- Deafness in Children
—Catarrh a Common Cause of Poor Hearing
L“———————-Soys Dr. Copeland .....— -
Investigate Immediately at First Sign of Such Trouble
in Your Child Authority Warns Parents for
This Condition May Rapidly Get W orse.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health New York City.
IT is distressing to know how widespread deafness in children really
is. One of the most hopeless of all ailments is steadily progressing
deafness. When once it begins the trouble goes on and on
igrcdually growing worse.
A little over a year ago the Bureau of Edu
OR. COPELAND
cation of the United States Department of the
Interior made a report on this subject. It gave
I the unpleasant news that more than three million
children in the United States have impaired hear-
ing. This is a serious matter.
Probably the most common cause of deafness
is catarrh. The common cold may develop into
catarrh. The inflammation of the mucous mem-
brane of the nose and throat extends up the
passageways to the middle ear. This produces
what is called “middle ear deafness."
There can be no doubt that pus absorption
from any part of the body will greatly lower
the resistance to disease. Fermenting substances
in the intestinal tract produce poisons which
affect the whole system. Catarrhal troubles are
considerably influenced by their absorption.
Even the strongest of us cannot resist the
* k j in(ese poisons me sources snouid he cleared up. By the
right diet plenty of exercise anti right living habits we should keep
tnese wonderful organs of ours in the best of working order.
There are other causes for deafness besides catarrh. Some

accretion of the wax glands of the

.removed by a doctor. This fonn of
Impaired hearing is sometimes called
—external ear deafness.”
There ts still another kind of deaf-
ness—"Internal ear deafness.”
The nerve of hearing is called the
-auditory nerve." This nerve ends
la delicate fibres which float about
‘in a fluid found In the cavities of
the bone. Except where perfect
.health is present these structures
'may not operate as they should.
Various things may cause an un-
usual drain upon the nerve energy
and reduce the hearing power. In

*
children 111 health from any source—
the after effects of scarlet fever or
lowered vitality from other troubles
—may bring on deafness.
It Is a thing which should not be
neglected. Medical knowledge today
affords many methods of relief from
deafness. If taken in time appropri-
ate treatment may bring about full
recovery.
The deaf child labors under many
difficulties. His deafness cannot but
affect his disposition. Many a deaf
child becomes retiring and morose.
He cannot hear his teacher or what
the class Is 6aylng. His contacts
with the other children are difficult.

“f/ the People Have fto Bread Lei Them Eat Cake
This is the £rst of a series ot '
mrtides by M. H. Tillett. noted
writer and historian in which
ke reviews the origin of mem-
' orable utterances which have
winged their way through his-
tory's pages.
ON'E day at Versailles some
time prior to 17S3. a group of
ladies and gentlemen of the
court sat in gay converse around the
beautiful Marie Antoinette. Queen
• ©f France. In a reception room of the
•palace there. But presently some-
one spoke of the dissatisfaction of
the people and of the menacing atti-
tude toward the ruler* that some of
them were assuming and the talk
changed from gay chatter to depress-
ing eerlousness. for it was a topic
!that reminded French autocracy and
tiobility of much that they would for-
tgei. It recalled to them the protests
.©f the people against oppression by
'despotic royalty and an imitative ele-
•tnent of the nobility—and It also re-
called many acts of flagrant misrule
end much Injustice that drove those
protests home. And added to this
was th. unescapable fact that the
people having become distressed and
lacking necessaries of life were reg-
istering increasing boldness in their
demands for justice and were getting
Uglier In mood on Its denial.
And the topic Irked the Queen.
She did not like to think of unpleas-
ant things Was not royalty su-
preme? Was not the monarchy
France? Why give heed to the mut-
tering* of the people? Their Inso-
lence In talking of their rights and
In protesting against what they
termed their wrongs was Intolerable.
So. when one In the company spoke
tJ the people’s lack of bread and
m pitied them the Queen petulantly
* exclaimed: "If the people have no
bread let them eat cake." Or. In her
own words: "Si le peuple n’a prs de
pain qu’tl mange de la brioche" (a
»ort of cake).
Those words bespoke a heartless-
n*a*. an Inexcusable thoughtlessness
©r a non-understanding of the peo-
flle and their wants that persisted
n. doomed royalty In France.
At the time they were uttered it
was not to late for the monarchy to
have ridden out the storm that was
then rising against It If the rulers
bad shown sympathy with the peo-
ple and had dealt with them under
►standingly. But they didn t. In-
stead the Queen for her part per-
sisted In callous non-understanding
if not in real heartlessness In her
dealings with matters touching the
people and thus hurried herself
toward a terrible doom.
This utterance and others along
the same line together with the cold
and indifferent—if not mocking—at-
titude they bespoke roused the peo-
ple against the Queen and embit-
tered them. They hurled ugly epi-
thets after her as she passed on
roads around Versailles and on the
streets of Paris.
And oo July 14. 1789. with the
storming of the Bastlle. the whirl-
wind that autocracy had sowed and
was to reap began to gather swirling
momentum. Royalty had been given
Its chance to meet the demands of
the people and had failed so the peo-
ple took the redressing of their
wrongs Into their own hands.
And the future of Marie Antoi-
nette. that had been so roseate with
promise of happiness in her early
years—when she. the daughter of the
great Empress of Austria. Marla
Therein was married to the heir of
the great crown of France—became
black indeed
Driven with her husband from
the throne she was finally caught
in the swirl of the Terror that de-
veloped in the course of the Revolu-
tion. and was thrown into prison
and on October 16. 1793. she who. as
Queen had said. *'lf the people have
no bread let them eat cake." was
sent to the guillotine.
Marie Antoinette was the
daughter of Empress Maria
Theresa and Emperor Francis 1
of Austria. She was bora at
Vienna November 2 1755. On
May 16 1770 she was married
to the Daurhin of France after-
wards Louis XVI. Following
the death of Louis XV (May 10
1774) with the Dauphin she
ascended the throne. She in-
curred the wrath of Revolu-
tionary elements and subsequent
to the outbreak of the Revolu-
tion she was after August 10
1793 locked up in the Temple
in Paris. She was tried by the
Terrorists October 14. 1793 and
two days later (October 16
1793) was guillotined.

Folding Equipment Sates Space.
g^ UT where In the world do"
you prepare food?” de-
manded the visiting friend
as sbe took a glimpse at the narrow
kitchenette. It was a charming but
tiny apartment and really one didn't
aspect to find any kind of kitchen
at all. But this one seemed almost
a toy. despite Its brave boasting of
modern equipment—stove refriger-
ator. sink and cupboard.
“Easy enough." retorted the young
hostess airily as she started unfold-
ing one object after another. She
pulled a folding chair from the wall
then tucked her hand under a large
•quare board that hung against the
door. She swung it forward fas-
tened it underneath and in a twin-
kling she had seated herself comfor-
tably beforp an ample table surface.
When there Isn't space enough for
UMful equipment to stand around
they may be tucked away folded.
It a an elaboration of the ironing
board idea. Gone are the days when
even the modestly-clrcumstanced
ramriy had a permanent laundry in
the basement where set tubs ample
ironing board and other necessaries
stood in one place ready for use at
once. Few people have that much
space—but Ironing still has to be
done to some extent in every home.
Hence the folding ironing board
Some are built in. but a folding iron-
ing board that looks like a shallow
cupboard against the wall can be
purchased. It is Just as ample and
convenient as the old-style space-
taking board but when not in use it
simply makes itself scarce.
There are even utensils that fold
—and they are very handy for camp-
ing as well as kitchenette use In
some cases. Folding broilers frving
pans with handles that fold under
are a few of the space savers.
►He does not progress tn hts school
work. He lags tn his classes and
gets discouraged.
When the slightest trace of deaf-
ness Is detected In a child let the
family doctor find out what Is wrong
with him physically. The first step
is to make sure that needed meas-
ures are applied for building up the
health. The deafness may be only
temporary but it Is unwise to neg-
lect It.
In some schools classes tn lip-
reading for permanently deaf chil-
dren have been started. This Is
really constructive work and should
be encouraged. For thousands of
children this will mean social and
economic advance. Later In life lip-
reading will enable the deaf person
to compete in the business and pro-
fessional world in making a living
as it now does In gaining an educa-
tion.

Advice to Girls

rhEAR NANCY LEE:
1 am about to be engaged to
a young man. I have a brother tn
prison for tC small deed. Should I
tell this young man about it?
BLUE EYES.
BLUE EYES: I appreciate your
dilemma and can only advise
you to acquaint the young man with
the true facts at once. It is better
by far that he should hear the true
story from you than a dangerously
distorted version from someone else.
So many young men get Into trouble
from foolishness and not heeding the
good advice of their elders and so
there is no conceivable reason why
their families should suffer more
than they do on their account. The
young trill then know that you
are sliteere honest and courageous
In facing the truth and fearlessly
telling it even at the risk of your
own happiness.

We are *wo girl* in our teens
and we are In love with two hand-
some. nice-looking boys. They first
seemed to care for us but now
they act very Indifferent but we
still care for them and always
will. When we are around these
boys they act very indifferent and
pay us very little attention.
They seem to care for two other
girls out of our town. Do you
believe. Nancy Lee. tf they cared
for us that they would treat us
like that? When we are with these
boys we are always talking about
some other good-looking boy—do
you reckon they got tired of us
talking like that? Do boya like
yon best when they think you
don’t care much for them? Or do
they when they think you are
crazy about them?
It got out In our town once that
these boys were engaged. If you
were us. would you ask them if
they are. Or what would you do
if you were us?
Our parents seamed to like these
boys very much. And would it
heln anyway by telling them so’
Tour advice will certainly be
appreciated.

Seen on Fifth Ave.
By LOUISE DUNTLEY.
Mergers are quite an accepted fart
In the scheme of things and so we
should not express any astonishment
over the success of the coat frock
that is finding its way from Paris
to New York. A shop on the avenue
is showing a coat frock of lemon-
yellow wool crepe with a cleverly
draped scarf of crepe etriped In
black white and yellow.
• • •
Sleeves have become very temper-
amental these days and no one
knows Just where they propose to
end. It may be down on the knuckles
or it may be Just below the
shoulder. One ensemble has a coat
with elbow length sleeves worn over
a frock that has soft long sleeves
falling away from the elbow. This
ensemble Is of black crepe.

There Is a softness about the mode
that must capture the fancy of even
the moet Indifferent of us. Tweeds
are subjected to fine treatment as
are cotton* both with gratifying re-
sults. A suit of fine black tweed
simply made but beautifully cut. is
further softened by a frothy frilly
blouse of white chiffon.

Dame Fashion this season may be
indulging in a fit of pique but none
of us seem to mind it. Why should
we. when it is the kind of pique that
adds such a crisp fresh accent to our
tailored suits? Can you Imagine any-
thing smarter than a plain navy or
dark gray suit with a little double-
breasted waistcoat with tiny smoky
! pearl buttons and in the lapel of
the coat a whit* pique rose?
The Individual
Note in Hats
THE mode this season manages to be all
things to all women thus giving each one
of us a chance to express our individuality
through the medium of our attire and yet con-
form to fashion. Latitude bounded only by
good taste and limits of expenditure is the motto
of the mode and this is particularly true of hats
for there were ever so many of us who disdained
the little off-the-forehead down-the-neck type of
Hat and yet could fine no suitable alternative.
But now every type of hat is to be seen from
tiny little berets and turbans to large cartwheel
affairs of delicate charm and subtle flattery.
Straws of various weaves from the coarse basket-
weave straw to fine Milan and shinny panamala-
que all have their place in the mode not forget-
ting the important role played by baku ballibuntl
and other linen weaves.
The story of the millinery mode can be told
in three chapters represented by the sketches of
three hats. The first ia of black ballibunt! with
a cuff brim very cleverly cut and edged with
fine hair braid. The second is of fine Milan
straw and is the dress type of hat It is trimmed
with crushed bluish purple velvet ribbon also
used to make the rose. The third of the trio
is a black hair lac* cap with three roses of
white organdie.
Bags are of extreme importance in the
sartorial scheme of things and so we append
sketches of three very good looking pocket-
books. all very new and different.
Hand-blocked linen makes the first model
which has a frame in simulated amber. The
second bag is of brown calf with appliques of
snakeskin in the form of original motifs. The
popular pouch shape distinguishes the bag of
silk and cotton fabric that lends itself so well to
the afternoon frock. This particular bag boasts
a silver frame and clasp.
Love’s Reawakening ■
By Adele Garrison
Marion Confides to Madge the Hap-
penings Preceding Her Trip from
School with Carolyn Brixton and
Charles Owen.
TO my surprise—and Joy—Marion"
did not hesitate at all In her
answer to my query as to what
Charles Owen had said In persuad-
ing her to leave school with his niece
without her mother's knowledge and
a day In advance of her schedule.
"You see. it was this way." Marion
began. “The gtrls without demerits
could get off today; those with one
get off tomorrow and those with
more have to wait till the regular
day of school breaking up. Carolyn
and I each had one. and we weren’t
sure whether we could work them
off or not. So. as the other two
gtrls had two that they couldn't work
off and couldn't leave till tomorrow
anyway we Just wrote home that
tomorrow was the day we could
leave.
"And then we found day before
yesterday that we had worked ours
off and could leave today if our
parents knew about It. But it was
so late and we were afraid it would
upset all the plans so as the other
girls had to wait anyway we Just
sat tight. But then this morning
Uncle Charlie drove up-’’
"Just a minute. Marion.” I inter-
rupted. "If I were in your place I
would not call Mr. Owen 'Uncle
Charlie.’ I am sure your mother
would not like it.”
"Why? What's the matter
with-” She checked herself with
evident recollection of the issue
which hung upon her mother’s mood.
"All right." she said docilely. ”1
wont-’’ But I chose to answer
her unfinished question.
"I’m going to tell you what's the
matter Marlon.” I said slowly "but
I want your promise that you will
not speak of It to anyone not even
to your mother. She does not real-
ize that you are growing up and she
still wants to shield you as she would
a little child- Do you understand
me. and can you keep your own
counsel?”
"Of course I can" she said.
"Then” I began choosing mv
words carefully for 1 did not wish
to voice too scathing a denunciation
of Charles Owen—the time was not
ripe for that—“I want you to know
that your mother—does not like Mr.
Owen. We know something about
his life which makes us feel that he
is not quite the proper person to
trust you arlth for any joumev or
excursion even if he Is Carolyn's
uncle."
Then did Marlon astonish me. She
flopped over to the seat opposite me
and leaned forward with shining
eyes.
"Do you mean." she said "that
he’s been a bootlegger or a gang-
ster or a Raffles? How perfectly
thrilling:"
“Nothing •« Interesting. I'm
"afraid Marlon." 1 answered making
my voice sound as bored as possible.
"I can t tell you now. but you U
know some day just what It Is that
W8 V8 found out about him. but
won’t you trust me when I tell you
that I am rure when you do know
it you will be glad you avoided him
as much as possible?"
"Of course. I believe you. Auntie
Madge." she answered quickly.
"But." her voice was puzzled now.
"how am I going to manage it? He's
Carolyn's uncle you know and he's
been down to the school a lot to see
her since hs came hack from his
trip."
I made the mental comment that
this was the first time we had heard
this news from Marion. She had not
“mentioned It In her letters.
“The same thing may happen
again that did this morning.’* she
went on. "He drove up in his car
and asked to see Carolyn. Then he
told us about Ronald's coming and
asked us If we could drive home with
him. He had a note to Mrs. Barnes
from Carolyn’s mother and In It she
said she hoped I could come with
Carolyn If convenient. Of course
Carolyn and I were wild to come
home with him but Mrs. Barnes
thought a long while before she said
•Yes* about me. Oh. Auntie Madge
you don't suppose mother will think
Mrs. Barnes was at fault do you?
I Just couldn’t stand that.’*

I A Fashion Model’s Diary
By GRACE THORNCLIFFE
An Adorable Two-Piece Frock h Added to Her Wardrobe.
WELL. I weakened too. I"
Just couldn't resist buying
myself a new frock for the
big week-end. And the frock I
bought Is one I’ve had my eye on
for a long time. It's really a very
practical dress so I don’t feel as If
I were extravagant at all. I adore
two-piece dresses and haven’t hed
one for ages. Though they are still
being shown they don't eeem to be
as popular as they were a season or
two ago.
The model I selected Is of red
crepe printed In an adorable white
arrow design. The blouse ie double-
breasted and has a charming vestee
of white pique. The straight slim
skirt is box pleated at the front. And
what I like particularly about It is
that it can be worn for any sports
occasion and will be Just as appro-
priate for informal afternoon wear.
Really it's difficult to go through
this season without overstocking the
wardrobe. Clothes are more attrac-
tive and simpler than ever. Isn’t it
strange how quickly we adapt the
new styles. When long frocks first
arrived there was much campaign-
ing against them. We all rebelled
and said we wouldn't wear them.
Well the designers compromised Just
about an inch or two. and now we
raise our eyebrows when we see a
knee-length frock. The same thing
was true of the battle of the waist-
line. We were so used to having our
waistline misplaced around the hips
that the idea of being normal scared
us. Anw now somehow or other
we’ve accepted the normal waistline
and regard it as most becoming. I

But worse than all that what do
rou think this strange woman
did?
IHis Pear Palsi
She "made remarks"—embarras-
sing remarks they were too—and
they concerned the wives of mem-
bers of his baseball team.
Think of that now!
It really does seem a little hard
to have your wife "make remarks”
about the wives of your best
friends and dear lifelong pals.
But that is a cause for divorce
I don't see why there is a married
couple left In tha United States of
America.
Of course wives should not
"make remarks."
Husbands don't like "remarks.**
but what wife is there in the
length and breadth of this sunny
land of freedom that does not
sometimes “make remarks.** and
very pointed remarks at that?
And the worst of it is these re-
marks are so apt to concern either
the husband or his family or his
friends or the wives sisters
daughters cousins aunts and
mothers-in-law of his most partic-
ular friends.
Men are so sensitive about their
friends. aren't they?
What woman would think of di-
vorcing her husband because he
came home and found dinner late
after a bridge party and said:
"Been having a gabble feat with
those gabbling Nit-Wits again eh!"
And the husbands of the wife's
friends—tell me. gentlemen of the
Jury—what is it that makes the
average husband of the average
friend of the average wife such an
abvsmal brute or such a hopeless
fool?
i_Be Careful l.adiee _j
Whisper little Mrs. Newlywed
how long did it take you to dis-
cover that your husband had a
deep-seated natural aversion to
any particular friend of yours
which »eem*d to make him Just
about as agreeable as a good
healthy Airedale In the presence
of a bristling bulldog.
I'm afraid the ha!lptayer won't
get very far on the way to free-
dom unless he allegate.- something
more unusual than the fact that
his wife "made remarks" about the
wives of his friends.
A million men. hearing the par-
ticulars of this sensitive man's
charges would stir uneasily and
rub with some attempt at comfort
the gall marks of an all too famil-
iar harness.
"Made remarks." did she? Poor
man.
Well tell us now honestly
couldn’t you "make remarks'* in
return or were you. perhaps too
high-minded for such a merely
human course of action?
Be careful ladies when you
"make remarks’* about your hus-
band's friends.
Somebody may take notes about
those “remarks.** and some day
you'll hear of them In open court.

Indeed. Knarf had already vanished
insule a high cliff rwhere the echo
seemed to come from! and was urg-
ing the others to follow. This they
did. sliding through a narrow open-
ing in the rock and entering a dark
chamber. Knarf a voice come from
somewhere above In the darkness.
"Go to the back and come up the
stairway.'* he told them. They then
began to grope their way about
seeking the stairway which they
found at length more than half hid-

icicles They quickly mounted It and
soon reached a ledge far up near the
top of the cliff. It was near the
outside too. for they could aee the
sunshine slanting across the farthest
side. Knarf was waiting for them.
"I ve found the echo." he an-
nounced gaily. "She* a girl."
"A girl!” they exclaimed.
He nodded. "She's sitting by her
window right around the corner.** He
set off and the othera followed. Just
around the turn In the ledgs they
came to what appeared like a little
house although It was mainly a wall
with a large open window in It.
They entered through e tiny crack
which was meant for a door and
there sitting by the window waa a
girl.
"That's Echo” Knarf whispered.
Then turning to the girl he eaid
aloud: *Tv# brought my frienda.”
"—friends.” replied Echo.
"Tea. and they'd like to know

"—know you”*
"No. you." Mij put in.
At this moment the real-children
who were outside at the foot of the
cliff shouted at the top of their
voices: "Hull-low:" Instantly Echo
put her head out of the window and
called back: "—low:” This so de-

broke into peals of laughter where-
