There are many famous deposlz
OF such sands known in various
parts OF the world. Thoge OF tba
peninsula Of Sinai are particularly
celebrated. on account, perhaps, O.
the sacred recollections with which
that strange region is associated,
Humboldt found musical rocks in
the valley of the Orinoco, which
gave out concordant sounds at SUM-
rise, due, no doubt, to internal
strains and vibrations caused by
the heat. Similar rocks have been
noticed by travellers in Arabia Pes
ira, and it has been suggested that
the famous statue Of the musical
Memnon, on the banks Of the Mis-,
which was said to sing at sunrise,
consisted OF stone whose particles
were set into vibration by the acs
tion OF the sunlight.
Musical beaches have been found
on both the Atlantic and the Pa
ciflc coasts. and they are known
also at interior points as on the
Wisconsin river, near Ktlbourn City
and on the shore of the Mississippi
opposite Carondelet.
Hawaii Barking Sands"
On the southwest coast of Hawaii
there is a deposit Of barking
sands" which initiate. more or less
closely, the barking of dogs.
When the sands are wet the mu-
steal tone is lost and they emit only
a squeaking noise. NotWthstand-
ing the experiments Of Mr.. Carus-
Wilson some maintain the hypoJh-
esis that the sounds are due to in
ternal oscillations in the body Of
sand. whose particles are KEEP.
asunder by cushions Of included
air. which is set in vibration by the
movement of the sand.

KIT HAVE been reading" says a
correspondent, "of the sound
Of drums and trumpets ris-
ing out of sea-beach on the coast
Of Cornwall, when it is walked on.
Is this fact, or bait for gulls?"
1 have read of that wonderful
beach myself, in some scientific
journal, and 1 believe that what is
told of it is mainly fact, because
similar phenomena are known to
exist in many parts of the world,
and their cause has been disclosed.
These strange sounds, as weird as
the notes of an aeolian harp, are
sometimes heard on steep hillsidess
where slides Of loose sand, set in
motion by the wind, or by the jar
of footstep, trickle down the
slope. The effect has been com-
pared to a chorus Of high-strung
voices, suddenly breaking on the
ear, with prolonged resonance.
More frequently, however, they
are audible on sandy beaches, and
occasionally they are so loud, and
the musical tones are SO harmo-
NOUS and beautiful, that the hear~
err stares about him in wonderment
and feels his nerves tingle at the
suggestion of his imagination that
invisible musicians are playing in
the air about him.
Mystery Is Increased.
The sense OF mystery IS height
ened by the fact that the Ginning
sounds do not, at first appear to
come from the ground, but to be
born out of the surrounding at
mosphere. When they are loud
and multiply in tone it requires but
little aid from the fancy to recos-
nize in them the various instru-

perfect time, but with an express
sion that seems more ethereal than
human.
Such phenomena are due to
musical sands" and they have
been scientifically investigated and
explained. No doubt they are re-
sponsible for many of the old SUI
perstitions about fairies, and about
aerial tongues which Syllable
mems names"
All sands are not musical. Music
is regulated noise, and in order
that moving sand shall produce
harmonious notes, as its particles
slide over one another, it is neces-
sary that the particles shall be
smoothly rounded, equal in size
and composed of a sonorous sub
stance, like flint or quartz.
Mr.. Cecil Carus-Wilson, in Eng
land, has devoted special attention
to the phenomena of musical sands,
and has even been able to produce
them artificially. He has found
that q coarse sand, composed of
irregular, angular particles. pro-

J JUDGE POWELL
URGES HIGHER
LAW ETHICS
Jurist, Addressing Students, Says
Many an innocent Man Is
TriCked Into Conviction.

Scouting the idea that AL lawyers
are liars and declaring it is seldom
that a member Of the bar is half as
dishonest as his client, Judge Arthur
6. Powell, late Of the Court Of APP
peals, made plea at the opening of
the Atlanta Law School for higher
standard Of ethics in the legal pro
fession.
Nearly a hundred young men just
entering the law school, a. well as a
large number Of last years graduates,
heard Judge Powell, who was intro
duced as the only man who has been
given an honorary degree by The At
ianta Law School Dean Hamilton
presided at The exercises.
Judge Powell outlined the maxims
which might be adopted with profit
by young lawyers.
Preserve Your deals and retain
your seil-respect." he said. IF you're
cut for making money then stay out

vIctiOn always that YOU are IN the
right, when you get into case which

matter how attractive a woman may
be, don't let her inveigle you into
taking "A case which is unworthy OF
the profession.
81 have seen a mans honest testi-
muny completely turned around by
the questions fired at him 10y an at
torney,' continued Judge Powell, and
by the tricks Of INSCRIPTIONS law
yers evidence has time and again
been put into such false light that
the public as we'll as the Jury has
been brought to believe a man guilty
when he really is innocent.
But if YOU get into the profession
with the inspiration in your heart
for the nobility Of your calling YOU
Will find a rare opportunity FOR serv-
ice and success. In the first place
no man stands higher in any com
munity than the successful, straight
forward lawyer, secondly, no other
work offers such opportunity for
service To humanity in general; and
third, no other profession offers such
an incentive for the development of

STAGING AND
MANAGING AN
AUTOMOBILE SHOW
(By Merle L. Downs0

Staging an automobile show is a
considerably heavier undertaking
than the average person imagines.
Scarcely has one annual show finished
than the work the next one starts.
About July of each year we plan
what the decorations for each build
ing are to be and engage the artists
and decorators and contract with the
carpenters, electricians, iron work
ers and all sorts of skilled labor. Us
ually the artists who are to do the
decorative features travel either in
this country or Europe in search of
new ideas and color schemes to work
out in their mural paintings and
decorative pieces.
This season the show committee of
the Automobile Board of Trade has
great double show on its hands. The
Grand Central PALACE and Madison
Square Garden are to be used sim
u1taneously-a pleasure car show in
each the first week, beginning Janu-
airy IL, and a commercial vehicle ex-
position the following week. Hence
this season we had to plan decora-
tons for two great buildings instead
of only one. At each of the last two
autom obile shows in Madison Square
Garden the interior of the build
was entirely reconstructed with huge
galleries on temporary steel Orders.
Concrete bases were sunk in the Gel
lar to support the steel pillars. These
balconies which were disassemb1ed
hmm edtately after the show closed
will be used again this year in the
Garden and I might add that it is
something of a feat of engineering to
build this network of steel clothed
with floor boards and decorations and
have it ready to support several hun
dred cars all within the few days
permitted before the show opens.
OF course at the Palace the work
is not so heavy, fnasmuch as the ex-
hibition floors and galleries there are
permanent, but there are ten-thous-
and and more details which the show
committee has to consider and adjust,
making arrangements for each build
ing SO that there will be no conflict
ing, means an immense amount of
work for a large staff.
In the early days it was necessary
to solicit manufacturers and urge
them to enter the National Autonlo-
bile Show. Of recent years, the diff
ficuIty has not been in this respect.
Where the trouble has come is in dis
tributing space SO that the majority
of those who would like to exhibit at
the shows can get in.
While one might assume that with
two great buildings of the size of the
Garden and Palace with more than
100000 square feet of floor space for
exhi biting purposes, the manage1nen t
would have no difficulty in finding
room for all and yet this is by no
means the case. All told, there are
more than 500 exhibitors of cars, parts
and accessories-a display which rep
resents every angle of the@automobile
industry.
Months before the show opens the
exhib itors of complete cars members
of the Automobile Board of Trade
and National Association of Autom O.

hibition space. The makers having

FIGHT STARTS TO
END CHILD SLAVERY
IN THE CANNERIES

Albany, Jan. 1o.-The fight to END
for all time child slavery in the can
nerfes of New York state began yes
terday. State Senator Robert E. Wag-
ner, president protein of the upper
House and Tammany leader, intro
duced the bill which prohibits the
employment of children in the can
neries. The measure is the direct
result of the recent exposures of the
manner in which babies hardly out
of arms have been exploited and fol-
lowed the Investigations of the 1egfs-
lative committee that during the sum-
mer investigated working conditions
for women and children.
This bill, if it is enacted Into law,
and [ shall exert every effort to bring
it's irnrn ediate passage, will do away
with two great evils, the employ
ment of young children in the can
merry sheds and the employment of
young children in tenement houses at
factory work. said Wagner. The
child is the most precious asset that
the state has and the policy of this
state would be shorts1ghted indeed if
it would permit the lives of its young
children to be bIighted, their health
ruined and their growth stunted by
such employment

Chairman Underwood, of the ways and
means committee, is attempting to
enforce at the present hearings on the
