...half years ago Dr. Glenn E. Willhelmy of St. Louis, a Naval Reserve dentist, reported to the Navy that such ear troubles, along with attacks of vertigo (". . . if mild the pilot does not mention it ... if severe, he crashes"), were most often found in older airmen. His conclusion was that normal wear and loss of teeth make jaws shut out of position, cause a partial closure of the Eustachian tubes. His remedy: an up-building of teeth by inlays and other dental means to make a youthful...
...aviators examined, Navy Dentist Lowry found that 83 had abnormal closure of the jaws. Most of them were older airmen and 33 of them had ear troubles. His remedy was simple. From wax impressions he made dental splints, bits of form-fitting vulcanite, which fit snugly over lower molars and hold fliers' jaws in proper position. Because normally these are needed only during flight a pilot can carry his in his pocket, slip it between his teeth before takeoffs, leave it in his locker after landing. Dr. Lowry said they work...
...moped over its music. Director of the San Francisco Fair's music, dollar-eyed, dewlapped Harris De Haven Connick, had pictured a rosy future on an $800,000 budget.

Mighty Johnstown, with mud in his eye, strolled in next to last, almost ear to ear with last-place Ciencia, only filly in the race...
...year ago New York's law makers, enviously noting that California collects some $2,000,000 a year from the 4% tax on the pari-mutuel handle at its race tracks, finally turned a deaf ear to lobbyists, passed (33-To-14 in the Senate, 110-to-36 in the Assembly) a resolution for a constitutional amendment to legalize pari-mutuel betting. Under New York law, however, it had to be passed by two successive Legislatures before it could be submitted to the voters for referendum...
