Railway Noise Nuisance.

Railway Age Gazette: Slamming of
vestibule trap-dOors and loud talking
by trainmen-especia loud talking
on platforms around sleeping cars at
night-are among the items to be at
tended to by the Southern railway in
its renewed noise-suppressing cam
paign, just announced. 1t is crafty
ing to see that the Southern's noise
committee is graphing with new as
well as old nuisances. We could name
roads where the slamming of the
trap-doors on cars has been nuis-
ance to passengers for many months,
but where no inspector seems to have
noticed it. And this nuisance is worse
on coaches than on any sleeping car.
for in day cars passengers sit quite
near to the doors. In the Southern's
announcement, the words Keep
Quiet appear in capital letters. 1t is
to be hoped that the company's in,
spectors are imbued with the same
purpose as that manifested by the
printer of this circular-the purpose
to emphasize this one simple idea.
Signals to ,enginemen by word of
mouth, and allowing steam to escape
near sleeping cars, are among the
other Objectionable practices, specified
in the circular; but these and all
other annoyances are reduced when
that one Slogan is reiterated with
sufficient frequency and vigor. Simple
regulations for the conduct Of sane
railroading ought not to need reiterat-
ing, except to new men; but, taking
things as we find them, 1T seems
proper to suggest that this branch of
spring housekeeping" calls for at
tention north, east and west, as well
as south. Not the least significant
clause of the Southern's circular is
the last one; "the superintendent

are giving personal attention to this
problem"
Mother Love.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: The SEN
timent of the race clings to and
twines itself around mother. Nobody
has ever thought of writing about
mother such song as Everybody
Works But Father The one thing
in life so sacred that nobody ever has
or ever will laugh at it is mothers
love for her children. The world may
laugh at woman's love for man,
and it has grown into an adage that
such a love is often unaccountable, by
any rule of reason But that touch
of nature which makes us all kin has
placed mother love on a pedestal and
made us all bow down before 1t. 1t
is the one thing consecrate. In times
such as these, when mother hearts
are being torn with grief at the loss
of sons butchered to make madm en- 8
holidays, when Rachel mourns and
cannot be comforted because her chill
dren are not, motherhood's appeal
should be stronger than ever, even in
lands Of peace. Motherhood is worthy
Of special veneration now that it is
sacrificing more than ever before in
history.

Your profession is one that is ap-
preciated in this country. 1t may
seem at times that the physician and
the surgeon get all the glory and the
fame. lust as they get most OF the
cold cash. But dare hazard guess
that the average patient has quite as
warm and kindly feeling for the
faithful nurse as for the greatest
doctor who ever felt his pulse. The
doctor comes and goes in a snort
time. The patient is generally the
one person at an operation, or IN
some dangerous fever, who don
know what's going on, and mas very

and cool nerve of the operator, or Ihe
