Abatement of Some Noises
Promised By HaZen.

Once more the question of
abatement of unnecessary noises
in the District has been brought
to the fore. This time Commits
sioner Hazen emphatically directs
the police to enforce the rule
against the blowing of automo-
bile horns and the loud playing
of radios at unseemly hours.
This movement appears to be
in the nature of minor civic
activity by the police and not
a resumption of the campaign of
several years ago to make the
people noise conscious" Those
who have been studying this
problem are of the opinion that
a sustained educational move
ment is needed to accomplish
tangible and lasting results.
Back in the winter of 1856
there was promise of something
really worthwhile being accom-
plished along the line of sup
pressing the unnecessary noises
of the city streets. 1t was shown
by testimony of experts that there
is a direct connection between
noises and traffic accidents. 9th
er experts have testified that
much of the insanity may be
traced to the wrecked nervous
systems for which these noises
are responsible.
1t was in December, 1885, that
the deputy police commission
er of New York and the secre-
tary of Mayor La Guardia Wis
tied Washington and told how,
by systematic campaign, the
great city of New York was
being made noise conscious. They
told how those making unneces-
sary noises were confronted con-
tinually by persons holding their
fingers to their lips-suggesting
quiet. They told of many bene-
fits accruing through the sue
cessful operation of the cam
paign.
Under the influence of these
New York missionaries a local
campaign was launched under a
Noise Abatement Committee.
The honary chairman of the
committee was Commissioner
HaZen The other officers of the
committee we're: Chairman. w.
A. Van Duzer; vice chairman,
Arthur j. Harnett; secretary,
Harry p Somerville, and assist
ant secretary, w. Kochenderfer.
Headquarters were opened at 1881
G. street and stationery was
printed.
Meetings of the committee were
held through the intervening
months, including April. At the
meeting on April %, 1896, nu-
merous recommendations were
submitted by the chairman and
some subcommittee were pro-
vided. But as far as known the
movement died out with that
meeting.
From time to time there have
been suggestions that the cam
paign be resumed but nothing
has ever happened, though there
was general agreement that it
was something much needed by
the community. 1t is under
stood that the interest of Com
missioner Hazen has been re-
newed through receiving numer-
GUS complaints. It is believed to
be a problem deserving atten-
ton.

Correct Drafting Needed
For District LegiSlatiOn.

In civic circles there has never
been any special enthusiasm over
the form in which much of the
District legislation is passed by
Congress. The several District
bills recently vetoed by the Presi-
dent, because of ambiguity or
incompleteness, present striking
examples of careless legislation.
The President found no fault
with making possible the in
creased permanent use of park
ing meters, but he wanted some
thing definite as to how they
were to be paid for and what
was to become of the money
collected through them.
He favored the idea of giving

Hand Made Items
Beyond Imitation.

Look closely also at the woven fab
RIGS. See what fun 1t is to create with
ones hands a beauty which ma
chimes may only try to initiate.
There are also many very beautiful
stenciled, block printed and painted
fabrics. The sculptured rugs, too,
are as fine as hands may create.
The young man who makes these
rugs was asked by his wife to give
her his opinion on the rug she was
weaving, and he did so in no
uncertain terms, proceeding to show
her what he meant. The result was
that he gave up portrait painting
and has devoted the last IS years
to these sculptured rugs. He has
won prizes and awards all over the
world for his original designs and
superb workmanship.
You will find glass used in many
new ways, now that it has come to
the stage where it does not break
easily. Laid over polished aluminium,
it makes a piece of furniture that is
as perfect in design and detail as
though made by jeweler. In form
and design for table service and
decorative purposes, it will make you
catch your breath.
They tell me that this ne-month
show is the closing exhibition of the

this will stimulate will make it i'm

of the
Moment

Tell me. What do you do with a
man who insists on reading even
when there is company in the room
or even when he is taken out to call
on friends?
I know several men who invari-
ably go off in corners to read books
no matter where they are or
whether they are guests or hosts.
And I even know couple Of girls
with tendencies that way.
OF course just don't do anything
about them. I let them read. If
I'm the only other person around
I read. too. If there are others
there. I talk and ignore the reader.
But have a notion that that is
too easy. In a way it's very pleas
ant, because the reader very often
looks up and contributes para
graph or so from his book or makes
an occasional inspired wisecrack.
However, I suppose it's not very
polite of a man to sit through So
ciel evening with a book. And I
suppose I ought to be the first to
urge that he be reformed. I have
no suggestions. though. I only
know that readers of books are
tough to reform.

Mahogany Substitutes

Many woods have masqueraded
under the name of mahogany ever
since mahogany became recognized
as a fine cabinet wood. In the ear
lest days no distinction was made
between mahogany and cedar, both
going under the name cedar"
The name mahogany" came into
use after England took Jamaica, in
1855, and thus was able to know
the trees as we'll as the wood. Since
then prima vera has been called
white mahogany" although not
mahogany. at all. The wood now
goes under its real name, prima
vera. For many years, before the
days Of Federal Trade Commits
sions and Better Business Bureaus,
padouk was known as East Indian
mahogany" The most recent and
extensive poaching on the name
mahogany" has been under the
misnomer philippine mahogany
This name has been applied to a
dozen or more kinds of trees of
the Dipterocarp family that grow
in the Philippines. These trees are
not remotely related to mahogany.

Dorothy Dix Says
Remember Domestic Happiness
Cannot Be Bought With Money

DEAR MISS DIX-Is a mans
marriage doomed to failure If he
marries for money? am planning
to marry one girl while I love
another. If I marry one I will re-
ceive financial help from her
parents, but if I marry the girl
I love I may never have much more
than a bare living. Is it possible to
learn to love a girl after you marry
her? I think if I marry the girl I
love quarrels will arise because of
money difficulties. What should I
do? MAN IN DOUBT.
Answer-When men and women
marry for money the astounding
thing about it is how cheaply they
hold themselves. You would think
that if they were going to sell them
selves that they would ask a big
price. A million dollars, enough to
enable them to live in luxury and
buy everything that money will buy.
doesn't seem too much to get for
giving up ones self-respect and in
dependence and ones dream Of love
and romance and the wives and
husbands who are their hearts
desire.
But they seldom get any fancy
prices for themselves. Now you. for
instance, are offering yourself at
regular bargain rates. You don't
expect to get more than little help
from the girls parents, and perhaps
for two or three thousand dollars
you are willing to give up the girl
you love and everything that makes
marriage worth while. I think you
are making a bad trade and that at
least you should have few yachts
and things as compensation for
marrying a girl you don't love and
having to be subservient to your
father in-law.
I don't think it is; possible for any
man who marries for money to be
happy, because domestic happiness
is one of the things that is not sold
over the counter. The richest man
on earth hasn't money enough to
buy it. For a little while man
may be dazzled by the ability to do
and have the things he has always
craved, but in time these pail upon
him. He gets tired of fine houses
and polo ponies and rushing about
from place to place, then he longs
for congeniality and tenderness,
understanding and sympathy and
all the things that make for real
happiness. These he cannot pur-
chase.

Here's an unusually smart exam
pie of that hard-to-find style, the
youthful dress in womens sizes.
This new version of the button
front fashion has exactly the effect
on your figure that you want it to
have. Bodice shirring, waistline
gathers and wide shouldered sleeves
place all the emphasis up-top. The
skirt is cut to a high waistline,
which makes you look small around
