Doctors agree that the health of the nation is being seriously impaired. Three-fourths of the population of Great Britain: live in towns and cities.

One of the pioneers of the move ment to suppress unnecessary, noist, Professor Henry J. Spooner, has estimated that the aggregate economic loss to this country, "dae to the impairment of working capa .city by noise is more than £1,000,000 a week. He explains that strident and deafening noise shocks the auditory nerves and prodaces fatigue, which in turn diminishes the capacity for work to a greater extent than severe muscular exer.
