S,unting for Deafness

Many deaf persons will so to no end of trouble to correct their de- feet. And the more bizarre the proposed remedy the more appeal ing it seems to be.
 One of the latest attempts at deafness cures is airplane stunting The principle, if there is any be- hind the idea. is that in stunting there is rapid change in altitude and in consequence q rapid change in atmospheric pressure.
 In the cases where sucb reme- dies might prove effective. there are instruments which can produce the same effects in a less sensa- tional. less costly and more con trollable manner.
 But - and here is the rub-fcw eases can be cured, though some may be helped. in this manner. Deafness is the end result of one or more of a variety of causes. The source of the difficulty may reside in the drum. ear bones, cochlea, or nerve structure.
 Necessarily intelligent treatment promising desirable results cannot be accomplished through stunting. It must be based on careful eXami- nation and must proceed along con | trolled lines.
 "The test of the puddin' is in the | catin'," .he old saying goes. And so it was in this instance. At the , Newark airport there recently was | carried through an experiment to test the effect of airplanc stuntinS ! on deafness
 Six adults, from about GO appii- cants, were selected for the test Their difficulties were as follows: one man stuttcred, another suffered middle car disease: two men and two women were deaf. After the flight the stutterer was worse off. So was the middle ear case, Those deaf showed no inn provcment whatsoever

Paddy the Beaver is not used to visitors. l mean. he is not used to having them visit his house. He is used to having them visit his pond. There are many visitors there. In deed, l know of no place that has more visitors than does the pond Of Paddy the Beaver. But Paddy'a house is out in the pond and it isn't often that he has q visitor there Once in great while a feathered acquaintance may alight on the roof of Paddy's house. Once in a great while Little Joe Otter swims out there. Billy Mink has visited it. But these visits have always been so far apart that Paddy is always very much surprised when visitor arrives.
 It happened one morning that Paddy and Mrs, Paddy were over ar the dam, looking it over. They have 10 inspect their dam every so often to make sure that 1herc arc no leaks in if. They had been very busy for some time, There had been some work to do and Paddy the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy are two people who never shirk. When there is work to do they do it, You sec, they know that 10 shirk necessary work might mean the loss of their home. If there should be a bad break in the dam, there would be no pond. Then their home would be exposed to all their enemies.
 Now. the eyes of Paddy and Mrs Paddy arc moi aS good Hs the eyes Of some of the other little people Their noses and their cars arc bet ter than their eyes. So 1t was that when Paddy happened to glancs over al their house in the water, h. failed to notice some one swimming close to It, However. when this some one began to climp up th. roof, then Paddy saw fm; but h. couldn't son well enough to tell who it was. Huh" said Paddy. "Wt have a visitor Now. I wonder where he came from, I didn't know that there were any other Beavers neal us."

mercies of company guard, who
acts as first-aid man in the place of

CHESTER, Pa. (By MaiD.-In
the Sun Ship Yards, in the boilers
and reamers' department, where
piece work was introduced, the men
slave at heart-breaking, dangerous
work in the bolters-up and can bare
ly make a living each week. The
punch shop is operating on the same
basis, the punch operators having to
turn out 300 holes per day to make
the rate. Riveters have been cut 30
to so per cent on their piece rate;
this affects the whole gang, includ-
ing the heater boys and holders-on.
Ship painters, who formerly welded
the red-lead brush, now spray the
paint from air-compressed nozzles.
This job is extremely unhealthy.
The Negro laborers in sixty-seven
departments do the rottenest kind of
work, such as cleaning out the huge
oil tanks where poisonous gas is al
ways present. The burners and weld
ers were recently cut in wages, and
the welders rebelled and walked out
of the plant in protest. Practically
every department, including the
pipe-fitters, Triggers, ship-fitters, ma
chinists, maintenance, bolier-makers,
clippers and caulkers, blacksmiths,
etc., are working under conditions of
extreme danger, speedup and low
wages.
Due to these conditions, rising
militancy is rapidly taking place in
the shipyard and the workers are
looking forward eagerly to the day
