SIM SHIELD TOURNAMENT

́ ́COMMENCED.

The firet of the series of hockey matches in the Sim Shield competition was played on the United Services Recreation Club ground yesterday afternoon, between the Royal Navy and the Army, the game going in favour of the military team by three, clear goals.

The Army players showed superler combination, and throughout the Look up tha offensive. They found Lieut. Taylor equal to the occasion and always had difficulty in netting. Several times they nearly scored, wild shooting be. ing one of the failings of the Army forwards, who however, showed bet ter necuracy in their passing than their opponents.

ENTRIES FOR THIRTEENTH EXTRA MEETING.

Mr. Seaton, prosecuting, stated that the housemaid, Miss Mary Rose, received a letter bearing the Cardiff postmark and signed "Will Richards," asking for money to get to France. She took no notice of it, and got a second letter from Pontypridd, which read:

Miss Rose, he said, informed the police, and on their instructions Aent reply, with the result that Davies was arrested.

Davies said that he had no in- tention of blackmailing Miss Rose, It was a mad prank."

Detective Sergeant MeTaggart stated that Davies had had several convictions and had done no work for years.. He got to know about Miss Rose through a man he met nothing prison. There was whatever against Miss Rose,"

If more people would go to the police, said Mr. Justice Swift, in passing sentence, blackmail would be much less dangerous.

ELECTRIC KETTLE

DEATH.

-OFFICIAL REPORT ON PORTER'S FATAL SHOCK,

Precautions in the use of electric Colonel A. C. Trench, the Ministry -cooking appliances are suggested by of Labour inspector, who has been investigating the death of P. V. Stocker, a kitchen porter, who was killed by shock from a fish-kettle in an L.N.E.R. dining-car.

One of the most important dis- enses of the ear with which the otologist has to deal is the inflam- mation (otitis) of the middle ear. Our present-day methods of sur xical treatment have been developed to such an extent that when all other treatments prove unavailing

they can even be applied in the event of the suppurition affecting the brain. From this remark, how- ever, it may be inferred that the disease concerned is apt to lend to dangerous complications, and this is indeed the case.

Ita serious character is due to the smallness and sensitiveness of the human car in general and to the fact that it is so closely connected, by its position, with the brain cen- tre and several large arteries and veins. Even when the inflamma- tion does not affect the brain, it may happen that malformations are formed in the middle-ear region and that the faculty of hearing many be greatly impaired in consequence. Sometimes the so-called "inner enr," be the actual centre of our acoustic system, is affected in connexion with the inflammation, and as this part is exceedingly delicate, it may easily happen that it suffers irra- parable damage.

In order to prevent these and other dangerous developments, the practitioner has at his disposal two principal kinds of treatment, viz., the treatment with or without operation. Whenever it is possible, he prefers the latter of the two methods a method which, in the

It has already been emphasized that a neglected cuse of inflamma- tion of the middle ear may lead to deafness or other serious defects. Sometimes, however, these diseases are due to quite different causes. One of them, for instance, is syphilla, either in its acquired or in its inherited form.
