Deafness in Young Children

what stupid child that was in the
front row." commented Mrs. Jones as
she was talking with the boys teacher,
after visiting school for the afternoon.
isn't it hard to have such dull
children in your room?"
ooh I know who you mean" ex-
claimed the teacher, after showing her
bewilderment for a moment. Hes not
dull, he's only deaf, poor child. That's
bad enough"
Deafness often goes undetected in
babies or young children, because, of
course, it is a physical defect that
leaves no outward trace on the body Of
the victim. Only the very observant
mother realizes it if her child is born
deaf or acquires deafness early.
A recent survey of the deaf children
admitted to an institution brough out
some interesting figures. Over quar-
ter of the children admitted in one
year were deaf as a result of menin-
gifts. In almost a fifth of the cases,
whooping cough was responsible.
Measles came next as predisposing
disease, and scarlet fever fourth on the
list. Seventy-five per cent of these
children had become deaf before they
were five years old, and GA per cent had
been deaf since before they were two.
Obviously, there must be a great
many mothers who don't realize the
necessity of taking great care when
their young children are attacked by
acute infectious diseases. If all
mothers could be persuaded to isolate
other children in the family when an
infection has entered the household,
and to keep the convalescent child from
OVERRIDING, the after-infections resulting
in defective hearing or deafness would
be far less frequent.
One reason for the need of great care
in handling the child while he is suf-
fering from a "cold," or from one of
the acute infectious diseases of child
hood is that the transfer of disease
germs from throat to ear is so very
easy. The Eustachian canal in child
is wider and straighter than in an
adult. Inflammation set up by the
passage Of germs fom the nose and
throat to the ear often leashs to mas
told complications frightening word
mastoid, to any mother! And to deaf
ness in later years. An earache is so
often sign of Inflammation that it
should never be neglected
Deafness, more than any other de-
feet, results in making a child ap-
pear stupid. Many who are thought to
be billiards are discovered to be normal
children handicapped by poor hearing.
If the defect is not too great, a child
need not be separated from his COM
panions and put into a class planned
for children with severe handicap.

Rotary Club Seeks Action
To Remedy Slick Roads.

RotarianS WILDER Mattocks and Judge
VIM. j. Archer of Duluth were Ro-
tartan guests at last nights meeting OF
the Ely Rotary Club. Wilson Carlson
presided in the absence of President
Con. Haugen.
A. c. Anderson of Tower was the new
member introduced and the birthday
song was sung for Wilson Carlson The
Tower members reported the extremely
dangerous and slippery condition of
the road between here and Tower.
The club took cognizance of this fact
and Secretary Bolitho was instructed
to wire Commissioner Elsberg acquaint-
ing him with the condition Secretary
Bolitho sent him the following wire,
unanimously subscribed to by the men,
bers:
Highway between Ely and Tower in
very dangerous condition. Too icy for
safe driving of any motor vehicle. For
safety sake put sand on the road at
once. Do not delay"
The meeting last evening was in
charge of the Community Service COM
mittee of the club with Ed. G. Jones,
chairman. Mr.. Jones made a very
concise report on what Rotary Club
could and could not do of a public
nature but stated that the club could
stand behind any laudable project
launched by civic clubs.
George Somero gave extracts from
the survey prepared two years ago for
Bentley of Chicago with view to
getting more industries into the city.
George also stated that nothing more
was heard from the Bentley company
after the report had been submitted.
The report was very interesting and
contained a number of explanatory
statistics
A number of songs were sung under
the direction of Frank DiNino and to
music played by Peggy McMahan. The
secretary read several very assuring
letters from the district governor who
was here last week. The attendance re-
port showed Ely at the top with three
100 per cent meetings last month in
the 117th district. Two weeks from last
night the club goes to Virginia.

The primitive man met dangers
which were inevitable. We meet
dangers which are preventable.
Automobile accidents can be pre-
vented. In fact, all accidents can be
prevented. What makes the moral sig
nificance of this safety movement is the
fact that we can, if we will, eliminate
to very large degree the appalling
dangers of modern life.
We should realize and appreciate the
value of human being. Not all people
seem to realize or appreciate that.
The carelessness regarding human life
is the great trgedy that hangs over
human industry. Only recently has
there developed a regard for human
life, and we hope that this regard will
increase.
The motorist can help considerably in
solving this problem by driving care
fully, courteously and thoughtfully on
our highways.

On This Occasion
Continued from Page One)

in 1909, long before the party
sired by North Dakota malcon-
tents invaded this state and be-
came intrenched in the political
life of the commonwealth as
Farmer-Laborites. This also
was several years before our
governor was politically able to
discern the difference between
a mountebank and a we'll
meaning, upright citizen who
had the welfare of the state at
heart. Years, evidently have
not added to his knowledge.
We sincerely hope that Gov
ernor Benson was misquoted
and that he will publicly deny
the accusation credited to him
of defaming one of the best
governors this state has ever
had. Governor Johnson was
sincere in his act, feeling that
the best interests of Minnesota
was served by his action in
vetoing the tonnage tax" bill.
This bill at the time was pre-
pared by a group of retainer
seekers the same as now. The
late Clarence Miller, Joseph
Austin, John Saari, P. R. Vail
George r. Laybourne, and
Senator Pugh, fought against
the horde harrassing the min
ing interests and succeeded in
having, along with Governor
Johnson, the nefarious measure
squelched, even after down
state representatives had
passed it.
In recognition of the killing
of the tonnage tax" the Steel
Corporation built the steel
plant in Duluth, where thous-
ands are employed and which
meant much to the people of
the ranges and Duluth, and
consequently to the state. The
steel plant is a monument to
the then governor and legis-
lators, in addition to the monu-
ment erected by popular de-
mand to Governor johnson on
the capitol steps in ST. Paul by
the people of the state. We
are supposed to respect our
present governors and should a
monument be erected in later
years, it will needs be a group
affair with Benson, Jacobs,
Harris and Rutchik composing
the group.

BIG GAME, BUT SMALL PIcKINGs

Members of congress- who receive only $4,000
year plus various extras" equivalent to several
thousands of dollars year more, leaped with JOY
upon the suggestion of President Roosevelt that
they get after some of the richer people who have
used various legal means of cutting down their tax
payments.
For most people it is thrilling to 60 after big
rather than small game. There seems to be a hu-
man instinct which finds pleasure in discovering
faults or taking crack at those who appear to be
more wealthy or powerful than ourselves And for
members of congress such an expedition against
the "bloated rich has the added advantage of not
merely dspleasing comparatively few voters, but
even pleasing great many in the home districts.

tanned in taxes not collected in proportion to

of Chicago says they must leave the mill because
of health and housing regulations. If his decree

In the Washington column Senator R. r. (Ther
Robert) Reynolds turns out for those North Caro-

this week the following striking observation on
governmental economy
lone of the most hopeful signs is the fact that
our citizens are more and more realizing the fact
that increasing expenditures require increasing
revenue We cannot spend and economize at the
same time"
All, what a profound truth is contained in these
few words, and how simply stated. Contemplate
it! The more you spend, the more it takes. You
cannot spend more than you make unless you be-
gin to make more than you can spend. The way
to economic is-a pause to let it sink into econ
omize The fact is that it is a fact that -
But we disagree with Robert in a rather impor-
tant particular One of the most hopeful signs is
not "the fact that our citizens are and more
comprehending this fiscal axiom but that Robert
himself may have begun to take it in dimly. The
citizens have had no direct part in spending all
this money, but Robert has. And it was Robert

was coming from to pay the bonus:-
