WASHINGTON = Upon the out come of the war in Greece depend several things besides the ques- tion whether Hitler pushes on 10 Suez Probably the most important is the wars effect upon the ltai- ian people-especially in case of set back or defeat.
 For a long time, U s. intelligence reports have indicated that Itaiy was the Achilles heel of the AXIS and that the Italian people were none too enthusiastic about thelr partnership with Germany. Basic ally, the Italians always have sided a great deal more with Bri- tain than with Germany. For years they had distrusted Germany and for an equal number of years had done business with Great Bri- tain.
 Furthermore, the war has put a severe economic pinch on Italian people. In return they have had no great victories and conquered no important territory. Hitler has been able to show new conquests to arouse the enthusiasm of the German people, but Mussolini has had nothing to show except AL bania and British Somaliland.
 Even the much-heralded advance of Marshal Graziani in Egypt now has begged down on the sands oi Sahara. So Mussolini needs a Greek victory and needs it badly And if he doesn't get it, observers in Italy believe that dissatisfac- ton among the Italian people might become 50 great as to lead to a new dictator in Rome.
 NOTE-Because of her vastly Su- perior air force and more modern army, the odds are very much IT favor of an Italian victory. Out come of the war, however, depends on how much aid Greece can gel from Britain, which cannot risk taking too many troops away iron it's Egyptian defenses; also wheth- CT Jugoslavia and Turkey come in

Tone Vol" Makes Good
 Al NPA Course; Gives His
 Reasons for Queer Aeiions
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Capital folk:
 (The National Police academy, sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gives 12-week course of intensive instruction in modern police methods to a group of 40 men three times a year. There is no tuition fee, but travelling and living expenses of students must be paid by some one other than the government)
 He was a heavy set, dumpy deputy sheriff from the sagebrush country. He was terriby over weight and while it was expected that the NPA's daily hour of phys ical training would reduce his weight, in the ensuing weeks he became almost skinny
 His actions were called strange Although he never went to lunch con with his classmates and imme- diately the afternoon sessions were out he would hurry off by him self. The other members of the class dubbed him the lone wolf made jokes about him, snickered behind his back.
 Finally, the course was over and, on graduation day. the Lone Wolf came into the office of the Assistant Director. He said There's something been worrying me. I know the fellows don't like me. They think I'm queer guy I guess. That's all right. I don't blame them But did feel kinda like some explanation was due you.

 Germany Is "Great"
(By ASSOCIATED PREsS)

British bombs fell last night on where Adolf Hitler address ed party of comrades on the 17th anniversary of the Nazi Beer Cellar Putsch.
 The British Press Association claims that one stick of explosives hit the meeting hall and large fire broke out.
 Informed B erlin sources claim Hitler had completed his address when the attack on Munich came
 The British Press Association says the British fliers flew over Munich for IA minutes after Hitler was scheduled to begin speaking and then attacked the city for more than one hour and half.
 No information is given out by either side regarding Hitler's pre- carious position, or the after-effects CT how close the bombs fell to the Fuehrer
 British planes also bombed Turin, Northern Italy. with disastrous re- suits to that section.
 In Rome, the newspaper Il Giron- ale d'Italia said tremendous" air bombardments on England and Al- lies will start immediately in repris- als.
 Hitler in his speech at Munich said Germany is ready 'as never be- fore to face any combination of the world"
 Hitler referred sarcastically to the United States and asserted German air production was the greatest in the world
 Bcmbastic Declaration After the unexplained cancella- ton of his speech, Hitler pictured Germany as vast arsenal from which his mighty armies could draw unlimited supplies with which to wage war until fina victory is achieved He declared that Ger many, with it's Allies, is strong enough to oppose any combination in the world.
 Hitlers boast of Germany's mili- tary might was made in the course of the hour long speech before the so-called "Old Guard" of the Nazi i party. assembled to commemorate the abortive beer hall putsch Mo- vember 9th, 1923,
 The Nazi leader scoffed at air. plane production in England and the United States and declared-"Ger- man productive capacty is the high est in the world and we shall keep up because we are in position to mobilize the forces of practically all manufacturers in the industrial field
 Hitler asserted that the German Army is now even stronger than at the outbreak of war. He said German losses had been small and it had even been possible to dis charge some of the other classes of reservists.
 Further losses in material in the war Hitler said would be entirely

 When I got my budget all fig ured out, I found I just had 50 cents a day to buy meals while l was here. I didn't mind that for myself. Shucks, I had coffee and doughnuts for breakfast, soup for lunch, and I managed to get along for supper. But I couldn't stand for those other fellows to see me eat ing like that and I couldn't tell em where I was going for my meals.

A Common Ear Disease

Extensive destruction Of the
bones of the middle ear and pus
formation can occur without deaf
ness. This is the common ear
disease of childhood but does not
often result in hearing defect. But
when those little bones get fixed
it results in the chronic progress
sive deafness of middle age.
The bones are tiny little ossicles,
one shaped exactly like a stirrup,
one like a hammer and one like an
anvil. In chronic deafness they be-
come fixed to the bones around the
ear drum and no longer have the
wide range of motion they once
had. This results in lack Of trans
mission of sound waves from the
ear drum to the nerve. It is pre-
ceded by head noises, called tin
nitus," which are probably due to
the movement Of the dry bones
against the ear drum. This tin
nitus and roaring annoy the vic
tim in the early stages even more
than the deafness.
Was Considered Hopeless
This form Of deafness was con-
sidered almost entirely hopeless
up to a few years ago. Hearing
aids that depended on switching
the conduction from air conduc-
ton to bone conduction have been
improved somewhat but they are
by no means perfect. But within
the past five years this form Of
deafness has been approached
from the surgical standpoint and
with a considerable amount Of
success. Several operations are at
present performed ard it would
be tedious TO attempt to describe
them. Suffice it to say that after
following number of cases for
several years, | find a conserva-
tive report which states that in so
per cent Of cases there has been
marked improvement in hearing.
In all cases there is some improve
ment, and this method Of approach
to an age-old problem seems TO
offer some hope for the future.
