Almost every newspaper in the country will carry such a line at the head of its lead editorial today. Some of them will tell their readers to get out and vote for their own candidate. Some of them will tell their readers merely to get out and vote. That's us. *** Today winds up one of the most extensive non-presidential election campaigns in years. The political dopesters have forecast a Republican house of representatives and perhaps even a Republican senate. ** The Republican dopesters, that is. One of the evils attendant upon our modern civilization and the improved means of communication is the unfortunate effect on voters as a group. Voters used to hear a few political speeches, attend a few rallies, talk it over with the boys on the street corner or around the cracker-barrel, and then go out and vote for the man they thought best. But now, with opinion polls and official and un-official predictors from all over the country, they figure out who is going to win and some of them probably cast their vote for that reason alone. Whatever the issue, people like to be on the winning side. That's what is known as "getting on the bandwagon." --hearing, the study concludes, may well explain the number of traffic accidents in which a driver fails to hear an oncoming locomotive, a fire engine or an ambulance. The Republicans, anyway, are itching to get back into the driver's seat in national government. It's been 14 years since 1932 and Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration. With a depression just around the corner (they say), national and international problems what they are, some people wonder why the Republican are so eager. *** Whatever the outcome, a lot of people have gotten deeply interested in the election. And that takes a lot of getting. Twenty-five years ago — High French heels and pointed toes for women were deplored by Dr. Martha M. Bacon, associate professor of physical education. In a two-year search Dr. Bacon had found only one perfect pair of feet on the campus, she said. (From the Daily Kansas files.)

And If That Ain't The Way You Heard It, You'd Better Have Those Ears Examined * * Minneapolis, Minn. (UP)—By the time you're 35, there is a chance you will have lost part of your hearing without realizing it. That's the conclusion of a study by the Northwestern National Life Insurance company. It found that between 5,000,000 and 7,000,000 Americans have difficulty hearing in one or both ears. And about half that number are seriously handicapped by their deafness. In children, catarrhal conditions and diseases involving high fever are the major causes of poor hearing. As people get older the chief reason for deafness is circulatory trouble, such as high blood pressure. The insurance company learned that approximately 1,500,000 children have minor hearing defects that should be given attention to prevent them from becoming serious handicaps. Treatment with streptomycin, penicillin and sulfa drugs has almost eliminated a former cause of deafness among World War I veterans—meningitis. Persons who work where there is lots of noise—such as riveters, welders, boilermakers, tractor operators—often suffer from "boiler-maker's ear." That a condition where hearing may be normal or near normal in the middle and lower ranges of sound, but can't distinguish high-pitched tones. Elevator operators and airplane pilots also suffer from that kind of deafness. The answer—in part—is either brief rest periods at regular intervals or ear stoppers.
