Noise as Mans ENEMY,

After study conducted through six
months, the Noise Abatement Commits
sion of Greater New York has returned
o report which should give serious pause
not only to the metropolis, but to other
cities in this country. The following
paragraph from the report is worthy
of note and consideration in every large
center Of population:
This committee, after study of data
so far made available through research
declares that the continual pressure of
etrident sound to which Nel' Workers
are subjected tends to produce impair
ment of hearing, to introduce harmful
strain upon the nervous system. leading
to neurasthenic and psychasthenic
states, TO cause loss of efficiency of
workers and thinkers and finally to
interfere so gravely with sound. refresh
ing sleep that rest is difficult and in
some cases impossible.
These conclusions are the result of
scientific technical tests and are not
merely the deductions of laymen pur-
suing a theory. 1t l. shown by detailed
cases that sound actually impairs the
efficiency Of the human mechanism. II
is demonstrated that repeated noises
and incessant din lead to dizziness and
TO arrangements OF the nervous system
which invite disease ard collapse.
This is the premise of the report
Remedies are to be found and if pos
sible adopted. Some progress has beer
already made in that direction. The

large vote in Cook County" said Mrs.
Mccormick, "are prone to overlook the
fact that I carried SIS counties in addi-
ton to Cook and had a majority Of

not believe that even the least informed
commentators on Illinois politics believe
that the Chicago City Hall patronage

Mrs Mccormick is a clever and re-
sourceful politician as she has already
proved, She Is not likely to wait to be
attacked. and she will give j. Ham"
Lewis, the Democratic nominee. plenty
to do when the campaign gets under
way. The odds, despite the LIQUOR ques-
ton, seem to be decidedly in her favor
when it comes to the election in No
vember. The Senate will have a hard
job disqualifying her because of her ex-
penditures, If 1t undertakes to do SO, as
is predicted in some quarters. Unless
the Senate sets up hard and fast fig
ure, beyond which campaign expendi-
lures for senatorial nominations shall
not go. 1T is impossible to see how she
is to be turned down. Commenting on
the report that much more money
was expended" than was reported by
her under oath, Mrs. Mccormick said:
Before the Nye committee" she
said. under oath I testified that my
expenditures were 1852, $40 90. and, as I
then testified. the only other expendi-
lures on my behalf were by three VOL
unteer organizations, which spent, am
now informed by them, an aggregate of
S67,7l4!O. This and the 1882, $40 90
we're all that was spent by me or on
my behalf"

Strongly Condemned
, the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Today Is Halloween, the eve of the
Feast of All Hallows or All Saints day.
Instead of being observed as day Of
fasting and prayer, 1t 10 given over to
pagan rites Of superstition and to riot
Gus merrymaking. In this suburb gangs
of in-bred schoolboys 60 about at night
seeing what destructive mischief they
can do. In this neighborhood last year
they misplaced for-sale signs, they
threw stones at windows in vacant
houses, they broke down q fence, they
overturned stone flower boxes and COM
mitted other depredations.
Parents should be ashamed to allow
their children to act like criminal hood
lums, annoying their neighbors and de-
stroying property. They wouldn't con-
slider these malicious pranks so awfully
funny If they were the folk that suffered
from them or II they were compelled to
pay for the damage done.
Respectable people will keep their
young sons at home that night.

Saving China With Silver.

President Chang Kai-Shek of China
has a unique plan for solving the des-
perate Chinese economic situation and
producing other millennial results in
the revolution republic. 1t Is
proposed that this country should loan
China 1000, 100000 ounces Of silver,
worth some $500 900, 900, for nifty years
at two per cent. Judge Paul Linebarger
of Washington, legal adviser to the
Marking government, has just arrived
from China. He says he will ask Con-
gress to authorize the loan, the pro-
ceeds Of which would be used exclusively
for productive and constructive pur-
poses.
Much is to be said for the proposal,
small as the prospect is that a coun-
try plunged in Chinas difficulties could
hope to receive such q credit at this
time. Judge Linebarger was asked
when he stepped from the ship at San
Francisco yesterday what sort Of Sc
curity China could offer. "Her ma
tional honor" he replied, would be the
best security. In addition to that,
China would pledge repayment on the
basis of increased domestic revenues
and from customs duties derived from
revised tariff schedules" Chinese re-
spect for financial obligations is pro-
verbal. But to what extent a national
government seriously and chronically
harassed by its foes could carry out
It's obligations is a question sure to be
pondered carefully before 90 immense
a transaction could come within thu
