tinued today.
The morning session began with q busi-
ness meeting. during which officers for the
ensuing year were elected as follows

orado Springs. COL; secretary and treas
urer, Robert c. Myles. New York, re-elect-
ed. 1t was decided to have the next an
nual meeting at Pittsburg.
An interesting feature of the open ses-
sion was the reading of papers by DIR. H.
Holbrook Curtis of New York entitled
The Cure of Singers Nodules" and "A
Gouty Rhinolith.''
l. DIR. Curtis also showed instruments for
photographing the tones of the human
voice, and the photographs Of the chromatic
scale In sand taken from a tense rubber
membrane. Every note sounded gave a
tC
shape always Identical for the pitch sung.
The practical result claimed aside from de-
termining the geometry of the octave. was
an exact determination of correct tone
production, for when q tone was sung
without correct focus an incomplete picture
was the result.
