Safety Council Urges
.Stricter Licensing 10
Reduce Auto Deaths

CHICAGO, Sept. (NANA).-
Automobile fatalities during the
Labor Day week end reached total
of 293A3 more than was anticipated
by the National Safety Council. The
council is alarmed at this rising
trend because the most hazardous
driving period of the year lies ahead.
In statement here, Sidney j.
Williams, director of public safety OF
the National Safety Council, de-
clared that this upward swing in
traffic deaths must be halted.
Good drivers license laws, prop
erly administered" said Mr.. Will
liams, can reduce traffic accidents
by 20 cent or more. Such laws are
the most effective method of elimi-
mating bad driving from the high
ways because the average driver
fears the loss of his license more
than any other punishment.
AN effective licensing system must
be instituted in the various States
to include: The careful examination

Abnormal Teeth Held
To Have Impaired
Hearing Of 4 Million
By the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Evidence that
abnormal teeth have impaired the
hearing of possibly 100000 Amer
leans was reported by dentist yes
terday.
DR.. David J. Goodfriend Of Phila-
delphia said field workers had estab-
lished the role of abnormalities of
dental bite in producing certain
hearing troubles "as thoroughly as
Koch proved that the tubercle
bacillus causes tuberculosis
Writing in the Archives of
Otolaryngology, publication of the
American Medical Association, DR..
Goodfriend said anatomical studies
showed any abnormality of dental
bite directly affects the eustachlan
tube. This tube brings about COM
munication between the middle ear
and the pharynx by adjusting air
pressure in the middle ear to that
of of the air outside.
Some 100000 Americans are
suffering from deafness or impaired
hearing, he said, adding that abb
normal dental bite probably in
fluences about 40 per cent Of all
deafness"
DR.. Goodfriend, reporting on
studies carried out in the depart
ment of dentistry, medicine and
psychology of the University of
Pennsylvania, found:
That at the university's special
ear and throat clinic, % of the first
Is patients with hearing complaints
but without any abnormalities in
the ear itself showed abnormalities
of bite, or some position of the teeth
which interfered with proper move
ments of the jaws in chewing.
That studies of a group of 1853
dental students showed SIS per cent
had dental malocclusionS. The hear
ing Of the group with an abnormal
bite was 13 per cent less than that
of the other students
The keynote of the work is preven-
ton. Dr. Goodfriend said. Results
depend in large measure on how
long the hearing has been disturbed
