Investigations just made by physi-
sicians prove that there is an appre-
ciable harm from noise, and serious
harm, too. II is no doubt true that
a normal nervous system can appar-
emily adjust itself to all sorts of ad-
verse circumstances. We couldn't ex-
ist otherwise. Nevertheless, the in
imical agents make an impress, and,
like water dropping on a stone. can
overcome resistance In time. These
investigators have found many abb
normal nervous conditions in those
who have long been immersed in loud
noises utterly unaware that any harm
was being done.

FINAL SELECTION
OF PRESIDENT

Washington, Feb. 12.-Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey and Thomas
Marshall OF Indiana we're actually de-
clared elected President and Vice
President of the United States today,
with the official count of the votes of
the electoral college by the two houses
of Congress. The law requires that
from each State two copies of the Off
cial electoral vote shall be sent to
Washington, one by mail and one by
messenger. Two States, Washington
and Utah, sent women electors this
year. The ballots are canvassed Off
cially in the hall of the House Of
Representatives.
The sealed envelopes from the vari-
GUS States have not been opened, but
there is practically no possibility of
the result being found in any respect
different from that already unofficially
nounced-Wilson 435, Roosevelt SO,
and Taft s. Even a technical error in
the returns would hardly invalidate a
States vote Four years ago some
Western State recorded its vote for
James S. Sherman as II he came from
that State instead of from New York.
But on motion of Senator Joseph w.
Bailey of Texas the error was dis
regarded and the vote counted.
