 Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine There is much more to the ear than appears on the outside of the head, although that is the part that is prominent and gives us lot of concern. Besides the external ear, there are what we call the middle ear and the internal ear.
 The external ear includes the part that Is on the outside and the small canal which runs down as far as the eardrum. It is a collection of skin and other tissue, such as car- tilage and muscle. In most human beings, the muscles are merely remnants of the large ones possessed by animals, 50 that few people are able to move their ears easily.
 There are really very few con- ditions affecting the external ear that are disturbing to the average person. Sometimes large portips of the ear may be absent at birth. Occasionally the ears project in an extremely unsightly manner. All these extraordinary appearances now can be controlled by plastic surgery. A competent expert is able to { fasten back the ear if 1t stick out, to rebuild an ear out of other tis- sue, and to modify the shape of the ear if 1t Is unshapely.
 Mary mothers believe that lop ears are caused by children sleep {, ing with ears crumbled under their heads, or wearing hats pressed down on their ears. There is no evidence, however, that these factors are really of any importance. The fault is one of anatomical development. Manipulation, and bandaging the ears to hold them against the head, will not correct such condition.
 Small tumors occasionally will de- velop on the outer ear. These may be removed if they show the slight est tendency to growth or irrita- ton.
 The ear may be infected by pimples or boils. or by an infection of the type of erysipelas, which causes it to swell to tremendous size. Such conditions should have the best available surgical treat n mt to prevent destruction and damage that would require plastic surgery for repair.
 
 One of the most common forms of injury to the external ear is the development of what the pugilist calls a "$n ear" Repeated pound-

except the items you simply must take along. Now there are fitted cases small enough to hold on your lap. Also suitcases of vari- ous feathers which are as light as airplane luggage.
 If she writes or does any kind of desk work at home, leather bound dictionary or small set of reference books will please. Nat urally, you'll have to know some thing of iler work or hobby before you send these. It would be a little ridiculous to offer books about butterflies to student of economics or English literature.
 Stationery in New Hues
 Colored stationery comes in for a revival this season. Smart shops are starring chartreuse,
 beige, gray and horscy A tones like saddle leather tan and jodpur brown.
 Monograms gen erally
 are done in a darker
 shade of the same color.
 Scarfs, blouses, sweaters and sport accessories come in for their share of holiday glory. From the new. fairly inexpensive printed challis blouses to- de luxe handsome French varieties, blouses are worth consideration. The sweater lover, especially if her income is limited, will dance with joy at the sight of a hand made, simple, British looking sweater.
 Practically no woman ever buys perfume for herself. She hopes and expects. to find some in the toe of her Christmas stocking. It's safer to send well-known brand. in scent that you know is popu- lar with most women, than to pick a strange odor. She may have penchant for perfume that smells like saddle leather or new mown hay or tulip bulbs, but, unless you know this definitely, avoid them. A safe bet is one of the new per- fume wardrobe kits, containing four or five small flacons of well known scents.
 Embroidery Stars on kerchiefS
 Handkerchiefs are more elab- crate. From petite ones to the 15-inch squares (often
 called Koh kerchiefs). they are finished with
 lots of embroidery and
 appliqued motifs. One N Fifth Avenue shop
 appliqued monograms. Other !ni- tials are surrounded by intricate embroidered designs. If she's an outdoors girl, you might send large squares of colored linen, printed with gay balloons. Neat white ones with appliqued horses in green or brown in the corners will please your friend who loves to ride. Ship-shaped monograms are for the nautical-minded.
 When all else fails or, if at the last minute, you discover you have forgotten woman you should remember, see the florist. New this year are Juliet caps of flowers with bracelets to match for formal evening parties. You can't go wrong on a corsage of gardenias or orchids either. How ever, if she is more of a stay-at- home than a gadabout. a hand some basket of tiny growing plants that will live all winter.

by the last congress. In addition to
the twelve million six hundred thou
sand unemployed adults there must be
taken into consideration their depend
ents, millions of whom are compelled
to exc out a precarious existence on
relief doles.
So far as the employed workers are
concerned, industrial employer re-
duced wage rates one cent per hour
during the last half of 1885 and in
creased the length of the average
work week three hours, which made it
possible to throw an additional million
workers into the unemployed army.
1t is plain that Mr.. Liggett limited
his the-depression-is over statement
to people who do not earn their living
by the sweat of their brow.
Undisputed figures reveal that in
the last half of 1885 the profits of one
hundred and twenty large corporations
Increased 141 per cent. A recent anal
ysis shows that stocks listed in the
New York Stock Exchange have in
creased in value thirty-one billion dol
lars during the last three years. Una
has thus hit stockholders who own the
nations industrial and commercial
life. But to declare 1.-The depression is
over" in the United States when we
have an army of over twelve million
six hundred thousand jobless work
ers vainly seeking employment and
their dependents suffering for the
comforts of life is an exaggeration not
based on the actual condition of the
people generally.
Such statement would be received
with applause at a convention of
stockholders, bondholders and busi-
ness men, but if made before an
audience composed of the masses of
the American people, including low
paid wage earners and the unemployed
army the enthusiasm would in all like
lihood not raise the roof.

THE TELEPHONE MONOPOLY
ON THE WITNESS STAND

The American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., better known as the A. T
& n, is on the stand before the
federal communications commission;
and isn't making very good showing
TO date, it has been shown;
That the A. I. & 7. pays its presi-
dent, Walter S. Clifford, 100000 4
year.
That the A. T. & T. cut down its
employment 80 per cent during tbs
depression, and its payrolls 26 pei
cent.
That operating revenues in the
same time dropped only 13 per cent.
That the number of operating sta
tions declined only 10 per cent.
That the average number of dali,
calls declined only per cent, and
That the A. T. & T. has paid divi

dends of So per share per year
straight through the depression.
In other words, the A. T. & T., the
biggest corporation in the world, is
following the regular corporation rule:
When anything goes wrong, take it
out of the workers. The A. T. & T.
was employing 10000 fewer work
ers in 1885 than in 1929. It's payroll
in the same time shrunk $139, 900, 900.
But the head of the corporation still
gets almost three times the salary
of President Roosevelt and the divi-
dends are not pared.
Let the investigation go on, to the
limit. The A. I. & I. already stands
convicted, from its own books, of the
same anti-social greed which has
marked lesser corporations, and
which, more than anything else,
brought on the depression. With so
informing a start, the full inquiry
should be enlightening indeed.

OVER FOR WHOM !?

Louis K. Liggett, president of the
United Drug Company, is optimistic.
He declares st il safe to conclude
that the depression is over" IN other
words, prosperity is here instead Of
just around the corner,
Evidently Mr. Liggett excludes a
very large number Of working men and
women from his survey.
According to the reliable estimates
of the American Federation Of Labor
there are now over twelve million six
hundred thousand able-bodied unem-
ployed adults in the United States,
three million FIVE hundred thousand Of
whom would be on relief rolls if they
did not have temporary Subsistence
