GARBAGE WAGONS RATTLE ON
TWENTY-SEYEN REPORTED AS
PEACE DISTURBERs.
And Noise Crusade May Get the
Scissors Grinder and His
Clamorous Bell,

The police OF the District of Columbia
have taken the field in the first campaign
in the War on Noise.
A sharp ear is kept to the ground for
offending garbage wagons. Today the su-
perintendent Of police has reported to
Commissioner West who has supervision
Of the police department, that twenty
seven wagons were found without the
mufflers or rubber cushions to deaden the
rafting of iron tops.
Commissioner West has asked his col
leagues to join him in a warning to the
Washington Fertilizer Company. which
has the contract for hauling the garbage,
exacting compliance with the terms of its
contract requiring mufflers upon the wag-
ons, and also to require the street clean
ing department inspectors to note whether
the conditions are remedied.
Numerous complaints have been made
about garbage wagons rafting along the
streets at early hours of the morning. The
residents in the neighborhood of Wash
ington Circle say the noise is a nuisance.
and have been loud in protest
The superintendent of police has de.
termined that the noise made by the
bell-swinging scissors grinders shall be
mitigated. Complaints have been nuner-
Gus. In the police regulations there Is
nothing to prohibit ringing Of bells of the
size used by the grinders. The superin-
tendent of police has recommended that
the Commissioners permit him to draw UP
a regulation to govern the size Of the bell.
He believes that he can bring into vogue
a dainty little bell that will annoy no one.

From Harper's Weekly.

One Of the oldest Paris firms for gold
and silk embroideries, a house which had
already served Louis XVI and his court
with highly artistic neediework is still
in possession of It's accounts OF former
centuries. An inspection Of these books
reveals a good summary of the luxury ex-
penditures of the French court-the Bon
apartistic as well as the legitimistic. Ma
poleon I, who for his own wants was, in
contrast to the spendthrifty Josephine,
very economical, went, though. to a large
expense when it was for representa-
tive gala dresses. The 10000 francs
which re had to pay for the embroidery
on his coronation robe he did not con-

Of Napoleen's throne was 50 $40 francs.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. August 19.-The seeming
" critical labor situation In the Ptttsburg
coal district was a piece of bear news
that had little effect upon the market to-
day. To be sure. there were reports that
the seriousness of the situation had been
exaggerated. but it was evident that trou-
BILE was brewing. nevertheless. Why so
little attention was paid to the matter was
perhaps due to the fact that Wall street
has seen not q few threatening labor dis
putes amicably adjusted within the last
year or two. and felt confident that the
present trouble would be averted likewise
The public participation in the stock
market is being restricted by the Lawson
campaign. which many brokers sorely adj
nit There is just enough fear on the
part Of a great many persons who operate
in the stock market that the Boston man
may kick up some real ruction that they
are holding off until this new speculative
spasm of his is over. Experience seems
to show that the best chances lie in cop
which he makes with his advertising Is
impressive enough to brighten those who
at heart have no real confidence In him. =
The annual meeting of the American
Smelling and Refining Company Is due
the first week of September. and also the
meeting of the board Of directors to act
upon dividends. There has been consider
able talk of an increase at that time of
the present quarterly rate Of l per cent,
but those we'll informed as to the state
of the company's earnings do not believe
that such action will be taken. The smelt-
ing business has improved the last six
weeks. but it IS not thought that the
company's surplus earnings after the pre-
ferred dividends are sufficiently in excess
OF 100000 to warrant an increase In the
common rate. No cut is expected OH the
other hands. The action Of Shelters in
the market Of late would indicate this.
The most favorable thing that can he said
about Shelters at present is that 1t is in
q strong position to take profitable advan-
tage in the Improvement in the metals
trade.

No Buns on the Docks.
From Everybody's.

OF the thirty thousand men on the
docks, nine-tenths are clean, hard or mus
Gle, steady supporters Of families. Watch
any huge gang leave a dock after a long
rush of work, and you will see the large
majority make straight for their homes In
the big tenements nearby. Even Of those
who do crowd into saloons, few stay for
more than an hour. No habitual drunk
ards and buns can do the work Of the
lockers.
But as elsewhere in America. SO here,
there are the one-tenth who 60 down.
men who, after the long, exhausting
strain, yield to the constant temptation IN
the ensuing stretch of idleness. Spree
follows spree. Little by little the man
drops out Of the regular gang: little by
little his face becomes habby and red, his
muscles grow soft-and he becomes q
"ShinangO."
Perhaps there are three thousand Of
these in all, in New YORK, Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Brooklyn; some are down
solely because of the drink: others Grip
pied by accidents or the ''rheumatics. :"
Wrecks of the rush, who still do occa-
sional jobs to get money for drink. From
them come the police court stories Of
wife-beating, starving children, tenement
homes ugly and squalid and cold
But. in spite Of all this. in the big strike
OF year ago the men made only one de-
mand-deeply typical OF America. No
shorter hours. no measures to lessen the
trrrific waste OF life-but-
I'VE average only Sill week. Give US
higher pay!'

Men, Women and Style.

Nay, madam. never look so scQrnfully at
me. Don't tell me that these wild con-
traptions are all worn by you to please
the men-folks. Was ever a fashion any
thing but comic to the men-folks7 Aren't
they for everlasting making fun of what
you wear? We're just as bad as you are,
just as much slaves to style, only we
don't go at it in such slambang, pa g.
rich-and-ma-don't-c way as you do.
swooping from one wild distortion to an
other. And that's the sad part of it. The
changes are SO microscopic. and yet so
necessary to our self-respect. that life.
for us. is just one long. agonizing worry.
That man who looks SO swell in evening
clothes: you think he's happy. Little you
know! He has just discovered that he's
the only man there with black tie on.
When a wOman's headgear gets out Of
date she rescues from the wreck the POM
pons and the plumes, the buckles and the
bugles, ribbons. rosettes, glass cherries
and muslin buds-all kinds Of ornamental
Junk that she can use another time. She
can pull and yank the wire frame into
the very latest style; nobody'll ever know
the difference. But between last sea-
sons silk hat and this seasons there Ia
je-e-e-est a leetle mite Of difference that
defies all making over. The little more,
and oh, how much it is! No guilty wretch
caught in the act of stealing sheep can
possibly feel more like sneak than the
man caught wearing a last years hat.
And IL he doesn't feel that way, the more
shame to him! He ought to.

Right WAY for Roads to Run.


1t has now been discovered that il we
want to be happy and healthy we must
live on roads which run from north to
south Furthermore, it is affirmed that
those who live on roads which run from
east to west are Invariably found to be
depressed and dropping, like flowers
which are not doing we'll.
This Is a fact which we can each put
to the test by noticing whether those OF
our friends who live between these two
points of the compass are less CHEEKY
than those who live between north and
south. Without doubt there Is some
thing in the theory. which amounts to
this, that the roads running north to
south get all the morning sunshine and
best light. and i'm the morning human
beings, like plants. require these or
their tempers. health and spirits are
depressed.

SUE TO RECOVER DAMAGES.
Two Plaintiffs Act Today in the
District Supreme Court.

Suit for damages in the sum of $4,000
was filed today in the District Supreme
Court against the Capital Traction Com
pany. Wayne McDougall appearing as
plaintiff. The latter claims she was
thrown to the ground while alighting from
a car at 14th and K streets northwest and
painfully injured. Negligence on the part
of the company's employees is alleged.
In another damage suit entered today,
the National City Bank is named as de-
PENDANT, and $4,000 is specified as the
sum which would be balm to the injured
feelings of John Windolph. The latter,
who is a hotel and restaurant proprietor.
claims to have been a depositor in the
bank. and the suit grows out of the alleg-
ed refusal of the institution to honor a
check for $500 which Windolph gave to
the Heurich Brewing Company. The plain
tiff declares he had ample funds in the
bank to meet the check. His claim for
remuneration from the bank is predicted
on the belief that his credit was dam
aged.
P. A. Bowen, jr.. appears as attorney
for the plaintiff in each case.

SCIENCE NOTES.

One of the early criticisms of the new
Tungsten lamps was that they were
very fragile, large percentage of them
being broken in shipment AS the first
cost of these lamps Is rather great, as
compared with those Of the ordinary in
candescent type. the matter was regard
ed as a serious drawback. but it Is nov
announced that this has been overcome.
and the lamps are almost as substantial
as those having the more familiar carbon
fllament.
The cable repair business in the arctic
regions is very active. In the last rev
years a great deal of submarine cable was
laid by the government and by private
enterprise but the service has been rem
dered unsatisfactory because of the great
number Of breaks which are occurring
all the time. These are mostly due 10
earthquakes and volcanic disturbances.
new and active volcanic disturbance
was recently reported in the vicinity OF
Valdez, and when the workmen visited
the location with the view OF repairing
the damage it was discovered that the
cable was completely buried for a long
distance under volcanic of1erfioT.
A number of x-ray workers have been
seriously burned by the Roentgen ray
while orking and experimenting with 1t.
In some cases it has been necessary to
amputate fingers and hands in order to
save the life of the unfortunate one. One
of these persons is DR.. Albert q. Geyser
of Cornell, N Y. who has had both
hands seriously disfigured and narrowly
escaped amputation. The world shall
profit by his experience, however, for he
announces that he has invented Roent-
gen ray tube from which there can be
no danger Of serious damage either to the
patient who may be undergoing an opera
ton or the operator. The tube is made
of a heavy lead glass, so that no rays are
emitted except through flint glass win
dow, which corresponds in size to the
lesion to be treated. The connecting
wires are incased in glass insulators to
prevent sparkling on any part OF the
patient while under treatment. The mint
glass window is situated at the end OF
a projection, and must be in direct con-
tact with the lesion, thus furnishing a
ground and doing away with the Air
space. which, it Is stated. "would other:
wise be a dielectric between the tube and
the patient. When a tube is brought
into direct contact with the patient only
the ionizing effect Of the X ray is eX-
erted on the tissues. and this effect is
all that is needed to furnish the most
brilliant therapeutic results"
