Applications of alum will usually cure a case of ingrowing nail in about five days. The ap- plication is not painful in the least and is usually effective. Ap- ply a fomentation of soap and water for 24 hours beforehand, and then pour the alum into the space between the nail and its bed, tamponing with cotton to keep the alum in place, and repeating the application daily.

Washington in New Hampshire, scientists have discovered that they contain sul- phurio acid and that this corrosive element probably plays a part in the mysterious process of forming raindrops. 3 Lo SE STATURE AND BLOOD PRESSURE A relationship between physical build and high blood pressure has been determined by Dr. 8. C. Rob- inson, of Chicago, who presents in the "Journal of Laboratory and Clinical. Medicine" the result of studies of 5,000 men and women. He found that it generally is the person who deviates from medium build who develops difficulties due wo either high or low blood press- ure. The tall person and the broad person are much more likely to have high blood pressure than the medium individuals. --n INSECTS' LIGHT PREFERENCES Bright and blue Mghts are pre- ferred to dim and red lights by nightflying insects, including mos- guitoes, according to experiments By L.

NEW TREATMEN™ FOR DEAFNESS © A treatment for deafness, using ing the spine as a spigot to with- draw excess pressure from the ears, was recently reported to the Am- erican Association for the Advance- ment of Science.

The result has been marked improvement in hearing in more than 40 per cent of the cases of progressive deafness in which it wag tried. --O WOOD INTO SUGAR By forcing treated wood to "in- hale and exhale" gas pumped into it under pressure a yield of 50 to 60 per cent sugar has been obtain- ed, according to a report of Ru- dolph L.

According to usually reliabe sources, "Red" Wilson and Jin Smith were the starting pitchers High Official circles in Deyork announced that-the Dodgers were victorious by a score of 5 to 4. However, a dispatch from Cinn- burgh claimed the Cubs to be the winners, 6 to 3. Deyork news agencies reported that the feature of the game was a home run with bases loaded by their slugging first baseman, "Hank" Ottwick. This devastating blow, coming in the ninth inning with the score tied at 1-1, was alleged to have turned the tide of battle in the Dodgers' favor. Cinnburgh cor- respondents flatly denied this re- port, claiming that Ottwick's high fly was caught near the flagpole in centerfield by the sensational rookie Ted McTroskey. An umpire, whose identity re- mains unrevealed, issued what some observers believe to be an, authentic report, but %is state- ments were censored so closely as to be of little value. Informed circles believe, however, that the Cubs may have strengthened their position in the league standings by this recent offensive.
