VALUE OF SILENCE: REST

BEFORE REDTAME.

[BY THE MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT OF "THE TIMES."]

There seems to be some danger of our losing the faculty of vest. The age of course, is restless. Most of us, from the moment we awake in the morning, begin to make haste. And even in thestants, which nee might be traversed in com- parative calm, attention must now be concentrated on the avoidatwe ai mishap.

Our offers vibrate and ratth as a con espaene of the wavy traff in the HEPALA. We rush horar again in aniy vehicles, erailed, often enough, with noisy people.

GET AWAY FROM VIBRATION.

The unrest, it will be notierd, is altnost entirely auditory-since vibration must he canted a stimulus of audition. This sense, in the modern world, is challenged and subject to stress as never before in human, bistory.

So much so indeed, that physicians And it ential in very many cases to get their "run down patients way to at least a measure of places where silence can be pitainel

Silence, in fact, is becoming one of the most important of modern medi

cines.

Every man at work in the city' should hear this in mind when planning his summer holiday even when looking! about for a place in which to spend oc [casional week-ruals. A noisy are shouki

TENSION WHICH WASTER ENERGY.

Again there must be an element of security if the silence is to help. It was Thomas Carlyle who said that the trouble. about a crowing cuck in the morning was not the crowing so much as the expect- tion of the next eruw.

That applies, multiplied a hindre! folt, to the impact of heavy vans on the high rols. The would-be sleeper knows that there will be another van soon and thes more to follow.

But we lack the fond's confidence, that the water will andeed reward our hopes. And this expectation of a continuity of noise and vibration is itself, exhalating.

Probably the trouble is now at its worst for it is not to be believed that every future generation will tolerate so excessive a strain. There will come new architecture and engineering which will restore some at least of the boon of silence and freedom from quake. Un fortunately we shall not live to see that day.

All that we can do to protect our selves is to escape as often and as long as possible.
