100000 CHILDREN
FOUND TO BE DEAF
Experiments Show That Num-
Der in Schools Have Partially
Impaired Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, July 6.-Three mil
lion school children of the United
States are partly deaf, the National
Education Association has been in
formed.
The figures were presented to the de-
partment of lip reading by Knibloe p.
Royce of the research products depart
ment Of the Graybar Electric Co. He
told what the audiometer has revealed
about children's hearing.
This instrument tests 40 children at
one time. Each child has a pair Of ear
phones and checks on chart what he
hears coming from his audiometer. TO
the child 1t is a sort OF game.
The audiometer," said Mr. Royce,
now is in use in about 100 school Sys-
TENS in this country. Careful studies
already have shown that there are from
40 to so partly deafened children per
1000 pupils in the average school and
that these children repeat grades about
three and one-half times more fire.
quently than do children with normal
hearing.
This means an average annual ex-
pense to the community of about 81 900
per 1000 pupils for unnecessary educa-
ton.
Much of this expense Is being saved
in school systems where slight deafness
is detected and treated and where more
seriously handicapped children are
taught lip reading. In many cases
pupils who have been chronic repeaters
are able to keep up with their classes
after a few months of instruction In
lip reading.
THE child in most cases is unaware
of his afiiction and suffers in his
studies without knowledge of the true
cause. About half these early stage
cases may be cured If treated soon
enough"

are vital to successful trafic regulation.
n is the violation of these plain rea-
sonable provisions which lead to acci-
dents. Most of the cities have these
rules already, yet in this day OF ex-
tensiye tourist travel the failure OF the
few only adds to the general perplexlty
of the traveller.
The simplicity Of the model ordi-
nance Is sound safety legislation, clear,
concise, and yet all-inclusive In cover
ing the many problems OF munlclpal
highway tratic. 1t is good for any CITY,
large or small. 1t is not an experiment.
for Il is the best law of a thousand
cities and towns. shaped to meet the
needs of them all, and In practical use
right now by many of them. In snort,
II is an excellent drill manual for the
driver and a code of correct action Tor
the pedestrian. It is safety education
of a high order and when generally
adopted will play vital part in cut
ting down our most alarming automo-
tive fatality toll each year. This Is
confirmed by a study OF the loss rec
ords of the big casualty insurance COM
panies. which shows that the accident
hazard in cities with modern motor We
hicle laws is 25 per cent less than in
cities without modern laws.
Virginia First to Adopt Code.
In 1926 the Legislature of Virginia
was first to adopt the code. In 1927
and 1928 "a additional States fell In
line. Reports of activities in the re-
naming States looking to legislation
this year give promise OF further sub.
stantial progress toward the universal
adoption of the code. The District OF
Columbia so far has turned deaf ear
tn some of the provisions for moving
traffic and reducing accidents, as pre-
pared by the best traffic experts OF our
country.
washington, the Capital of the
United States. should itself be model
to visitors from the States. Some
neighboring motor vehicle officials have
ridiculed the District of Columbia
traffic code and claim it to be most
antiuuated. Adoption of the code is
urged by the conference as essential
to greater safety and trafflc conges-
ton relief. 1t is important that all
States and cities adopt it in order that
our laws regarding motor travel should
dovetail.
President Hoover said at the close
of the second general session OF the
conference: ut is not our purpose to
create here an additional organization
for safety, but rather to secure cooper
alton between the many agencies that
are working throughout the country to
that end. have conceived
the conference and the conferences that
will flow from 1t of this character, as
perhaps a new step in the varied con-
ception of government, not government
from central authority, but govern
ment by stimulation Of the local COM
munity to intelligent action"

FIRST AID CREW OFFERS
SERVICES AT ANY TIME
Deep Creek Organization Com
pIetes Course in Life Saving

Members of the operating Organiza-
ton of the associated Gas and Flee
trio system at the Deep Greek Power
station have just completed a course
in First Aid and have been certified
as such, according to c. E. MacMur-
ray chief engineer.
Training in the use of the prone
pressure resuscitation, use Of the in
hallator, etc, have been received by
the men and they are now competent
to work it and upon call crew will
go anywhere at any time of the day
or night, Mr.. MacMurray states.
"The inhallator is not a pulmotor
but gives the patient oxygen in a
natural way. The use Of this method
has been the means of saving many
lives. Anyone knowing Of a case of
drowning, carbon monoXide or gas
suffocation or Of electric shOckv will
get immediate aid by calling our plant
and asking for a crew to give aid. The
telephone number is Oakland 171-F-
3"
A treatment of the new Brazilian
Antivenim, an anti-venom for poison
Gus snake bites, is also being given by
the organization, and if used within
3 to II hours the chances Of saving
the patients life are said to be about
80 to l. Upon call a trained operator
will go anywhere in the county to ad-
minister this treatment.
I'VE trust that such occasions as
we have mentioned above will not
arise in our county," Mr.. MacMumay
said, "but if they do please call US at
once, as half the battle is prompt ac-
ton"

"CAP. 81" ALLEN, CIVIL WAR VETERAN, VISITING AT
MT. LAKE PARK, HAS HAD INTERESTING EXPERIENCES

Captain and Mrs. Josiah B. Allen
and daughter, of Athens, Ohio, are
visitors at Mountain Lake Park. That
statement in itself is, perhaps, not
remarkable, for there have been a
great many visitors there this sum
mer, but among the entire number
none has had a more interesting ca
reer than cap. 81 Allen, as he is
popularity known throughout the state
Of Ohio
Enlisting at the tender age Of II
in Company C, Both Ohio Regiment,
on July 4, 1861, on August /, of the
same year, he marched with his regi-
ment to Clarksburg, West Va, (then
Virginia) thus beginning his active
participation as a soldier in the Civil
war From Clarksburg, his regiment
marched to Weston, West Va, and at
Carney Ferry on Gauley engaged in
his first battle with Southern forces.
CoX's Division, army Of the Potomac.
In 1862 his regiment was ordered with
Cox's Division, Army Of the Potomac.
After his regiment had been moved
from place to place, including a march
from Hagerstown to Cumberland, he,
with his companions finally landed at
Manassas Junction in time to partici-
pate in the second battle of Bull Run.
At Bull Run he was assigned to the
9th Army Corps, Burnside's old di-
vision, commanded by General Reno,
Marching through Washington to
Frederick, Md, on September 18th, he
engaged in the battle of South Noun
tain, where his commander was killed.
On September 18th he was engaged
in the Battle of Antietam, where his
regiment sustained heavy loss, which
battle, for its length, was one of the
bloodiest of the war, $4,000 being
killed and wounded. 1t was a few
days after this fight that President
Lincoln reviewed the troops, when
