Noise OF battle has always been con

sary and undesirable. The efficiency
of a gunpowder weapon is measured
by its killing capacity. The more
noise 1t makes the fewer 1t kills. The
booming battery is like the rattle.

strikes silently claims the most vic
Tins. The Maxim silencer Is intended
to make guns less noisy and more
useful In their specific field of activ-
ity. The quite noiseless gun would
be more desirable than the wholly
smokeless powder from the stand
point Of the warrior. Now comes the
complaint that the military aeroplane
is deprived Of much of its usefulness
because OF the tremendous noise OF
Its whirring propellers. At night, when
the flyers dart about above the dark
ened camps, their presence Is adver-
tised to the ear. In daylight they have

drum times of peace? The business
Of war is to destroy life. and noise Is
a handicap. The business OF peace Is
to prolong life, and to make life hap
py, and noise Is a still greater handi-
cap. Cities are becoming saner. They
are. by ordinance, putting the muffler
on some kinds of utterly senseless
clamor. But there remain many caco-
phonies that might easily be elimi-
mated. Anti-noise societies should find
cheer and comfort In the fact that
