NOISE

Chicago, always known as a noisy city, has its
pre-eminence proved. Scientific tests conducted by
acoustic engineers with the best modern instrumental
equipment show that Chicago is the noisiest city the
world. And it would be just ike Chicago to start
Dragging about that.
Chicago, however will be rendered thoughtful by
the statement of those engineers that the noise cost
ing the city than S5,000000 year-which is all
it costs London, much larger city.
Noise is inefficient, because it increases fatigue,
decreases speed and causes So Chicago which
is for efficiency above everything else, will probably
take up noiseessness in q serious way one of these
days and to become the quetest city on earth

NATIONAL SHRINE

Would Make Memorial of Wash.
 iDgton'S Quarters

Harrisburg, Pa. Feb. Il (UP)- The colonial farmhouse which serv- ed as the headquarters of General George Washington at the Battle of Brandywine would become the prop erty. of the State of Pennsylvania and a national shrine under the terms of bill now pending in the Pennsylvania legislature.
 The measure, presented by State Senator A. D. McDade, and backed by the American Legion. not only provides that the farmhouse but the entire battlefield as well, be con- verted into a state park.
 Plans are now under way for a celebration of international scope to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the battle, McDade said in present. ing his bill and urged action at once so that the field would become state property before the date of the ceremony.
 The battle of the Brandywine, said u Have DeeH lub DlOOuleSL Ol lle Revolutionary War. was fought September II, 1777. The celebration is planned by the Legion posts of Delaware. Chester and Montgomery counties-parts of the battlefield be- ing in each county.
 President Coolidge and Governor Fisher of Pennsylva ia will deliver addresses at the celebration. The governors of the original thirteen states will be in attendance, and all states which had troops in the bat tie also will be represented.
 It was from Washington's head quarters in the Ring farmhouse that the American flag was unfurled to receive it's first baptism of fire, ac- cording to historical traditions.
 The Brandywine battlefield is situ- ated only few miles from Valley Forge, another state park and na- tional shrine.

SPLIT REPORTED
 IN CANTON PARTY
Conservatives and Radicals in
 Open Disagreement

Washington, Feb. II P-Indica- tions of an impending split in the Cantonese nationalist parties, with the conservative and radical wings drawing farther and farther apart, are contained in official advices re- ceived from China both by the gov ernment in interested diplomatic circles Observers here attach great significance to thesc reports although they are not complete enough to fur nish a clear picture of the internal situation in the party.
 Tn some diplomatic circles which keep in close touch with develop ments in China the belief is ex- pressed that ultimately conservative control of the nationalist party will be established, to be followed pos sbly by an understanding between Chiang Kai-Shek. Cantonese war lord and some members of the alliance of northern Tuchuns in which Chang Tso-Lin is now the dominating fig ure.

TIMBER RESOURCES
 ARE HEAVILY HIT
Fire Has Wiped Out Much
 Lumber During Year

Washington, Feb. II (UP)-Forest fires took huge toll in the nations timber resources last year, accord ing to figures submitted to Congress by E. A. Sherman. associate forest CT of the agriculture department.
 The largest number of fires in his tory. S,263, occurred in 1926. de- stroying 257,376 board feet of tim Der. These fires covered total area of 722,OOo acres.
 While the number of fires were the largest in history. quick action by the forestry service prevented the damage from becoming as great as that of other years. In 1919 there were $500 fires, which destroyed 3.713,903. the largest destruction on record.
 'We had one of our occasional ex- treme fire seasons during the sum- mer of 1926" said Assistant For ester Roy Headley. In terms of area burned over, there have only been four worse seasons since na- tional forests were created In terms Of the cost for fire fighting, there has been only one year where it has been more expensive.
 The trouble during the past sea- son was not so much in the lum- Der of fires, because the number was slightly less than normal for recent years: but was due chiefly to the punching of lightning fires. Most of the lightning fires came from two storms, one on July and one on July 1o. So many fires started by those two storms, particularly the latter one, that the available force of guards and rangers was rot able to get around fast enough to keep them under control.
 These two storms covered prac- .'ically the whole of northern Wash 'ngton and northern Idaho and the western part of northern Montana.
 Since 1916 total of G7.S2i fires have destroyed 6.064,240. GOO board feet of timber.

Girls at both institutions started to let their hair grow, much to the dis gust of tonsorial artists in both towns
 A recent check-up on the Missouri campus revealed that 60 per cent of the girls either had long hair or were expecting to have in the near future." At Kansas the percentage is slightly larger, and opponents of heightened tresses are gaining new cohorts daily.

 Delay in pressing southward to- ward Hankow is believed to be due to unwilingness Of Chang's forces to advance with Wu's troops on their
 flank until assured that the two leaders have patched up an endur- ing peace to rem owe danger due to their former bitter rivalry that re- neatedlv delueed northern China In hloodshed.

 If complete cooperation between Chang and Wu is assumed, military experts in Washington personally familiar with Chinese conditions be- lieve Hankow and probably Wuchang across the Wanstse river could be from the Cantonese, as the northern forces are superior in mum bers, equipment and battle expert ence and has better and shorter lines of communication. They do not be- lieve. however. that the northern forces could proceed any farther southward than the general Yangtse line owing to local hostility certain to be encountered in the southern provinces.
 The Chekiang province situation, 1t is said, seems to be secure for the moment against further Cantonese advances toward Shanghai :.
