RACE OF ELEPHANT-EARED
Vienna. Feb. 8. The noise and
clamor of modern city life are pro
ducing a race of elephant-eared men
and women, says Dr. Fritz Pfuffer, a
Vienna ear specialist. He predicted
that ini tlu? not too distant future hu
man beings will have auditory ex
tremcties the size of a daschund's.
Women says Dr. Pfuffer, will be hard
est hit. 1 he grand children of women
who now wear their hair over their
ears, will have to continue the fad
because their ears will be so un
sightly that they must be covered
up.
Dr. Pfuffer bases his prediction on
measurements of patient's ears dur
ing the last thirty years. The strain
on the auditory nerve when a per
son is listening to conversation amid
the din of city trafiic is responsible for
the change, he says.
SEVENTEEN DEAD. TOIL
OF NORTHEAST ST0EM
New York, Feb. 11. People of the
northeastern states, accustomed to
motor travel, tonight heard the old
fashioned jingle of sleigh bells as
horses were called forth to break
trails where motors could not go.
Twenty-four hours after the pass
ing of the second severe snowstorm
within a week, most highways were
impassable to motors, and all but the
principal streets in cities and towns
were likewise blocked. The two
storms left a snow blanket two feet
deep on the level ground, and many
frozen drifts six to 12 feet deep.
The death list as a result of the
last storm stood tonight at 17, and
the number of accidents was many
times greater.
The person who devised the ex
pression "As easy as taking candy
from the baby" never had a baby.
