When your voice gets hard and husky. you are like
y to suspect that you are catching cold. and prob
ably most Of the time you win be right. But there are
many other causes OF hoarseness, and II the huskiness
persists you should have an examination to find out
whether any other factor may be the cause.
Our ability to talk is one Of the features that dis
tinguish human beings from lower animals.
The habit Of talking in a well modulated voice
with proper information and emphasis represents In
many cases training and proper study OF the use OF the
voice. A soft voice with suitable emphasis when re-
CURED Is a most valuable factor In gaining worldly
success.
Hoarseness may o on any time in life. A baby
may become hoarse almost Immediately after birth
due to some c~ongenital infection.
As the child gets older, sudden hoarseness may be
brought about by diphtheria or other infectious dis
eases, and may also be associated with small grcwths
which may develop on the vocal cords.
Hoarseness may occur In girls I'm association with
hysterical symptoms and after ~laryngitis.
Grownup people most frequently get hoarse follow
ing prolonged use Of the voice. This follows particu-
larry speaking for long periods Of time. Business men
get hoarse after long conferences associated with in
temperate eating. drinking and smoking.
When the vo"ol cords are examined under such cir
cumstances. they are usually found to be thickened
and congested. A rest will give lie cords q chance to
return To normal.
Singers who use the voice too freely over long periods
or times sometimes develop small nodules on the cords
which win bring about hoarseness.
The most serious causes OF hoarseneSs are cancer
and tuberculosis Of the vocal cords. A hoarseness
which persists demands an immediate examination as
to the presence OF one or both OF these conditions.
Seen early. the cancer may be removed s~urgically
or treated with radium. and in many instances with
success. tuberculosis OF the throat. II seen early may
be amenable to the usual method Of treatment OF tu-
berculosis, and sometimes may be cured by the direct
application Of the ultraviolet rays.
Hoarseness also win be brought about by an injury
which damages the nerves that control the muscles
OF the larynx and thereby the vocal cords Chronic
rheumatic conditions. tumors. poisoning by lead and
arsenic. operations which may damage the nerves.
and many other factors may be responsible for this
condition.

York and the Dayton Electric Light
a. Power Company.
Mr.. Cooke welcomes their c1cpera-
ton. His theory Is that the govern
ment will finance only 10 per cent
Of rural power construction. and that
private utilities will underwrite the
other 80 per cent. But he figures that
his loans and his 3 per cent inter-
est rates on the 10 per cent total
will determine costs and rates for the
ether 80 per cent.
Tardy-Preliminary mistakes In
framing state statutes to conform
with the federal Social Security law
reveal that local lawmakers must
exercise extreme caution. They can
benefit from the experience OF au-
thors OF the District of Columbia

tionwide model.
The federal law s.-ys that unem-
ployment compensation shall be e.
fective only in a shop where there
are eight or more employees. It also
provides that states may lever the
total Of workers affected in accord
with local needs. But ID OF g lawyers
soon discovered that application OF
the law &c employers Of eight or more
would bar thousands OF employees
from the laws benefits. They have
found it necessary to apply this pro-
vision TO employers Of "cne OK more
persons
