80 Flyers Interned.
Altogether, I was told, about 80
German flyers from planes which
had been shot or forced down now
have been interned in this region.
1t would seem unquestionable
that the young Germans fighting
here are among the worlds best
armed and best trained soldiers.
Experienced Alpine troops travel
ing on skis are now having their in
nings on this unusual fighting front
and the first impression is that the
German soldiers must be regarded as
individual arsenals, SO we'll are they
equipped.
At the moment only sharp patrol
activity occurs here, but the rough.

trap the foxes so that they may
take the pelts home to their wives
and sweethearts. This planning is
always with the confidence that
they will get home.

Permanent Cure for
Some Deafness
Acousticol Society
Meeting Here Told
Of Treatment
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Permanent cures Of form of
progressive deafness by adding a
vitamin to the diet were described
before the Acoustical Society of
America, meeting at the Bureau of
Standards today, by DR.. Emanuel
M. Josephson of New York City.
This form of deafness Is accom-
panied by roaring noises in the ears.
The vitamin is the so-called fertility
vitamin E, found chiefly in the
germs OF various grains. That it is
absolutely essential for human
beings never has been demonstrated
conclusively. 1t is known that when
rats are kept on diets entirely free
of 1t they loss the capacity to
produce living young.
Actually, DR.. Josephson told the
sound experts, it has a very funda-
mental function in the human body.
In all muscle is nitrogen-contain-
ing substance known as creatine. 1t
is believed essential for muscular
contraction, strength and stability.
Creatine itself is contained in meats
and fish and can be synthesized in
the body itself out of a great variety
of foods.
Ear Muscles Blamed.
Creatine is excreted rapidly. The
function OF vitamin E, DR.. Joseph
son believes, is to raise the thresh-
hold of kidney excretion. Thus
creatine is held in the body. He has
used 1t previously, with some sue
cess, in the treatment of the weird
disease, myathenia gravis, in which
the muscles loose all capacity to
function.
The peculiar deafness, he said,
appears to be due to a malfunction-
ing OF some of the ear muscles. It
can be relieved by various other
drugs but always returns. The vita
min E treatment, he has found, not
only stops the roaring in the ears,
which nearly drives the victims in
sane, but results in a gradual and
permanent restoration of the hear
ing
1t should be accompanied. DR..
Josephson said. by foods contain
ing plenty of creatine- producing
substance to supplement the gen.
orally adequate supply in the nor
NAL diet.
At the same time DR.. Josephson
described new operations on the
eardrum which offer relief and
temporary improvement of hearing,
although they do not get at the
fundamental cause of deafness and
cannot be considered a cure. The
disease process that causes the
deafness continues to operate until
discovered and arrested.
A mechanical lip for playing brass
wind Instruments, which not only
duplicates the actions of the lips of
the musician, but the tension given
them by the surrounding muscles,
was described by DR.. Daniel w. Nor
ton OF the University of Illinois.
The purpose, he stressed, was not
to throw trumpet and cornet play
ers out of jobs, but to provide a
means for testing the sound quail
ties OF the instruments. The me-
chanical lip eliminates the personal
equation in such tests.
