ROOM THAT is S0UND-PRooF
Remarkable Chamber at University Of
Utrecht That Was Constructed
for Scientific Experiments.

The Physiological institute OF the
University of Utrecht possesses one Of
the most remarkable rooms in the
world, a chamber about seven and a
half feet square, which is said to be
absolutely noiscless, as far as the
entrance of sounds from outside is con.
cerned.
This room is situated on the top
story Of laboratory building, and is
an inside room, but so arranged that
1t can be ventilated and inundated
with sunshine The walls, floors and
ceiling each consist OF half dozen
layers Of different substances, with air
spaces and interstices filed with
sound-deadening materials

made to exclude sounds that are not
wanted. Of course the object of con-

experiment with phenomena connected
with sound Some of the sounds EN-.

others are introduced from outside by
means Of a copper tube, which is

The uss Of Lace.

Lace is. Of course. the natural trim
ming for light washable fabrics, but
here, too. discrimination must be
used. A safe rule to follow is this
Patterns and mesh increase In size
as materials grow heavier, and be-
come smaller and finer as materials
grow lighter n we keep this simple
rule in mind. # will help to steer Us
around many pitfalls. Like all other
rules, It has fits exceptions, for occa-
sionally contrast is sought between
the consistency Of a fabric and the
lace that trims 1t. But contrasts are
hcklish enterprises unless one is very
skillful. and harmonies OF relationship
meet with more general success. A
simple and sure way to test the cor
rectness Of your trimming In lace as
well as other materials is 10 observe
whether details Of your gown are con
spicuous at greater distance than

A RAPIDLY GROWING
WESTERN INDUSTRY

From a recent issue of the Ogden
Standard we note quite an extended
account of the Sidney Stevens I'M
plement Co.'S vehicle factory, which
has come to be one of the many
prominent manufacturing establish
ments of the Junction City. The
Company makes speciality of sheep
wagons, of their own design, the
popularity of which has become SO
great that Salt Lake firm recently
placed an order for SO of them.
The wagons are also rapidly coming
into use throughout southern Idaho
and Manager Walter Stevens of the
Montpelier branch of this company
informs us that number of Bear
Lake sheep men have ordered these
wagons for spring delivery.
A representative of the Ogden
Standard, who was shown through
the factory, thus tells of what he
saw:
"Eirst, Mr.. Stevens showed us a
series of completed vehicles vary
ing in style from light grocery
delivery through line of heavy
wagons, sanitary wagons common
ly used here, cab body laundry
wagons, special bakery wagons,
sanitay milk delivery wagons,
school vans and many other modern
vehicles which surpass anything of
the kind imported. From these
goods Mr.. Stevens took our repre-
sentative through their factory
which Is fully equipped with mod
ern power operated machinery,
showing him the raw material as
shipped from the mills and the pro-
cess it passes through before it is
ready for the trade and the factory
in which it is converted into mar
keting vehicles, explaining the pur-
pose of each machine and emphat-
ieally stating that no inferior ma
teriol IS allowed to go into these
homemade goods.
tMr. Stevens stated that when
they built their factory, they de-
termined to turn out good goods,
or none and as q result there has
not been day since then that the
plant has not been full of work and
scarcely time left to over haul the

new BISHOPRIC IN
BENNINGTON WARD

AT the Ward conference in BEN
nington last Sunday, Silas Wright,
Jr., was sustained as bishop, sue.
ceeding his grandfather, A. R.
Wright, who has presided as Bis
hop of that ward for the past 36
years. Jerrod Parker was chosen
as first councillor and VIM Perkina
as second councillor. The new bis
hopric are all yonng men and are
active workers in the church( Bis
hop Wright, who has been called
to preside over the ward, has been
bishop of the Cokeville ward for
the past two years.
The retirement Of Bishops Austin
from Liberty ward and A. r.
Wright from Bennington, relieves
from active duty two of the oldest
bishops in the stake. Bishop Aus
tin presided over Liberty ward for
IA years, instead of 34 as stated
last week. When called to preside
of that ward on the 7th day of De-
cember 1866, it included all the
territory now comprised in the
Sharon and I4anark wards and his
''fock" did not number as many as
are now i'll the Liberty ward.
Bishop Wright, who retires after
more than a third of a century of
active work, like Bishop Austin, Is
one of the pioneers of this valley.
He represented this county IN the
territorial legislature in the early
days, and has always been q faith
full worker in the upbuIlding of the
church.
Bishops Austin and Wright lay
aside their clerical robes, with the
knowledge that they are held in the
highest esteem, not only by the
presidency of the stake, but every
member of their respective wards.
