Meanwhile. efforts being directed toward
the production of noiseproof buildings where
folks may rest and sleep without disturbance from
the constant dsharmony of sounds-barriers of
safety against the rising roaring tide. Much at
tsntion is being devoted to this end at the
Bureau Of Standards. where a sound laboratory
with underground chambers has been erected.
Although no means have been found for shutting
out noises altogether, considerable progress has
private homes which will insure far more quiet
than is known at present.
There are two ways of accomplishing this says
v. L. Chrisler, in charge Of the sound laboratory.
One Is to build walls SO thick that noise cannot
get through them. Eighteen-inch brick walls,
for example, would insure practically sound-proof
rooms These would be very expensive and, for
such structure apartment house or office
building, impossible because of the weight factor.
The second way is to build each room with an
inner shell SO that blanket Of air is left between

Italy Backs Aviation
BY Pushing Progress

Italy is going to all limits in an ef-
fort to strengthen its air forces and
to keep the public aware of the i'm
portance which aviation holds in the
country's future. Two leaders in these
endeavorS are II Duce himself. whose
enthusiasm has not been dampened
by his past crashes, and his old friend
and supporter, Gen. Italo Balbo, now
secretary of state for aviation.
Several days ago Mussolini thrilled
the public by taking 1,200-mile trip
from Rome to Rimini, by way of Mes
sina, doing the entire distance in 10
hours and so minutes. On the same day
aces staged an air carnival at Ostia,
near Rome, going through a series of
mock air battles and races for the
benefit of giant crowd.
Such national heroes as Gen. de
Pinedo, Capt. Chiesi and Mario di Ber-
nardi, who formerly held the worlds
hydroplane speed record, assisted. Night
flights over Rome during the course of
70 ich the sky is filled with the roar of
motors and spectacular flights, such as
that of SO hydroplanes to Odessa, Rus
sia. recently, aid in keeping the people
enthused.
At the same time improvements are
being made in the commercial field.
Gen. Balbo recently announced the
completion of an agreement between
the government and the Italian Air
Service company for the opening Of a
new line between Trieste and Marseille,
with stops at Venice, Milan and Genoa.
The government has promised subsidy
of $2,000.000 for this line, to be made
over 10-year period.

, mento. If Count Sforza's inheritance
was not large in material things, his
father at least left him the taste for
scholarship and an appreciation Of the
value of an unflinching character.
When Giovanni Sforza was dying he re-
fused to allow his son to know Of his
condition because 1t was critical mo-
ment in European politics and he did
not want the son, then ambassador to
France, to leave his post of duty.
Count Sforza, although he is known
today as the outstanding defender Of
the italian Parliament, was not himself
a parliamentarian For over 80 years
he had followed the career of diplom-
acy, beginning in the Egypt of the old
days, when France was still asserting
its claims in Cairo. He was in Paris at
the time of the second Dreyfus trial,
and it was this event which first opened
his eyes to the sinister nature Of ma
tionalism and militarism.
After some years came the conference
of Algeciras in 1906, to which he was
sent by Signor Visconti-Venosta. the
nestor of Italian diplomacy, as chief of
the italian secretariat. After Algeciras
he went to Constantinople as counselor
of the embassy and saw there the
Young Turk revolution. In 1911 he
was sent as minister plenipotentiary to
Peking and during the five years which
followed he studied with genuine and
almost passionate interest. the problems
of the Far East. It was in these years
that he laid the basis for that almost
uncanny penetration of Chinese prob
lens which is evident in his recent
work, THE Chinese Enigma"
Served During World War.
During the World War in 1916 Count
Sforza was sent first to Belgrade and
then to Corfu as the italian minister
to the Serbian government, and during
the next two years, in daily contact
with the hardships of the exiled Serbs,
he learned to recognize their capacities,
and at a time when the mere word
"Fiume" was almost like war cry in
Italy he stood out against accepting
either the imperialism of Sonnino or
exploiting the follies of D'AnnunZio.
During his long career as g diplomat
Count Sforza never ceased to study the
art of diplomacy. It was, OF course,
necessary in the old regime to keep any
such serious purpose well hidden or dis
guised; an attache had first TO estab-
fish a reputation as social success
and hold his own in the society of the
capital to which he was accredited.
But courtly etiquette and silk-hatted
diplomacy never blinded Sforza even
in his younger days of the underlying
fundamentals.
recall discussing with him an inter-
American conference in which the
Secretary of State had apparently won
a great personal triumph by demolish-
ing in public session the arguments OF
Central American delegate. The
headlines in the American papers read:
"a great American diplomatic tri-
umph." Count Sforza's quiet comment
on this was that one should recall the
aphorism of Metternich; that In truly
great diplomacy there are no, great
triumphs. II one humiliates the op-
ponent by brow beating him or out
arguing him In the negotiations, there

be expected in this way. Little attention seems
to have been devoted to eliminating noise from
living quarters in the past Such devices are
tested through the various pitches and intensi-
ties, from $50 cycles which is lower than mans
voice in ordinary conversation, through 1000
cycles the highest reached by woman's voice,
to 5000 cycles. which represents approximately
the highest note on a piano.
Measurement Of Noise.
One Of the great difficulties has been to meas
ure noise" always bearing in mind that what
may be disagreeable mixture of sounds to one
person may be inoccuous. or even agreeable, to
somebody else This factor of individual differ
ence cannot be discounted or altogether elimi-
mated. At the Bureau of Standards laboratory
a device has been constructed to measure sound
in terms of new physical unit-the decibel-
named in honor of Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor of the telephone.
The decbel is based on the sensation unit
the smallest change in the intensity Of sound
which the average human can detect. But

Essen Women Healers
Battle With Officials

The wild women of Essen are the
terror of their town. They are, so
they assert, prophetesses and healers,
possessed by the spirit of a dead
prophet, something like Herr Weissen-
berg, Berlin soothsayer, whose proph-
ecies, however, never come true.
These wild women. calling themselves
the "Nameless Community" 60 about
the town with arms linked, singing
pious songs, preaching and being
general nuisance: In spite of having
been forbidden by the police to annoy
the public of Essen as they are doing,
they stormed the entrance Of hospital,
shrieking their religious songs and
healing" patients.
They got few weeks In prison for
resisting the police, but scarcely out
again they started acting according to
the inspiration of their dead prophet.
When they again began to sing before
a hospital a man rushed from the
crowd and started beating one of the
singers most numerically with an
umbrella.
1t was the irate husband OF one Of
the "healers," who not having seen his
wife for some time, and being furious
at her neglect of home and children,
administered what he considered just
punishment. The police again had to
remove the lighting, kicking and biting
women.
