~ ERLIN, August 6.-JeSSe Owens,
x the Buckeye blizzard, will take
back to Ohio soil enough
49, for Olympic oak trees to start
q new oak forest His final per-
formance in breaking all records for
200 meters under miserable conditions,
with rain soaked track, left the ath-
letes of 81 nations goggle-eyed with
astonishment.
Others have won three Olympic
firsts before, but never over such a
Notwithstanding path. The Ohio
Negro's flying feet ate up time and
turf. AS the United States added
three more victories from four events,
leaving the other nations far behind,
international babble centered around
Owens.
Ken Carpenter and Gordon Dunn led
Us forward in the discus throw, as
Earle Meadows of Texas, from the
University of Southern California, won
the pole vault in dramatic fashion
long after dark on lighted field.
But the big story of the Olympics
moves back to the name of Owens.
Weather Conditions Bad.
A FTER victory in the hundred me-
= ters and the broad jump, break
ing a mixture of world and Olympic
records, Owens faced his final stand
under weather conditions that were
all adverse. Heavy rains had soaked
the track. A cold, raw wind was no
help at all.
Dark clouds were lowering over the
field above the shivering hundred
thousand spectators as Owens left
the starters mark like shot from a
gun. Of to the lead. he looked to be
q dark streak of lightning. Still
travelling in his effortleSs style, he
pulled steadily away to finish in 20.7
seconds, seven-tenths of second
faster than the race had ever been
Sun before in the Olympics.
Meadows Scores in Vault.
THE second big feature Of the
- fourth day was Meadows victory
In the pole vault. The elimination
vaults started at 1890 in the morning
Hour after hour, with an interruption
for lunch, the vaulting went on,
stopped for an intermittent rain, until
finally, at pm, only Meadows and
Bill Seton of California and Dye and
Nishida of Japan remained.
Fifty thousand persons still were on
hand in the rain and darkness as the
lights flashed on. The bar was put at
q new Olympic height of IA feet, 3l4
inches. Meadows went over the soft,
treacherous runway to win as the two
japanese and Seton failed. It was
the first Olympic event to be con-
cluded long after dark, with the crowd
cheering the Japanese and whistling
for the Americans, having been told
that the whistle is the favorite Amer
lean cheer. Meadows final vault after
striving all day and part of the night
through rain and cold, was one of the
Olympics' finest performances.
San ROmani Beats Wooderson.
THE biggest surprise of the fourth
day was the failure of Wooderson,
star British miller, to qualify in the
$500 meters. Wooderson, three times
conqueror of Lovelock and the hope
OF the British team, was run down by
San Romani of Kansas, who came
from far behind after a slow earlier
pace to get a chance for the finals.
Beccali of Italy, winner of the 1900
ut Los Angeles, ran the best qualifying
race. The United States placed Cum
ningham, Venzke and San Romani in
the finals of the biggest and hardest
race Of all the Olympic games. They
will have tough job beating Beccali

Deafness To Sounds In Upper Tones
Early Sign Of Hardness Of Hearing

ciated with the sense Of hearing.
Hardness Of hearing usually APP
pears between IS and IS years Of
age, one OF the first signs being
lessened ability to hear sounds in
the upper tones. Perhaps the rea-
son that this Is the first symptom
is that the human being ordinarily
makes little use of his sense Of
hearing In catching the very high
tones.
That form OF hardness of hearing
In which the small bones involved
become locked by changes which
take place in the tissues is called
otosclerosis. Persons thus afflicted
hear better over the telephone or
with q hearing device because, In
this condition, the conduction Of
while that by air is lost.
There are many different the
cries as to the cause Of this con-
dition, but none OF them has yet
been established as the certain,
invariable cause. Almost all OBJ
servers are convinced, however,
that heredity and the constitution
Of the person involved are concern
ed In some manner. since this type
Of hardness Of hearing is apt TO oc-
cur In families.
There also Is some belief that
the digestion and diet Of the VIC
tim In some way may be related
to development Of the trouble. Al
the same time, 1t should be pointed
out that difficulties with digestion
and deficiencies In vitamins and
mineral salts cause a general lower
ing Of the condition of the body
and that any method Of treatment
that will improve nutrition Of the
tissues as a whole, and stimulate
them TO activity, Is likely to improve
their functioning.
The sense Of hearing Is one Of
those most susceptible TO the psy-
chology Of suggestion. For that
reason persons who are hard Of
hearing frequently try new treat
ments and feel that they have beer
benefited. only to discover later that
the benefit was almost wholly mag
mary.
| Added attention at q time when
one rs endeavoring to hear will en-
able him to hear many thingi
which otherwise may be missed.

PARENTS
Your
Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

One Of the menaces to yirility and
mental content Is satiatton.
Satiation, in case you have never
stopped 10 analyze 1t, means sur
feited. bored, enough Of everything
with nothing left TO whet the ener-
giles and ambitions.
Give the child everything he
wants, and you have vacuum. AS
nature abhors a vacuum. according
to physics, something must rush In
to fill 1t. What happens in the case
OF surfeit Is that the child begins
to think up something to satisfy.
Usually 1t Is something beyond his
years. Something he cannot deal
with, or rightly understand.
Besides there Is another danger.
That OF lethargy and a loss OF APP
petite, which. psychologically speak
ing, Is almost forse than stretching
himself into realms unknown.
Gallons Youth
Recently lady told me story.
She had flown from South America
to Washington. The ship was $4,000
feet in the air. 1t was night. The
full moon and the ship occupied the
sky. A few stars hung low. four
times as large as man pictures them
OH his charts. The passengers were
speli-bound. Lights out, they hung
close to windows to watch the nights
phenomenon. Near her sat lad.
He deliberately turned on his seat
light and opened a humorous maya
zine. Read through fairyland. Bored
stiff with the things that fascinated
people twice as old as himself. The
moon, the sky and the singing stars.
She asked me what was wrong. be-
cause all the others we're behaving
In a perfectly normal manner. In

I said that perhaps he wanted TO
pose, and still think 1t may have
been that. Youth loves to be thought
different. But she spoke or other
things he had done. so then ] ut

She thought so too, and asked what
should be done about this. She
cited case after case where young
people she knew were behaving abb

as she called 1t.

hospitalizing problem. The burden
Of providing hospitals and hospital
beds has increased out Of proper
ton with the increase In population
In the past three decades. People
are acquiring greater fondness for
disqualification; or should we say
they are less afraid OF hospitals
than they were formerly? Physi-
clans are cultivating the practice Of
sending patients to the hospital for
greater convenience In studying
and examining them, or for "ob-
servation" under expert attendants
and the various laboratory and
other facilities. Indeed. think hos
pital services are being greatly
abused by both the laity and the
physicians, and thorough investi-
cation OF the situation and bit Of

Hardness of hearing in old age
may be of two kinds. The distinc-
ton depends on whether the
changes that have taken place in
the tissues affect the middle or the
internal ear.
AS I have already pointed out,
the ear and the organs involved
in hearing actually include three
parts: The external ear, which is
everything outside the eardrum;
the middle ear. which includes the
eardrum and certain little bones
that help transmit vibrations from
the inner side of the ear TO the In
ternal ear: and. finally, the very
fine organs and nerve endings asso-
