boy and the terror of the ner-
vous.
Deafness can be obtained
through irritated mucuous mem
branes in the throat and nose as
well as from sound, but noise is
one of the most common causes
for deafness. It is unconscious
in it's approach, but the afflicted
sooner or later begins to find
that he is growing hard of hear
ing, and noise too frequently is
the accountable cause for this.
Each day people on the street
can be seen to jump nervously to
one side when q speeding auto
mobile passes with it's scerech-
ing horn. If the city cannot sup
press every noise, it can at least
restrict the unnecessary noises
and this will be easily done for
the general public good.-Com-

A NOiseleSS World.

DR.. Clarence J. Blake, profess
sor Of ethnology at the Harvard
Medical School, forecasts COM
paratively noiseless world. 1t is
sincerely hoped that he is right
in his prediction. There are use
less noises which are running the
hearing and the nervous system
of hundreds of people.
Let 40 automobiles, with loud
mouthed chauffeurs, congregate
below your window, and try to
work. You will then appreciate
how and why unnecessary noise
should be abolished. Noise is
looked for and expected in the
city, but the unnecessary noise
is a curse to any community.
The bedlam of factory whistles
in the morning, the confusion of
horns on automobiles and bicy-
cles and the fiendish explosions
Of the motorcycle persuade one
to believe that Milton must have
had such scenes and sounds in
view when he wrote the "Pande-
monium."
''In time," declares DR.. Blake,
1--WE shall have, while not a
soundless world, world that
will be practically noiseless. I'm
necessary noise-in the factory,
the mill, the mines and in the
outdoor worlds daily claiming
it's toll from the masses by caus-
ing a diminution in the hearing
power. Welfare committees are
working industriously to abolish
these injurious conditions, and
these associations will be the
greatest factors in bringing
about a noiseless world"
The laws against unnecessary
noise in Memphis are exceeding
ly lax. Every now and then
some city official becomes annoy
ed at some nuisance and pro-
ceeds to declare against it, but in
a few weeks time the heat of
anger passes, the evil is forgot
ton and remains to give daily
annoyance to others. Muff1ers
on automobile horns have been
demanded. They should also be
placed on the horns of other We
hicles. Some of these instru-
ments of torture are of the most
discordant and hair-raising type.

TO COMPLETE
STATE CAPITOL
Com mission to Meet May Z TO
Consider Plans For Fin
ishing Building.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.-lhe
State Capitol Commission Will
meet in Little Rock, May I to
take up the plans for the COM
pletion of the building. The
meeting was originally set for
May 6, but Cass Gilbert, the ar
chitect, was unable to reach the
city by that time, on account Oh
important business OBTAINING
him in New York. At this meet
ing the architect will be asked
to suggest plans for the compile
ton. and of the first work that
should be done.
All offices now on the second
floor of the building are to be
located in the basement, or
what should be termed the
ground floor, as it is level with
the grounds of the Capitol. The
floor will have to be rearranged
for the various departments,
and as the second floor jewellers
are anxious to get in their per-
manent locations, it is highly
probable the work will be start
ed on this floor.
The ground floor is to be paw
ed with marble, and will be more
convenient than the present To-
cation of the Departments of
Agriculture, Education and La
Dor, on account Of the amount
of climbing which has to be done
to reach them. The lower floor
is now used for storage pur-
poses, which makes it all the
more inconvenient. Under the
new arrangements the depart
ments will be near their store
rooms, for the stores will be
transferred to large rooms
which will be provided by a con-
crete walk which is to cover the
present open recesses about the
building. This will interest the
officials of the Arkansas Nation
al Guard more than any other,
for the Headquarters are now on
the third floor, and storerooms,
where much of the work is done,
in the basement, and there are
no elevators.

Consolidation of Rural Schools.

Consolidation of Rural Schools.
Consolidation of schools in ru-
raj districts is simply a plan
whereby two or more small or
weak and inefficient schools are
united into larger ones centrally
located and equipped for the
best possible work.
There are today many agen-
cies at work seeking to improve
the social and educational con-
ditions of the people in the rural
communities.
The basis of all reform of the
rural school is the problem of
consolidating small schools into
larger ones more centrally To-
Gated.
Consolidation does not mean
the abandonment of schools in
the country and the transporta-
ton of pupils to the town
schools, as some have thought,
but on the other hand it is the
plan of maintaining one central
school, which maybe in the coun-
try, with it's area of patronage
conforming to the natural boun-
Diary lines of streams and noun
tains.
Consolidation is safe, sane,
practical working plan that has
made the rural schools in many
communities of other states
equal to those in the towns and
villages or more favored locali-
ties.
In those states where the plan
of consolidation of schools has
been carefully worked out with
transportation of children to and
from school at public expense
where conditions and distances
demanded, it has proved emf
nently successful.
REASONS FOR CONSOLE
DATIONS.
l. 1t increases the percentage
of enrolment.
2. Pupils are better classified
and better graded.
3. Pupils are taught in bet
ter school houses, where modern
methods of heating, lighting and
ventilation conserve health.

Day of SkyscraperS.

Last week, from his executive
office in Washington, President
Wilson touched a button which
flooded the great Woolworth
Building in New York City with
light.
Today New York points with
pride to this mighty structure
which overtops other skyscrap-
ers, as the Titanic overtopped
other greyhounds of the ocean.
The Woolworth Building is
the tallest in the world today. 1t
surpasses any past attempt at
office building.
If this height has been reach
ed what may we next antlcl-
pate? Has not the crisis in high
building been reached?
At a recent banquet given by
the contractors and builders of
New York this subject was the
text of the evening speech, and
the commissioner of New York
building, in a positive and en-
phatic, way, predicted that the
day was near at hand when laws
would be enacted regulating the
height of any building. Chicago
has already kaken the initiative
and has Placed a legal limit on
the heiadt of all buildings used
for COZ 6mercial purposes. This
law Us been three years stand
inQl and has met with much
<9faVor.
It will be remembered back,
near the dawn of creation, that
certain intrepid individuals with
ambition said go to, let us
build us city and a tower
whose top may reach into the
heavens"
And they built the city and
tower of Babel. But it will, also
be remembered that ''the Lord
came down to see the city and
the tower which the children OF
men had builded."
The result is known to all, for
prior to that time all men were
of one race and one language
and now the sons of man are
scattered over the surface Of the
earth and speak many and va
rious languages.
Our builders of today may not
be seeking to build into heaven
but they are certainly reaching
dangerous elevations. There is
yet a stronger reason why such
towering structures should be
limited. Public health must be
considered. The building OF
