Sattie Begun in New York City Eight Years Ago to Suppress All Need- less Clamor-~Zone of Quiet Extended. New York.—That movement to sup- press unnecessary noise which Mrs. Isaac L. Rice began in this town eight years ago has now extended to foreign countries, and the suppression of un- necessary noise has been added to the reforms of international scope, Three years ago Prof. Theodore Lessing of Han- over, through the efforts of Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the founder of the Society for | the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise i has been added to the band, the first organization of its kind in Germany. | Today there are 39 local societies scat- | tered throughout that country, and Professor Lessing, who is in constant | communication with Mra. Rice, reports { the movement is steadily growing. In England practically nothing had | been done until Mrs. Rice had success- | fully launched her campaign .in this; city. There s, however, at this time | the Betterment of London association, working along these same lines, with the hope that its efforts will event- ually be emulated throughout Eng- land, Through the association In New York all unnecessary noise has been regulated In hospital zones, and night, with “its great giit of sleep,” 18 no | | Dr. N. H. Maxwell. longer a menace to the patient. School zones, too, though they do not rejoice in primeval quiet, are no longer beset by the noisy pests which once destroy- ed the nerves of teachers and made real work for the children difficult. Mrs, Rice feels, however, that the greatest work of the association has been done in promoting and populariz- ing the sane Fourth throughout the country. There is still a great chance to extend this branch of the work, and an effort is being made to con: vince the schoo! children, not only of the danger of the firecracker, but of the pleasures to be derived from the new method of celebrating. Statistics show that in 1908 there were 5,623 casualties resulting from the efforts of Young America to cele- brate the national holiday. In 1912 this number had been re- duced to 988, but from these figures one can easily see that there is still much to be accomplished. Mrs. Rice has had the co-operation of the may- ors of many cities, who have put them- selves on record as opposed to any- thing but the same celebration. Since the crusade against unneces- sary noise was started in 1905 there has been an improvement of 85 per cent. in tugboat whistling on the river. It was then a personal matter, but as the Hudson 1s a federal waterway, Wil liam 8. Bennet, member of congress from New York, succeeded in having a bill passed on IKebruary 2, 1907, which regulated this unnecessary dis- turbance. Last year, through the rul- ing of the board of health, the noise of motor boats was also regulated. Associated with Mrs. Rice as an ad- visory board are William Dean How- ells, Nicholas Murray Butler, Cardinal Farley, Dr, W. H, Maxwell and others, while the board of directors Is made | up of various superintendents of hos pitals, MAY COPY ‘“ZONE” SYSTEM Canada Planning to Adopt Parcel Post ' Regulations Similar to Those of the Unitec States. . Ottawa, Ont.—A parcel poat plan- ned on the “zone” system similar to ! that in the United States is proposed | for Canada. Postmaster General Pel- letier announced recently that he would introduce the necessary legisla- tion in parliament soon. Since the inauguration of the system in the United States the Canadian postoffice ' department has handled great quanti- | ties of incoming parcel post matter | without receiving any benefit in re- turn. i Terriers Kill Wildcat. | Haywards, Cal.—In a death battle with three small terrior dogs a fifty- pound wildcat was killed on a ranch in the Valle Vista district. In the act of making a raid on chickens the cat was discovered by a rancher’s son and chased up a tree. He was dislodged with stones, and in the fight which fol- lowed one of the terriors was badly torn. | afterward. { |STORK IS FAR OUTCLASSED Doctor Offers Couple Board, Lodging and Unique Chance of Glory. Chicago.—Board, lodging, incidental expenses for fifteen months and the | glory ultimate of being the parents of the first perfect baby, endowed with the all-knowledge, is the offer of a Chi cago doctor, to any young couple who | will put themselves entirely in his charge for fifteen months. | Minerva, goddess of wisCom, says mythology, sprang full panoplied from the head of Jove. The little stranger the doctor wishes to superintend into the world will, he promises, arrive with perfectly formed mind and soul, and will inhabit this world forever and forever. He claims to have solved the rid- dle of eugenics. He says that given a normal man and wife he can, in fit- teen months, make them parents of & baby, which, at birth, will weigh fif- teen pounds and have teeth and eyes. Moreover, it will know all things ! and live forever. It will be devoid of , those temptations and faults to which the human race is heir. It, and lLs‘ kind, will inhabit the earth, and re- produce its kind (not its young, tor; there will be no young, in the sense of today) once about every 500 years. It will eschow meat and have a dis- taste for all that it should not eat. It will live on nuts, fruit and vegetables. ! He says that he will place $50,000 in any bank as a forfeit, that he can accomplish this result, but he must have perfectly normal people, educat- ed, and In a receptive mood. He de- clares that the result of his experi- ment will be to change the entire course of theosophy. He does not divulge his method, but says that he would go about it as & superarchitect would plan a wonderful and lasting edifice. He will lay out | the plans and -.specifications. The young couple who agree to the offer must put themselves entirely in his charge, and must not deviate from the rules and regulations he lays down for them. He has no fear of the out- come. The doctor is married, and | has no children. SWISS LAW AIDS MOTHERS Insurance Against Ilines» and Mater nity—Only Seven Per Cent. of Women Have Subscribed. Geneva.—The insurance of Swiss | women against illness and in view of maternity, as provided by the new fed- eral law—which measure is known in this country as the “pearl of the new ! code”—has reccived general approval | but so far only 7 per cent. of the Swiss | women have taken advantage of the law, which came into force two months ago. Sevc'al women's societles are therefore arranging and glving confer- | ences to nuke the law known, espe- | clally among the women of the work- ' ing classes. For a minimum yearly | subscription there is provided medi- | cal assistance, necessary repose, and | & daily allowance to women who are! expectant moihers or are ill. It {8 be. leved that with an active propaganda i the majority of Swiss women will, within a year, enjoy the benefits of the new code in this particular. CAT GIVES LIFE FOR KITTENS | Rector Tells Unusual Story of Felin§ Bravery—Entered Burning Building. Rome.—This story of the devotion of a cat to her kittens is vouched for | by the rector of San Juan Letran, Three kittens were trapped in a burning house. The mother went to the first floor, took up one of the kit tens with her mouth and carrfed it outside to a place of safety. She re- turned and fetched a second kitten and then went for the third, though: the staircase had begun to burn, ! The flames spread, so the cat, still | holding the kitten, went to a window and jumped to the street below.

STEVENS. ——————— «Yessir, we've been bridgin’ the bloody e!;um today.” Flushed with the conviviality of the Blue and Gray fraternization, & stranger dropped thumpingly into a chair at my table in the Monticello cafe. { “Stigging’ my name, I'm "c 'mander of Winslow post up state, he re- sumed, engagingly, “last time I was down here to Norfolk I helped in the fust bridgin’ of the chasm on record, that's why I come all the way to this.” My polite look of in- quiry opened the flood gates wide, and the story flowed ripplingly. “Well, sir, I enlisted : November, '64, gets my bounty and calls myself Jones. Then right off the cap’n of our comp’ny was pickin’ on me all the time. I stood it patient till one day, while I was settin’ under a tree on picket duty, he come by. Then 1 gets up easy an’ give him a socker on the jaw. He didn't wake up for two hours.” Mr. Stiggins paused to ring for an- other high ball. The place was de- serted except for a lanky fellow in a | broad felt hat whom I noticed bending ! over the hotel register an hour be- }fore. and who now seated himself at ! the adjoining table with his paper and cigar. . “Well, they jugged me for six months, and that prison was where we bridged the chasm, like I said. It was an old stone warehouse made over, an’ chock full. The room I was in—'bout ten by twenty—held four Yankees an’ six rebs, with a guard at the door. *Twa’'n’t long before we got real friendly, an’' right off we begun layin’ plans for escape. We all want- ed to git out, an’ that was what Car roty called our bond of union. Car- roty—we called him that because he had flannel-shirt hair—was a real smart Johnny Reb from a South Caro- lina regiment sent up with the other prisoners from Roanoke. He was a spy and he was crazy to git out; uster talk looney 'bout his wile an’ kids. “Now, he'd smuggled in a little Sheffleld knife, an' when he found that in the scuffle of gitting me in they'd left my jack knife, he almost whooped. I give it to him an’ he took it off in a corner. Then, settin’ my blade against his blade, he pounded | with a loose brick till he'd saw-edged his’n. Next he saws on the iron bar in the window. It took four days to git through, an’ while he sawed he had us all round him singin’ to cover the squeakin,’ the Rebs whoopin’ Bonnie Blue Flag an’ we four yellin’ Red, White an’ Blue. The day guard was a Dutchman, an’ the noise give him such fits he kep’ as fur from the door as he dared an’ plugged his ears. “Now, 1 was the strongest in the bunch by a whole lot, an’ when Car- roty gone clean through he says, ‘Stig- gins’—he foun’ Jones wa'n't my real name—Stiging, we need your hiceps on that bar, an’ only one man can git a holt to once. The next cloudy night, when the guard walks up the corridor, you bend the bar out, and as I'm the only death sentence here, I'll skip out first; then you pull it back £0'8 you can hang a coat over it when he comes past again.
