Deafness Can Develop
In The Throat

Of childhood may leave an infec-
ton in the middle ear as a residue
or sequel-measles, scarlet fever,
Influenza and meningitis are par
tieularly dal. serous in this re-
spect; whooping cough less so.
The canal of the external ear
can be affected so as to cause deaf
ness in childhood. Boils or plugs
of wax are the commonest forms
of such obstruction.
In the care and prevention of
deafness in childhood much can
be done. Every discharging ear
should have careful and adequate
treatment. During and after one
of the infectious diseases, daily in
spection of the ear drum should be
made, and early incision instituted
if pus forms.
Vitamin D
The deafness should also be
assessed by means of functional
tests. For school and educational
purposes defective hearing should
be recognized early, and special
attention given to child so handi-
capped-by having the child sit in
the front seat in the class or pro-
vided with an electric hearing de-
vice. l emphasize this apparently
obvious step because too often
small degrees of deafness are not
recognized in children, and the
child's backwardness in class is
laid to stupidity.
If the existent deafness appears
to be progressive, every possible
focus of infection should be eradi-
Gated and the cleaning out of all
infected tags of adenoids insti-
tuted. Elimination and diet, espe-
clally the intake of Vitamin D,
should be supervised.

Ex-Pus Seen In
Riviera Film

Appearance this week on the
screen of Tom Kennedy. former
fighter and boxing promoter. In a
comedy role in The Long Shot, :"
thrill packed drama of the racing
game. supplies another definite
proof that not all of the ex-
fighters become "punch-drunk' or
need financial aid In their later
years. kennedy's first boxing was
done in the u. S. navy, where he
attained the rank of Atlantic fleet
champ in the heavyweight divi-
sion. Turning to professional
ranks. he won seven and lost three
battles before meeting Jack john
son. The lacing he got from Jack
convinced him that he preferred
other branches of the business,
and he became a fight promoter.
After the World war. In which
he served with both the French
and American armies. he resumed
promoting and came TO Hollywood
to stage fistic battles in the Holly
wood bowl.
Another sports figure seen in
the same picture is Gordon Jones,
former college football player, who
plays the romantic lead in The
Long Shot," now at the Riviera
theater.

A FACTOR

THE effectiveness of Germanys military
1 campaigns depends not only on air super
iority and swiftly moving mechanical forces.
Tn addition Germany must have unlimited
supplies of gasoline to fuel her planes and her
mechanized forces. In the final analysis, gaso-
line will he a. deciding factor in ultimate vic
tory either for the Allies or the Nazls. For
this reason if is safe to believe that if the Al
lies can force a stalemate HITLER will lose.
Something of the true situation may be
found in the fact that his highly efficient forces
are consuming gaoline daily at a rate con-
servatively estimated at four lines what he is
able to replace. Nazi forces are moving on
supplies accumulated throughout their period
of war preparation. This stock is being rapid.
ly exhausted.
1t is estimated that Germany could obtain
only 2,9SO,O0O tons OF gasoline yearly from
all sources-controlled area, Rumania, Russia,
and synthetic gasoline production. If the true
number of land and air forces engaged on the
western front is even approximately known,
say 5000 warplanes and 100 divisions, Ger
many's daily consumption is about S%,590,00O
gallons a day. In addition, Germany is under
stood to be short of ~high-octane gasoline re-
quired for airplanes.
While Nazi hordes are driving ahead on all
fronts and making progress which the world
shudders to contemplate, it is encouraging to
consider that by postponing a definite Nazi
,,;otor,, Tho A1ioo would ctrop ofhop fhoir
chances of final. Delay is their surest weapon.
HITLER cannot keep on Indefinitely on a shrink,
ing fuel supply.

LONGER TRAINING PERIOD

Lengthening of the training period for North
Cardinals national guard from two to three
weeks is a factor in the country's national de-
tense program; not as great but as essential a
factor as the building of airplanes and naval
craft and Increases in the regular army.
The additional time to be devoted to man
euvers will impose a hardship on employers of
guardsmen, but in the circumstances they can
not very we'll oppose it or discharge employees
because of their longer absence from work.
1t is not to be supposed that the war depart.
ment has been led to order longer training for
the national guard merely to give the mem.
bers a lark. On the contrary, the department
has arrived. at its decision only because 1t
realizes that every military resource Of the ma.
ton must be ready for efficient service in a
crisis. If it s possible to insure a higher degree
of efficiency and SO assure greater security by
keeping the national guard at its maneuvers
longer than customary, business men and
manufacturers employing guardsmen should
be willing to count their sacrifice, in the loss
of service or production thus entailed, as &
small contribution to defense.

OFFERS FINE EXAMPLE

There could be no better example OF the
new spirit abroad in Wilmington than the an
nouncement that a 100000 addition is to be
made to the Cape Fear hotel. 1t is a fine ex-
hibition of confidence in the city and a demon
stration that Wilmington's travel patronage
is increasing.
But it is more than this. 1t proves that cap
ital may be assured a fair return here. Capital
is not generally devoted to the making of
sentimental gestures. 1t is employed where and
when its investment promises a profit. We may
be assured that the owner of the Cape Fear
hotel is not drafting plans for expansion pure
ly out of love for the city. That is great, of
course, but the $1O0, 900 he plans to add to his
business is inspired primarily by the fact that
call for accommodations at the hotel JUST
fes the investment.
Is it too much to believe that other business
leaders will find in this project encourage
ment for themselves to expand, with an eye
to making the best of an opportunity just un.
folding, to send Wilmington ahead on the tide
Of returning prosperity? Surely not. Whining.
ton is awakening to it's opportunity to 60
places. 1t is reasonable to expect other bust
ness leaders to follow the fine example offer
ed by this hotel expansion program.

TIP

Give a dog a bad name and it is under
suspicion forever. Perhaps that is why the
announcement that GROVER CLEVELAND BERG
DOLL knows something about the mysterious
secret weapon" of the Nazis and wants to tell
President ROOSEVELT about it is given skeptical
reception.
BERGDoLL is in Jail on Governors Island, do
ing time as a draft dodger in the last World
war, after his return from long residence in
Germany.
1t would be silly to deny him opportunity to
spill whatever beans his sack of knowledge
contains merely because he behaved badly
when the nation needed his services. With
America in a precarious position as a result
of HITLER's swing across Europe we should
learn all that we can of this strange device,
which may be only terror or may be a new
implement for mass slaughter, in case we
have to face it in the future. BERGDoLL may
have fled Germany for an American jail
to escape the European war, or he may have
been truly %penitent. Either way, it is of small
consequence now If ordnance officers on Gov
ernor's Island, with whom he is reported to
conferred, determine that he has valuable in
formation, he should have a new day in court,
even if court is held at the White House.
The dog with the bad name deserves a
chance to clear himself.

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

Taking advantage of the Rural Electrical
ton Authority's provisions, $50 owners of
homes and stores to the north of Wilmington
will have current shortly after June 1 along a
7O-mile line extending from Wise Fork in
Jones county to Onslow and Hurst Beaches in
Onslow county. Transformers will arrive about
June II, and any delay thereafter in service
will result from individual hardness in in,
Sailing wire and fixtures.
Thus, the New Deal, which has so often
brought the country to the brink of collapse,
again demonstrates it's ineficiency. OF course,
the Rural Electrifcation Authority, is a New
Deal agency which has brought light into
many thousands of rural homes, and lightened
the work an increased the comfort of every.
body therein, but that only supports the posi-
ton of the G. o. P. that it is a pernicious
institution and should be ridden out of office

ton.
It's a strange sidelight on this heroic re.
publican effort to discredit the New Deal and
all it's workings that as convention time draws
nearer more and more state political organ.
~izations instruct their delegations to cast their
votes for the New Deals standard bearer,
FRANKLIN D.. ROOSEVELT, if his name is sub
mitted in nomination. That shows how the
G. o. P. is gaining ground in the campaign.
