The Blind and the Movies

A blind man in n southern city recently went with n
friend to a moving picture theatre. TO kill time during
n wait between trains. The blind man. naturally. could
not sec the pictures. but he could enjoy tho sound ef-
iects and rs his friend occasionally whispered a brief
description Of the scenes he was able to enjoy his visit.
what we wish to record here. however. Is that the
theatre manager refused to accept the blind mans
money: and following OH this incident. all OF the moving
picture theatres Of that particular city passed a rule
providing that \ blind person could be admitted free IL
he were accompanied BY a friend who could see. And IL
occurs to us that this Is a good idea, which deserves
copying. II would not cos! the theatre people anything
apprcciable, rs the number 81 blind persons who would
take advantage Of It would be small: and It would oc-
caslonslly bring TO = blind person a bit Of recreation

Will Durant Picks a Greatest Poet

VIII Durant has picked Walt Whitman an the great.
est American poet. Not only that. but he calls Whit
man the greatest poet OF the modern age and the great
est singer Of all the democracies of the world.
That Is "a very grand list of titles. and VIC hope that
Whitman deserves all Of them; but Whitman IL not a
popular poet. In the sense Of appealing to the crowd. II
may be doubted II even the more Intellectual Americans
Will accept Mr.. Durant's choice with any degree of unani-
nifty. Perhaps. If n cross secion should be taken Of
American sentiment IN this respect. u would bic found
That most Americans are old fashioned and still want
their poetry served up to them In Victorian style.
There Ii Just as much room for craftsmanship in this
matter AZ there Is In politics. Even II the choice should
be restricted to America. there arc Longfellow, Lowell
and Poe to be reckoned with, Even In this modernistlc
age. each In his turn has been described by ~partisans
as Americas greatest.
u In. however, true. NJ Mr.. Durant says. tina. Whit
man brought n revolution In the hiStory OF literature:
but that revolution. like tho Russian political upleaval.
has brought on - great train OF counterfeit imitators.
Their combined yaup has drowned out for the time tho
resonant voice OF tho original singer. who boosted that

One Of the interesting stories Of the winter is tho news
that The governor of New Mexico has appointed Witter
Eynncr, poet, To his official staff with the rating OF
colonel. i
All governors. 20 far as We know, have these official
stats, and most Of them honor various prominent citi-
zens In their respective states by making officers out OF
them: but this Is the first time. to our knowledge. that a
poet mas been so honored. It looks like a good idea.
OF course, not every state has a poet worthy OF the
rank OF colonel. The modest gold bar Of a second lieu
tenant would be ample for the run Of mine versificr, ana
there are some who would have to be content with a

factor in cutting these maintenance costs. according to

EARACHES MAY E
DEAFNESS

Many cases Of deafness are I'm
doubsedly due to the neglect OF ear
troubles which at the time may seem
trivial Or only Of short duration. Ear
aches often forecast deafness. An
earache is an indication Of inf1am-
nation OK infection in the middle ear.
When the acute attack is over, it is
often followed by . chronic low grade
infection which may eventually pro-
duce deafness.
The middle . communicates
with the noee through the eustachian
tubes, and an earache Is nearly al
ways an indication that the infection
has closed up the tube into the mid
die al This is one Of the reasons
why such diseases as measles, scarlet
fever. diphtheria and typhoid are so
often complicated with earache. Sore
Threats and tonsil infections may also
spread along this tube. Sometimes a
person viii actually force the infec-
ton into the tube through violently
blowing the nose or sueezing.
A middle ear infection is accom-
panied by q sharp aching feeling Of
fullneSS in the head, ringing in the
ears, and often some fever. Pressure
behind the ears generally increases
the pain. Occasionally the ear drum
will be ruptured and the pus dis
charged. IN some cases the infection
may spread from the middle ear back
to the mastoid cells in the promi-
hence just behind the ear. The con-
dition then becomes much more seri-
ous.
In order to lessen the danger of
earache 1t is a good plan to place the
patient on al acid fruit fast, using
any one kird of acid fruit during the
day. preferably the sour fruits which
do not certain much sugar. The pa
tient should also be encouraged to
drink plenty of water and should take
enemas and sweat baths; in fact. try
to open up the channels of elimina-
ton all over the body. This will as

the mucous membrane which CON-

cells. Hot packs placed owe the ear
and over several inches of the region

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
GRENFELL'S BIRTH

On Feb. %, 1865, Sir Wi,fred Gren-
fell, an English medical missionary
famed for his work in Labrador. was
born in Cheshire, England.
Educated at Marlborough and OK
ford, where he took the degree Of M.
D., Grenfell studied at the London
hospital under Sir Frederick Treves.
At his suggestion Grenfeu joined the
Royal National Mission for Deep SEES
Fishermen and for three years cruised
with it In the North Sea as medical
missionary.
In 1892 he went to Labrador as first
medical missionary and there did
great work building hospitals, estab-
fishing homes and missions Tor the
inhabitants, and organizing industrial
schemes. He did similar work in
northern Newfoundland.
In 1912 King Geroge opened the
Seamen'S Institute at st. Johns. In
the same year the mission, by the
uniting of its English, American and
Canadian branches, became the In.
ternational Grenfell association, of
which Grenfell became s~uperintend-
ent.
During the World wal he was at
tached as major to the Harvard sur
gical unit in France.
