DR.. ABBOTT WRITES FOR
NOV. PHYSICAL REVIEW
Velocity of Sound From a Moving
Source Is Title of
Story

Or. Raymond II. Abbott, temporar-
lily assistant professor of physics dur
ing the absence of Prof f. G.. Tucker
is the author of an article in the
November Physical Review on "Velo-
city OF Sound From Moving
Source"
This scientific acticle b. DR.. Alb
bolt was written following actual eX-
periments made in the laboratories
here to determine upon the reliabil-
ity of data gathered by Major Alter
and other military officers of Fort
Winfield Scott.
Experimental research was under
taken to determine definitely whether
the motion of the source of sound
affects the speed with which the
sound wave travels,
Military officials have heard the
screech of an approaching shell be-
fore the arrival of the shell, although
the shell was travelling at a speed
twice that of the ordinary speed of
sound.
Results of the research carried out
by DR.. Abbott do not corroborate the
observance of the army officials.
The article by Dr. Abbott in the
November Physical Review is Great
ing a great deal of interest among
scientific men, and is of especial in
terest to faculty members and stu
dents of the State College scientific
department.

INVESTIGATE COST OF EREC-
TION OF SHED OVER TRACK

The athletic council at it's last reg
ular meeting appointed a committee
to investigate the probable cost of
the erection of temporary shed over
the reservoir running track back of
the gym.
The need for such a shed for the
training of our track men during the
cold weather season is very great.
Our 1921 track schedule is a
heavy one, and we will be working
against odds due to the fact that the
Coast and southern teams all have
the advantage of at least a months
training before the weather permits
any outdoor work here.

now about twenty-five grams of radium

more. Before the war, he said, there
were only about no grams, or three

Tenement Hern,it's Secret

Dies Alone in Rooms in Which He Had Secluded

OF Oil Stocks and Deed to Westchester Pronertv

The three rooms in the old frame
tenement at 297 Warwick Street,
Brooklyn, which had hidden life for
eleven years, were cold and dark last
night, for. the life was over and the
body that had housed 1t, that of Charles

Morgue. Trunks and packing cases,
filled for the most part with old let

inolslly downstairs by the police in the
hope they might yield something Of the
secret that Charles Green carried to
the morgue with him.
For eleven years the aged mamie
was about eighty-had lived in the
three rooms which he rented for 50 a
month. Only twice in that time, ac-
cording to- Mrs. Eick, the janitress, had
he had callers. On each occasion the
visitors were the samoa woman and
child. The old man seldom left his
rooms, and even when at home was so
surreptitious in his movement that his
nearest neighbors infrequently heard
him.
1t was not until two days supply
of milk had accumulated at his door
that Mrs. Eick suspected. yesterday that
something might be WRONG in the three
rooms which neither she nor any lodger
in the house save their master had en-
tered for eleven years. She knocked at
the door, timidly at first, for the white
haired man had ferocious scowt when
he was disturbed, and then more
loudly.
There was no response, and Mrs.
Eick called Otto Voight, neighbor
Voight put his shoulder to the door and
the hinges tore from the rotting wood,

of the interior. The shades were
drawn; there was no breath Of warmth

Several models of the triplanes have

vases of testing in wind tunnels. The
ssrmament of the new aerial giants is i'm
@rsss;ye in its magnitude. Its total
reiqbt will be 5000 pounds, and will
consist of cannon, maehine guns, and
hombs. All these weapons are designed
nr;ncipally for attack rather than de-
seuse. The general armament speciti-
cations are as follows: 1
One automatic cannon and mount,
20 pounds; automatic gun ammuni-
ton, 10 pounds; eight Lewis machine
ouns. 100 pounds; eight Lewis gun

bombs ranging in actual weight from
$50 to 1900 pounds each.
The most important requirement in
the construction of the triplane, re-
aaired of the prospective contractor is
that it shall have the ability to ride out
heavy winds when adrift at sea. The
plans call for ability to land and get

ALBANY, March 10.--A bill intro
duced by Senator Abraham Kaplan, of
New York, aiming at putting an end to
the fake income tax experts was re-
ported favorably by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee to-day. The bill
merely places certified public account
ants on the same footing with lawyers
and physicians in so far as forbidding
them to incorporate.
Since the passage Of the Federal in
come tax act irresponsible accountants
have been Incorporating and holding
themselves out as income tax experts
and swindling the unwary. The Kaplan
bill provides for personal eesponsibil-
lty, for under its terms only an indi-
vldual can make an accountants report,
and he must sign it and is held re-
sponsible for any statements he makes.
A bill by Senator Peter Abeles, Of
New York, would reduce from four to
two the number of members of the New
York City Board of Electiop. The bill
also would increase the aalaries of
election commissioners and employees
in other counties of the state.
A bill by Senator John B. Mullan, of
Rochester. would make it a misdemean-
or willfully to give to a newspaper,
magazine or periodical, or any of its
employees, false or untrue statement
