O 0 Ta* relief for millions of Americans could be given by increasing the basic exemptions and relieve them from making a report. Members of the House of Congress must have felt that the tax cut bill was after all a joke, for they failed to pass it over President Truman's veto. o o Now that the king and queen of the Fisherman's Jubilee have been crowned, all the fisherman needs is a break in the weather and luck with the finny tribe. o o Ohio fanners, according to an official of an aviation company, are buying half of all the light planes sold in that state this year. This is partly because they have places in which to keep planes, whereas private hangers are scarce In cities, even those with wellequipped airports. In part, of course, it is due to the greater use which can be made of a plane in many phases of farm work, as well as the distances to bo covered for recreational gatherings. o o Wildlife in the state may be depleted. not so much by the hunter as the auto driver. A man Ln Central Indiana traveled 25,000 miles of highway and counted lying dead on the road 149 rabbits, 35 stiiulrrels, 42 opossums, seven skunks, five weasels, seven raccoon and three muskrats, besides domtwtic animals. The Indiana Conservation Depart inent cautions that motorists can help to reduce the death toll to animals by driving more slowly and watching out for wildlife. 1 o o The Institute of Life insurance issues a bulletin showing that the American people have 154 biliton dollars In savings. The report lists 54.9 billions in savings accounts; 49 5 billions in savings bonds; 41.3 billions in life insurance and 8.9 billions invested in savings and loan associations. Along with what they have in their pockets, checking accounts and other sources not listed in the insurance survey, that Americans are well-

What Causes Ringing in Ears

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. HEAD noises or ringing in the ear* called tinnitus by the doctor —la not a disease. It I* a symptom which may be brouxht on by a wide variety of conditions and what Is more, It may even be due to disorders not affecting the ear Itself. For instance, heart and blood vessel disorders, abnormal blood pressure and even hardening of the arteries in the brain may ail be responsible for a persistent and troublesome ringing in the ears Tumor of the brain may have the same effect. So may certain diges tive distitrbatdres, mental disorders. and allergy or overwensltiveness to certain food* or drug*. On the other hand, the cause may often l>e found in the ears themselves. Hard packed wax in the outer ear canal, middle-ear inflammation. damage to the auditory nerve and blocking of the Eustachian tube which leads from the throat to the middle ear are among the things which ciiuse a ringing nensatlon In the ears. With such a great variety of possible causes, it I* no wonder that search must first be made for the one responsible in any particular case This involves a thorough examination and study of each patient by the doctor. I Moreover, there is no single drug

to-do. ■ , ,0— 0 The Russians have no terms for Mr., Mrs. or Mias. Instead they address one another by the first name, with the father's first name added and stated as that of the father. Stalin would be to all Russians, "Joseph Vissarionovich,” or “Joseph, eon of Vissarion." Molotov is universally addressed as "Vyacheslav Mikhailovich.'' or ' son of Michael." So too with women. A man meeting a woman for the first time will call her by her first name, plus her father's, as "Darya Petrovna." meaning Darya, daughter of Peter.” There is no notion of familiarity involved. For the past six months, at Fort Knox. Ky„ a group of five hundred youths who volunteered for military training have been put through an experimental routine, which, while strictly military in aim. has also emphasized moral training. Taking to heart the criticisms most often levelled at army training, the army has given a freer rein to the chaplains in the camp. These chaplains, Catholic and Protestant alike, aver that the boys undergoing training are not only better soldiers but also better citizens than those trained before the war ended. Swearing, drinking, and gambling are almost unknown at Camp Knox, and regular church attendance Is general. These young men will be better fitted for their future duties as occupation troops after such training. A firm background of moral convictions, supplemented by instruction as to conditions in tlie countries to be occupied, should result in troops who can keep their own self-respect and win the respect of the citizens with whom they must cooperate o o— — The duties and responsibilities of a city planning commission were explained to members of the council and interested persons at the city hall last evening by representatives of the State Economic Council. I'hder state law. the commission is merely an advisory body, which when appointed makes a study of local conditions and then recommends that the council enact the necessary legislation for zoning and building requirements. Like other civic adjuncts to municipal government, the success of zoning is largely up to the community and the spirit with which the public accepts the recommendations. Likewise those named to the commission must be willing to donate hours of their time to the study of zoning and steadfast in their belief that certain restrictions are necessary in the protection of property rights. As the town grows, it appears that a Planning Commission could serve with credit and over a period of years produce good results in the interts of better town building and safeguarding of individual rights.

sufficient to control tinnitus. The giving of large dose* of vitamins, according to Dr Edmnnd Prince Fowler of New York City, may in some cases aggravate the condition. On the other hand. If there is a deficiency of secretion from such glands as the thyroid gland In the neck, the use of thyroid extract may be effective. When the tinnitus Is due to a disturbance of the Eustachian tube, Inflations of the tube are often helpful. Inflation consists of blowing air through the tube. It is quite a simple procedure. It may he necessary to carry out the treatment three or more times a week. Dr. Fowler believes the patient can be taught to carry out such Inflations himself before and after meals, on arising in the morning and at bedtime. Tinnitus In itself does not mean that the patient is losing hi* hearing. It is possible to measure the degree of tinnitus and thus to determine from time to time whether the condition is getting better or worse. Such measurements are often reassuring to the patient and help eliminate his fear of impending deafness. Ringing in the ears is not a serious disorder but of course it may be most troublesome and steps should be taken to find its cause and eliminate it without de l»y.

• ' CHAPTER FOURTEEN "BILL, TELL mi more about Rufus." Bill was standing before the bureau, loosening his tie. "Why Rufus, just now?" "Because Page is letting him Sve her & rukh." Diane considered ie could say that much of the troth. At that Bill si/ung around. “Page." Diane saw him frown. "What’s wrong with that?" Bill dropped his tie on the dresser top, jerked at the buttons of his shirt. "He's not Page's sort—” Diane sat straight. "You mean he isn't good enough for Page?” "Not that exactly. He's a fine fellow, all right, but his jackground, his way of living, of thinking. is entirely different from Pages. Funny, 1 never thought Rufus had time for girls. He never used to. Though Page is the kind who would attract him.* "Why?" asked Diane, a little Sharply. "Oh. she Isn’t always thinking about herself when she’s with a fellow. But I'd hate to see her get in too deep with Rufus." "Why?" asked Diane again. Bill thrust a rumpled head up through'hts pajama coat, a little impatiently. “Why are you so serious about all this? 1 mean that Rufus isn't the sort to tie up to anyone or anything for long." Diane lay back against her pillow. a faint dissatisfaction on her face. "I thought you considered Rufus one of your .riends." "I do. But because of that I can pretty well prediet what will happen! You'll see he won’t stay in this town. He'll be throwing over this job to go where there's a new cause he thinks needs his darned editorials. There Isn't a girl living who could hold him back." Diane’s lips broke into a smile. Bill's irritation was for the editorials Rufus was writing about the Staples trial, not that he thought Page too perfect! She said, happily: "Come over and kiss me good night" He kissed her, turned out the Hghta, got into hts bed. She reached from hers to draw the sheet up over h!» shoulder, patted his shoulder, as If he were a child. The next day her thoughts went often to Rufus and Page. Bill's friend and hers. When the trial was over they’d do things together, the four of them. Bill must stand with Rufos against the snobbishness of Page’s family. ' Rufus joined them at the ehib at the hour Ross had appointed for the next rehearsal, looking rumpled and durty and incongruous tn their midst, but completely ~ H * "“y despise a crowd like this, but he knows how to act ia it," Diane thought, satisfaction mingling with some wonder.

some music?” To Rufus, again, in a voice like honey: "You dance, don’t you?" Diane expected him to say he didn’t He said: "Mad about IL” They went to the terrace to go through their scenes. They were not quite so eager today; the novelty of the idea was wearing off a little. Wilma announced that they’d have to shoot at the next rehearsal because she had been invited to a houseparty which she didn't want to miss. "Well, step into it, then," ordered Rosa. Diane and Rufus sat again under the tree, this time sauntering over to it together. A taint breeze, stirring the canopy of .eaves above them, the hum of a mower on some far green, the swish of water from a spray, al. added to a pleasant sense of relaxation Rufus half lay on the ground, his head propped on an elbow, his gaze on the fairways rolling off to the horizon. "You could enjoy all this," he said, reflectively, "if you’d earned it!” He laughed, half apologetically. "That's a notion of mine, you see. To have to work for the privileges you get Leisure, particularly." "Did you work your way through college?" Though Page had implied that "Yep. Pushed a vacuum cleaner and aired dogs, first year. Stayed evenings with kids when their parents stepped out, typed, second year. Then I got a job as parttime secretary to an old fellow who was writing a book on bulls’’, flies. Tutored some.’’ She wished ho tell her more. Os when he *A’a.s a little boy. Perhaps then he’d had to make his own way. She asked impulsively: “Didn’t you have any family?" When he hesitated she regretted letting her curiosity carry her that far. She did not think he would answer her. But he did. after a moment, with a brief laugh that deprecated his words, “Yes, 1 had a family. I still have. A sister who's Uuing in a castle, 1 suppose you’d call it, somewhere outside of Milan. The Contessa di Cacchioni, to give her all she paid for. Another sister In Boston, bolding up the traditions of her husband's Back Bay ancestors. A brother who's a broker in New York—" Diane gave a little exclamation of delight Such a family must surely satisfy Page's parents! But Rufus finished: "I don’t know why I’m telling you of them. I never speak of them. They don't approve of me or 1 of them." He saw on her face the question she held back. He laughed again. "There's a skeleton, though It rattles only for me. The others think Uncle Steve’s a fine guy. Ever heard of Stephen Fearon, the Industrialist ? Sixty or so, now, and In the pink of health.
