ONE study reveals that rs
" per cent of the workers in
a boiler factory were unable 10
hear at all at a public meet
ing. or could hear only with
difficulty.
Other studies demonstrate
that the production rate of
typists, inspectors and weavers
Is diminished by noise, and the
rate decreases progressively as
the intensity OF the noise in
creases.
Most of the injurious effects
OF noise are preventable. OF
Course engineers and managers
OF industrial plants have en-
deavored for a long time TO
diminish noise in factories. but
a great deal can be accom-
plished with the development
and use OF effective ear stop
pers or defenders.
Simple wax or rubber stop
pers in the ears will reduce
noise by as much as Is to 35
decibels.
Even cotton in the ears pro-
vides a certain amount of in
sulation against noise.
Loose cotton reduces noise by
seven decibels and cotton rolled
into a tight taper provides an
insulation Of II decibels.
Wax and cotton mixtures
insulate up TO 35 decibels and
especially well-fitted Der
shoppers will produce an insula-
ton OF so decibels.
TvHE intensity of some familiar
l. sounds are: whispering, 80
to 40 decibels; conversation, IS
to 65; noise in subway train,
30 to 90; riveting. pneumatic
drilling, airplane engines, IS to
125.
Thus on a subway train ordi-
nary speech will have 10 at
tain level of 95 or nearly
twice its normal intensity in
order TO be recognized.
Contrary TO what might be
expected under conditions of
noise. ear defenders do not make
conversation more difficult to
hear.
If exposed TO excessive noise
for any length Of time. the ear
apparatus becomes numb and
those who have had protection
are better able to hear than
those who have not.
Besides. in any noisy environ
ment. it is natural for every
one TO raise the voice. and
under these conditions the peo-
pie who wear ear defenders are
better able to hear what is said
TO them than those who do not.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

QIESIlONS, ANSWERS
c. OF would like TO know
If asthma in a child is catching?
Answer-No. not il il is true
asthma. Whooping cough some-
times resembles asthma and the
distinction should be made.
D. j. C.-Does taking mineral
oil spoil the value of the vita
minis taken in the system?
Answer-Probably not. but
the way to be sure is to take
your mineral oil at night and
the vitamins in the foods; or,
il you are taking synthetic vita
minis, between meals, in which
case they certainly will not in
terfere.
J. H. T.-What are the best
foods for a man having high
blood pressure?
Answer-Authorities used 10
cut out meat. eggs and protein
foods, but nowadays they let
patients have a m oderate
dIlOuII Oh tneSe.
There is no special kind of
food that has either good or bad
influence on high blood pressure.
The most important thing for
man with high blood pressure
is TO be moderate in all things
and TO eat very sparingly.
T. C.-What is bronchiectasis7
What is its cause and can it be
cured? Is il step toward
tuberculosis?
Observation-Disclosures is a
dilation Of the ends of the bron-
chial tubes caused by chronic
infection.
The dilated ends of the bron-
chial tubes become full of pus
and infection.
1t is often called chronic
bronchitis. Those subject to
this trouble take cold very cas-
lily. cough and expectorate a
good deal.
The disease itself has nothing
to do with tuberculosis. although
ii may be mistaken for il by
ignorant people.
Treatment consists in going
TO a warm. dry climate, using
postural drainage. which is TO
hang with the head and chest
over the side of the bed so that
secretions can be brought out
more easily and cleaning up any
infections in the nose. which is
the origin Of the trouble.
