CRUSADE ON NOISE

Through the association in New

regulated in hospital zones, and night,

longer a menace to the patient. School
zones, too, though they do not rejoice
In primeval- quiet, are no longer beset
by the noisy pests which once destroy

real work for the children difficult.
Mrs. Rice feels, however, that the
greatest work of the association has
been done in promoting and populariz-
ing the sane Fourth throughout the
country. There is still great chance
to extend this branch Of the work,
and an effort is being made to con-

the danger Of the f1recracker. but Of
the pleasures to be derived from the
new method Of celebrating.

Cairo. Egypt.-No explanation OF

without the presentation Of the name

unique and dynamic force behind all

protector OF imperial English interests
and the humanitarian regenerator Of
the land he loves. writes Clayton Sedg-
wick Cooper in a letter from Cairo to
the Christian Science Monitor.
He came to Egypt to assist in the
completion Of the splendid work OF re-
generation commenced by Lord Gro
mer. He himself had before contrib
uted to the problem as the soldier
leader In Khartum. the conqueror Of
the Khalifa, sweeping out of the Su-
dan the fanatical dervishes, nor did he
arrive one moment too soon to arrest
the tide that was surely carrying
Egypt backward from the high and
superb craftsmanship OF Lord Gro.
mer's regime.
The presence OF an iron hand was
needed and not few Of Egypt's lead
ers were unconsciously turning in
thehr minds toward Kitchener. AS
the conversation Of certain Egyptian
officer who commanded brigade at
Omdurman infers: Lord Kitchener is

made clean sweep OF the Sudan. He
Is just. but he is not to be triHed with.
