What Noise Does.
Mrs. Oakley quoted from the Phila
delphia Medical Journal. which summeC
Up the reasons for the war on unneces
sary noises as follows:
They increase the sick rate by muir
dering sleep.
They increase the death rate by
destroying the vital and imperative
powers OF the sick.
They brutaliZe and dull the nervous
system of those who have to with
stand their pathologic influence.
They serve to make the sensitive
and cultured separate themselves in
their search for quiet from the
masses, thus serving to Intensity
the license OF the noise makers by
lessening the checks upon their
crimes
Plea For Night Workers.
Mrs oakley also made a plea for the
growing number of workers who must
sleep by day. These, especially. she
said, are harassed by unnecessary
noise. She continued:
Shall the street cleaners, teleg-
raphers. night watchmen. railway
employees. toilers in iron and steel.
printers. reDorters. editors. doctors.
nurses-shall all this great and
growing army of toilers that work
through the night for the public
comfort and convenience be allowed
to take their needful sleep during
the day. or shall their rest be
broken and their lives shortened by
the utterly useless noises made by
bells and whistles. shouting ven
doris. and blatant street pianos? No
one would be permitted to fash
light In the eyes of these weary
sleepers. Yet the assault upon
their auditory nerves goes madly on.

Noise Policeman Is
Sought by Woman
Needless Din Responsible for
Many Ills in Cities-Ear Only
Sense Not Protected, Says
Mrs. Oakley.

The ear is the only Sensory organ
of the human body which the Ian
now affords no protection.
Offensive odorS are forbidden BY
Ian, articles which the public
handles must be clean, disgusting
and indecent biHbodrdS are pro-
hibhed, polluted food is confs-
Gated.
But the ear is the "heIpleSS PIC
tim of every asSdulting sound"
This is the argument Advanced
by Mrs. Imogen B. Oakley, of the
Civic Club of Philadelphia, for her
crusade against unnecessary noises.
In this interview she describes the
progress made in pariouS American
cities in the dnti-noise Increment,
and she especially commendS the
example of Baltimore, which has
the first and only known 'noiSe
policeman"
By J. R. HILDEBRAND.
The yellow peril is not half so i'm
minent as the yelling peril in most
American cities.
Blackmailing is frowned upon by the
law. but the organ grinder goes merrily
on, paid. nine times out of ten. not to
play, but to shut UP and go away
Philadelphia is the noisiest city in the
world, bar none. st. Louis has the
medal for suppressing useless noises.
More needed than additions to vice
squads, and police women. and police
are noise policemen. Balti-
more has the first and only one in exist
ence.
These are a few epigrams and state
ments by Mrs. Imogen 2. oakley, of
a member of the Civic
Club of that city. which has under
taken to spread the gospel of protec-
lion against useless noises. Mrs. Oak
ey came to washington to present her
cause to the American Civic Associa-
lion. now meeting at the Willard.
Not Fad of Idle Rich.
First. Mrs. oakley would correct the
dea that the noise agitation proceeds
rom a group of rich. neurotic, high
strung faddists. Mrs. oakley explained:
Those who complain about noises
are not the idle rich, they are the
toiling poor. Many of them never
heard the phrase, nervous invalid,
yet they say they are slowly dying
Of noise.
When they say that noise is un- ,
dermining their health, they are in
accord with the best physicians.
Any physician will testify to the de-
structive effect OF noise on the
nerves.
Ear diseases are increasing. The
ear Is the only organ Of sense that
has no legal protection. Offensive
odors are not permitted. disgusting
sights are forbidden. offensive or /
polluted food Is confiscated, but the
ear Is left the helpless victim OF
every assaulting sound.
Persons In crowded cities, says
Prof Sedgwick, of Boston, are In
constant state of nervous fatigue /
because of noises and the fact that
many city dwellers cannot stand
the quiet of the country is the best
proof OF their pathological condi-

Philadelphia Noisest City.

Whistles. vendors. noisy street cars.
nat-wheeled cars. barking dogs, rat
Ting milk carts. untimely ringing OF
hurch bells. gongs, and hand organs
are some OF the unnecessary assailants
OF the waking consciousness and DIS
turbers of peaceful sleep in our cities,
according to Mrs. Oakley.
Far from being the somnolent, easy
going. and deadly quiet place tradition
paints it. Philadelphia. she asserts. Is
without exception the noisiest city in
the world.
st Louis has made most progress Of
American cities in protecting its resi-
dents against useless noises. There

forbidden. The ban is on crying Ven

Ban On Barking Dogs.

New York city also has a satisfactory
record of prosecutions against owners
of barking dogs. and of owners OF noisy
musical instruments. Esthetic Boston
would not suppress the picturesque or

of these instruments must be tested
yearly before board of competent
musicians. II they are out Of tune they
are refused licenses.

brilliant music rendered by his choir and
