NOISE IS GETTING.
ON NATION 'SNERVES.
PSyChiatrist Addresses Engi-
neers on Results of Useless
CIamor in Daily Life.

The human race is becoming more
of increased noises caused by the in
ventile age, DR.. Nolan Lewis, psychia-
trist at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, said in
a Symposium on Needless Noises" con-
Quoted in the Cosmos Club last night
by DR.. F. H. Newell, president of the
Research Service. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Wash
ington Society of Engineers.
An explanation of this increased ten
sion was that the machine and motor
age is increasing the volume of noise
more rapidly than the nervous system
can adapt itself in compensation.
In describing the reaction of individ-
uals to the sounds that may be termed
needless noises" DR.. Lewis said that
while the drone of machinery may be
music to the ears of the machinist, on
the other hand, it may be a painful dis
tulbance to the ear drums of the aver
age layman. The groans of doctors
patient, however, he said, while well
come to the physicians ears as a means
of revealing the location of an ailment
usually would prove repulsiye to the
machinist.
Environment Important.
Noise" was defined generally as
ANY sound that diSturbS or annoys."
1t was pointed out that while the
strains of a jazz band sound very much
out OF place during working hours they
may harmonize with a persons frame
OF mind late in the evening or in the
small hours of the morning when the
working mans environment has shifted.
Street cars were generally accepted
as noisy. 1t was revealed however,
that definite steps are under way to
minimize the clatter of the wheels on
rails by use of rubber insulation be-
tween the wheel hubs and axle
Further evidence of the reaction of
individuals TO noise was pointed out
In the example of an inexperienced
typist in a room full of clicking type
writer's and the veteran operator in the
same room. The novice, it was stated,
would probably find solace in the clat-
ter OF other machines to cover up his
own "greennesS" while the veteran
would be affected to a degree of dis
traction.
Sirens Most Annoying.
Members agreed that the most nerve
wracking of all noises is the shrill call
OF the fire or ambulance siren.
An economic phase of the discussion
was touched upon when the question of
how noise affects the value of property.
1t was contended that street cars, which
are said to cause 81 per cent of street
noises, often prove injurious to the
pocketbook
Other speakers included DR.. V. L.
Crisler, physicist of the Bureau of
Standards, who demonstrated the
'audiometer" an instrument used in
measuring sound, and R. H. Dalgleish,
chief engineer of the Capital Traction
Co., who told of Developments in
progress TO create less noisy street cars

JOSLIN GETS COXEY PLAN
Hoover Secretary Is Given New
Legal Tender" Proposal.

Jacob S. Coxey, who in 1894 led the

plan for improving the economic situa-
ton.
Coxey, now mayor-elect OF Massillon,

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 9.-Jack
Holland, owner of the Oklahoma City
Western League club has decided that

velopment of young base ball players.
He announced yesterday his team will
go on a daylight schedule July 10, with
the exception of ladies night games

not be abandoned because of their pop
ularity
The majors are becoming harder to
convince of a PLAYERS worth as ad-
judged by averages compiled by day

night game holds back the deVelopmSht
of Young PLAYERS. for the ball is harder
to see, both at bat and in the field. The
night air is none too good for the
players. :
THE novelty of night base ball is
wearing off to the extent that it does
not pay to develop players on only
night base ball diet"

N EW YORK, July 9.-The St.
Louis Nationals Jared raggedly
in Their last lap on the way
home. Now they can dig an
ether trench within their cwn fortifica-
items and fight their way in grandiose
style against all enemies until they are
again forced to leave for foreign parts.
They must play home series with
Cincinnati and then with Chicago be-
fore they meet the Eastern teams.
Cincinnati is no longer the jelly cake
that it was and Chicago is now teening
with lusty swats, back home again. The
Cubs will be a dangerous team this
month and next on their own ground
Boston will be the last team to play
in st. Louis and then the champions
must go to Chicago before they take
the dog day limited for the East.
Robins Stop Giants.
st. Louis did fairly well in the East,
finishing up with a brace of victories
in Philadelphia. The champions split
even with Pittsburgh on the Fourth of
July, then entrained for Chicago and
got thoroughly soused in the Chicago
River by the Cubs.
The fascination of the National
League race lies in just such thump-
ing as the Cubs gave st. Louis. A
punch of that kind sets aspiring ball
players back on their launches. The
Brooklyn Robins gave the Giants such
a punch when the Giants were SEEM
ingly on their way to the lead i'll the
race
If st. Louis is strong enough to re-
verse these wicked jabS when it is play
ing on its own ground it can even up
the sings of fate, but the Eastern teams
will be harder to defeat on the next
round in st. Louis than they were on
the first
ST. Lonis holds its lead in the race
because it has won games from
Pittsburgh, IL from Cincinnati and 7
from Philadelphia. That totals IS VIC
tories out of AS. The Cardinals have
been almost as successful againtS New
York, yet the series Is divided six games
to five between them, and this is no
evidence of great superiority.
Critz's Absence Hurts.
New York may have no better sailing
than st. Louis as far as the formidability
of batting is concerned, because the
Giants must play the Phillies with
Hugh Crltz. second baSeman, out. No
team can face heavy batsmen like the
Phillies if it is not well prepared to
close up its infield. without a good
second baseman and a good shQrtstop
any base ball nine that encounters the
Pills will be apt to be swept off its
feet. After visiting Philadelphia the
Giants must turn West to Chicago and
run afoul of another bunch of hitters.
If Brooklyn were now scheduled for
a long stay at home the team might
push its way forward until it could as
sumo commanding position in the
race. The question is whether Brook
lyn will be a good team on the road
this trip. On its first attempt it was
not so much. But maybe Mickey Finn
will give the Robins courage.

Tense of his heavyweight championship.
Everything was settled at a meeting

nera wherever and whenever the Madi-
son Square Garden Corporation Of Iii

William V. SAKE. who represented the
Garden at the big conference, an
nounced the fight would be held some
time this Fall at a site to be selected.
Prospects are the bout will be held
either at Chicago, Jersey City or Phila-
delphia, with Cleveland an outside pcs
sibility. New York State definitely is
out, as Schmeling is under suspension
by the New York Athletic Commission
for his failure to give Jack Sharkey
return match. The commission has
given indication it intends to renstate
the champion just because he knocked
out Young Stribling at Cleveland last
week
Camera was represented by his man
ager. Leon See. who insisted the bout
should be staged September II, as
called for in contract signed several
months ago. Manager Jacobs. however.
claimed that Camera had violated the
original pact by trying to run cut on
it several weeks ago and failing to post
a forfeit, so the Garden is left free to
choose its own date.
Chicago was eliminated as a possible
site for the engagement due to an
Illinois law which forbids bouts of more
than 10 rounds.
