Disorder Os Middle Ear That May Be Caused By Air Travel

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.ft. FOR the great majority of people, air trayel causes no difficulty whatsoever. However, if a person is suffering from certain disorders, air travel may present definite hazards. But, with proper care, even in these cases the journey can be made with entire safety. Air travel has become so popular these days that people should Jmow more about medical disorders that may possibly occur as ! a result of flying, and how to pre- | vent them. In flight, the human ! body may undergo stresses I far I exceeding those of its normal ' home near sea level. Middle-Ear Inflammation A well-known complication of air travel Is an inflammation of the middle ear due to changes In air pressure. This has been given the medical name of aerotitis. Usually, when the air pressure changes, as In an ascending or descending plane, it closes of! the narrow canal between the throat and middle ear. This canal, called the eustachian tube, is the only natural outlet from the middle ear to the air. A rapid change in altitude sometimes closes this tube suddenly and forcefully, trapping high or low pressure air in the middle ear. This, can cause a more or less closed infection of the middle ear, with pain, swelling and inflammation and, sometimes, temporary trouble in hearing. . Keeping Tube Open Air travelers asre familiar with the usual ways of keeping the eustachian tube open and preventing middle ear infection. include swallowing and yawning, chewing gum, and eat-

p passed by congress, the UMT probably has been given the most earnest study. It appears tbajj i legislators do not Want the draft ' and the new military training law at the same time. Then too, this • is election year and many conI gressmen\ no doubt feel that mill-; tary training of youths in school: and college can be I postponed until next year. These always will be opposition to universal military i training in this country, but 1 with world conditions as Jh ey are, trained youth might hart's a better chance for survival. As Iphg al the draft law is in operation, thd proposed systerp may never get underway. \ ■ —-teO-ff—O— —' I . *| ■ m' ■ ■ | '' Doubly Foxy:— Some Pennsylvania woodsmen have discovered that there is more thin,one way tQ get bounties paidj; for killing foxes?. In certain! Ohio counties a set of four paws i 4 required to collect the bounty.: In Pennsylvania the hunters pmustf show the whole carcass. The ears are" then cut off and five dollars paid the hunter, who is left: With, a whole set of paws. He then goetK over the Ohio line and gets the I three dollars there, j ' ' ■ I I ' 'H Now that this foxy racket has been discovered it will no longer be so successful. Ohio border counties are railing for an entire carcass, too. l d i • : l Maybe there’s a moral in this—* and maybe if. there is: it requires; tnat states get together in such . matters.’ t Djvorce laws, gambling laws and a few other affairs beV: I ’ ! ‘ sides fox bounties need some sort >■ of standardisation among the states to be effective.

ing or drinking during flight, especially on takeoffs and landings. It might be well to have small children inflate toy balloons to help prevent middle ear complications. In the case of babies, it Is felt that they should be fed, especially during descents and landings, as sucking helps open the middle ear to the eustachian tub# * Above all, no passenger should be allowed to sleep during a descent. A sleeping person may \ fail to adjust the air pressure in the middle ear. I; ; $ Infection May Spread It is also difficult for a person to make these adjustments when he has a stopped-up nose< as In a cold, or other infection of the upper respiratory passages. There is a definite danger of such an infection spreading in the body during air travel. If a person has a severe cold or nose infection, he should postpone his flight, if possible. If he has a light cold, without too fameh nasal obstruction, 1t is safe to fly if the membranes have been shrunk with drugs, such as ephedrine. h | M If pressure in ths ears or the Inflammation of aerotitis cannot be relieved by these ordinary measures, there are special Inhalers or ear drops which may be helpful. If pone of these give* relief, a physician should be consulted immediately so he can reinflate the middle ear. ' “ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. S. R,: I am a woman 50 years old and have had one kidney removed. The doctors tell me my other kidney is perfect. Is there any reason why I cannot work? Answer: If your other kidney is functioning normally, there is no reason why you cannot work. ■ 1 *“*“ ■<»"—»' " ' '■» -V “ .. It

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR MUGGSY chewed on the end of a fingernail, considered Liddell’s story on the murdered Lunfar and his girl friend. “You think Brin went over and killed Lunfar to , shut him up?” She gave it another minute, then shook ne r nea d. “Maybe I’m wrong, but I can't see Hunt as a killer. Rigging roulette wheals, or romancing an old dowager out of her bond coupons, yes. But not a killer.” “Maybe Brin isn’t the top man, i baby. Maybe he’s just a cog.” “1 could buy that taster, than • Brin as a killer," Muggsy assented. Liddell got up from the couch, walked over to the windows facing out over Central Park. He stared down at the lights that flickered palely in the dawn. “Look, Muggsy, I have no right to tell you this. On the other hand. 1 have no right to let you get mixed up in this thing unless I do" He walked back to the couch, dropped down beside her. “This thing is bigger than rigging roulette wheels, bigger even 'than murder.” “I gathered that,’’ she told him ■ dryly. “You re not going out getting yourself on the wrong end of a murder rap for nothing. Tell me.*" “Remember the boys who came up to the office after Hong left? The ones with the search warrant?” Muggsy nodded. “1 saw them again last night,” Liddell told her. i “The ones that posed as Federal men,?” ■I Liddell nodded. “They were Federal men. That was a bona fide search warrant.” “What? I thought you said Byers at Treasury said he never heard of you or Hong or the package or anything else?” Liddell nodded. “He did. But he was under orders to cover up. Hong was an undercover Federal agent." * Muggsy leaned back liinply. “Go on.” Liddell grinned. “TJiat’s not all. It gets crazier as it goes along, believe me." He pinched his nostrils between thumb and forefinger “Remember the dame I told you about? The fortune teller that had a flat right under Hong’s?” “I think so. What about her?” “She was at Hunt Brin’s party last night, all decked out tn a fancy gown and a new hair-do. She was acting as hostess, no less!”

“Now wait a minute, Johnny. G-men who aren’t G-men, but really are G-men 1 can swallow. Now you’re asking me to believe that a broken down old doll travels with Hunt Brin's case society crowd." Liddell held up a finger. “Look at it this way. Goldy’s been around ten, fifteen years as far as I can figure. Check ?” Muggsy nodded. "If you say so.” “Okay. Now think back to those Clippings we had on Ben Ceria. About ten years or so ago, he had all the protection in this town Sewed up tight. So, to, Goldy, outside the law with her fdrtune tellin' he was really a big wheel, kneiy his way around. Now suppose she, gets a red hot idea tor a big take. Who do you think would be the first one she’d look up to Cut in on it ?” Muggsy worried her lower lip between her teeth. “Sounds okay. But where does Brin come in?” “Suppose the deal Goldy brings to Ceria is out of his class. Suppose he needs a good front with proper contacts? Who pops into his mind? His old buddy and partner, Hunt Brin!” Liddell waited for tn. argument, got none. ’They go into business together, cut the take three ways. Goldy provides the know how tn Chinatown. After all,, she knows ner way around like nobody else down there. Ceria provides the muscle. Brin provides the front. All nice and neat.” “Narcotics?” Muggsy guessed. ‘ "Bigger game. They’re\ shaking down the rich Chinese for ransom." "Ransom? You mean kidnap- 8 ing? There’s none been reported." L’ddell grinned bleakly. “N o t here. The kidnaping is going on in parts of occupied China. Relatives of rich Chinese in this country are grabbed and unless the rich American relatives shell out, the hostages are liquidated.” “You think that’s Hunt Brin’s new racket?” Liddell nodded. “Goldy the prospects. She knows who has how mudh over here and where their relatives are. She fingers the ones to be taken, passe) the information along to Ceria and Brin gets tt through to the Chinese warlords.” Muggsy whistled “That is a big deal. You're trying to crack that racket? That’s out of your class, Jbhnny. That’s international stuff.” 4

I Court House Room To Attendance Officer I The county commissioners have ■ authorized the use of the room on j the second floor of the court house, formerly occupied by sheriff Robbft Shraluka and\ later by • the army recruiting officers, by {Mrs. Mildred Foley, .county attendance officer. w • Fpr some tithe attendance officer has used the room just v.ast of the sheriff’s ofifee, which Is .the county library. That room kill revert to! the county superintendent of schools tor use again as.a wotinty library. The commissioners also ordered a telephone installed in tire new office of tjhe attendance officer. The board Stated that if and when .the cdunjty secures the service of a ebuntj- health hurse, the two offices would occupy the same room.

“Maybe. But I’m going to eithei crack it or die trying.” • "That doesn't sound too hard to do. Not the way these boys play!” Inspector Herlehy sat behind the battered old desk in his office, and glared at Johnny Liddell and Muggsy Kiely. “I’d probably be do- i ing you and the public a favor if I locked you up and threw the key away,” tie growled at Liddell. “Ypu re as irresponsible as a junior grade mdron." Johnny Liddell squirmed uncomfortably on the hardwood chair. “You’ve got me ail wrong, inspector, 1 tell you l»didn t kill Lunfar. can’t make it stick and you know it." Herlehy chomped indignantly on the wad of gum. “Maybe not, but 1 sure could make a good stab at it,.” He, swung around, regarded Muggsy Kiely from under bushy eyebrows. “You still stick\to your story that Liddell spent the night with you?” • Muggsy dropped her eyes, .exammed the lacquer finish on her fingernails. "He dropped by at about 2:30 or 3 for a coffee and I we didn’t notice how the time was flying.” She looked up. “It was motnmg before we knew it.” “Lovely!" Herlehy snorted. He got up from his ch&r, stamped across the room to the water cooler, ■ took a drink. “I’m warning you, LiddcilL If 1 hang this one on you,; I’m going to make it stick. I tpld yoill you didn't have a hunting license for Lunfar, andl meant iL Whether he deserved killing or not, you won’t get away with it.”\ “And if 1 can prove I didn't kill him ? ” Herlehy cahie back to the desk, stood with his feet braced in front of Liddell. “How?” “By getting the guy who did.” • Herlehy sneered. “You do that, Liddell. You bring him in add I'll personally buy you a new .45 to tak# the place of the one you so ■conveniently lost.” “1 didn’t lose it.; Whoever busted into my office stole it," Liddell corrected him. •! reported it first thing this morning." He grinned’ up at Herlehy. “Besides, I’d rather have my old gun back if you happen to find it.” i j “If we happen to find it, I have a hunch you won’t be having any further use for guns,” Herlehy growled. | (To Be Continued,} - ; 1 . 1 1,1 1 ? 11 ■
