The Bridgeport Post quite rightly
administers s. rebuke to the Ansonie
Sentinel for its criticism of Congresr
man Schuyler Merritt’s comment on
prohibition. The sentinel esteemed
it Congressman Merritt‘s duty to as-
sure himself that a majority of his
constituents were of his own mind
about the unwisdom and impropriety
of the 18th amendment before he
took any action at Washington on.
favorable to its continuance. The
Bridgeport paper rightly says that
the congressman is under no such
necessity whatever. This is no new
view taken by Mr. Merritt. Ho op.
posed the original prohibition reeo.
latter: in Congress and ratification of
the amendment and voted against
the Volsiead set. This is history.
and the voters of the fourth district
knew the congressman's ‘ attitude
when. a year ago last November.
they gave him a majority at about
“.000 votes. Congressman Merritt
certainly has a‘ right to assume that
his attitude? is approved. in his dis-
trict. It a referendum proved other-
wise he would doubtless assure the
voters that they were at liberty to
elect some one else. There is alto-
getlicr too'rnuch 'dodging in Congress
over the prohibition issue. altogether
too much hypocrisy subservient to
that element of the public represent-
ed here in’ Connecticut by those who
demand that tectotaiers be elected
to the Legislature. Congressman
Merritt has not said the prohibition
law should not be enforced. He has
opposed warmly the presence of the
prohibition amendment in. the con-
stitution and denounced theicondi-
tion which permits one state to en-
forcetits will on another as regards
sumptuary legislation. Too little at-
tention has been paid to this aspect.
of the case. and Congressman Mer-
ritt should be respected for express.

The cost of the work amounted to

‘ Many do not understand how doi-
icote are the organs of hearing.
The human ear is essentially a me-
chanism by which vibrations of the
air carried to the brain.
When a musical instrument is
played it sets the molecules nearo
out it in motion. These strike the
next and so on. the motion of the
musical instrument being transmit-
ted through the car like a wave.
The human ear is divirded into
three parts or chambers. according
to the arrangement of the mechan-
ism of sauna transmission. These
are known as the outer. middle and
inner ear. The outer car consists of
a. shell of cartilage which gives to
the car its shape. This shell is coy.
cred with'skin.
A canal leads from the outer car
into the head and ends in a thin
membrane called the ear drum. in
this auditory canal are glands se-
creting wax. The middle ear con-
sists of a chamber in the temporal
bone bounded on the outside by the
drum. .
Two Condo.
The cavities forming the inner ear
consist of two sets of canals in the
solid inner part of the temporal
bone. One canal bends two and a
half times around a. circular column
resembling very much a circular
stairivhy or a. small snail. This is
known as the cochlea. The cochlea
opens at the lower end into a tiny
chamber which also connects with
the other canals. These canals are
the semi-circular canals. three in
number. and lie at right angles to
In the cochlea is a sort of pro-
Jecting shelf of bone and on lllis
sheis rest the cells which consti-
tute the real hearing part of the
car. This consists in part of «rolls
having connection with the nerves
of hearing and ending in tiny heirs
which project into the liquid oi lilo
canal. .
. Sound Hits Drum. .
The sound waves now entering the
auditory canal of your ears are
striking upon the our drum. Tins
drum is set in motion and is pulling
on the small. bones attached to it.
The end of the stirrup is now being
pulled back and forth on the mem-
brane, to which it is attached in the
entrance of the inner car. This is
producing waves in the liquid of the
internal car. the hairs on‘the cells
of the cochlea are vibrating in the
liquid in which they'float and this
is stimulating the nerves which are
carrying the lmpuisc‘ to the brain.
Your brain cells are interpreting
these stimuli as sounds. This, in
brief. is a simple description of the
structure and action of the human
car. You can readily see that the
organs of hearing are indeed com-
plex structures delicately adjusted.
Human mechanism of such line
construction and adjustment must.
therefore. if it is to function
completely. be treated with the
same care and consideration-es a
delicate mechanical instrument.
