternal mortality, as was the hete-
rogeneous character of our popula-
ton.
"A recent survey of thirty-four
states revealed 225,000 unframed
midwives, "she said. Most of
tlcSE WGIt NCBLOCo Al tAlC oONoAiCAAA
states. They we're ignorant and
superstitious. In some instances
they provided no medical care. They
relied solely on fantastic charms
amounting to witchcraft."
Lack of any medical care takes
heavy toll of mothers in the iso-
lated regions of the west and in
mountainous sections, it was said.
The Indians, particularly, are so
stoical they often refuse medical
aid, holding it a confession of
weakness.
Inter-marriage in America among
widely varied racial strains con-
tributes to high maternal death
rates, some medical authorities of
the chiIdren's bureau believe.

He then proceeded to put on his emergency brake when suddenly he felt jar from the rear, which moved his car about 12 feet. He stepped out, he said. and found the plaintiffs car within 10 or 12 feet from the rear of his truck, the radiator damaged and leaking.
 Officer Delbert Veley, who Was on duty in that district, testified that he came to investigate after the ac- cident happened. He also stated that the traffic light was red. but that it was customary for drivers at that point to go ahead when they were close 10 the signal when it changed as the change of lights did not us- ually affect the condition of traffic inasmuch as at that time. pedes- trians begin to cross It was per fectly logical to have kept going on, he said.
 A claim was also made by the plaintiff that the defendant did not give any warning of his intention to stop. Attorney William F. Mangan, counsel for the defense, stated in his argument that it was unnecessary to give warning as the red light itself was sufficient cause for any driver to notice danger. He also claimed that Is miles per hour at an intersection

 The amount Of actual damage done was $126, acording to bill presented as evidence, and it was left to the court to decide who was actually negligent. It appeared from the testimony Of the plaintiff that he was following the defendants car down Arch street at distance of approximately l2 feet. Both cars were proceeding at a rate of about l2 to Is miles per hour. Mir Mill kowitz claim was that when the de- fendant passed the traffic light sig nal at the intersection the car was stopped suddenly and without warn ing swayed backward, striking the front of his machine.

Washington, March cS P@Lack- ing official ad>ices on the reported finding of liquor in the baggage o' . member of congress who arrived at New York from Panama on Mon- day, treasury officials explained to- day that such travellers are granted the courtesy of the port and that if they bring in liquor. it is mat ter for their own conscience"
 Representative William M. Nor gan of Ohio. one of the Panama party. denied here last night that he knew of any intoxicants being found in the party's baggage by customs men.
 Assistant Secretary LoNman sad that returning members of congress are granted the freedom of the port and that the practice generally means that thiir baggage is not eN- amined.
 This does not mean that he can bring in liquor. narcotics or other contraband" he said. but the chances of detection are remote when he has freedom of the port.
 T do not know whether congress- men have abused this privilege. It is a matter for their own conscience. It is very clear, however. that a con- gressman going to the Canal zone. ex- cept as a member of a congression- al committee, is not entitled to the freedom of the hort and his baggage is subject to examination

Official reports from the British con- sulate at New Orleans, now being studied by the Canadian legation. are described as being obscure on this point as the unofficial accounts Of the incident have been.
 The consul. Henry Tom. reported on the preliminary statements and hearings at New Orleans aftsr the crew was landed. including the con- tention of the I'm Alone's master that his vessel was 14 or IS miles of the coast when accosted. The coast guards contention is that the schooner was within the 1o- mile limit in which the United States claims the right to board and ex- anime suspected vessels.
 While the international authorities are trying to get the exact details on which to base their next moves, the case has aroused such high feeling at Belize, British Honduras, the port from which the I'm Alone sailed on it's last voyage. that the American consul there has requested police protection. The situation. however. apparently has been kept in hand, since the state department has re- ceived no report on the matter from the consul.

It is unusual to find a picture that satisfies everyone, but such Is the case with New Years Eve" the Fox Film now showing at the Strand theater today. Friday and Saturday. The varied features of the film are such as to send all his cus- toners away praising the attraction in the highest terms.
 The plot concerns a girl of the tenements who. on New Years Eve. find herself penniless. A young mill lionaire. sensing she is in need, forces upon her . hundred dollar bill on which he has wrotten Hap py New Year." The gift leads to : series Of astounding situations.
 An exceptional supporting cast adds to the popularity of the film. Earle Foxe. Florence Lake. Arthur Stone, Helen Ware, Sumner Getch- ell, Virginia Vance. Stuart Erwin and other noted players take part in the production, which the direc- tor. Henry Lehrman. rates as one of the most successful of his many screen efforts.

 Take from the theater a man who has spent most of his life cracking the funny bone of the millions with stories ad lib wise cracks and stir ring the emotions with popular sob songs and turn him loose to do pret- ty much as he pleases in a sound movie, and the screen has something really new and something gorgeous ly entertaining and amusing.
 We are talking about George Jes- sel. who swayed today's audiences at the Capitol theater between mirth and tears with Lucky Boy" which is the first time this excellent enter tainer has talked and sung in . fea- ture length picture. and we hope N won't be the last. for these new talk ies seem to have been invented for the talents that Jessel has to dis play.
 It's a chronicle, rather than plot. but that is of minor importance, so long as Jessel is there to keep it cracking and bristling with wit and harmony. The dialogue and titles are Of Jessel's own authorship. Norman Taurog and Charles c. Wilson ham, dled the direction cleverly and Ru- dolph Flotow supervised the dia- logue and singing sequences. The cast is large and excellent with Mar garet Quimby. Rosa Rosanova. Gwen Lee, Richard Tucker. William K. Strauss and Gayne Whitman enact ing the more prominent roles.
 Beginning Sunday, the Capitol will offer the talking sensation, "Ihe Bellamy Trial with an all-star cast.
 Coming soon is the "Broadway Melody" an all singing. all talking and all dancing picture.
