Solution to noise pollution By LAURA CONRADT While spending a couple of nights in a motel recently, I found my ears subjected to some of the loudest pollution imaginable! Thi particular motel happened to on a corner, where there wa a four-way traffic light at intersection. Plus four-lani traffic east and west.

I couldn't believe the numbe: of vehicles that traveled tha route. The cars, alone, were bad enough. Sounded as if they were driving right through the middle of my head. In one ear, anc right on out through the 'other "side. And of course there were trucks, vans, campers, even couple of fire trucks during one of the nights.

But in spite of their racket, nothing quite compared to the most aggressive of all. Those motorcycles. First, pulling up to the stop. And then that sudden vr-robm, vr-room, arr- rrr as they took off again. Sleep-shattering, to say the least! If there had been just a few, maybe I wouldn't have found them so But they seemed to come along at least every five minutes.

And they traveled alone. Always in a small troop banded together. I swear, every tenth citizen in that city must own a motorcycle. And chose those two nights to drive them down that street. It was a beautiful motel, all sorts of luxury and comfort away from home.

Color TV, your own, private supply of coffee. Everything. But sleep, I could not. And while I lay there not deeping, I began thinking about an article I read not long ago. About bicycles.

They're making a big come-back. Or did you know? The month of May has even received the honor of being selected as American Bike' Month. And of course, spring is the ideal tame to get on a two-wheeler and go for a spin. So I lay there thinking how much quieter it would be outside my motel room on that same street if every vehicle were a bicycle instead. Can you imagine the difference? One hundred bicycles riding ten abreast wouldn't make one tenth the noise of one motorcycle.

Or even half a motorcycle, if there were such a thing. In fact, the longer I lay there thinking about bicycles, the more I was in favor of American Bike Month. And promoting transportation via bicycle. I'm likely to become one of its greatest boosters. Maybe we'll even become a four-bicycle family.

In one article I read, a woman in Omaha who deals in bikes, said she normally sold a carload of bicycles a year. But during the first month of 1972, she had already sold a carload. At that rate, there should soon be a mass of bikes on the road. Along with this rise in bicycle traffic, there will also have to be a safety promotion program. Which, I understand, is already in effect in many areas.

Bicycling is good, healthy exercise. But above all, I'm still concentrating on how much quieter they are. Ah me. What a relief'to get a good night's sleep again. But what do you suppose I heard, that first night home again? Right.

A motorcycle, Vr-room, vr-room, arrr-rrr. Do you reckon one of those noisy things followed me all th3 way home? RELAX! After a hard day on the job, it'll take only a half-hour to get dressed for your big evening. Take a quick shower or bath, put a few rollers in your hair, then lie down with legs propped up and relax. Cover eyes with cold tea bags and unwind from a tedious day. After 20 minutes, splash cold water or skin teshener on your face, change your clothes, apply your makeup and you're ready to go.

Lippincott. A great artist enjoys through his creations a sort of immortality denied in large measure to men of action, however important. The exislting works are there for each generation to rediscover. This gives biographers of artists literary, pictorial, plastic, or whatever opportunity for new interpretations. Henry James certainly was a great writer, by almost any fair critic's standards.

And Leon Edel has proved himself a first- rate biographer of a subtle and often elusive personality, bringing out now the fifth and final volume of hi study. James never was everybody's dish. The very qualities which make him almost unique for his time his complicated if poetic flowing style, his subleties of psychological interpretations limit the audience for his fine novels, essays, perceptive travel Sun Want Ads Bring Results Business and Professional Women to host fall board meeting The Beatrice Business and Professional Women's Club met at Holiday House April 25 with Mrs. Cleo Camp acting as hostess.

L. Mencken, whose tastes ran to the more direct and earthy, once called James "that delicate tuberose. Edel's long and patient study shows the superficiality of such a judgment. Once you have become used to James' sensitive and really beautiful style, you realize he was penetrating, honest, and heroically un- commercial. Paradoxically, James has been somewhat in vogue recency in an area where he had failed personally, the theater.

Some of his finest stories and novels have been turned, by others, into successful plays for both stage and television: "Washington Square," "The Turn Of the Screw," "The Wings of the Dove," ton." Edel would have done well avoid the practice of so many current biographers who follow modern psychology too zealously, reading homosexual thoughts into personalities who were not in fact deviates. Certainly James was fond some young and promising men but he also was devoted to young women; for instance, his niece, Peggy, the daughter his philosopher brother William Jaimes. Ronald C.

You'd like to have a but you live in an apartment or a mobile home, and you think you don't have a place for one. (Or you have so much space, you're afraid to start!) If you have a windowsill, a balcony, Or a doorstop you have enough space for a minigarden. What can you grow in a minigarden? Beets, carrots, and radishes. Tomatoes and green peppers and onions. Chives, parsley, and lettuce.

Nearly anything that grows in a garden can be "containerized" to produce green, growing, good- tasting vegetables for your family. Containers: Use clay or plastic pots, old pails, plastic buckets or garbage cans, a bushel basket, or a wooden box. Just find tilings small enough to fit your space but large enough to hold full grown plants. Radishes, onions, and Tiny Tim tomatoes will grow in 10-inch pots. Five-gallon trash cans will hold larger plants.

If you use solid plastic containers, punch several small holes along the sides, an inch from the bottom, to allow for drainage. Put inch of coarse gravel on the bottom of all containers for better drainage. Soil: Buy "synthetic" soil, a mixture of vermiculite, peat moss, and fertilizer. It's free of slant diseases and weed seeds, iolds moisture and nutrients, and is- light in weight. Seeds: Use fresh, new seed.

Seed envelopes are stamped with the year they should be planted. Select miniature varieties when possible. When 'ou plan "what can go where," remember tomatoes and rappers need full sunlight, root vegetables need less sun. Leafy vegetables can stand some hade. Care: Apply a level teaspoon "5-10-1" fertilizer per square oot of soil about three after plants have reached the two-leaf stage and again every three weeks.

Mix it into the top half inch of soil and water thoroughly. Water plants when soil becomes dry one-eighth inch below the surface. Water often during dry, windy hot weather. Keep weeds pulled. Mrs.
