CITY YOUTH HEARS BETTER THAN COUNTRY BROTHER Washington. Auer. '.'"That the couibry youth is not able to hear so well as his city brother, and that only about one in five of the former possess the auricular acuteness of the city bred lad is tho opinion of officers ut bhe head of Marine Corps recruiting in this citv. Thetr deductions are based on tho number of country boys rejected for poor hearing. Many persons believe that the con tinual iarrincr noises of the city 'Have a tendency to dull the sensitiveness of the nervo centres. However, this is not borne out by the figures of the, Marine Corps officers, who believe that the auiet life of the country, I free from noises, has a tendency to weaken, through disuse, the respon sive nerves in the ear. Scientists point to innumerable par allels in nature where the disuse of an organ gradually reduces its fun ctioning power or eliminates it alto gether. Tho blind fishes in the dnrk pools of Mammoth cave are a notable example. (Continued from Page One) charge of the Red Cross work in France.
