REQUIEM mass was read for the
repose of his soul, by Father Louis
B. Preston, pastor of st. AIMS
church. Father Preston paid
beautiful tribute to the life of the
deceased, telling of his love for
God, his mother, his wife and chill
dren, and his love for his country.
He urged those present to emulate
his life of fidelity to God and
church by faithfully living up to
their duties as Catholics and Amer
leans. John Cotter, boy soprano and
radio artist over WAIU, sang two
beautiful solos which visibly touch
ed the assembled throng. His first
solo was "Oh Jesus Open Wide Thy
Heart" followed by pray For Me-
Following the services, the body
was taken to ST. AIMS cemetery
for interment. Rev. Father VIM. +.
Maloney, close friend of the de-
ceased, performed the absolution at
the grave, after which the American
Legion held brief rites to honor their
dead comrade An army captain
stepped up to the grave and read
brief message which said in part:
1--WE his comrades, submitting to the
Divine will of God, now commit the
body of our beloved comrade
to the earth and his soul to God
from whence it came" Following
this a firing squad took their posi-
tions at the grave and at the COM
mand "Salute the dead"-the GUS
tomary three volleys were fired over
the grave of the dead soldier, after
which a bugler sounded taps away
in the distance, announcing to those
standing by, that their buddy had
now fallen asleep in the Lord. May
his soul rest in peace.-XX.

to death, were held Wednesday
morning, Aug. z, at st. AIMS
church, with beautiful and impress

The committees petition was accom-
panied by copy Of a speech made 80

1.-THE Future of Washington"
I'VE are told that Washington can
never be as large as New York City,"
Mr.. Randle said in the speech, because
our port is not as good as that of the
latter; but by precedent and logical de-
auctions this idea is most erroneous
one.
II maintain the speaker continued.
that there is no question but that
Washington WILL in time, be the largest
city on the American Continent, If not

Randle in his address pictured the
position of prominence and the heights
of glory to which the famous capital
cities of European nations had climbed
and asserted that "the rule that the
capital city grows to be the largest and
most important city of nation holds
good with even the Acknowledged Mon

ished surface. It was also found that the most efficient design is that using a double reflector placed at the proper angle in the window opening. Further tests showed it advantageous to have the inside shell curved in concave form, in order to reflect back the vi- brations that would get past the outer shield Testing the mutf1er on a fourth floor window, it was found to exclude about 75 per cent of the noise coming up from the street.
 Many noises can be avoided by giving careful thought to the location of the home," Prof. Laird explains. If the site favored for other reasons is located in a section which has con siderable traffic the outside noises can be prevented from entering the home by setting the house far back on the lot and by using principally the back windows for ventilation. Since chang es in city planning may turn quiet location into q noisy one in a few years, it is a wise precaution always to set the house as far back from the street as possible, and to see that the floor plan allows for adequate ventila- ton if only the rear windows are used Careful and tight weather-stripping of all windows and the doors will further help in excluding noises from the home"
New Britain herald., 1929-07-11

Not all noises cause the fear re action and small number of people may be exceptions to the rule. As a rule, however, intense noises, or in- termittent noises appear to be prime instigators of the fear reaction.
 "ln the cat the fear reaction is in dcated by the hairs on the back stand ing straight up This is caused by the contraction of tiny involuntary muscles at the base of these hairs. A similar involuntary muscle contraction is found in human subjects in the fear reaction, causing an increase in mus culaf tonuS or tension. Pulse rate, blood pressure, and breathing are other biological phenomena which may be affected by the fear reaction"
 At the University of Michigan a few years ago, for instance, a sleeper was being studied. It was found that when taxi passed his window in the middle of the night, the noise of the machine caused rise in blood pres sure, even though the sleeper did not awaken.
 In experiments upon typiSts in the Colgate University laboratory it was found that when the noise in the test / chamber was reduced by only ) per cent there was a per cent increase in output, and that about one-fourth less bodily energy was burned up in doing the typing There are two remark able things about these findings
 "The fact that so small a decrease in noise by absorbing it with wall panels resulted in per cent greater output" Professor Laird continues, lis probably due to the unreduced noise intensity being just above what may tentatively be called a critical level; that is, before the l5 per cent re duction the noise in the test chamber may have been at the point in intensity where it produced i'll effects This is indicated by the fact that reducing the noise still more did not affect the out put figures. Apparently there is critical point in the intensity scale of noises above which the fear reaction

scraps, which still admits fresh air while keeping much noise out.
 "Chidrens sleeping rooms should be given especial attention in this re- gard They must be protected against household noises, such as the radio, conversation and laughter. The doors of their sleeping rooms should be kept closed and further safeguarded with strips of felt or tightly fitting, soft rubber weather stripping. It is astonishing how much noise can seep into a room through tiny crevice. Even the keyhole should be covered or plugged, else much of the other en- daavor will not produce adequate Quietng
 "lf the radio loudspeaker is fastened to the wall the programs will have a deVliSh tendency to travel through the entire house through increased wall vibration.
 Houses themselves, however, are us ually quiet. The damaging noises enter from outside"
 After q series of tests calculated to show the nature of sound waves entering a window from various an- ges, a 'window-nuffier" was designed by which the sound waves are actually reflected back from the window-open- ing, in much the same way that light waves are reflected back from pol
New Britain herald., 1929-07-11

and possibly other effects are found, and intensive experimental work is be- ing undertaken in the laboratory to discover these critical points for var- ous noises and individuals. So far the indications are that most city and office and factory noise intensites are above this critical point"
 A remarkable finding made by the investigators relates to the conSump- ton of about p per cent more bodily energy, due to working under noisier conditions. The energy consumption in calories was determined by collect ing exhaled air and anaIyzing it for oxygen consumption, carbon dioxlde production and total volume.
 There are simple but effective methods the average householder can follow to produce a desirable quiet. The average person. however. has to be. convinced that noise is to be avoided.
 "Steeping rooms, especially. should be guarded against noise" is the warn ing Professor Laird gives in Hygeia. "A great amount of disturbing noise could be avoided" he says, merely by closing the windows but this would prevent the entrance of fresh air l have solved this problem in my sleep ing room by having small box built out of noise-abSorhing wall board

MILK BOTTLES Made of Paper

with paper milk bottles, no handling them before they are placed in use, as the machinery for their manufacture Is installed in the dalry's plant. From the moment the cut sheets of paper are placed in the bottle making ma chine they continue on their formation until the container is filled, sealed and discharged. upon the conveyor that takes them to the packing table.
 With more than human deftness the machine then attaches the liquid-proof bottom and sends the bottle on its way to the paraffining process. where it is made airtight, leakproof and sterile.
 Now it is ready for the filling and sealing machine, where automatically the correct amount of milk is measured into each container. There Is no Spiling and no waste.
 The paper milk bottle is opened with pair of scissors. not a fork or pointed knife. for the top must be neatly cut off. The bottle is then closed and its contents safeguarded against impuri- ties and spillage by neatly folding over and pressing down the top of the contaner.
