Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

A N ailment about which you should be informed,
N particularly in the colder months, is acute in
lection Of the ear. which usually is preceded by
head colds or tonSnitiS. Such acute infections of
the ear come frequently as complications OF measles
and scarlet fever.
In most instances the infection passes from the
back Of the nose TO the internal ear by way of the
EuStachian tube.
First symptom usually is pain in the ear and in
some cases this is the only symptom. 1t must be
remembered. however. that pains in the ear also
are found IN connection with presence of boils in
the ear canal.
Sometimes a pain in your ear may be associated
with an interrupted wisdom tooth and Inflammation
Of the joints of the jaw and severe tonsilitis or an
infection Of the Sinuses around the nose.
THE doctor makes up his mind as TO the presence
Il Of an acute infection of the ear by taking the
temperature. which usually is high in these cases.
However, special examination in such cases of
acute infections of the ear are made by direct in
spection Of the eardrum. using a magnifying device
and a light. This device is called an otoscope,
meaning a device for seeing the ear.
IN most cases. a physician called to such a case
Il and making a diagnosis Of severe infection with
in the ear will arrange to open the eardrum prompt
ly. This not only relieves the pain, but also makes
it less likely that the infection will spread to the
mastoid.
Sometimes the pain may be relieved in the early
stages by dropping into the ear some warm ear
small per cent of phenol
Strength Of this solution is, of course. to be deter
mined by the doctor in charge Of the case. Some
times mere application of heat to the ear brings
relief.
II the condition spreads into the mastoid. mas
toiditis develops and constitutes a much more seri-
Gus condition than infection Of the internal ear
alone.

Today's Science
BY DAVID E

NX7HEN the cold winds blow from the north and
' nature blankets the ground with snow and
the lakes and streams with ice, the familiar animal
life of the summer season disappears. Only a few of
the familiar birds remain in the north during the
winter months.
What happens to animal life in the winter? Aus
tin H. Clark, the distinguished biologist of the
Smithsonian institution undertakes to answer the
question for us.
Some of our birds, as the common robin, 90 only
a short distance southwark; into the southern states,
where the winter is less severe than it is in their
northern homes" he says.
Others, like the swallows and the warblers. 90
farther, to central and northern South America and
the West Indies. In the West Indies in the winter,
in the heat and brilliant sunlight of the tropics and
among the palms, bread-fruit, and many other
equally unfamiliar plants, and along the white and
glarlng coral reefs, it is an interesting sight to see
several of our familiar northern birds apparently
just as much at home as they are with us.
For instance, our ~kingfsher is a well known and
common bird in the West Indies and about the
bushy hillsides and the gardens of those islands our
redstart is not at all uncommon"
n n n
ONLY a few mammals can migrate after the
fashion of birds, DR.. Clark says. Some of the
bats go south in winter, and in the early days the
buffalo in the east withdrew from the northern por-
ton OF its range into the southern states.
Most of the mammals stay more or less at home
IN winter, ne says, although they may wander
widely in their search for food. Many of them, like
the bears, the woodchucks, most of the wild mice. the

Began With a Fanfare

TINE hotel association began its letter to us with
Il a statement of its answering devotion to the
letter and spirit of NRA and then went on to depart
utterly from the intent of the collective bargaining
clause. Twice in its letter the hotel association re-
ferred to the Amalgamated Food Workers as being
under "the misguided leadership OF outsiders" 1t
spoke in favorable terms of another labor organi-
zation called the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant
Guilds.
Now let's see what the act says: Employees shall
have the right to organize and bargain collectively
through representatives of their own choosing and
shall be free from the interference, restraint or
coercion of employers of labor or their agents in the
designation of such representatives or in Self-or-
ganization or in other concerted activities for the
purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid
or protection"
ployment shall be required as a condition of employ
ment to join any company union or to refrain from
joining, organizing or assisting a labor organization
of his own choosing"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-13
The Language of the LGW

Nov, if legal language is anything like plain, or
~ binary language that law says that no en-
ployer has a right to try to sway the choice OF the
workers in regard to the particular Setup OF organ
ization they desire and the particular leadership
they want TO follow. The workers in any code have
a right to 60 even to the ends of the earth to choose
their spokesman.
Misguided leadership of outsiders say the hotel
men IN their proclamation. I assert that this is an
attempt to deceive the public. I assert that it is
very far outside" the spirit of NRA.
I would like very much TO hear an official rul-
ing as to whether it is not also outside the letter
of the law. That probably would boil down to a
definition of coercion" and interference" If 1
were a hotel worker and had not yet made up my
mind what organization to join and I reao a big
advertisement of the employers condemning one
group and applauding another I think I might just
possibly get the idea that the bosses were trying to
sway my judgment. 1t is. as you might say. a
strong hint. Maybe even a judge would call that
interference"
Since Donald R. Ricnberg is general counsel for
the national recovery administration, 1 think he
erred greatly in attending a dinner at a hotel where
a strike is in progress.

Offices handiest handy-man, Nor
man became acquainted with a
young lady in Milwaukee and
soon proposed immediate mar
riage.
Norman visited the young lady
one weekend, a weekend the
prospective bride was leaving Mil
waukee for Chicago, where her
office had been transferred. In
stead, she and Norm came
through to indianapolis.
The bridegroom-to-be was COW
ering the federal building at the
time, and, not letting pleasure
interfere with business, left details
of the license to friends while he
stayed at the federal building and
produced a scoop, in the form of
an interview with the then post
master, who urged that postmas-
tiers be given the duty of dis
pensing liquor for the govern
ment. That was before repeal.
1t was at this time that Nor
man became the victim of a
practical joke. Some of his
friends concocted a fake wire
story, with a Milwaukee dateline,
announcing that a Milwaukee girl,
the future Mrs. IsaacS, was the
object of a search by police, her
parents fearing she had been kid
naped by gangsters. 1t related
that she started for Chicago but
had not arrived there.
BY devious means, the jokers
ran the story through a wire
service teletype machine, and
slipped it into The Times news
copy. The news editor at that
time, not recognizing the girls
name, printed the story. It was

Norman originated and popu-

column, "Of the Blackboard"
Running a column provides the
writer with lots of experience.
For one thing, it taught Norman
not to make rash bets. One year
he picked Martinsville. A fan in
sisted Muncie had the basketball
championship cinched.
Blackboard let himself be goaded
into a freak wager, whereby the
loser would trundle the winner
around the circle in a wheelbar-
row. Muncie won on Secrist's
throw in the last fifteen seconds.

Norman also dabbled around a
bit in baseball. One of the pitch

catch him bare handed.

caught the speed artist bare

While in high school, he re-

more money from his correspond

For a time, after a brief and

ONCE on a country road the driver pointed out
~ TO me the private estate of a gentleman who is
the lord over a chain of hostelries. 1 looked at the
place with interest. BY doing a quick sum in men,
tai arithmetic 1 decided that 1 had just about
shingled the gentleman's barns through my quarters.
And since the members of the hotel-patronizing
public are paying partners. I see no reason why We
should be silent oneS-the recent decision Of the
Waldorf management to the contrary. Since we
pay the walters, we ought to have some say in de-
Gliding what sort of walters we want. If we have a
definite repugnance against strike breakers I think
we should be allowed to say just that and act
accordingly.
Moreover. 1 am very mitch worried that our part
nerS-the hotel keeperS-are not getting the best ad-
vice, either legal or literary. Before issuing another
proclamation I wish they would find some one who
knows the difference between infer" and imply"
and it might also be a good idea to consult some
body who has read Section IA of the national re-
covery act all through. Mrs. Gilmore NJ. Herrick of

make us partners in their bust
ness. We do not share in divi-
dends or any kind of profit, but
We have been allowed TO take on
the burden of paying a consider
able proportion of the salary of
many hotel workers.
In the case of walters, bell
boys and doormen our contribu-
ton is much larger than that of
the employers. The hotel code
itself by its wage provisions in
dicates an admission of the fact
that no waiter could possibly
maintain himself except through
the tips which the public is ex-
Dected to offer. The hotels do
