VICTORY FOR WORLD PEACE

A victory for world peace has been achieved by the unreserved French agreement to the protocol calling for early evacuation of the Ruhr. This measure, while evidently the sole lever age by means of which France was able to compel definite and satisfactory for maj settlement of the wearisome repara- 'tions controversy, is now only source of continued irritation to the Germans and no longer regarded as essential to protecting the allied interests. The French were 10th to abandon the policy, for they felt it to be a safeguard not only of the financial claims, but also of French security against German attack. With the new attitude of the German government, and the evident perception that the only way out for Germany is the honorable way out through liquida- tion of the reparations, the occupation of the Ruhr became an academic question. France is congratulated on having had the vision to perceive the transforma- ton in the situation. The Germans have shown readiness to join in agreements that was lacking from all their previous covenants. Admission of the Germans to the London discussions was also a wise tactical maneuver. On the face of the news from London, the realization of the worlds hopes appears very near.

Noise And NerUes
By U. ADDINGToN pRucE

From an editorial in the New York Med ical Journal, and for the benefit of all whom it may concern, I make this quotation Tt is well worth the effort of those who admin ister offices to hand out the Silence sign, and to undertake careful studies with the view of reducing the tumult in which many people are obliged to work. Tt is surprising how many sounds may be gotten rid of by proper office discipline how easily quiet telephone voice, far more effective than trumpet-tongued bellowings, may be cultivated; how much peace may be engendered by rubber castors, quiet type. writers and padded adding machines.
 Every sound eliminated increases the gen. eral efficiency of the office force, and best of all, there will be a coordinate improve ment in it's mental health"
 The human nervous system, it cannot be too emphatically stated, was not by nature organized to endure well medley of noise. For that matter, 1t is only within quite recent times that such an endurance-demand was made on it.
 Until the coming of the steam engine ush. cred in the era of machinery, the world was essentially a quiet place for all it's people. Since then, the progress of invention and the drift to the cities have steadily reduced the proportion of those who find the world really quiet.
 Nay, it may truly be said that today the most isolated rural settlement is not immune against an invasion of excessive noise.
 Even as I write these lines, in a New Hampshire farmhouse, there comes the dis traction of a horrid and increasing noise. It is an airplane hurtling through space, on it's daily mission of carrying New York news papers to a. mountain resort.
 Happily its noise dies away in a few minutes, and the quiet of the countryside is restored. Never, though, in our large cities, with their grinding car-wheels, their armies of motors, their whistlings and their shriek- ings, is there surcease from noise.
 It is small wonder that, with their ever increasing noisiness and their ever growing populations subject Co that noisiness, the cities have continually become more noto- rious as hot-beds of nervous maladies What ever will abate the noise nuisance in them will be directly -contributory to an abating of nervousness.
 And, as pointed out in the New York Med ical Journal editorial, much may be done by office managers in the way of being rid of unnecessary noises.
 Not a few managers already appreciate this, and have introduced noise-deadening ap- pliances, quietude-promoting office arrange ments, etc., to the financial gain of their firms as well as to the benefit of the firms employees, But too many still seem to think that noise has no bearing on either efficiency or health.
 Which is far, very far, from being the case.

MORE EVIDENCE OF GROWTH

While Birmingham is in the midst of an unprecedented tendency towards home-building, it is interested to note that there has been at the same time an equally unprecedented building of apart ment houses. This is as symptomatic of community growth as the building of private homes. There is always given percentage of the people of any metrop- oils who prefer apartments or flats to separate domiciles. As the metropolis grows older the percentage of apartment dwellers grows larger. Even should there at first be delay in renting all the new accommodations in the apartment houses just completed, it is a certainty that ultimately not only will the present capacity be taken up, but there will be demand for still further construction of the same sort.
 And yet there can scarcely be said to exist any competition between those agencies that promote the building of separate homes, and those that under take the construction of apartments. This field is so wide and so rapidly grow ing that one activity is scarcely con- scious that the other is operative. It might be said that those who provide the opportunities for the purchase of lots and the building of houses are behind in their work. There are many yet to be served who have not even been ap- preached. And the margin of unfulfilled hopes and desires on the part of would be home-owners never grows narrower, for the tide of newcomers more than re- places those who settle in their own dwellings. To judge from the present industrial and business outlook, this sit uation will continue and even intensity for some time to come.
 In this connection it is reassuring to note that for July, Birmingham led all the Southern cities in building permits, exceeding Memphis, the nearest compet- itor, by some seventy thousand dollars. The total value of building permits for Birmingham for July was $1 1,851,770; for Memphis, $1,7s0,000; for Atlanta, $1,712, 1858; for Miami, $1,632, ,290, and for New Orleans, $1,310,775. The oth- CTS were for a total of less than eight hundred thousand dollars. Most of the cities of the South show falling-off for July of 1924, as compared with July, 1928, Memphis, Miami, Tampa, St. Pe- tersburg, Vicksburg and Birmingham be- ing notable exceptions. Birmingham's percentage of gain was greatly in excess of that of any other of the cities men, tioned, being almost two hundred per cent. This is confirmation of the con- tinued predictions of acceleratiOn in this city's rate of expansion.

What Passes
By DR. FRANK CRANE

What is it that passes over you when you hear an excellent orchestra play a moving number such as the march from ''Tann- hauser" or the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana," or any of the familiar thrillers? Some spiritual intoxicant enters into you and you feel its heady fumes throughout your soul. What is it?
 What is it that passes over to you when you see landscape that exalts you, such as a view of the sweet English valley seen from the high road from. London to Maidstone, or the glorious panorama you get from the car platform going from Martigny to Chamonix?
 And do you remember the first time you read "The Count of Monte Cristo" and tLes Miserables' and "Dombey and Son?" What was that thing that passed from these books into your life? Do not say it was nothing, or just sensation, thinner than air, fugacious as mood for, whatever it was, it has stayed with you, and in your spirit life is a perma nent and unmovable as a huge boulder in a Colorado field.
 What is that something that rayed out from the Mona Lisa picture in the Louvre and touched the soul of Walter Pater as a harper sweeps his harp?
 You can analyze the sea, doubtless, oh learned and expert physicians weigh it's salt and gauge it's iodine, but tell us what is that most important product of the ocean, the sense of majesty, power and infinitude that comes from it and grips the soul of man?
 Neither is it in botany to say what, mes sage the "wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow CTS" send to ploughboy Burns and he in turn sings to all the world nor is it in geology to explain how the sombre giant Matterhorn pierces the mind; nor in chemistry to make clear what is that soft, sleepy, loving spirit hand laid upon the listeners heart who hears the soft autumn rain come whispering md tiptoeing over the dead leaves.
 What is that psychic something that passes to you from one friend entirely different from that which you get from another? What is that communicable flavor of personality?
 Define for us, chemically, oh skillful test tubist, the material composition of patriot ism, religion, aversion, ambition, vanity and loyal love
 You cannot. Project your inquiries a mil lion years in the direction they now take and you will come no nearer
 You do not satisfy us. when you say that nothing "passes" in all the above instances, and that they are but "cerebrations," move ments of brain matter. The. fact remains that these movements are those of most vital im- port to the thinking world Did 1t ever occur to you that science is not necessarily chained to matter, and that there are psychic data, spiritual phenomena, wholly non-material facts, waiting to be weighed, noted and set in order?
 Says Richard Jeffries; 'Research proceeds upon the same old lines and runs in the an- Ieient grooves. Further, it is restricted by the ultra-p practical views which are alone deemed reasonable. But there should be no limit placed on the mind. The purely ideal is aS worthy of pursuit as the practical, aHd te- mind is not to be pinned to dogmas as ence any, more than to dogmas of spperstit. ltion.''

THE MInnLE.WEST ATTITUDE

Mir. Raymond Clapper, whose able dis cussions of the national political situa- ton appear daily in The Age-Herald, has for some time remained of the opinion that present predictions regarding the outcome of the elections are worthless, for he believes that the people them selves have not yet made up their minds.
 Writing at Kansas City, as a metropolis located at the very pulse of the Middle West, Mir. Clapper says: "One fact that impresses itself strongly after several weeks of first-hand study out here is that this section, representing the core of the Middle West, does not yet know how It will vote, It is waiting to see what the various candidates have to offer. 1t has watched Coolidge in action for year and rather likes him. It knows almost nothing about John w. Davis and is sus- pending judgment regarding him. LaFol- lette is well known, but here again there is disposition to suspend Judgment until the issues of the campaign are more clearly unfolded. In fact, there is a gen. eral hesitancy regarding the presidential contest, which, on the surface at least, looks suspiciously like apathy. The sem sational rise in wheat and corn prices, which has brought unexpected hope to the debt-ridden farmers out here, is re- sponsible, in some part, for the neglect of politics"
 Thus there are two men whom the people out West know, namely, Coolidge and LaFollette. Yet they have appar- ently inclined to neither of these men. They are waiting to hear what MT. Davis has to say. The Democrats can ask nothing better than a hearing, particu- Iarly when neither of the other candi- dates, although known to the voters, is

National Defense Day

|
 National Defense Day will be held Sep tember F. It will be observed in all states except those believing that whefi a war breaks out suddenly it can be attended to over the telephone. l Governor Bryan believes in springins army rather than standing army. The ex- pertinent was tested in the last war. 4 mil lion men sprang to arms, but in the darkness grabbed umbrellas, malacca canes, kniblicks and tennis racquets by mistake.
 And another million sprang to the nearest doctor for certificates of near:sightedness, deafness general disability and other alibis. The pacifist view is that when a War breaks out it is perfectly excusable for a citizen to report for service in his white fan nel trousers, straw hat and ukelele, and be sent back for the night clothes by the com manding officer. The Pershing attitude is that every man should know what to wear in the first place.
 National Defense days get citizen so he will know when called out of bed Iii tho mida dle of the night by war, where his army shoes are and how to put on q pair of spiral leggings without sending to; the factory for directions. fs.s,g
 Preparedness Days rehearse him to; point where he will know in any emergency where to reach for his can of corned beet without looking all over the house, and where to find his dice at moments notice.
 The importance of dice as 6 part of q soldiers equipment was established in the World War. They are extremely essential. Thousands of men rushed into the last con flict without any dice. This ruined their morale and killed their interest in the war almost at once.
 Experts are satisfied that it was America s contribution of dice, almost as much as her contribution of men, that won the World War. Up to the time of America's entry the Allies and the German armies were about equal in dice-power. When the United States joined the fray, the greatest dice-producing nation in the world threw" her resources into the fray. And she threw natural" tY9 ],
 From that time on there was nothing to it. Lafayette, we are here!' is the opening war remark for which Pershing is famous. It is not generally known that he followed this up by turning the other way and remarkng "Ludendorff, shoot the dollar!'
 However, National Defense Day will be held, regardless of the "nay' votes. More lfresh-roasted peanuts, buttered popcorn, pink lemonade and toy balloons will be consumed on the sidelines than at any time since the circus came to town, and there will be big revival of business at all the army surplus sales stores. =

The Right Word
By CURTIs NICHOLSON
THE REGENT TEST (Find the Error in This ArticIe) The Fourth Sentence

The Fourth Sentence It reads as follows: ''The tree has lain across the road for three days" Here is very simple rule by which to re- member when to use lain. If the idea is re- cline, lain should always be used with has, have and had; as, He had lain down before you arrived; The rake has lain on the lawn all of the morning; The marbles have lain on the walk for an hours
 Tho Fourth Sentence "I should like to help you" was the fifth sentence.
 If readers of "The Right word' will re- member that "I," "would,' and Hike" should never be combined, this locution would no longer be troublesome.
 Would" when used with q" means de- termination. But the fundamental meaning of like is desire, in nature somewhat like de- terfnination. So one is repeating oneself when using 'I would" and 'like" together.
 The Sixth Sentence The sixth sentence "ShaIl I see you home this afternoonY
 What reply do you expect? Certainly not. T will see you home this afternoon,S reply ing to yourself. You are really asking per tive, It is usually customary to use shall in the first person when asking question.
 The Seventh Sentence May I have One?" is correct. Always use may when asking for permis- sion. When granting permission also use may.
