RUBBER PAVEMENTS
WILL DEADEN SOUND
Area About Cenotaph, in White
hall Street, London, to Furnish
Contrast With Other Streets.

BY Cable to The Star.
LONDON, August 1S.-The rumble
of traffic up and down Whitehall
street soon will be stilled due to the
passing of the cenotaph which stands
in the center of the roadway opposite
Downing street, and the zone of peace
will furnish strange contrast with
the noise nearby in the Westminster
area surrounding the war memorial in
the heart of the British capital.
The surface of the Whitehall road
way adjacent to the cenotaph is now
being relaid with rubber blocks over
Il superficial area Of 1900 square yards
in order to deaden the sound of pass
ing traffic. The cost of the resurfac-
ing, so far as the blocks themselves
are concerned, which will be $4,000,
is being borne by the company spe-
cializing in this form Of paving.
Each block of rubber weighs nearly
five pounds and measures eight by four
by three inches. A small area Of all
rubber blocks has already been laid
eXperimentally in two other places in
London and the reports as to their ef-
fectiveness are most encouraging.
The rubber block area about the
cenotaph is expected to last half a.
century despite the enormous volume
of heavy traffic constantly using the
Whitehall roadway.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, August 1S

Lucey Manufacturing Company OF
New York, which was thrown into
the hands of receivers in a New
York city court, and of the Lucey
Manufacturing Company of Tennes-
see, which went into the hands Of
receivers two weeks ago, tonight is
sued a statement in which he said
that the statement given out in New
York Friday by G. Y. Miller, one of
the receivers. was contrary to the
facts.
Miller is credited with saying that
the receivership for the New York
firm was precipitated by the failure
that plans for reorganization OF the
New York firm We're well under way
when the local creditors of the Chat
tanooga Company filed a petition for
n receiver.
Capt. Lucey stated that the re-
ceivership for the New York company
was the result Of an agreement and
compromise and was entered into
when all efforts at 4 refinancing of
the company bad failed. He also said
pany's receivership having precipi-
tated the receivership for the New
York company the latters fail
ure to meet its obligations TO the
Tennessee company was the only
cause for the petition for a receiver
ship in the Chattanooga courts.
The Tennessee company, according
to Capt. Lucey. would easily have
weathered the storm If the New York
concern had been able to meet it's OBJ
legations for orders filled. The actual
cause of the New York company's dis

Senator Glass is insisting that the
animals are sound, that they have
been tested and that he is entitled to
a clean bill of health for the cows,

asked If he had indicated to Mr.. Ben

Ford said:
II do not remember Of saying any

Continuing. Mr.. Ford asked the

that he looked ten years younger"
