Chalk Strata Carries Sound.

The Hon. Maud Ritchie. n resident of
southwestern London. writes that when
lying with her head on the ground on
top of Biackdown hill. Sussex, she
could hear the guns distinctly, while
the moment she stood up she could not
Eear them at all.
$. r. James. senior chaplain of the
forces at Chatham, writes: "Undoubt-
edly the chalk strata carry the sounds
of the heavy gunfire from Flanders to
England. Here where we are quarter
ed on chalk at certain points the gun
fire is always audible. These spots are
just below the highest point Twenty
yards away you can hear nothing. The
direction OF the wind has no effect on
the sounds"
One of my friends at Gotham. on the
other side OF the Midway river. tells
me that he dug a hole in the ground
until he reached the chalk. There the
sound was extraordinarily loud, where
as. on the surface of the ground it was
inaudible- These reports are stimulat-

retail dealers are the thorn in the

OhciaIs admitted today that they
cannot control the retailer in food
commodities They declare that as
result OF this merchants are
charging prices which are excessive
and there is no way TO prevent
them
Several plans are in the minds OF
the food administration To ch~k the
profteering retailer. The most
feasible plan at the present time is
pitiless publicity. Beginning on
Nov. L. when the majority OF food
commodities go under license, the
food administration will begin TO
publish daily the costs OF foods.

iministration experts that small re-
tailers are justified in charging
