Bad acoustics, writes Jacob. Mazer
in the May Case and Comment, are
chiefly due to excessive reyerberation
and echoes, caused by. the sound
waves continuing in the room for sew
eral seconds after the source of sound
has ceased, Reverberation is closely
related to the generally known phe'
nomenon of echo.
For the listener to hear distinctly,
each syllable of the speaker must dis
appear almost entirely before the ar
rival of the next syllable: When the
reverberation, which is due to the re-
flecting power of the walls, ceiling
and other surfaces in room, continue
too long, it produces confusion and in
distinctness. A room may also be de-
fectiye on account of an insufficient

Urges Use Of Wheat Bran.

A well-known authority of dietetics
has recently taken to urging his pa
tients to indulge in quantities Of wheat
bran, which, he says. is one Of the best
regulators and builders in the whole
list OF foods. II is a mistake for per
sons to turn UP their noses at bran as
an article OF food because il is cheap.
II 1t we're put up in fancy boxes and
marked UP in price to a point where
it would be regarded as more or less
OF a luxury. there would be a great
deal more Of It consumed, for 1t has

Elrst arItI.h Mounted Police.

When the departure OF the Roman
legions from Britain, as Teunyson tells
us. left men to do about as they
pleased in the absence OF any ade-
quite government. the roads were
filled with robbers. and everywhere
outside Of walled towns men generally
adopted the robbers simple plan

GETS YEAR
IN PRISON

Yesterday in the district court, Geu-
eral Lee entered plea of guilty to as
sault and was sentenced to one year
in the state penitentiary at Granite.
The trouble arose in pool hall here
on July 9, when in fight Lee cut John
Holmes across the neck with knife,
inflicting a severe wound. Lee was
also up for forgery. but that case was
compromised.
Il. McNew, who has been in jail for
several weeks, charged with embez-
element, was given sentence OF 80
days in jail, and costs. The costs in
the case will amount to about Sl5u.
The trouble arose, it is alleged, over
the misappropriation of funds derived
from the sale of sample adding ma
chine. McNew paid the company the
amount of the machine and took his
sentence.
All Jurors were excused for the en-
tire term yesterday, and while courl
is not adjourned, the majority Of cases
for the remainder OF the session WI
be heard by Judge Bailey in his cham
bers, in the First National bank build
| ing.

A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby J. f. Benson of Wynne, Ark,
acquired the lease of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
0. Nash on the Early hotel property
in this city, the change becoming ef-
fective at once. Mr.. Benson is an ex-
perienced hotel man and for the past
eight years owned the Van Noy hos
telry at Wynne, operating the same
very successfully. No material changes
will be made at the present, but Mr..
Benson is contemplating some import
ant improvements in the near future
in the hotel proper.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nash, who have CON
Quoted the Early for the past several
years, will leave shortly for Indiana
to make their home. They have made
host of friends with the travelling
public and the people of Chickasha,
who will regret to see them leave.
Mr.. Benson was accompanied by his
wife and they will be welcomed tc
Chickasha's commercial interests with
much encouragement for a successful
business.

TAKE STEPS TO CHECK
FLANKING MOVEMENT
OF ALLIES ON The RIGHT

been tested. There is some warrant
for the extreme optimism in London
and Paris. 1t must be attributed chief
ly to the inahility of the Germans to
hold victory at one part OF their line
while taking the offensive at another
Thus, the recent German success in
breaking partly through the Meuse
frontier defenses was not retained
while Won Kluck forced the allies back
few miles in the western era. Re-
ports from both German and French
sources suggest that the Meuse is once
more dominated by the allies and the
determined German efforts there have
been resultless, despite initial sue
cesses.
This process of losing what has
been gained is very bad for an army
on the defensive. 1t creates feeling
among the men that they are risking
their lives uselessly, and, however
heroic their attempts to act extensively
may be, the results are without value
in the long run. Discouragement de-
velops and becomes one of the chief
factors that has caused military men to
consider successful counter attack
one Of the most difficult feats Of mod
ern warfare.
The German concentration upon the
siege of Antwerp is a piece of belated
strategy, inconsistent with the rapid
and accurate judgment associated with
the reputation of the kaiser's general
staff. The primary object of the siege
is to capture the main Belgian army
that has taken refuge hi Antwerp and
thus release for action at the front
the German army now held fast in the
little kingdom.
The offensive requires temporarily
comparatively large number Of
troops, for which reason, probably, il
had been postponed by the general
staff.
Now, when the circumstances re
quire, as never before, the presence Of
every available German at the firing
line, eventual reinforcements must be
provided by using valuable units to
subdue Antwerp.
What Antwerps fate viii be can
not be predicted. 1t rests on the time
required by the allies TO force the Ger
mans western front of retreat.

COSTS The
CITY LESS

That the new electrical equipment
in the water plant is saving the city
a neat little sum every month when
compared with the cost of operating
the steam pumps, is shown by records
in the water department office. The
exact cost of every gallon of water
sold will be calculated by flow meter
installed at the plant October /, but
the figures available, handling the
proposition in lump" sums shows a
saving.
The average cost Of maintenance OF
the water plant during the period
when the steam pumps we're in use
was $625 per month, including salaries
and all expenses. In September Of this
year, with the electric power in opera
tion its third month. the total cost, in
0uding salaries and all expenses was
$425.
The revenue, as estimated by Frank
Scrimager, water superintendent will
be greater according to the water used
during the winter months as the sale
of water will increase by about 3,00O.-
600 gallons per month when the cat
tie feeding starts for the season and
the oil mills get under way. Last
month not enough electricity was used
as power at the plant to come under
the lowest rate. In other words, by
using a slightly greater amount Of
electricity, cheaper rate for the en-
tire amount would be given, bringing
the total cost lower for the amount
used. and allowing vastly greater
amount of water to be pumped.
Mr.. Scrimager stated that he was
very much pleased with the electric
apparatus. 1T is even better than
thought it would be before it was in
stalled said Mr.. Scrimager. 1--WE are
working less hours and pumping more
water at lower cost than under the
steam driven pumps
