be sure that won't help the condi-
tion. The maintenance of partial
hearing through constant treat
ment is better than the develop
ment of complete deafness.
On the whole, miraculous re-
suits are rarely attained after deaf
ness develops. The organ of hear
ing is composed of highly special
lied tissue, which, if damaged,
rarely returns to its original state.
It would be wise for anyone who
notices that hearing is becoming
defective, to practice lip reading so
as to be prepared if the worse hap
pens.

nerve involvement may be from in
jury, such as a fractured skull, OF
constitutional disease as syphilis
These are only examples for there
are so many structures about the
ear whose involvement may cause
deafness.
The tendency of all ear diseases
is to get worse often irrespective
of treatment. This does not mean
that every case is hopeless, but it
does mean that no time should be
wasted on home treatment. Often
in a short while irreparable dam
age is done.
In the case then of any kind of
ear involvement don't procrasti-

by early treatment. In chronic dis

Abyssiniais disclaimer Of responsible
ity and its charge that Italians are

dents. DetachmentS are scheduled to
leave Sicily tomorrow for Eritrea and
italian Somaliland, Italy's colonies
lying to the east Of Abyssinia. These
forces will be dispatched with full
supplies of expeditionary equipment
and amid every indication that they
are embarking upon a war venture.
Rome estimates that by the end Of
the week $4,000 men will be en- route
to the African coast.
The rainy season is due in about
ten days. 1t generally lasts about
two months. If hostilities are to de-
velop, 1t is expected that war would
not come before May 1. Unless Great
Britain, France and others are in
league with Italy to permit Fascist
imperialism to have that free hand"
in Abyssinia, Of which so much has
been heard. the African rainy season
ought to be exploited in Europe for
peace-preserving purposes. 1t should
be utilized to pour cold water on
plans which appear at this long range
to denote a deliberate campaign of
aggression by strong military power
bent. in line with ancient but sup
poSedly discarded tradition, upon ag-
grandizing its colonial domain at the
cost of a backward and relatively de-
fenseless people. If II Duce really
goes to war with Abyssinia, it will
mean that the game of land-grabbing
has been restored to its old place

arts,

AS the Baltimore Sun puts it. that

accept the proposals held out TO her

or else to face not only isolation but
possible renewal in modern form OF

The definite understanding between

Indianapolis News. which observes as
to the other phases of the latest de-
velopmentS: Whether Germany can
be drawn into this or others Of the
series of pacts discussed as means
of assuring the general peace and
security of Europe is problematical.
The French. or at least the negotia-
tors in London. appear to have been
won over by the sense of security
afforded by this new agreement as
to aviation and to willingness to
scrap some Of the features Of the
armament provisions Of the Versailles
treaty that have been offensive to
Germany. Whether the dropping OF
these restrictions will be sufficient to
satisfy Hitler's views as to German
equality, and bring about a re-en-

Mystery Play.

The young people Of Washington, by
grace Of the Children's Theater of
New York, may see a mystery play
tomorrow morning. Miss Mabel Talia-
ferro and supporting cast are to
present 1.-THE Princes Secret" at the
National Theater, and the occasion
has an Importance all its own.~
All modern forms of organized en-
tertainment, historians Of the drama
say, descend from q common source
in the Middle Ages. Radio and movies,
pageants and stage productions of
every type, adult and juvenile alike,
are but latter-day aspects Of an in
stitution which hourished under the
protection of the church in the
medieval period Of Western civiliza-
ton. The word mystery" at that
time did not connote man-hunting
adventures as it does in the twentieth
century. Rather, it implied a spiritual
experience Of notable beauty and Joy.

| the smaller fishes went down the
drain before Hawkworth knew what
had happened.
It was too bad, Of course, but still
there were left plenty Of fishes for
the made-oyer tank.
There were, as q matter Of fact,
far too many. A newly set-up
| aquarium must go through a period
| Of readjustment, especially as to the
water, and the fewer fishes there are
present, within reason, the quicker
this adjustment is made. Some ex-
perienced fanciers even recommend
that planted tank stand a week or
two before any fish are introduced.
1t is unquestionably a fact that
aquatic plants co better for the pres
ence of few fish; that fish, in their
turn, do better for the presence Of
plants.
| Too many fish in a freshly made
tank, however, will needlessly COM
plicate the matter, especially through
the feeding problem. The beginner
| seldom realizes the concentration OF
the popular dry foods and the really
small amount that the fishes need
per day.
Mr.. Hawkworth placed the tank in
q position where it got little daylight.
Then, of course, the plants did not
grow.
And aquatic plants that do not
grow simply make trouble in an
aquarium.
Growth results in the giving off of
oxygen, which, in its turn, Is utilized
by the fish.
Plant growth demands carbon d.
oxide. which the fishes give of.
Without food assimilation, result
ing in growth, and the processes of
growth, the plants do more harm
than good.
Mr.. Hawkworth didn't know 1t,
however, until q friend told him
about it.
Then he put the tank in a position
where it got eight hours of sunshine
a day, when there was any sun, of
course. In week the plants looked
much better, and the owner thought
he had solved the lone big secret" OF
fish keeping
Nature, however, is not that easily
comprehended. Instead OF being one
big rule, with her, there are a multi
| tude of little rules, which, taken to-
gether, make up her wonderful inter-
locking directorate.
When Hawkworth gave his plants
too much light they did finely, but
the water went green" That is one
| - AT1k -
! He still was putting in too much
| food, which, dissolving in the water,
after a time, would have polluted 1t
unless Nature had created any num-
Der of almost invisible algae, Of the
so-called free-living sort.
These helped dispose Of the surplus
food, but they made the water SO
green that the spectator could no: sec
the fish.
Mr.. Hawkworth decided on some
more angel fish.
He thought guppies would look we'll
with them. so he put in half dozen.
The next morning the angels, de-
spite their popular name, had eaten
all but one of the guppies.
He put in a jewel fish. because he
liked its colors, and by the next
morning the creature had killed all
the angels.
Who started this tropical fish fad,
anyway" he asked.
/ That evening the maid left the
window open, thereby proving anew,
at the expense Of the unhappy crea-
! lures. that temperature must be
watched in this game.
Now Hawkworth has gone back to

Protests Buying Busses
From Street Car Funds

To the Editor or The Star:
I am making a protest on account
of the bus sale Of the Washington
Rapid Transit Co. to the Capital
Transit Co. 1t is not too late for
Congress to amend the law which
compels the Capital Transit Co. to
purchase the Rapid Transit Co.
If that is done, the money which
has been earned through the thou
sands of patrons-who are daily rid
ing by a large majority on the street
cars instead Of the busses-then the
money can be used to a very great
advantage by not only purchasing
more street cars, like those that are
now being used on the Chevy Chase
and Fourteenth street lines. Not one
man cars which are not much good
in the rush hours. Also by changing
all the many cane-seated cars for
nice leather cushioned ones.
All street car revenue should be
kept separate from the bus revenue,
and any needed improvements should
be paid out of each. In other words,
why should the money that Is earned
by the street cars be used for keeping
up the buses, either purchasing new
ones, or anything, in fact, outside Of
for street car overhead?
If the street car patrons were
treated fairly, they would have new
cars, plenty OF them, and the older
ones made over or dismantled. Then
they would be getting better service
and the future would be looking lots
brighter. But If you are going to let
the street car riders pay for all the
new busseS and eventually cut down
the use of street cars and finally use
only busses, my own personal opinion
Is that IN the years to come the trans
portation problem here will be a
sorry one. and people too poor to buy
autos will be walking again. Why?
Because the streets will be such that
no one will be safe-too many auto.
