Noise Can Produce Deafness

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D WE live in a noisy age Hence, it t is well Io realise tha* noise, in ■ and of itself. may have bad effects so that we ran learn to pro-' tect ourselves against them Nearly everybody knows that exposure to loud, unaccustomed noises can be a source of nervous irritation Such constant exposure can ruin a disposition, making a person grumpy and cross: and also encourages inattention and lack of concentration But this is not the Worst -It can pr >du<e deafness For many years a <ondition known as occupational deafness hat be*-n recognized For example as long ago as IMO, a survey was made of 100 boiler makers who had followed their occupation for three or four years Not one of there 100 persons had normal hearing Loud Sounds It is quite definitely established that exposure to extremely loud sounds over a long period of time Will result in damage to the hearing The louder the sounds, the greater is the damage. The longer period of time the person is exposed to the noise, the more harm will occur and high tones are more injurious than low. The deafness produced in this way comes on slowly and the work er often disregards it until a great deal of hearing has been lost It is important, therefore, that every effort be made to prevent exposure to noise, or reduce It aS much as possible This may require th* re designing <4 building and machinery It seems Uni svsae psfsvM •»* t

m«re sensitive to noise than othi ers A worker who is quite sense' tive t<> noise should be transferred to some other less noisy occupa-' ’ tlon. Preventive Measure An effective preventive measure is the wearing of ear plugs which may be purchased or made I'nfurtunateiy. it Is often diffi< ult to get workers to wear them. I'nless, these ear plugs are carefully fitt<«<l, I they may be uncomfortable Furthermore. a fresh plug should be used each day in order to keep an infection from developing in the ear canal. The ear plugs, unless j kept clean, may keep materials in the ear and further the growth of fungi which may produce infection of the ear canal. However. It would appear advis- ; able that such plugs be worn and | deafness prevented even though they may cause some difficulties An external ear covering of some material like sponge rubber, held in place by a iiead band, may prove a more satisfactory answer to this : problem.

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT FOR AN HOUR Seton Alessandro nad sa'. in Jasper Fogg s cub-by-hole of an office on Tumblerock's main street, and that hour had filled him with an impatience that bad become almost agony. The swivel chair was hard and apparently designed to break a man’s back; the room itself was stifling, and Alessandro wished now that he d waited in his cool town house on the crest above. Taking a short turn about the room, he wondered if he could show himself at the inquest arid see how the proceedings were coming; but when he stepped to the office doorway, he saw the big dancehall disgorging the crowd. With a sigh, Alessandro went back to the chair. Fogg was slow in coming. At last the lawyer shuffled into the office, plopped upon a straightbacked chair and mopped his round, pink face with a handkerchief. His string tie was askew, his baggy, black suit looked as though he’d slept in it, and the lawyer himself had a beaten. Jaded air about him. Alessandro frowned and said, “Well-?" "It's over, Seton," Fogg announced. “Piute and that other cutthroat spoke their pieces like proper Poll-parrots. It did the trick. Rayburn's being held for trial." “How did Rayburn take it?" “He asked about you, and he made a little speech." Fogg said, and proceeded to relate it. A great, good humor began to take the stiffness out of Alessandro, and he said, “Fine, Fogg. Fine. You're a good man at your work when you put your mind to it Now I’ve got Rayburn where 1 want him!" •Tm damned if I see how," Fogg countered, a sharp note of exasperation in his voice. “This affair is bound to come to the attention of Helena, especially when Rayburn goes on trial for killing the governor's man. Perjured witnesses will hang Raybum: but the other Forlorners will still be pardoned, and you'll have lost in the long run. Seton. Is the satisfaction you'll get out of destroying Raybum worth that?" Alessandro said, "My luck's running high again. Look out there on the street, Fogg, and see who's ridden into town. Hail turn over here, will you?" Across the way. Tate Strunk was just swinging from a saddle, his thick shoulders sagging with weariness From the doorway Fogg calledssoftly and beckoned with a quick gesture of one pudgy hand. When the prison guard came across the street and framed himself la the entrance ta the office, Alessandro said, •'Where the devil have you been keeping yourself the last couple of days?"

O’~ * -• 11 1 ‘ —— "~i l Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 0 0 Q. How can a divorced woman who is using her maiden name include Miss in front of her name when sending ont her daughter's wedding announcements? A. A divorced woman with a ' daughter should not be using Miss" in front of her name, as it leads to social eompHcationa such as this one However, in this case, she can pin ' Mrs in front of hei maiden name, and give her daughter's full name on the announcement. (j If a toast is proposed to a person, should this person drink from his glass too? A No; he does not rise from his chair, nor does he drink the toast Q Is it obligatory for the bride's attendants to wear gloves? A It is preferable, 1 absolutely necessary.

it was in the tightness of his mouth. "1 tangled my twine somehow." he confessed. “That last night, 1 waited below the pass into Forlorn, sure that Halliday and McAllister would come by. But the only thing that moved along the trail was a freight wagon. Since then, I've been riding in circles, looking tor sign. I’ve seen enough bill country to do me a lifetime. I tell you, those two have vanished as completely as a lot of others who headed into these cussed Tumbleroeks," Alessandro smiled faintly. “It may interest you to know that the fre.ght wagon you let pass by you was carrying your flown birds. But never mind. Things have happened while you’ve been holding communion with nature, Strunk. Sam McAllister is back in the Tumblcrock Jail, and Clark Raybum is locked up with him—charged with the murder of Justin St. John." That spread a show of surprise across Strunk's face. “J don't get it," he said. “What's happened?" "The details aren't important," Aleasandro said. “There's a new job for you, Strunk—a bigger and better Job with pay that will put you on plush. Are you interested?" Strunk said, “Keep on talking, mister!" “Rayburn and McAllister will be in separate cells tonight. I'll talk to Sheriff Busby and arrange that. By dusk. Busby will be busy elsewhere. You will go into the Jail, help yourself to the keys and let Raybum out of his cell, Strunk. TeU him any kind of story that suits your fancy; he doesn't know you, and he probably won't look a gift horse too closely in the mouth. You might say that you ran into that school teacher. Hope Brennan, and she bribed you into freeing Rayburn. She happens to be his daughter. In any case, you get him out of jail." Strunk nodded slowly. "And then—?" "Head him toward Forlorn and ride far enough along with him ta make sure he goes back to the valley." ■What about Me A Ulster?" "He isn't so important now; once 1 wanted him dead so that he wouldn't give a certain piece of information to Raybum. But ]>erhaps he s already done that. Then again, perhaps be hasn't I have it! After you've freed Ray bum and started him north, slip back to the jait Shooting McAllister wiU be like spearing a fish in a rain-barrel It's tee cheap a chance to throw away." Strunk said. "I uaierstand." Hesitation tied his tongue for a moment, then be added. “You spoke of a good pay-off Cora job this sue." Alernmadre dipped into a pocket, produced a roll of currency and teased it to Strunk without eaamUAiAg A -Grt o( Wf.ffowZ.

Alessandro said. "1 don't want people seeing us together." Strunk gone, Alessandro smiled *t Fogg. “Now do you grasp the idea?" he said. “I’d planned to use Piute for the job, but Strunk makes a better man, seeing as Raybum knows Piute and would be suspicious. Besides, if anything, goes wrong, there's no connection between Strunk and myself. Butnothing must go wrong. Rayburn returns to the valley an outlaw; after his taste of the inquest, he'll know he'd stand no chapce at the trial If he's sensible, he stays ' holed up In the valley. And if the governor tries to root him out, I'm banking that the Forlorners will protect him. Our little outlaw sanctuary stays outlaw, Fogg." Jasper Fogg had the nauseated look of a man who'd tasted a bitter brew. "I think," he said slowly, "that 1 shall get very drunk today." Alessandro let him shuffle out of the office, then smiled to himself, a man who'd moved his pawns to their proper places on the board i and had only to wait now for the I inevitable completion of a carefully calculated play. He came to a stand, ready to leave for his house on the hill, hut Piute stepped quietly into the office, making a display of his yellowish teeth in a caricature of a smile. “Howdy, boss," he said. “I'm heading out to the ranch now." Alessandro nodded. “Fogg tells me you did a good job at the inquest." “I've been thinking about that," Piute said. “Perjury carries a stiff stretch in stony lonesome—even perjury at an inquest. Somei times a man is asked to do queer l things for the pay he gets.” i Alessandro said, "I know. I 1 i know. You've got a bonus com- > i ing." He felt in his pocket and , i remembered the roll he'd given I Strunk. "I've no money with me I now.” “Not even a litUe for the time I being?” i Frowning, Aleasandro knelt beI fore Fogg's safe and spun the dial “Wait a minute," he said. There was a sheaf of currency | , inside the safe; Alessandro counted ; off some bill* and passed them to 1 Piute. The new foreman's boots I were beating a departure down the . boardwalk when Alessandro thrust . the rest of the money back tntc the safe, but in doing so he duI lodged a pile of papers which spilled to the floor. Gathering i them, Alessandro was restoring i the papers to their former ptec* when he noqjced the thick rnvo- ’ lope which bore the name of the i governor of Montana i Swinging the safe's door shut, l Alessandro eame erect, that letter in his hand.
