The question that. one is Immed- iately Inclined tio flak, once h; grasps the size and scope of mt‘ eta-operative, movement is: Wna does it mean to the future of tti proflt symem? Ls It a threat to tti“ system. or merely a chakenge? Tut. ts a subject all by ltsett. This much may be said, however: If seine o. those 1n the movement have thetri way it will be no more than a chat- l lenge—a ehaletige for business to put. its house 1n order and to dem- onstrate that. the profit system is able to hold its own 1n the face of any competition. If others tn the movement have their way it wtlt be a real threat. rm ft. ts no secret that the "let." element. tn the move- ment. regards It as a means of undermining private etitcrprlse.

0i one constructive result of the tBuénos Alrest conference we can feel assured. The bilateral tariff treaties initiated by Mr. Hull have proved Instantly successful tn in- creasing trade and good will be- tween the United States and every nation with whom they have been signed. Conversations at Buenosl Aires will accelerate the completion, of tariff treaties with the SJUIII American republics. No doubt they will facilitate trade treaties beaveen the various Hispano-ftmerican nat- toiis and between these countries and itattons of other continents. The natural wealth of South Ameiica is scarcely touched. Business men of the United States are now ap- proaching the knowledge ot that. condition with courtesy and nun-it.- ity instead of arrogance. -— The Forum (N. Y.)

Two brothers in Stratford, aged l2 l and 14, broke into a home and siole .l money—-$2.50 to be exact. The nextl move was to g0 to an cs abttstimeti: l and jilay a slot machine until they had put; through the entire amount. Next came their appearancedn juv- ' ts recorded thei boys received sound spankings by] their father on suggestion from court officials. Chief of Polte: Beatty of Sratford had the mach- tne seized at which the boys had, been 1ilaylne. Whether n. rctuirl l spanking will be ordered for a inanl who would permit boys of 12 and 14 years to spend $2.50 tti his con- traption t.s not. stated. If such pun- fshment: was considered good for the boys. then it ought to be spiendtd for the adult whose machine ate up their $2.50.—Peterborough Examin- er.

Comparisons between aviation tn this country and in Europe are tn general meaningless. Although I have been unable to obtain any credible statistics, I do not. doubt it ooud be shown that. it ts safer to fly tn Europe. Blind flying with iaas- sengers Ls almost non-existent and more flights are cancelled. Eub- stdies are given directly, and in re- tum the European government gets control which tn most tnstanes is absolute. Civil nviattcn ts subordin- ated to military aviation, the forni- er being merely an accessory of national defence. That ts Europe. It ts foreign to the American idea of progress.

FITTING HEARING AIDS JUST AS GLASSES ARE FITTED

I ftnd myself writing frequently about the deaf‘ or those hard 01' hearing because to be hard of hear- ing means that one cannot; be a part of any group or gathering, large or small. Thus the tendency to withdraw one's relf from others. and to meditate upon the afflic-

tou ts very great. The hard 0f hearing are very apt to become melancholy and depressed.

However just as those whose eye- sight tr. defective are able to have the amount of vLston measured, and glasses prescribed that bring their vtston up to or nearly up to normal, so also are some of the latht. types of tieartng atcLs able to restore a reasonable degree of tiear- lng that. those hard of hearing can now become a pat-t, of their group or community.

Th1; has been made possible by setting a ‘unit of hearing, just as the eyesight ts measured by using metre: or feet as units.

The unit used to measure tiear- tng ls called the decibel, “which roughly represents the smallest tn- erease In intensity that. can be appreciated or detected by the normal ear" It t; a “logarlthmitf , unit. that. Ls 10 dectbeLs corresponds i‘ to a tenfold increase tn sound tn tensity 20 to a. hundredfold, and 30 to a. ttiousandfotd. The level of ordinary conversation i: about 55 decibels.

The regular London Correspond- ent of the Journal of the American Medical Association reporting the piper of T. E. Carpthorne at a joint meeting of the ear spedaltst. and throat. SDECBILSLS of the Royal Society of Medicine states.

“The method of’ estimating hear- ing capacity both for speech and , for pure tones lends Itself to accur- i ate reproduction so that unprove- ment with an ald can be measured. The audiometer (machine ured to measure degree of hearing) has the advantage over the tuning fork that its output can be raised, kept constant. or iticrrased at will and ts susceptible of accurate measure- ment. It l; far quicker and far more accurate than the tuning fork for measuring hearing capac- tty or ability for pure tones. A hearing aid department should be essential to every welt -equtpped hearing clinic."

This would mean that a patient could have hts hearing feted as he now has his eyesight tested and a. prescription given hm to take to a hearing aid store where a compet- ent dealer or assistant can ftt htm with the correct hearing aid he
