TO measure changes in sound with ref.
erence to sensation Is not simple and
has proved a stumbling block to inves-
tigators in the past First the senSa-
ton unit Is established by series OF
standardized tests, determining the
minimum threshold of sound percep-
ton for the average ear. But noise
itself cannot be measured in sensation
units because the perception Of sound
proceeds not as an arithmetical rate
but by logarithmic scale. One hun
by the ear as 100 times more sound
than one sensation unit. Rather tfo
difference is as the log of one to the
log of one hundred. So arbitrarily the
log of the number of sensation units
Is designated as tn. number of bells.
This is then multiplied by ten for
translation into decibels.
The device has been used mostly in
measuring the noise inside the cabins
Of airplanes, but would be equally ef-
fective in an apartment house or an
standard a 1..TS HS,asurerAnt silent

Thus far there is no accepted way of

and mental makeup of persons differs
so greatly.
The Pain Of Noise.
It has been determined, however,
that when 10S sensation units Is
reached the average listener feels
physical pain. Actually the physical
sense of pain is stimulated by the
sound waves. A much greater amount

German light cruiser Emden recently
touched at Honolulu, reference was
made by some of her officers to Ger
many's revival Of merchant marine, and
the impression was gained that the
visit Of the Emden was quite as much
in the line of goodwill development
and trade promotion as it was q train

With both passenger and freight bust

and Japanese flags are entering on an

II the exporter does not get his money

government will advance this sum.
While 1t is anticipated that most for

1t Is agreed that delays in payment are
o great burden, especially to the small
trader, and the authorities want to en-
courage this class of business men by
such financial assistance. Efforts will
be made especially to open up new
fields Of trade In South America.

Reports Of Maeda's patriotism and
the zeal with which he preached loyalty
to the japanese empire reached the ears
of officials of the imperial household
department and they offered to reward
him with grant Of money.
This he refused to accept. claiming
that he had done nothing to merit ma

Maeda's ancestors ruled their province
with an iron hand, but an unfortunate
political alliance resulted in their de-
feat when the Tokugawa shogunate
came into power 800 years before Japan
was opened to western Influences.

claims and titles to mineral and
timber locations, coal and iron de
posits, existing so extensively in
southeast Utah, eastern Nevada and
other western states.
The railroads are beginning to
maneuver for place so as to take
part in the enormous freight and
passenger traffic that will result
from the building of this project;
but there is no need for excitement
because it will be several years be-
fore any appreciablc results will
materializc and the over stimulation
of mind and matter may go long
ways to offset the benefits that will
accrue in an orderly and logical de
velopment. 1t is falacy to assume
that the hundreds of millions OF
dollars expended for material and
labor will dwell for any length of
time at the works or even in the
seven states. The concrete work,
aside from the steel, will be largely
of local origin but the equipment
and machinery will necessarily come
from the middle western and east
crn states. The biggest part Of the
expense lies in the labor and that
will come from all the states and
our foreign ncighbors will undoubt-
edlv be represented in the labor en-
rollment. The affair is toe big to
localize even if there was any dis
position to do SO.
The money we send bar:; east for
supplies will go largely into the
bands of eastern labor and it is ma
tural to assume that it will be used
to some extent to buy the products
of the western farmers. 1t is reason
able to suppose that the dam pro
.iect and the things that come from
it will encourage other activities
and the development of the great
coal and iron interests which lie
dormant in nearby territory may
be expected to show signs of life in
the near future.
We must realize more and more
that so far as the western states are
concerned our interests are INSOFAR
able. We should remember, too, that
we depend to very large extent
on middle western and eastern
states to absorb our surplus and we
are also constant buyers of their
wares so that we must finally con
clude that we are all dependent onci

Undershirt Shot
Not Undersheriff

A voice shouting frantically
through the telephone at the sher-
iff office late yesterday cried
something that sounded like, "the
undersheriff has been shot full of
holes at McCabe.'
That was enough. Sheriff c. l..
Gillett was taking no chances on los
ing his new lieutenant, Charles Nice,
so he did not wait for any more de-
tails but rushed to the scene of the
supposed tragedy.
When he arrived at the McCabe
store a man rushed out and told him
that his undershirt had been shot
full of holes by several MeXicans.
He wanted them arrested.
The man said he had washed the
garment and hung it on a line to
dry and some Mexicans, of the
same labor gang in which he was
employed, shot it full of holes with
a % calibre rifle.
We'll for the love of Nike! -
the sheriff exclaimed.
Listen fella the only way you'll
get anybody arrested is to put the
shirt on and then let 'em shoot. -

The Boulder dam is big thing
for the west; in fact, when complet-
ed it will be the biggest construc-
tion Job that has even been done
anywhere in the world. The seven
states bordering on the Colorado
river will apparently be the chief
beneficiaries but, the effect of the
work in building the dam, harness
ing the water and conveying the
electric energy is far reaching and
will, in some way or another, be
felt by every state in the union, and
when finished it becomes Il national
asset for all time.
Speaking from the humane stand
point, it is a wonderful thing for
the more than sixty thousand people
whose lives and property have been
in jeopardy to feel assured that
they are going to have relief So
that they may live and work with
out the fear of being wiped cut by
the flood waters of the Colorado,
and it will also be assuring to others
who wish to come into that section
to live and work. OF course, the
building of the dam and the orderly
distribution of water will bring into
agricultural use vast undeveloped
area, portion of which may be
designated as reclaimed from sea-
sonal overflow, and the remainder,
lands which have not been titled on
account of the lack of water, but
the actual amount of land that may
be irrigated is likely to be over
estimated and be it remembered
that the laws of gravity have not
been changed. When we take toll
of the amount of land being with
drawn from agriculture and put into
civic and industrial use each year
we need not be alarmed with the
idea that the increased productivity
of the reclaimed land will prove a
menace to our present production or
producers; but we must be mind
ful Of need for gathering rs we
spread and we must look to foreign
markets more and more as an addi-
tional outlet for our surplus.
The additional water supply and
the electric energy generated there
from will stabilize and stimulate
growth and development in this
great western empire. Already we
hear of big interests pulling out and
dusting up their blueprints, surveys,

VARIOUS AGENCIES UNITE TO
EXPOSE REAL ESTATE FRAUDS

Coast papers have become very
active in their stand against the
xploitation of worthless land in the
chocolate Mountain area in the past
Few weeks. Their articles on the
subject are very valuable to Impe-
dal Valley, as perhaps the most ef-
feetive way in which to stop the
sale of this worthless land is
through well arranged publicity
which is read by the general pub
ic.
A week ago Los Angeles paper
an long article on the exploiting
lf worthless arid acres, feeling that
such a story was necessary because
u the flood of inquiries which have
)een received by the United States
and office and the Los Angeles

yalley chambers have also been de-
uged with inquiries on this land,
md each has been answered with q
etter stating that the land in the
'hoeolate Mountain region is too
nigh to be benefited by the
Boulder dam project, and of no
agricultural value if water were
available.
Filings in the recorder S office
nd the activity in marketing these
Chocolate Mountain areas Indicate
extensive sales and the inquiries
made about the land show how un-
Informed many buyers have been re-
yarding it, though there are various
ources of reliable information on
he subject. "The pity of it, says
