The Noise Evil.

At a conference held in Washington
the other evening on the subject of city
noises it was declared by a pSychiatrist
that needless sounds are aff1icting the
nerves Of urban dwellers TO the point
of actual deterioration. No scientific
analysis of the rasping, grating, Shrek
ing din Of traffic and trade is necas-
sary 10 demonstrate the harm that is
done by the constant clamor that as
sails the ears ii places of close habila-
ton. Nor does the fact that people
have grown used" to such incessant
vibrations loSsn the harm that is
dcne by them. The question is not as to
the effect of the tumult upon the human
system but as to the remedies that
may be found to abate this grave
nuisance.
With every aid to transportation de-
velopcd in the course CT the past half
century HIS come an. addition to the
racket that batters upon the nerves
The trolley car ard the motor car
have taken heavy to,l in exchange for
their convenience. Where once the
soft padding of the hoofs of hoses was
, heard now rise the grind o. gears, the
cash of metal wheels upon metal rails,
the groan of electric motors. Rubber
tires have softened the impact of the
wheels upon the pavement, but the au-
tomobiles themselves. with all their re-
finements and improvements, manifest

Craftsmanship VS.. Partisanship.

Will partisanship or statesmanShip
govern in the conduct OF the Congress
which meets today for the first time
since its election? The Nation will
watch its legislative representatives at
work. And the Nation is by no means
as much interested in party politics as
it is in sound leadership, calculated to
aid in the period Of depression which
still fingers. There is much that Con-
greSS can do in a constructive way, al
though it is admitted that no legisla-
tive measure can be a cure-all for the
business slump and unemployment. If
constructive measures are advanced and
meet resistance, merely because they
are advanced by a Republican Presj-
dent, Democrats, who hope to carry the
national election next year. are not
likely to gain in favor with the people.
On the other hand, constructive sue-
eestions that come from the Democrats
IN Congress should not be discarded
by the Republican administration merely
because they are of Democratic origin.
II is too much to hope that there will
be cessation of politics in this emer-
gency. The millennium is not yet ar
rived. And, furthermore. a militant
political party out of power and seeking
TO obtain control of the Government.
under the American system, turns natu-
rally to attack upon the existing ad-
min 'stration.
The Congress is divided politically,
with the House having a Democratic
majority and the Senate a Republican
plurality. 1t is a difficult task In
such circumstances to bring about the
passage of legislation favored by either
the Democratic or the Republican
parties, if there be politics involved in
the legislation. But there. is legislation
that is needed for the good of the
country; there are policies looking to
leadership in the industrial situation
which should have favorable attention
from both sides.
Predictions have been made that the
new Congress viii undertake radical
measures; that efforts will be exerted to
put through bills merely for the purpose
OF embarrassing the President of the
United States. In other words. that
politics will be the order of the day
There is reason TO hope, however, that
better Leadership and sober thought will
bring more conservative action on the
part of the Congress, and that Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans will act
with greater measure of cooperation
than has been predicted The country
will be the gamer if partisan politics
can be laid aside when necessity arises,
as it will frequently during the coming
session.

With Skill and Care,

From the San Antonio Evening News.
Col. Charles A Lindbergh's f1awless
record of safe hying-often under con-
ditions which would discourage manv
aviators-continues to grow. One feat
after another is attributed partially to
rare genius and partly to the Lind
bergh luck" No matter what tha
weather, or what the hazards along the
route, people say that "Lindy" viii
bring his ship through-and he un-
failingiy does. Apparently, public con-
fdenee' In that pilots powers is un-
limited. OF course, Col. Lindbergn
uses no magic. Both his supposed
luck" and his genius spring from an
extraordinary capacity for taking pains
He knows his plane and. demands of
it nothing which it cannot perform,
allowing for an ample margin of
safety
Before taking off-whether on a 40
mile or tranSoceanic fiight-Lind-
bergh sees that everything is right"
An incident of the Lindberghs' recent
journey to the Orient is typical. Dur
ing the voyage the travellers had a
days lay-oVer; instead of resting or
sightseeing, they spent the time
checking over the plane" Col Lind
bereh emphasizes safety, and that
trait-not skill or native talent alone
has kent him in the front rank OF
ayiators.
