Republican leaders seem wor ried over the fact that of the 2,500,000 federal employes, only about 17,000 do not come under civil service or the merit system. The shift in jobs due to retire- , ments and resignations is about 35 percent, leaving lean pickings for those who want to get on the payroll.- ■ c— —<j 7.

Wayne Morse who announced that he would vote with theJGOP in 'Organising thh senate. Nixon took a . Verbal slap at the distinguished Oregonian and party leaders are fearful that Morse may set a trap fdr the young Californian that will embarrass the' administration. Young Nixon rides high, but if he has ever read the old nursery rhyme he knows that Humpty Dumpty “had a big fall. i . I J* j _ ' - -fr 1 Gov.-elect George N.

Food Can Influence Deafness

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IN these days when everyone Is taking about food and diets, we should not be surprised to learn that deafness in certain cases may be influenced by the kind of food we eat. Physicians have discovered that patients who complain of hearing difficulties have too little of vitamins A and C in their diet. ? From these facts and others, it is believed that a deficiency in vitamin A may seriously affect the hearing. When the shortage is serious, it can be corrected by drugs containing adequate portions of vitamins. Some Causes. - . Os course there are many differenttypes of deafness. Often it occurs after an infection of the middle ear. Sometimes chronic infections are present for many years befdre they impair the hearing enough so. that it is noticed. m L Deafness-may also be caused by hardening of the bone which is necessary for conducting sound to the inner ear. Another type of deafness, known aa. inner ear deafness, is due to some disorder df the nerve which carries sound from the ear to the brain. Vitamin 4 Helps Careful tests are revealing which of these conditions respond to vitamin A. In one group of 300 patients, for example, most of the cases ot deafness were due

Orlando was blocked in his' desire to obtain Fiume*as Italy's, war prise and never forgave President ’ Wilson for obstructing his maneuver. He i an ardent nationalist, ii i world \ leader and a pian \of strong x-Opinions. In protest to Wilson's denial of Fiume, Orlando iefused ' {o sign the peace'treaty.

A dapable staff of instructors headed by Quentin Chaffee of Towanda. Pa., will instruct the 60 or mote students and embroyonic auctioneers \in the art of salesmanship and auction sale .technique. Founded in 1920 by the late Fred Ruppert, the school is the most famous dne Gs its kipd in the country'|and is now operated by the founder’s son, Dr. Rolland Reppert of this city. We welcome the Ruction students and wish them and their instructors great success *itt their specialized training and operation of .the, school. . \ - 7’' \ ; .7 o 0 , .7 With the appointments <|f Sinclair Weeks of Boston as secretary of commerce and Martin P.

Weeks, who served ||als secretary of war in 1 the Harding and Cobl7'idge cabinets and Durkin an AFL union leader and a Democrat. Gen.

As Americans we wish them full success in their responsible posts in government service.

to some form of middle ear disturbance, or to nerve deafness. These patients were given a hearing test, then received injections into a muscle of a vitamin A preparation —as much as fifty thousand units at a time. This was combined 'with camphor, lodoform and olive oil. Injections were given daily for ten days, then two times a week. ' JfU Half Benefited It was stated that about hall of the patients tested showed some improvement.' Even some with as much as 70 per cent hearing loss were aided by this type of treatment. J i Some good results-are at times being obtained when vitamin A is given by mouth, but they are not as consistent as by injection. Vitamin A in such large doses Should be taken only under the supervision of a physician. Usually a doctor who specializes in ear diseases may be of help as to the value of this treatment for the more difficult cases. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I.

Slushy Weather In I Majority Os Nation p Warm Air Pushing j Up From Southwest By UNITED PRESS ;* \Slushy, overshoe weather whs in store for most of the country today. \ It was still snowing in many sections of the Upper Atlantic seaboard today, \but the snow was Expected to stop during t|he day in the New York area and after dark in Upper New 'England. V The sparkling blanket of new snow that covered the nation from the Rockies to the\ Appalachians Tuesday -was turning into a mushy mess today as a mass of jnoist, warm air,, pushed northward from southwest. f I As the snow j alternately melted and refiroze. highways became hazardous and traffic accidents jumped sharply. - v T \■' Rain was general from Northern California to’the Pacific Northwest, except in the high mountain regions where it turned Jto > snow. Conversly, the snow alongthe East Coast turned to rain in the southern portion Os the Sealxxard. Drizzling rains were reported early today from the East Texas coast Oklahoma and light rain and fog from Missouri to JoWa and Nebraska. The moist air moving up from Texas was expected to bring fog to most portions of the Great Plains states and snow or freezing rain to the Great Lakes region. Light snows, accompanied by moderate temperatures, whitened the Rocky Mountain stqtels. 1 The Chicago weather bureau said that sporadic precipitation was in store for the rest qf the week for large areas easjt qf the Rockies, although no big storm fronts were in sight.
