FLAGS EVERYWHERE

Everywhere bunting flew in the light breeze, mainly the. American national eoi- ors The British union jack and the French tri-colors were in evidence in many places but the local flag makers had been unable to meet the public de- mand for them.
 There were no other decorations and even at the Union station the only touch of color was lent by the three large flags. the American, British and French, which were hoisted on the three great masts adorning the plaza. Nor was there any music to greet the visitors the original plan including the presence or the marine band, having been amended to conform to the view expressed by Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing that this was a grave and serious event in American history and not to be lightly treated or regarded as . social and fes- tive affair.
 5000 PEOPLE WAIT
 Or the plaza and overlapping the great building at either wing were gathered some 5000 people waiting patiently tor glimpse of the nations guests. restrained at proper distance by hundreds of blue coated policemen and by two troops or the second cavalry commanded by Col onel Fenton, part of the garrison at nearby Fort Myer.

How Luther Valued Music.

Luther had q keen relish for the
beautiful in music, but the relief and
comfort it afforded him through OK
pressing his own feelings We're with
him trivial concentrations as compared
with it's use in bringing home Gospel
truth to heart and conscience. The
melodious cadences and clear and
brilliant phrases of sacred songs were
for him golden characters by which
the knowledge of God was to be I'M
printed on the memory. Never IS the
SingleneSS of the mans heart more
conSDicuous-the concentration of his
soul upon one grand life-purpose more
evident-than when, with congeniai
toll, he sets to simple words and sim
pie tunes, for children to sing, the
main veritieS of Christian faith, the
main facts of Christian story.
Luther gave the initiative for count
less psalms and hymns and grave
sweet melodies, sung by the Protestant
vanguard of mankind. The best re
ligious inspiration of these last ages i:

SOUND TO CONTROL MACHINE
Remarkable Invention Demonstrated
in London Is Based Upon the
Principle of Resonance.

The distant control of mechanical
operations by sound, as demonstrated
In London, depends upon the principle
of resonance, or the setting up OF re-
enforcing sympathetic vibrations by
sending out the note for which the ap-
paratus is tuned.
The resonator consists of tele-
phone transmitter and receiver, placed
near together face to face in q closed
cylindrical casing, with tube contain
ing a piston extending at the back of
the receiver. The piston lengthens or
shortenS the column of air behind the
receiver, and thus changes the vibra-
ton note of the transmitter and re-
ceiyer diaphragms. The transmltter
is connected to the primary current of
an induction coil, with switch battery,
resistance, and an ordinary post office
relay in circuit; the receiver is cou-
pied to the secondary circuit. When
the proper note vibrates the d.
aphragms, the armature OF the relay
is moved, closing the local circuit, and
this can be adapted for starting and
(! stopping an engine, releasing Doiios'
or other purposes.
/ For controlling dirigible, the
sounds might be sent from the ground
! by siren, the note of which would be
adjusted by varying the speed. DIFF
/ ferent notes could be made to perform
different requirements; and in guiding
an airship, turning the rudder to the
right, to the left, elevating, depressing

To avoid discovery of the means OF
performing any operation, the appar
atus could be designed to respond ar
