seventh annual meeting last evening in

the human system was the subject of half
a dozen addresses by we'll known men and
women.
1T is readily possible" said Or. Abra-
ham jacob, ito exclude all outside noises
from schoolrooms by using double doors
and double windows. and keeping them
shut. That would do away with the
noises and also with a great many of the
children. The crying need Of the ase is
a system of ventilation that will let In

Others who spoke were DR.. S. Josephine
Baker, director of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene; Alderman John A. Bolles and
Thomas W. Churchill, president Of the

Mrs. Rice's anti-noise society points out
as some of it's accomplishments the safe

Albany, April 1.-The sullivan investi-
eating committee. which resumed its
hearings this afternoon, intends to carry
on an inquiry which will result in crimi-
nal prosecution land also to enable the
state to recover large sums OF money al
ready stolen or lost" The chairman, Mr.
Sullivan, said the committee had received
large amount OF information from per-
sons mot detectives or paid investiga-
tors" which. he believed. would bring
about startling disclosures.
The chairman said that while the COM
mittee had no money for its expenses. be-
caust Of the failure OF the Senate to pass
the Assembly bill making the necessary
appropriation. it intended TO conduct an
unsparing investigation, without fear,
favor or hope of reward. The necessary
money, ii is believed. will come from pri-
vate sources if IT is not appropriated at
the extra session of the Legislature.
John y. Carlisle, State Highway Com
missioner, was the only witness examined
to-day, but G. Gordon Reel, former High
way Commissioner was present, and will
probably be called tomorrow morning.

that 1t would be impracticable to have all

To do so, he explained, would necesstate
cutting the improved road mileage of the

Mr. Carlisle was questioned by John

break the news to his wife, who has
been a bedridden invalid for fourteen
years. He did so as easily as he could,
but she collapsed, and he fears she will

She learned that the dentist had an in

in the scores OF other arts that an all
