HICCOUGH
By Dr. W. J. Scholes
At some time or other almost ev-
eryone has suffered from the annoy-
ing symptom known as hiccough..
S eo le probably on account of
While the great majority of attacks symptom of disease' affecting the
of hiccough are 'correctly regarded as,
nothing serious, we occasionally read
in the newspapers of a 'prolonged at-
tack of hiccough having been tate er u-
se of death: The fact that death from
this cause is in itself regarded as news.
would appear to indicate that it is it-
self regarded as news would appear
to indicate that it is comparatively
rare.
The immediate 'cause of hiccough-
ing is a sudden contraction of the dia
phragm, the muscular and tendinous
partition between the abdominal and
chest. cavities. Quite often the attacks
are brought on by some "disorder of
the stoinach or intestine caused by
hasty eating or drinking, over eating,
or eating the wrong kinds of foods. It
is generally known that overindul-
gence in alcohol has hiccough as one
of its symptoms.
Most Cases Stop Quickly
Most of the ordinary attacks of hic-
cough stop spontaneously within a
short period of time, That is, pet:
haps, the reason wary there are so
many "cares." Whatever happens to
have been done about the time that
the attack ceases receives credit for
the cure. Drinking water, holding the
breath, pulling on the tongue, sneez-
ing,' .and promoting vomiting by
brain, as; well ,as of such diseases as
diabetes and chronic Bright's disease;"
It is 'probable that some -such serious
;disease may have been an important
factor i;tv.eausing same of the deaths
attributed to persistent hiccough..
f Correction of faulty dietetic habits
will often prevent tre ordinary at-
tacks. If the cause is hasty eating
and drinking, or eating too much,
thesebad1 habits should be corrected.
Any particular foods which' are
known to be likely to bring on. an at-
tack, should be avoided.

While most cases of hiccough are
not serious, attacks that persist for
hours or days may be a sign of seri-

treated by a physician. For hiccough

ARE ;YOU UP ON, FI.IIifC.
SLANG?
By Erwin Greer
The "outer day a frlead: of - mine
came into the school with 11YLajor Mo-
Gaw. Meet the "Flying. Fool he inn;
Itroduce.d, I shook handa with; the
'Mar and,according_ toA his. nick-
?
name, mentally classi£ied, ini as one
of these crazy dare-devila whostunt
an airplane just toamuse the crowd.
Later, at , a 'flying, field,. I discovered
that the name "Flying,Fsol" was about
the highest compliment that could be
paid a flyer. . All. of; which leads upto
the picturesque: air:• argot and trade
jargon of the mem who fly: It is a
language all its•.' own.:
A take -off, is. the . net of an airplane
leaving the groin&. When a plane
crashes it is, a "csaek- up" or a "wash
out," --And, when a flyer is "washed
out" there isn't arty -more.
Airplanes• are "ships" unless not
regarded as, air worthy. Then they
are "crates,.. The DeHaviland is a
D -H. The Curtis JN is a Jenny.
Bombing is "laying yggs." Naval
flyers axe "Mud Hens" so called be-
cause invariably in a forced landing
they ddpp: into 'marshes or swamps:
along: the ocean edge. A recruit is a
"Flying K. P.; And actually he is
peeling -potatoes -even though. he is in
the air service' Adjustments' and ov-
erhauls of motors are called "Mani-
cures." A "sandbag" is a passenger.
A short flight is a "hop." "Night
flying" is #hop talk. Those who par-
ticipate are called "barrick. bombers."
A "porpoise' is . a poor landing.
Shop talk is taboo at social gather-
ings and the command -to cease such
conversation is expressed by "Put that
ship in the hangar."
"Tail spin" is the idiom for being
embarrassed. Thus a pretty flapper
inay have flustered a flier so that an-
other pilot will say: "I(nocked him in-
to a tail split," ' Faux pas is "a skid."
An argument starts this way: "I'll
knock you for a row of tin Hangars."
And the fellow who cracks up more
than one ship is called a "deuce."
And the "perfect deuce" is the dub
who has cracked up five ships and
still lives to tell the tale. He puts it
this way:
"During the war I got five planes
to my credit." .
