The Anti-Noise Crusade

Washington should pay grateful con-

OF New York, who is In the city in adyo-
cacy of her plan to reduce the unnecas
sary noises Of urban life Mrs Ric. has
had a strenuous time in her own bor

In favor Of the suppression of screcchfng

Is urging upon the Commissioners the
adoption Of means TO lessen the turmoil

- The national capital is net a noisy CITY
as compared with some others. It's streets
are smoothly paved almost without ex-
ception and it has no heavy trucking
traffic such elsewhere sweIls the daily
din of trade But 1T is none the less
more boisterous than is needful and il

tremendous din from morning until night
is slow and unenterprising. The truth Is
that often the less noise made the more
work is done. This truth Is slowly seep-
ing into the minds of men, and up-to-date
merchants and managers of large trade
operations have learned the lesson that
better results come from quiet efficiency
than from clamorous hustle. The best
ordered mercantile establishments are
peaceful because of their perfect system,
and the work is never hindered by need
less scampering to and fro. .
In the streets there Is a wider oppor-
tunity for noiseless traffic now than ever
before. Motor trucks have come into
practical use in such numbers that 1t Is
possible today TO move goods through
city with one-twentieth of the clatter
that was formerly believed to be required.
BY the adoption of wise regulations 10

A picturesque exponent of the healthful
art of walking is the march again.
A news Dispatch from Portland, Me,
SAYS:
"Cheered by several thousand citizens.

Edward Payson Weston of New York

80 mile walk to Chicago. He expects
to Guido his record of twenty-six days
made forty years ago. when he was in

The world does not walk enough Rid
ing has become so cheap and has davel-
oped into such a general custom that the
man who walks Is apt to be looked down
on very poor. very mean or very &C.
centric. With the increase of unwhole-
some haste. and the increase of transpor-
tation facilities, walking has fallen into
disuse and disrepute. The prosperous and
exclusive man rides in his private con-
veyance: the man who is not SO exclusive
not SO prosperous rides in a pubic
car. and tho other kind Of men stand still.
