Dr. David J. Good-friend Good-friend of the University of Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania believes. Studies at the university's special ear and throat clinic snowed that an abnormal dental bite can be an outstanding cause of faulty hearing. Dr. Good friend said in a report published by the American Medical association. , The studies proved, he said, that dental malocclusions (faulty bite) ' directly effect the eustachian eusta-chian tube, connecting the inner ear with the throat. Of a group of 25 patients with hearing complaints who showed no abnormalities of the ear itself, 23 were found to have an abnormal ab-normal bite, he said. In another test, 55 per cent of a group of 168 dental students showed dental den-tal malocclusions and their hearing hear-ing was 13 per cent less than those having normal bites. The progressive adult type of j tieatness. responsiDie in hj per cent of all cases, previously was considered incurable, but' the studies showed that proper dental den-tal treatment will help even progressive pro-gressive deafness of short duration. dur-ation.

She had no idea it would end close to midnight when the golden curtain of the San Francisco opera house fell on a wildly enthusiastic audience that rose to its feet to acclaim, her vocal gymnastics in the famed "Mad Scene." Miss Pons had been scheduled to sing the part in her second appearance with the San Francisco Francis-co company this season. At the last minute, she came down with a severe case of influenza that confined her to her hotel room. Miss Tumminia had to get up at 5:30 a.m. yesterday at ner San Mateo home, to take care of her 14-months-old daughter, Char-lene, Char-lene, "who also was ill with 'flu. Until 11:10 a.m. the furtherest thing from her mind was opera. "Then," continued the onetime Metropolitan Opera singer, who retired temporarily wnen her husband returned from overseas service, "Maestro (Gaetano) Mer-ola Mer-ola phoned." "He said to drop . everything and come right up to San Francisco. Fran-cisco. He wanted to, see it i couiu still sing 'Lucia'." She and her husband, an ex-army ex-army major and San Mateo businessman, busi-nessman, drove to San Francisco "in nothing flat." She had no chance to rehearse with the cast. A two-hour workout work-out with piano accompaniment was her only brush-up for the role, famed as one of the most gruelling and difficult. "I tnought I could do it all right, but I was terribly nervous ahead of time and all the way through the curtain," Miss Tumminia Tum-minia said. If her nerves were evident at all it was only for a few moments mo-ments in the first act, listeners said. They described her voice as richer and not quite as high as Moscow Patriarch Rebuffed in Move To Rule Church one of the most tortuous bits In the coloratura repertoire, Miss Tumminia got in her first and last rehearsal with the flute, i whose contest with the human voice U the most important part of the scene. As she left for the wings the diminutive soprano confessed to being "very nervous how they will take this." She shouldn't' have been. The flute duet stopped the show at the end of the scene she took eight curtain calls. "I guess Til go back into opera now,'' she said later. "When my husband came back from the Pacific I just had to 'retire so I could get to know him and the baby."
