below or next door, for Prof. Irving Ham
lin, secretary of the musical conservatory

a sound-proof room.
Prof Hamlin furnished the following
description of his invention:
''Felt-mounted steps are placed on the
top and two free edges of the door frame,
which are under forcible compression
when the door is closed. An invisible
board with a generous fold of felt, pro-
tected by strong sailcloth, moves down
ward by the action of the handle of the
door and fills the crack between the door
and the threshold The door contains
airspaces and a deadening quilt is placed
in the space not occupied by the mechan-
ism.
Windows are treated somewhat simi-
larly. Air spaces and quilts are placed
in the walls. ceiling and floor. Ventila-
ton is effected by introducing air through
duct in the roof to the basement, where
1t passes through heating coils and is
washed. II flows in individual pipes to
the rooms at a point near the ceiling and
escapes through a pipe to the roof"

Senator Robinson Wants Congress to
Give Publishers Immediate Relief.

Declaring the newsprint paper trust

would make the paper used in news.
papers, magazines. periodicals, and books
"a public utility" The Senator voted
for the censorship provisions in the
espionage bill, and much interest was
displayed when he came to the front
as a champion Of the press.
II bring In this bill to demonstrata
to Congress the very oppressive condI-
lions regarding the trade in print paper %
he told the Senators. These conditions
threaten to destroy the business OF many
publishers.
There may be some doubt as to IN,
power Of Congress to declare newsprint
paper public utility and also whether as
I have provided in the bill, the Federal
Trade Commission may fix the maximum
price. But my Investigation conytnces
me that Congress should take speedy
action"
The bill empowers the Federal Trad.
Commission to hx "a reasonable nrice'
as maximum. The provisions are most
specific on this point.
Senator Robinson feels that his nsw
measure will be successful in its passage
through Congress But some senatoTs
said yesterday afternoon they Thought N.

Lack Of "0r" Costs Widow
Long Delay in Court Case

Portland, Org, May 14-It required
TWO years, hve months and fourteen days
Tor the courts of Oregon to determine
that Traffic Policeman White. Of this
city, was killed while on duty through
the carelessness of truck driver and
that the widow is entitled to 5000 dam
ages. 1t is the case that was commented
on in many parts of the United States
on account Of the now notorious "and or
or decision Of the Oregon courts.
Because she denied that her husband
"carelessly and neglIgently' stepped
backward into the path OF the truck, the
WIDOW lost the case on her first appeal to
the supreme Court. The high court held
that she should have used the words
"carelessly or negligentIy."

Is to Blame for H. E.. of L.

Fresh from an interview with Secre-

for speeding up the circulation Of cur
rency to enable everyone to borrow money
at one per cent per annum. before the
public, at meeting in the Raleigh Hotel,
last night
House claims that II his plan is adopted,
money would travel one houndred times
faster, and be borrowed a hundred times
more than It is now. Quick turnovers,
however, are essential to this radical
scheme, which would involve an adjust
ment OF the whole operation Of the none
tary system.
