A generation ago, Miss Gotch said, most English poople would have been sunk in continual desprir by the weight of taxes, the continual decline of business and the many items of sufâ€" fering which the present industrial deâ€" pression has caused. This year, on the contrary, most of them are more cheerful than would be expected. The difference, Miss Gotch believes, may be traced largely to clothes.

A common misâ€" take regarding sound is exemplified by the common saying among fAsherâ€" men: ‘Don‘t talk or you‘ll scare the fish.‘ Investigation at the University of lllinois shows that this is not true and that it is a scientific fact that ‘sounds in air are almost perfectly reâ€" fected from the surface of water‘." RBright Colors in Clothes Brighten Everyâ€"Day Life "There is no true standard of noise, so an instrumcnt has been developed called a ‘sound =~nalyzer,‘ which acâ€" tually measures it. By means of this device, which is electrical, any maâ€" hine can vwe given a noise number, It takes the measure of the amplitude of the sound vibrations. The fundamentâ€" al principle is similar to that of the seismograph, The vibrations are reâ€" corded on pc er, making it possible to prove conclusively whether or not viâ€" brations have been eliminated after alâ€" terations hay s been effected "Another device utilizes a combinaâ€" on of the stroboscopic and seismoâ€" graph principles. Merely touching the instrument against the machine inâ€" stantly gives a diagnosis of its vibraâ€" tions. "When a necessary noise is made, it should be produce« economically," the report declares. Mr. Schaphorst says it it well known that steam whistles are noisy but not generally known that they are very inefficient, He tells of an investigaâ€" tion carried on at tha Naval Proving Grounds, Dahigren, Va. which deâ€" veloped that a twelveâ€"inch whistle may consume as much as 400 horsepower in making its blasts. The inquiry was made in connc:tion with efforts to develop an effective and efficient fog whistle,. It was found that a siren was much more efficient. "There is such a thing as a valuable noiseâ€"a noise which warns of danger, such as the automobile horn, the locoâ€" motive whistle and the bell on a fire engine," Mr. Schaphorst says. "Such noises are nee ssary. . The exhaust noise of a safety value, of a gasoline engine and of an automobile, however, is of no valu > and therefore should not be permitted. There are necessary unpreventable noises and noises that warn of danger which are certainly all right. But unnecessary, deafening, sickening noises are wrong."
