umph, which one may see on a man when
he has broken the ice to take his morning
plunge. But there are difficulties 10 over

The outward appearance of this in

that of a photograph. The record of
sound, however, is made not upon
wax-coated cylinder but upon a sensi-
tized film. This is done by first set

able charged circuit and then trans
forming these electric vibrations into
light vibrations, the intensity of which
are varied in accordance with the
original sounds.
These variable light vibrations arr
transmitted to a movable sensitive
film so as to produce an image which,
when developed properly, appears as a
line varying in density and, of course,

amplifier, by which the sound waves
produced by the receiving diaphragm
are so amplified that they may be
heard at a considerable distance.
1t can be seen readily how this new
conical recorder worked synchromatic-
ally with the camera used for taking
moving pictures could be made to pro-

scene; the turmoil of a chase. the

make moving pictures give forth the
sounds of the original scenes.
The new invention is an important
development of what is one of the
most interesting of modern scientific
amusements.

In response to numerous letters

were made, and it now begins to looh
as If the proposed league will be
formed. Manager Pierce is firmly
convinced that such a league would
be a success from not only a finan-
cial but sporting point of view. To
the Tribune the said this morning:
with 10 or ~ teams in the league
the element OF uncertainty would al

entire season for any one team to
get around to play another team a
second time. Therefore. II 1t so hap
pens that Pocatello, for instance, has
the strongest team in the league, that
would by no means mean she would

weaker team might win enough
games from still weaker teams to

All the power of the Chicago Wonan's Club IS
behind the movement. The origin OF the IDEA -
credited to the University Guild Of Northwestern
an organization contosed of ''co-eds" and others
in Northwestern and residents Of the town OF
Evanston Back Of the idea, however, lies criti-
cisn by Miss Skinner, of Boston, who spoke before
the guild short time ago and proclaimed that the
"co-eds'' at Northwestern and the University Of
Chicago dressed like harlequins. This made the
four thousand young at the two institu-
tions very angry. Nevertheless when the Univer-
sity Guild and the Chicago Womans Club began
negotiations with view to making such a criti-
cism impossible in future the majority indorsed
the plans.
The guild. therefore. has arranged to support the
chair Of art appreciation in Northwestern for
year. IF at the end of that time the results
promise what is expected the university is to as
sumo the burden OF the chair and make it per
manent institution.
The course is to include laboratory training in
the selection and purchase OF materials. study of
the harmony of colors and emphasis of the pIin-
ciple that extravaganza in price does not neces-
sarily imply art in gowns house furnishings.
