London, Aug. 29- (UP)-Primt Minister Neville Chamberlain tolc the House of Commons today that he could mot say that the danger of war has receded."
 The house was packed by mem. bers and spectators. Members were sitting in both side galleries because there were not enough regular benches.
 Chamberlain was cheered as he began speaking.
 The situation in Europe has changed little since last Thursday s meeting, he said, and there has been no change in the policy of the gov- ernment.
 Chamberlain said that it was more than ever necessary to urge the press to observe the utmost restraint.
 In connection with published ar- ticles purported to give a transcript of the British note to Adolf Hitler, Chamberlain said they were "an in- vention from the beginning to the end"
 Chamberlain. in the explanation of developments, pointed out his fears that few "thoughtless words in a newspaper might wreck the governments efforts to obtain a sat- isfactory solution of the European situation.
 We made plain that our obliga- tions to Poland had passed into for nal shape by the agreement signed on August 25," Chamberlain said in reference to the new and sweeping British alliance. We made 1t plain our obligations would be car- ried out.

Upon reflection, he realized that
South might have the clubs in shape
but no protection in hearts, especial
ly since he had the two top honors
there himself. He thereupon bid g.
Hearts, just music to the ears of his
partner, who then bid 3-NO trump
because Of his club stopper, and
made it easily.
The 3-Heart bid with only three
cards was not as dangerous as it
might sound. South would be sure
to know the suit wasn't over four
cards long, since North bid his dia-
monds first. Therefore if South
raised the hearts, he would have at
least four, so North would take a
chance on the suit breaking. North's
acumen produced a game not in
sight by any other sound tactics.

North bid diamonds, East 3-Clubs,

North now was in decisive situa-

but hardly any likelihood that the
side could take enough tricks to
make five-odd for minor game. He
felt that the side had about enough
stuff" for a 3-No trump try, but
that it was not safely placed unless
South could stop the clubs. Lacking
any club shoppers himself, he could
not dare try no trump bid at this

Possible for Deaf

hearing and also whether any hear
ing aid should be recommended. A
certain level of deafness (techni-
cally a loss in excess of 25 decibels)
should call for hearing aid.
The common cause of chronic
deafness is so-called catarrhal ear
disease. In this form the deafness
is chronic and progressive and ac-
companied by head noises. 1t is
probably due to a progressive hard
ening of the bones and tissues Of the
middle ear.
Remarkable Work
Some of the most remarkable
work l have seen has been done on
patients of this kind who had an
artificial hole made from the outside
of the temporal bone into the mid
die ear. This allows the current of
air to move in and out and there is
opportunity for breaking of adhe-
sions and loosening the tissues
which have become hardened.
Today the deaf patient can get
attention and a certain modicum of
relief. 1t is true that the situation
is often discouraging and little or
no improvement occurs even in the
best of circumstances. But at least
the deaf patient is in better posi-
ton than he was 25 years ago when
not only nothing was known but
very little interest was displayed in
his plight.
