Test Early
To Find
Deafness
PROBLEM IS TO LEARN
CONDITION IN CHILD,
SAYS PHYSICIAN
By LOGAN GLENDENING, M. D.
For centuries the deafened patient
was considered a hopeless problem. A
child of school age who could not
hear was usually placed in the dunce
class or else relegated to seclusion
which made lief almost unbearable.
The problem was medical, social anc’
economic.
The most important feature of the
medical problem is to recognize deaf
ness in childhood to clear up such
relatively simple things as chronic
discharging ears, before changes have
occurred which result in advanoed
deafnes. It haa been estimated that
there are three million deafened chil
dren. in the tfnit&d States of school
age, many of whom coul dhave beer
improved or cured if the deafnes:
wer edetected at an early age. It can
safely be asserted that there are that
many deafened adults.
In a clinic for hard of hearing chil
dren, careful treatment resulted ir.
improvement in about 60 per cent
and an actual cure in a great many
who would have become permanently
deafened adults.
Conclusions Reached
Certain conclusions have been
reached from this and other studies:
(1) That deafness is not always due
to the ear alone. A painstaking gen
eral physical examination has to b
made. (2) Sinus disease of the nose
in childhood is extremely prevalent
in deafened children, and must be
cured if one wishes to improve tlv:
haering. (3) Nutritional factors are
of extreme importance in a majority
of cases.
Tests for hearing have greatly ini
proved. They used to depend almost
entirely on the human voice or or;
the ticking of a watch. It is said that
the famous Vienna otologist, Politzer
who introduced the treatment of in
slating the Tustachian tube with air
for the treatment • of chronic deaf
nes, used to whisper a soft word
such as “Rochester,” to his patients
when they first came for treatment.
After they lad been under treatment
a while he used a harsh word, such
as “Chicago,” which, of course, the;
heard better and thought that the’ 1
were improved. He regarded this a
as a contribution to th epsychology of
treatment, which undoubtedly it was
Alexander Graham Sell invented r
devioe to make his deafened wife
hear, and the result is the telephone.
We now have instruments, such as
the audiometer, in which sound can
be regulated exactly and a record ir

of time, of the degre of improve

telephone receiver connected with the
audiometer to one ear; and lever is
pressed down for the lowest tone (32
double vibrations), and the indicator
moved until the patient hears the
sound.
A loss of 10 to 15 per cent in hear

BURGLARY ATTEMPT
AT SERVICE GARAGJS
Police were investigating today the
burglary of the auto
mobile service garage at 311 West
Congress street. The garage is locat
ed in the rear of the Sears-Roebuck
store on Broughton street.
Some one pried an iron bar loose
from its supports to enter a tiny
compartment a cash register
and a small amount of mechanics’
clothing are kept. The case register
was open, empty and not distrubed.
One employe said a pair of shoes
were missing but he wasn’t sure if
they were stolen. Virgil Johnson, man
ager of the store, said the burglary
was the second unsuccessful one in
the past two months at the garage,
VETERAN FIRST
TO SUBMIT HIS
FINGERPRINTS
LOCAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
CHARY OF IDENTIFICA
TION SERVICE
The first person to appear at city
police headquarters with the reques
that his fingerprints be taken for the
personal identification file of the De
partmenb of Justice in Washington
since the innovaction was begun by
the government several years ago
showed up yesterday afternoon.
Inspector R. D. Doney, in chargi
ox the identification bureau of the
city police, explained that several
years ago the department of justice
opened a special file in their identifi
cation bureau records. In it all citi
zens were invited to record their
prints where they might be available
for personal identification in even*
of death under circumstances which
might make recognition of the ap
plicant difficult. The file is super
vised by a separate force which ha
no connection with the crimina’
identification bureau. It has often
proven its value since the innovation
was begun.
The privileges extended by the gov
ernment department, however, have
never been popular locally, it would
seem. The World War veteran whr
asked Inspector Doney yesterday tc
record his prints and forward them*
to Wsahington was the first such
visitor the inspector has had since
he has been ab his post. In other
parts of the country, prints for this
purpose are often made by police
identification bureaus and similar
agencies.

TODAY IS THIRTY-SECOND
RAINLESS DAY FOR
SAVANNAH SECTION
The 1889 record of no rain in Sa
vannah for thirty-two days appeared
matched today when the weather
bureau reported that no forecast of
showers could be seen for tonight or
Wednesday. With the sunny, dry
weather stretching ahead, there is
every possibility that the record will
be broken and beaten by some days.
Savannah has seen no rain since
the first part of April. The tempera
ture has been close to normal for
May, with the highest degree recorded
at 93. Though the days have been
pleasant, however, crops have suffer
ed considerably from the drouth.
There is a scarcity of fresh green
vegetables on the market, with squash
and snap beans particularly small
in quantity. Gardens are drooping
throughout the county. The flowers
usually found in abundance this time
of the year are smaller and shorter
lived.
