They were able to get the wounded
back from the front in quicker time
than that made by any other command
he said, resulting in saving many
lives.
The loss of American lives i'm the
war would have been much smaller.
the general added, if this country had
been prepared for war when il entered
the conflict. Preparedness may be
costly, but it is not SO costly as the
lives of soldiers. he said.

Instrument, Being Perfected by Scores of
Experts, Will Garry Inaugural Ad-
dress to- Every One Present.

The loud speaker is the name of
the device which will enable President
elect Harding to deliver his inaugural
address from the steps of the Capitol
March 4. so that it can be heard per-
fectly thousand or fifteen hundred feet
away
The device is a system of motors,
generators, wires, transmitters. ampli
fiers and other electrical machinery,
which has been in the course of con-
struction and installa ton at the Capitol
for about month, requiring the services
of large force of trained engineers and
expert workmen
1t is designed to carry the human voice
in the open air over a wide area, so that
the thousands who gather in the Capt. oil
plaza will be able to hear Mr.. Harding's S
speech as well. no matter in what part
OF the throng. as if they stood ten feet
from the speaker The engineers say
that it will be possible to hear the
speaker almost as far away as the steps
of the Congressional Library. A demon
stration and test of the apparatus will
be made about March l.
Although there are three rooms full
OF machinery and electrical devices in
connection with the loud speaker. none
of it is in evidence. and the huge horns
through which the speech will he heard
are camoufiaged by being made "A part
of the roof of the speakers stand. SO
far as the speaker himself is con-
cerned he will see nothing of the ap-
paratuS except small transmitter boxes
which Will be set somewhere in front
and to the sides of his speaking desk
so that his voice will be caught in the
workings of the loud speaker no ma tier
which way he turns.
The boxes holding the transmitter
disks are lined with heavy felt. The
transmitters are instruments noted for

When the President -elect speaks. his
voice will generate energy by means
of the sensitive transmitters. ThlS
energy is transferred by wires to the
complex apparatus now being lnstaiieo
under the Capitol steps. The energy
is led into "A little glass bulb, which the
engineers call vacuum tube ampli-

dozen engineers will be watching
each bit of apparatus. There VIII be
men at certain points on the Capitoi
plaza connected with the machinery
rooms by telephone, to report to the
men at the amplitierS. The working
of a loud speaker requires crew as
large as a small vessel
The voice. when it emerges from
the horns is almost an exact dupli
cation of the original, but greatly in
creased in power. 1t is possible for
the loud speaking system to obtain
an amplitication of several million
times without great distortion of the
original wave form.
The principles involved are those
of the telephone. The loud speaker
is being installed by the engineers of
the Bell Telephone system, including
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company and the Chesapea Ike
and Potomac Telephone Company. The
loud speaker is not Il commercial de-
vice is not for sale or for rent. and
is a contribution by the Bell system
to the inaugural ceremonies. 1t has
been considerably improved since it
was used at the republican and demo
cratic conventions last summer The

development for about ten years in
the Bell system laboratories.

WHY CONGRESS DELAYS

With force inadequate to handle
all of the work of the main Public

branch libraries in outlying communi-
ties is out of the question for the

certain to come in time, according
to DR.. George F. Bowerman, Ii

So keen is the desire for books

back again to get some coveted vol

ed that libraries would be better sup
ported when the present school gen.
Grafton grew up, as many of them
would have the library habit
Why Congress Fails to Act.
Public libraries as We have them
today were not to be found when the
members of the present Congress
were boys" he continued. "and so
they do not understand the need and
value of extending the work. If they
did appropriations would be easier to
get"
There are five principal functions

are recreation. forming of the read
ing habit, promotion of civic enlight-
eminent improvement of economic
condition by distribution of books on

the maintenance of a free public in
formation service.
Because of the "beggarly sa'Sries'
paid m game instances as low as $3.50
year ~ positions requiring a high
school education, the turnover of
the library force in recent years
has been as high as 90 to 9S per cent.
though last year the hope of reclassi-
fication cut the turnover down to so
per cent.
