OPPOSE LUNCH HOUR FUNERAL
Paris Undertakes Have Grievance

Syndicate's Employees Petition for

Paris, July s.-Burials in Paris are not
so expensive that many people are Of
the opinion that they cannot afford to
die; but they happen to be managed by
company holding a monopoly whose
servants are in a constant state of dis
satisfaction. Undertakes strikes, though
often threatened, never, of course, really

Funerals. especially fashionable fun

Now, IL the hour is noon. when on earth

what they ask. At II a. m. they have
no appetite-besides. even If they had. it

On the other hand, funerals begun at
noon are never over until 2 at the ear

NOISEPROOF ROOM

Utrecht. July s-Utrecht IS quiet
enough country town. where the plant
% the antinolse leagues is never heard.
This situation. curiously enough, does
not prevent Utrecht from possessing the
only absolutely noiseproof room in the
world
Heretofore il was Prof. Wilhelm
Wundt. Of the Physiological Laboratory
OF Leipzig, who had come nearest 10 the
scientific elimination OF all sound from
an inelosed space. but Prof Zwaarde-
maker. Of Utrecht University, has gone
one step further. and he has commun-
ieated details OF his achievement 10 the
Amsterdam Royal Academy Of Science.
For an absolutely noiseproof room It
is essential not only that no sound shall
peRetrate it from without. but also that
1t shall resist sound propagation, refee-
ton and refraction within The first
problem is comparatively easy TO solve.
Character of the Walls.
The walls Of Prof. Zwaardemaler's
room consist of six layers. alternately

WILL TEST ENGLISH FLEET
New Admiralty Head Proposes War
Endurance.
Battle ships TO BE Kept nt Sea for
Four Weeks During FOrthcOm-
ing Naval ManeuVers.

London July s.-The war endurance of
test during the forthcoming naval ma
neuvers.
Efforts are to be made to keep all the
ships engaged with the exception Of the
torpedo craft and submarines continuous
~ at sea during the four weeks the ma
neuvers last. No ship is to enter port
save under very exceptional circum-
stances.
Communication with the shore viii only
be made by wireless telegraphy and BY
regular service Of scouts and dispatch
vessels
The problem will not perhaps be as
great as appears at first sight. Every
ship of any size in the navy is supposed
always TO carry food and general stores
enough to last six weeks. It was known.
too that when Sir Arthur Wilson went
10 the admiralty there would be less con-
sideration than ever given TO the Iuxuries
OF life and more than ever before 10 stern
and Spartan preparation for war
The cOaling difficulty will not be seri-
Gus. Every armored ship can carry
from 1000 to 300 tons of coal. and, at
an ordinary cruising speed of ten knots,
this is sufficient to carry them from 1900
10 5000 miles. For the shorter radius"
this allows for 700 hours steaming, and
If the ship is under way for, say. six
teen hours a day on an average, the full
supply Of coal would last more than forty
days.
Smaller craft such as destroyers will
need TO have their bunkers replenished If
they are 20 remain at sea for anything
like four weeks. and they carry only
from GO 10 $50 tons of fuel
The admiralty, no doubt, will charter
eolliers for this purpose, but the navy
has its own vessels for conveying oil
fuel.

AUSTRIAN WOMEN REJOICE.
Recent Cabinet Decree Opens State

Vienna, July 9-The women Of Austria,
who have hitherto been barred from the
State commercial and technical schools,
now rejoice over a decree Of the minister
of public works. which throws these in
situations open 10 them.
Women who desired to train themselves
for commercial or technical career
were previously compelled either 10 go
abroad or TO take their course az expen-

these new opportunities for women they
fear the men will be put in the minority.

Gust OF NEWS A COMPLAINT.
CabIegrams from London to Aus
traIia ExOrbitant.


Sydney. Australia. July 9.-Australian
newspapers complain frequently that be-
cause Of the high cost Of cablegrams they
are unable to get adequate news stories
form London. The cable rate on news
paper dispatches from London to Aus
tralia is a shilling, or "a cents a word.
The Australian news papers don't care TO
pay so much for special kilograms. and
chiefly depend upon news agencies for
their supply from the mother country.
Prime Minister Fisher, realizing the
paueity Of news and approaching its cost.
offers subsidy of $4,000 a year for three
years to any existing news agency that
will undertake to cable / 600 words a dav
from London. The only condition is that
the service shall be nonpartisan and that
the dispatches must be sent by the .'all
red route. that is by an English cable to
Canada, over Canadian telegraph wires
to the Pacific coast, and thence by the
Pacific cable. This route will insure that
the subsidized service would pass over
British owned wires and cables only.

IN al Europe II is a dismal. smoke
begrimed building, and the front it pre-

Declares Palace Unfit.
Eighty-two years ago the Duke of
Wellington, and he wasn't a Judge of
architecture. declared that Buckingham
Palace wasn't fit TO lodge the sovereign
of England. The dukes criticism still
holds good.
There is some newspaper talk that
the beginning OF a new reign ought 10
see the beginning OF new palace, but
1t Is highly improbable that the govern
ment, especially a Liberal Radical gov
eminent such as is now in power. win
see its way to make an appropriation
for a new palace. If the government
won't appropriate money to build new
palace it may be depended upon that
King George and his frugal consort
won't provide the money from their pri-
vate purse
Front Il Really the Rear.
The front of the palace which the
American visitors see is not really the
front, but the rear The true facade Of
the palace is not visible to the public It
