The World and All
VOICES
By Charles P. Driscoll

During the last thirty years some millions of
young people have spoiled their speaking voices by
yelling like maniacs at high school and college games.
A strange madness came over the colleges two or three
decades ago, manifesting itself in the most insane
screeching and hollering. High school pupils soon be-
came infected, and proceeded to initiate the colleges
with a vigor more rabid than commendable.
i have heard thousands Of healthy Young persons
doing violence to their vocal cords in unison, without
any greater provocation than a third-rate football con-
test and the gyrations Of a yell leader. I have known
several attractive and intelligent college girls who
have emerged from their halls Of study with perma-
nently hoarse or coarse voices. Excessive screaming
has given them the voices of fish-mongers. They are
credited in later life with "~whiskey voice." when in
reality they have sacrificed very attractive voices to
the silly custom Of bowling like lunatics over unim-
portant athletic contests that they will forget all about
as soon as they have left the campus.
The plainest girl and the homeliest man NAV make
themselves as agreeable and as popular as the bathing
beauty queen at a Kiwanis picnic, If they have pleas
ant and well modulated voices. It is not always need
full to have something profound or important to say.
Say it in a soothing voice, and it wins the golden ap-
pie. even though it's only a Mother Goose rhyme.
The feature o. the American stage that bores me
most is the artificial voice and vocal mannerisms Of
the average actor and actress. The women Of the stage
are worse in this respect than the men, but only a
little worse.
Walter Hampden is, in my opinion, the greatest
American actor now living. He has no artificial man
nerisms. and his voice and enunciation are clear and
m~elodiOus. Ethel Barrymore, on the other hand, al
ways drives me out Of the theater before the show Il
over, because Of her strained and artificial voice and
her pretentious manner Of speech.
I meet many girls, in the course Of a year, who
have spoiled naturally winning personalities by trying
to initiate Ethel Barrymore. The resulting voice, in
donation and method Of speech are a crime against good
taste.
If ] were a girl I would guard my voice and enun-
citation more than my complexion. You can always buy
a new complexion at the store, but only God can give
you a voice, and when you spoil the one IL gave you,
you are VIGOROUSLY out Of luck.

The adoption of a uniform traffic law as one of
che most effective means Of reducing the enormous
number Of automobile accidents was recommended by
Colonel A.. B. Barber. manager OF the transportation
and communication department Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States. In an address before
the five-state conference held the first Of the week at
Fort Worth under the auspices Of the Highway club Of
Texas.
The Highway Club unanimously endorsed the pro-
posAl advanced by Colonel Barber, and will receive the
support Of the entire state in an effort to secure the
necessary legislative changes. Texans have for years
been thoroughly Disguised with the traffic laws enact
I'd. and will welcome an opportunity TO impress upon
the legislature the necessity which exists for enact
nent OF a uniform law.
The states which have adopted a modern system of
motor vehicle regulation. Colonel Barber declared,
phow better records as regards accidents than those
states which have inadequate regulations. Some Of
these states, such as Massachusetts,, Rhode Island AID
Connecticut. have actually succeeded in reducing the
number q accidents during the past two years in spite
&c rapid increases in motor vehicle registrations.
In the twenty years since the automobile came in
te general use. Colonel Barber explained, more than
1go ooe persons have met their deaths in street and
highway traffic accidents. More than half OF these
fatalities haee occurred during the past six years.
They have been increasing since 1920 at an average
rate cg 10 per cent per annum. The total for the past
year was approximately 25.0oo. Furthermore. for every
fatality there are on the average At least twenty-five
rarioum personal injuries from motor traffic or more
th.n half a million such injuries in a single year. The
los. due to accidents, congestion delays. and other re-
~.ls. az All ordered traffic and inadequate traffic IA
e1lsies has been estimated on good authority ut more
,A., two billion dollars per annum. This enormous
human and material waste in the use Of one OF the
rest widely beneficial instruments Of modern inven-
,,or - unworthy OF a civilized and intelligent people.
The southern States have particular reason 20 be
Interested in the traffic problem. The records show
that siaes 1890 automobile fatalities in the South have
s-~-s..na three times n rapidly as in the Northeastern
states. The actual increase has been Isl per cent in
tho south against 90 per cent in the Northeast

I believe that the statement that by the modern
izatiOn of the Mississippi and Great Lakes system of
waterways we shall decrease freight on grain to world
markets by 20 cents n bushel Is not Ear wrong.
And by 80 doing we shoald increase the price Of
all grain to the farmer BY 10 cents n bushel, and this
10 cents is the profit end Of the price.
One single year Of such increase 70 midwest far
mers should more than equal the entire capital outlay
which we propose.
We should deepen our rivers 70 permit modern
barge transportation; deepen the outlet to the Great
Lakes to permit oeeangoing shipping. and 10 connect
them all together into definite transportation system.
The plan can be simply stated:
II is to deepen the 1000 miles Of the Mississippi
and its tributaries to misimum depths OF six to nine
feet. SO as to permit barge serviee-that Is the Missis-
sippi system.
The construction OF the St. Lawrence shipway from
the lakes to the Atlantic. thus opening every lake port
to the vessels Of the world over 5000 miles Of deep
waterways-the Great Lakes system.
There are also other important waterway improve
ments Of less sire, which bear directly and indirectly
upon the midwest.
