Almost any infection may involve
the outer canal Of the ear. Under
such circumstances, it is necessary
to remove the infection and to pre-
vent its recurrence by the use Of
proper antiseptics which a physi-
clan can supply and which should
be used only after he has given
proper instructions.
There is a good rule in medicine,
namely, never put anything in the
external ear any smaller than the
elbow. The tissues are most deli
cate and may be seriously harmed
by the use Of wires, t0othpicks, ear
spoons or similar irregular or I'M
sterilized devices.
A scratch Of the lining Of the ca
nal may result in the formation Of
boil, which is exceedingly painful
and which is difficult to handle in
such an inaccessible part of the
body.

Cysts and Tumors MAY Affect Outer Ear

TINE outer ear differs but little
L from other external portions OF
the body in the things which may
disturb it. 1t may be the subject
Of small tumors which, of course,
must be removed if they show the
slightest tendency to growth or IL
ritation.
Sometimes cysts form which are
nonmalignant tumors, but which
continue to swell or grow as long as
the opening is blocked.
These should be opened and the
wall of the cyst removed, if there
is not to be a recurrence.
In erysipelas, the ear Will swell
to tremendous size. Obviously it
must be protected TO prevent break
ing down Of the tissue, due to swell
ing and irritation.
One of the most common forms
Of injury to the ear is what com
monty is called tin ear" Of the
pugiliSt. Repeated blows on the ear
result in the pouring out Of blood

SELL BEER WITH CLEAN HANDS

ROOTLEGGING gangsters must be smiling
~ today at the news that Indiana is plan
ming to make beer the object of political pa
tronage and thus open up opportunity for
graft and corruption.
Dry extremists also must be gleefu over the
black cloud Of scandal already rolling up over
the handling Of beer distribution.
They know that there is no more certain
way of defeating repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment and blocking real temperance re-
form than to have the politicians seize upon
beer for legalized racketeering.
1t is deplorable that the Democratic organ
izadon in this state seems to be planning to do
just this thing.
Tt was bad enough when the legislature per-
mitted hotels with mineral springs" to sell
all The beer they choose for 500 license fee
while other hotels were forced to pay thrice
that sum-
Even Hoosicrs of tender years must see
something odd in the fact that Thomas Tag
CART Democratic state committeeman, happens
to control the only hotel of any consequence
with mineral springs
NOW Paul Fry, Governor NIcNutts excise di-
rector, goes one step further He will permit
only importer Of beer to function in each
Of the ten excise districts.
This simply means that in the county of
Marion, which includes the big city of Indi-
annapolis, and which is in two districts, two
men viii control the entire business which is
done in brews made overseas or elsewhere in
the nation An enormous amount of cash will
pass through their hands.
Every sensible person knows what frequent
ly happens when a strong political monopoly
allows its henchman TO tap the till of private
business.
There may be another side of the picture
Perhaps Mr.. Fry has some good reason for his
action But if he has why did he not state
it? Why didn't he publicly announce his plan
and explain it, instead of allowing it to be-
come public only after vigorous newspaper in
vestigahon?
There is something strange in his conduct
unless his motive was one of conccalment.
Governor McNutt has done some excellent
things in his administration, but his handling
of beer is not one of them First, there we're
numations of delay in getting beer and now
it appears that licensing machinery is being
set up which will readily lend itself to eXtort-
ing money for political purposes from the pock-
cts of consumers, who always foot the bills.
It is time for the Governor himself to take
hand in this. It is time for him to an
nounce a rational honest and efficient plan for
the licensing and sale of beer
If he lodges this responsibility, he may find
himself checked in the midst Of very prom
Using career. Smaller matters have tripped up
bigger men.

M.

THERE are aspects of President Roosevelt's
plan for unemployment relief which lend
themselves to criticism, but let us remember that
the President is dealing with an emergency.
The all-important thing is to find work for
people. especially in such a way as will enable
them to take care of themselves.
Thirty dollars a month with board can not
be described justly as wages of ST a day. How
many common laborers have $50 left at the end
of month after they have paid for food and
lodging?
AS to the RECOMMENDATION" involved how
would it be possible for the government to put
100000 men at work in a short time without
adopting some such plan?
We have come to a point where ordinary
methods of providing work and recruiting labor
are impractical, and where it has become
necessary to deal with the problem in a drastic
way
Our failure to make effective progress in re-
ducing unemployment thus far can be traced to
lack Of comprehensive schemes. While a great
deal of work has been provided, it has, for the
most part been useless and while a relatively
high wage standard has been maintained in
theory, the practice of part-tine employment
actually has reduced the average pay to a very
low point.
a S an academic proposition the man who
"A gets IS a day for three days a week but
who has to pay his board, may appear to be
better off than the man who gets $50 a month
with board included, but why not let the man
himself decide?
There is nothing compulsory about the Presi-
dents plan. There could not be, for the simple
reason that it does not comprehend enough work
With the prospect of only 100000 jobs and with
six or eight million people unemployed how
could anything like CONSUMPTION be applied?
What the President has in mind is to give
comparatively few men a chance to work and
pay their way. Further than that he is en-
deavorlng to do so with the greatest possible
speed.
The fact that the army Will be in charge
does not mean mllitarsnl, but efficiency and the
| efficiency is designed to get operations started
rather than to force labor
| In an emergency such as We face. the all
important question is not whether plan of re-
lief is perfect, but whether it is the best that
can be devised, and the Presidents plan should
not be judged by what is desirable under normal
conditions, but by what is necessary under ex-
listing conditions. The best way to appraise it
is by thinking OF a better substitute.
IN other words, how could the United States
Il government put 100000 men at work within
six weeks or two months, keep them at work
! for one year, and not compete with private in
dustry, if some such plan as the President has
offered is not adopted?
! Where else could opportunity be found save
| in national parks and forests, and how else
could the task be handled economically and
efficiently save through employment Of the
army?
AS President Roosevelt pointed out in his
inaugural address, the situation is such that
the country must accept disciplined action for
its own good.

In some instances, it may be ad-
visabla for the surgeon to open the

permanent thickening and swelling.
1t sometimes is necessary to plan
the use Of bandages which mold

In addition to the diseases that
may disturb the outer ear, there
are disturbances which affect the

LIGHT ON SECURITIES

TN the midst of his efforts to reform bank

President has not forgotten the investor. His

His proposal is for something in the ma

upon full publicity concerning securities as
the chief public safeguard.

proposal would have been shouted down in

NEW DEAL TO BRING CHANGES


EVEN more interesting than the legislative
H measures now pending in congress, in
some ways, are the rumors Of legislation to be
asked IN the near future.
Washington seems to be full of these
rumors. The capital. evidently, has decided
that the present is a moment when anything
at all can happen and probably will.
Some of the rumors are trial balloons, some
are clever deductions. and some are outright
guesses; but their cumulative effect is tremen-
dous.
Thus We have one correspondent writing
that Mr.. Roosevelt's little cabinet"-the we'll
known brain trust" of professional advisers
Is drawing up plans to have the government
lease marginal coal lands and retire them from
production. just as the pending farm bill would

They thought the valley would grow
corn,
And that is why they stayed.
Where peaceful mountains cast on
them
A glamorous, cool shade.
But these were hard and merciless,
Yea, these were fallow lands.
The reapers came away from fields
With empty hands.
Their children We're like wild things.
Their women held the sigh,
OF wind in their old grooming,
And they were quick to die.
But they could never tear away
The roots that they had set,
In lands too beautiful TO leave
And leaving, to forget.
And they were nurtured from thin
soil
BY mOOnbeams in clear lines.
And shade, and peaceful mountains,
Apd wind among the pines.
