DEAFNESS is LAID
TO COMMON COLD
Hearing Of 10000 900 Amer
| leans Impaired, biologist
Tells Conference.
~ the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Avoid the COM
mon cold If you wish to escape becom-
ing hard Of hearing.
This message for good ears, coupled
with one to the 100000 Americans
already impaired in hearing. was de-
livered to the Medical Society Of the
State Of New York by Wendell G. Phil
lips Of New York.
DR.. Phillips, former president Of the
American Medical Association, talked on
"What the Community Should Know
About the Hearing Problem"
5000, 700 Children Suffer.
"In the United States" he said, "at
least 10000, 900 are victims Of some i'm
pairment of hearing. At least 3,000,-
600 children of school age are victims.
The medical solution lies very largely in
two directions.
First, public education regarding
hearing. Second, public education re-
garding maintenance of personal health
at its highest efficiency. Learn that
deafness Is not disease, but a symp-
tom of many kinds Of abnormal ear
conditions. Take the terror of it out
Of your minds.
1.-The greatest single enemy OF good
hearing, in all probability, is the COM
mon cold biologists are agreed that
colds when accompanied by infections
of the nasal sinuses are among the
basic causes of chronic progressive deaf
ness.
Gives Causes TO Colds.
1.-THE over-tirtd person who gets little
exercise, who lives in badly ventilated
rooms, who wears clothing too heavy
for the weather, who snatches hasty
meals. who gormandizes or Is under
nourished-he is the person who catches
cold easily"
"It is perfectly possible to build up
this resistance to the common cold.
Many persons have done so. The dan
ger to hearing through colds lies in the
possibility of spreading infection"
Another great source OF poor nearing,
he said, especially among children, is
neglect of conditions following illness.
Especially is this true of measles, scar
let fever, whooping cough, chicken pox,
nlumps and diphtheria.
Parents need not despair, he said,
"when informed that child has slight
but irremedial hearing defect. We otol-
ogiSts know that, provided we can get
the children in time. we can frequently
improve conditions SO the hearing level
Is raised"

"Of course, it devolves on con-
gress to determine what leglsla-
ton it wishes to enact as to the
control of the liquor traffic and
the protection of the states that
wish to remain dry"
The code, Mr.. Roosevelt eX-
planned, will serve until perma-
nent legislation is passed by con-
gress. At the same time he point
ed out that no limitation was
placed on state regulation, adding
that it "seeks to eliminate abuses
of liquor traffic and the evils OF
bootlegging."

WASHINGTON REMAINS
NON. ON ISSUE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S (UP)
The United States is not dlscloS.
ing at this time what action, II
any, it may take with regard to
the Pacific islands inundated to
Japan by the League of Nations,
it was made plain by state depart
ment officials last night.
The issue is regarded as highly
controversial and one on which
the most eminent legal authorities
on league matters are in disagree
ment. The question of the future
of these inundated islands in view
of Japan's secession from the
league, is one which has been I'M
der study by experts here for
many months. but so far as is
known no decision has been
reached
The intimation by league Off
Gals in Geneva that the United
States might be expected to pro-
test Japan's continued rule over
the islands was viewed here as a
leading question which might
be directed toward obtaining q
definite commitment by this coun-
try as to its future intentions:
This the state department refused
to give.

fair competition for the distilling
industry. Of course, it devolves
on congress to determine what
legislation it wishes to enact as
to the control of the liquor traf-
fic and the protection of these
states that wish to remain dry.
But in the meanwhile it is hoped
that the signing of the code will
prevent the confusion and uncer-
tainty that would necessarily arise
between the actual legal repeal of
the amendment and the passage of
appropriate legislation by con-
gress in consequence thereof.
"While the industry has not yet
formally signified its assent to the
code, we have the assurance from
the leaders of the industry of their
earnest desire to cooperate in
every manner possible with the
government during the emergen-
cy.
"The code will be effective and
control the industry until such
time as congress shall pass suit
able legislation for permanent
government thereon.
"This code in no way limits the
authority of the several states to
regulate the methods of sale of
intoxicating liquors, but seeks to
eliminate abuses of liquor traffic
and the evils of Bookkeeping"

ON PUBLICITY.
IS EMPHASIZED
Directorate in November
Session Commends Rar-
den for Work Here

Meeting Monday night in the
offices of the Chamber of Com.
merce, with President Milo Strong
presiding and Secretary Noah
Hollowell making his monthly re-
port, the directors Of the organi-
zation gave some time to routine
business and additional time to
special matters.
The directors adopted a resolu-
ton approving the suggestion of
Mayor A. V. Edwards, previously
made public, that no Christmas
evergreens be placed on the
streets this year except in cases
where merchants are willing to
place Christmas trees and keep
them decorated.
The C. w. A. program for the
county was given consideration
with the view of suggesting work
projects to the authorities. No
formal action was taken on any
proposed project.
Several important matters con-
nected with development work in
this section were considered, but
none of these have reached the
stage when Che directors think it
advisable to make public the de-
tails.
One fact brought to the fore by
Secretary Hollowells report for
eleven months of the present year
was that more than a hundred dol
lars a month has been expended
for advertising of Hendersonville
and the section. The amount. in
fact, runs to around thirteen hun
dred dollars for the period of II
months. This includes newspaper
advertising, local and foreign, bill
boards, printed matter and other
forms of advertising. This fact
was stressed by the directors in
view of the criticism some times
voiced against the organization
that its overhead expenses absorb
all its income, leaving nothing for
promotional work and advertis'
ing.
President Strong accepted the
resignation of John Rarden as
chairman of the organizations
publicity committee. Mr.. Rarden
attended the meeting to present
his resignation, stating that he
had resigned as manager Of the
Skyland hotel and will remove to
Asheville. Mr.. Rarden expressed
great regret that this business
move will take him away from
Hendersonville. The directors
adopted, unanimously, resolutions
commanding Mr.. Rarden for his
interest in local affairs during his
residence here and for the eff
cient work done as member and
