Snoring Is No Joke For T hose Who Listen

By Harman N. Bundesen, M. 0. SNORING is often comic when you don't have to lirten to it at the coot of your own rest. But if. night after night, you are an enforced listener to one of these strange medleys of sound a sort of grotesque and energetic sym-phony-then snoring begins to assume near-tragic aspects. Snoring is rare in childhood, infrequent in young people, but quite common in middle and old age. Vibration of Tissues It occurs because air flowing out of the mouth and nose sets intn vibration the various soft tissues of the mouth and throat, ihiring sleep ail of the muscles of the body are relaxed If a person lies on his back. the soft palate or roof of the mouth and the uvula, which is the small structure that hangfrom the roof of the mouth, fall back a«aUMt the lining membrmMut the throat Thia narrows th# thnyj*tebj**j**r

Increasing use of northern Polar flying routes brings Canada and ! the United States into even closer peace-time collaboration than in war time. Simultaneous announcements from Ottawa and Washington showed that the two neighI I>oring countries, without a for- . trial treaty, were using ea< h other s military facilities, unifying training programs, and standardizing armament. The boundary between these two countries is a long one. IL remains unfortified in fact and in spirit. The relations set up in peace and in war without formalities. by these two vast domains, is a heartening example of what ran be accomplished between bordering countries. o 0---A helicopter flew into a 2.980.808 acre acre Adirondack wilderness and brought out a 63-year old hermit Bearded and dressed in animal skins aud hunting clothes, the recluse had lived In the woods atone' more than 30 years. He was taken to New York City to appear at the National Sportsmen's Show. It was his first ride in an airplane, his first real contact with a modern metropolis since World War I. The chances are the racket and the crowds, the hurry and the glitter. will be hard on the man-of-the woods. He'll probably be glad to return to the simple rigors of his forest. And a lot of city folk who meet him at the show will wish they could go back with him. —0 0 Twe volunteer firemen from Auburn were killed in a highway accident while returning home from Fort Wayne, where they assisted iu fighting the disastrous Saturday night blaze that swept through a couple up-town build ings. The question of liability will no doubt come up and one wonders who had authority to send firemen out, of town, or why another city -hould want to employ them. Such tragic cases present a number of compiicationF and in this particular one, Auburn's loss is the greatest. — o o Continued support of the reciprocal trade program was ad-. vocated by Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota and a navy veteran of the last war. This is significant, since Mr. Stassen has announced bis candidacy for , the 194 b Republican presidential election. The Republican party, be said, must recognize that a high tariff no longer suits America, whose future as well as that of the world depends on an iacreaa•■d flow of goods, raw materials and services everywhere. Peace, said Stassen, cannot be kept unless higher standard* of living exist among all peoples, and this can only come through an increased flow of trade as woll as wurtd production, all of which would be snarled If America withdraws behind high tariff walls.

Some people have an Idea that snoring is due to mouth breathing, but this Is not the case, because snoring occurs in person* who sleep with their mouths cloned. On the other hand, mouth breathing is objectionable because it often leads to a bad taste in the mouth. Mouth breathing, of course, may be canned by blocking of the n«J«* Many remedies for snoring have been suggested. Dr. Jerome F. Strauss of Chicago has suggested treating the condition by injections of a hardening solution into the soft palate and uvula. Good results have been obtained in some CAMS. • Trying to avoid sleeping sa the hack may be helpttd. Tying a spool onto the back may he away of accomptishißt this.

CHAPTER TWO SO HERE they were, headed once more toward New Dixie, tor no good reason except that hut copper-haired counselor thought it a good idea, and there was nothing he could do about it—yet. Byway of change. Cliff looked at the pilot—the same pilot who had brought him up on his Hl-fated trip before. Pablo Ramirez, they called him at the airport, owner and operator of thia one-plane, one-man airline. Ramirez had learned his flying in Texas, together with a hodge-podge of American slang that he never quite got on top of. Short, alight of stature, with close-cropped mustache and beady black eyre, like new shoebuttons, Ramirez held the reputation of being an efficient mechanic and a safe, steady flyer. Bogard liked him from tile start, and between the two an easy friendship had sprung up. At the air|>ort Bogard noticed Ramirez’s Latin eye studying Janet Norman with a kind of despairing wonder, but now the little pilot's sttention was centered on the heavy cloud banks that grew ever thicker, until presently they blotted out the earth. To break the long silence. Cliff turned back to the gin. “How did the Rubber Division find out about you?" “When all the publicity started ov.’i New Dixie. 1 went to Washington and told them everything I knew about the plantations and the people who own them. Then when you"—she hesitated -"when you got yourself into trouble, they sent me down." Cliff's collar was feeling tight again. That oval face of hem could be so incredibly serene! He couldn't rmist asking, “What do you do when you're not busy rescuing ple*M Illustrate books." Mie looked mhckly up and froze. "Or was that just a dig? "Mayte just a dig."

me wing-ups. lhe pilot waa Beckoning to him, and slipping off hia safety belt, CUff groped his way forward. Pablo raised hia voice above th* engine. "Ahead comes another storm, and we are too scarce on gas to run around IL I go down for a landing." “Anything I can do?" “St. This river, she is lousy with floating logs and sandbars. U we nose over, tak’ care of the senorita." He closed the throttle. Cliff went slowly back. It wasn't an attractive prospect. Even if they didn't pile up, it meant spending a night in the mosquito infested jungle. Well, she bad asked for it. There's a storm breaking ahead,” he told her casually. “The pilot is going to land." She gave a tittle gasp as he jerked her belt to be sure the clasp was tight. The engine was idling now; except for the wind in the wires, the world had grown intensely quiet, and beneath them the mist was shredding thin, so that Cliff began to catch intermittent glimpses of the river—it looked dangerously winding. * Gliding in a broad spiral, the pilot had leaned forward, seeking a stretch of water suitable for landing, and in short seconds they were undsr the clouds, the river coming up at them with appalling speed, the wind shrieking louder through the wires. A moment more and they were barely skimming the jungle; great flat-topped trees whizzed by them, and above the curtain of lianas that screened the river band three snow-white cranes flew wildly across their path. Still lower. Cliff's eyes were straining. A log, silvered by years of equatorial sun, loomed up uj»on the surface and was lost astern If they struck one of those things— He saw Ramirez pull back on the wheel, leveling off, and the tail of the plane dropped sharply. They were settling doser and closer to the muddy water, so dose Cliff could see the surface ruffle In the wind, then with a swirl and a snarl they struck. Foam surged past the window, and CJiff felt the sudden backward pull o' the pontoons. He grasped Janet by both shoulders to hold her, but in the next second Pablo turned and grinned. They were safely down. Only then Cliff realized he was still holding Janet pinned tight against her seat. "Sorry " He released her. "I was afraid you'd bump your nose.” They had landed barely in time. Almost at once the full fury of tbe storm was on them. Notting oat river and jungle with a solid slanting wall of water, and unfastening his safety belt, Pablo roiled “"Sis," he announced cosily. "H iff better than a Mind landing with a dead stick, no?" But Janet's face was still white, hm?”*sluT *** "***
