DUST CLOUDS AID SCOUTS
Disclose Whether Marchers Are In
fantry, Cavalry or Artillery.
An army on the march along dry roads
naturally throws up very heavy dust
clouds. To those who haven't been
trained one duift cloud looks very much
tlko another, but to a soldier these dust
clouds tell a Very clear story.
The dust thrown up by Infantry, for
example, hangs In a low thick cloud, Tho
longer the cloud the more the men under
neath It, and a scout can, by this means,
make a fairly accurate guess of tho Inlni
ber of men on the march.
Cavalry on the march send up a dust
cloud that li much higher and thinner
than that of- Infantry. The most dts'
tthctlvc of these duit clouds, lion ever,
Is that made by nngoitq and "heavy guns.

CO AIM LITERS READY
TO FIGHT INCREASE
Coutlnurd from I'urp One
honorable body at a time which may
be considered by jou dcslraule.
Two organizations of the Now Jersey
commuters, in addition to appealing to
the New Jersey Public Utilities Com
mission, havo carried their complaint
directly to Governor Fielder, nsklug him
to call a. special sqsslon of the LcglBla-.
turo to take some prompt action ngalnst
the courso proposed by tho railroads.
The petition from the United Towns'
Association of South Jersey and the
South Jersey CommuteiB' Association,
which requested Governor Fielder to call
a special session of the New Jersey Leg
islature, set forth that the growth and
prosperity of the entire Stato are en
dangered by the proposed advance mid
tho cancellation of certain forms of ctmi
mutntlon tickets.
William Caioy Marshall, of Camden,
counsel, for tho commuters, went to tho
State House ostcrday Intending to make
a personal appeal, but falling to find
tho Governor he sent the petition Instead.
The petition points out that the increase
In rates was announced In the face of tho
largest earnings In the history of the
railroads with tho exception of one year
and at a time when they are paying divi
dends larger than for many jenrs
The Pennslvnnla Railroad Company,
which leases tho United Railroads of New
Jersey, tho petition states, now pays
stockholders of (he latter company an
annual dividend of 10 per cont,
Tho petition further asks that the At
torney General of tho State take such
action In the Federal and State courts as
will safeguard tho Interests of the citi
zens. The Governor is requested to see
that tho State hn.3 counsed to represent
it before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington. ,
Doubt was expressed In Trenton this
morning as to the probability of Gover
nor Fielder's agreeing to call a special
session of the Legislature, as It Is Re
lieved by many that the Public Utilities
Commission has ample power to act In
the matter. It was pointed out, how
ever, that neither the Legislature nor the
Public Utilities Commission has any con
trol over. Interstate trnfllc, and from the
protests of the commuters this seems to
be what is at Issue.
It was said by several around the Stato
House at Trenton that the railroads, In
ther proposition to Increase the pas
senger fares, expect a general protest
and by backing down apparently In the
face of aroused public sentiment they
will luue more chance tpi work through
an Increase In the freight rates east of
Pittsburgh, which will mean more to them
than the Increase in passenger fares.
Edward 1). Mnriln, chairman of the
Transportation Committee of the United
Business Men's Association, last night,
acting on behalf of the Northwest Busi
ness Mon's Association, wrote to the sec
retary of tho. Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington requesting the
commission to furnish the records of the
testimony taken last summer In the rail
road henrlngs and to appoint special
counsel to act on behalf of the petitioners
before the Public Service Cpmmlsslon of
Pennsjlvanla.
Should either or both of these requests
be granted It Is the plan of the Business
Men's Association to Invite all protesting
organizations to unite In a concerted fight
against tho Increase. ,
The Ntfrth Front Street Business Men's
Association, at a meeting at Front and
Clearfield streets, adopted a resolution
condemning the "unjust Increase In pas
senger rates." Edward H. Weber, who
presided at the meeting, said while the
railrpnds were refuse a 5 per qenf.
freight Increase, the passenger Increase
which they are now seeking la many
times 5 per cent.
Charles F. Mehus, of Glenslder vice
prerldent of the Ablngton Townshlfi
Board of Commissioners and acting chief
executive of that body since tho death of
Charles O. Kruger, characterized the int
grease as "an outrage pure and simple,
which will hurt the suburban sections
from the real estate and eyery other
business viewpoint."
A mass-meetlng will be held in Pitman.
N. J., tonight at which It is hoped to havo
00 persons present who use the railroad
suburban service dally. A meeting Is also
being arranged for the near future to be
held in Camden when representatives,
from all the protesting towns In South
Jersey will be Invited.
James V. Ellison, president of the
Wynnewood civic Association, has is,
sued a call for a meeting of that body
tn be held tomorrow night at the
Wynnewood Tennis Club. Mr, Ellison
has prepared an. analysis of the changes
in the rates In all classes of tickets.

CHAMPION OF QUIET
URGES REPRESSION
OF STREET CLAMOR
Philadelphia's Record for
Unnecessary Noise Draw
back to City, Says Civic
Committee's Chairman.
Philadelphia hnB more unnecessary
noises than any other city, according to
Mrs. Imogen Oakley, chairman of the
Civic Club's Committee on Noise.
The racket In this city, she amrms, Is
of a character which Impairs health and
decreases the efllclency of the peoplo by
disturbing their pence and rest, especially
In Ihe poorer districts. There Is a crying
nerd of municipal legislation to prevent
useless noises In Philadelphia, according
to Mrs. Oakley.
"Philadelphia Is far behind nearly every
Important city In Its laws to suppress
unnecessary noises," she said today.
"Excepting our quiet zones near hospi
tals and common schools, we have done
nothing to suppress the noises Incidental
to the flat-wheeled trolley, the clanging
advertising bell, tho shrill yell of the
street peddler and the discordant strains
of untuned Instruments playing ragtime
off pitch.
"Industrial conditions are making It nec
essary for constantly Increasing numbers
of persons to do their work at night.
Not long ago I was asked by some resi
dents of the slums to help them to quiet
their neighborhood. They complained
that they were bothered by unnecessary
noises from 4 n. m. to midnight.
"It Is Interesting to note that the com
plaints against the noises do not come
from residential districts where the com
plaints might be one to nertousness and
hysteria, but frpm the poor, who must
have quiet to rest.
"The street organ, apparently. Is tho
most objectlonnblo of the noises. Asser
tion Is made that the orgnn exists to pro
vide amusoment for children. It seems to
me the children could do much better
cared" for on playgrounds prolded by the
cltv than dancing to tho tune of hurdy
gurdies. I am sure children In cities,
whero the street organ Is prohibited by
law, are as happy as children here."
Mrs. Oakley said jthero la a common law
against nuisance which can be evoked In
extreme cases, but only at an expendi
ture of time nnd money impossible for
the poor. Her aim Is to obtain the en
actment hero of an ordinance for pre
ventlno of useless noises similar to those
In St Louis. New York. Washington, Bos
ton, Buffalo, Norrlstown, Detroit and
Cleveland. Thus will the parrot, the dog
or the talking machine, as well as the
bells and whistles used for advertising
purposes, be stilled and the voice of the
street vender bo no more. The automatic
piano Is likewise placed under the( ban of
useless noises. r
"Medical authorities are well agreed,"
continued Mrs. Oakley, "that noise Is a
contributing cause in many diseases and
retards convalescence In every disease.
Doctor Blake, pf Boston, tho greatest
aurlst In the country, says when we rid
ourselves of so much noise the percentage
of ear trouble will drop. The ear must
have a certain amount of rest that It can
not get with so much unnecessary noise."
There Is no sense of our being disturbed
at every hour of the day by the nerve-racing-
shouts of "Ice!" and "Strawber
ries 1" according to Mrs, Oakley, and the
city should take steps to end the nui
sance. The hospitals are greatly In favor of
the work being done to suppress useless
noises, and say the zones of quiet hqve
been valuable. factors In expediting the re
covery of patients. The Jefferson and the
1 toward Hospitals nave been bothered
with the noises more than the average
hospital, end the Civic Club has them un
der special consideration at the prevt
time.
It la believed by many champions of a
quiet city that the local option plan In
force In London would fit In well here
When the Londoner takes exception to
the noises of the street, he hangs out a

LARGE ARMORY MAY BE
USED IN CHRISTMAS RUSH
Postal Authorities Finn to Avoid.
Congestion This Year.
One of the large armories near tho cen
tre of the city probably will bo rented by
the postal authorities for uso ns a mnll
depoilting Htnllon during tho Christmas
rush. Sccral buildings In tho centre of
tho city are said to bo under considera
tion, but It is thought one or the armories
will be decided on because of the great
amount of spaces aallnblc. It will bo
necessary to take over a building outsldo
of the Post Ofllce since the new parcel
post station now being constructed n 2Id
and Market streets will, In all probability,
not be completed tn time for use during
tho Christmas rush.
Preparations are well under wny for tho
handling of the mnll during the Christ
mas period It is said that the great
delay and congestion experienced last
icar will entirely be done away with.
To facilitate handling It was announced
that extra motor trucks would be used
to tnko tho mall from one district posl
omcc directly to another Heretofore the
mall has been brought to the central sta
tion from a substation nnd from there
delivered to another. ThN caused a tre
mendous congestion nt the central sta
tion. In order to do away with this plans
were formulated to transport city mall
directly from the station of mailing to
thnt of delivery.
Alterations In tho postofllce building at
Ninth and Market streets are nlao con
templated which will add to the efllclency
for handling the rush of malt. Additional
floor space Is planned Tho platform for
loading tho trucks and wagons In the
rear of tho building also will be enlarged.
The last few dajs more than n hundred
additional carriers and clerks have been
taken on The approaching season neces
sitated this as well ns the steady In
crease of the business of the postofllce in
all its branches.

NIchol would carry tho fight to tho Vnrea
and attempt to relegato them to the po
sition of ward leaders If the downtown
leaders showed any signs of being inde.
pendent
The action of the Vares wan taken m
the face of general orders from tho Mo
Nlchol camp that every section of the city
Join In forming one marching club for the .
parade.
'Ihe decision of tho downtown Icadora)
to assert their Independence Immediately
and uphold the traditions of the Itepub
llcans In the southern section of Philadel
phia, by sending a separate innrchlnK
club to the Governor's Inauguration, was
reached at a conference of the Varea
with the leaders of the eight South Phil
adelphia wards held In Senator "Vare's)
office.
The following officers were elected for"
the club: President. Representative Wil
liam S. Vare, Kth Ward: vice president.
(Harry S. Bansloy, 2d Ward; secretary,
Harry J. Trainer, 3d Ward! assistant sec
retary, William E. Flnley, Mth Ward:
treasurer, Frank J. Ryan, 36th Ward; ex
ecutive committee, Senator Edwin If...
Vare. 33th Ward, chairman: William H.
Wilson, ISth Ward: Robert J. Moore. 4th
Ward; Fred W. Wlllard. 26th Ward; Wil
liam McCOach, 30th Ward, and George- K.
Hogg. 1st Ward.
About 400 men, in high hats, black, coat,
blaqk and white striped trousers and
white spats, will march behind the Vare
standard. The name of the club was not
selected, but It will probably be known a'
the Martin G. Brumbaugh Marching
Club.
Following the refusal of the Vares to
Join them In tho plans for tho InAugura-.
tlon, the Penrose apd McNIchol forces to
day are proceeding with their plans to
organize a, marching club of the Repub-f
lienns outside of South Philadelphia. The.
Penrose and McNIchol club will "have
City Chairman David II. Lane as
marshal, and will be called the Boles
Penrose Marching Club.
"Democratic hard times' will affect tho
Inaugural parade. For the first tme In
20 years David H. Lane will not lead,
out the Republican workers In his home
ward, the 20th, to march- as a unit In
tho procession of Republicans who will
take part in that feature of the Inaugura
tion. When he made this announcement today
Mr. Lane'-sald that it cost each man who
marches in the parade about (33 or rail
road faro, board nnd room, a uniform,
and Incidental expenses. During the pres
ent business depression, he said, he could
not get enough men together who could
afford to make the trip, and it would
cost one man too largo a sum to take
to Harrisburg a marching club that would
be large enough to make a good showing
In the parade.
The speakership of the next House was
discussed only in a general way at a
short conference between Senator Vare
and Mr. Lane yesterday. Senators Pen
rose and McNIchol were out of the city.
Further conferences on the subject -will
await their return.
Organization lieutenants today reassert
ed that William H. Wilson, the Vara
candidate for Speaker, would have the
Penrose and McNIchol support, and that
only a formal Indorsement was lacking.
