Meu Test
For Sound
Apparatus Is Described
At Science Meeting
In Chicago.

Sound making is one of the latest
achievements of the scientist. A
new portable sound producing ap-
paratus that will give out pure
sound of known frequency and in
tensity was described for the first
time by DR.. E. A. Eckhardt Cf the
National Bureau OF Standards at the
meeting of the American Physical
Society in Chicago last week.
Music halls and aUditoriums can
be tested by using this new appara-
tus," DR.. Eckhardt explained. The
apparatus will produce different
kinds of sounds and the acoustics
of the hall or room can be deter
mined. Another use to which the
machine can be put is TO determine
what kind of sound can be used for
signals above the noises OF a fac
tory"
DR.. Eckhardt said that the ap-
paratus was developed as a part of
the preliminary work OF the new
sound laboratory Of the bureau.

ARMIES MAINTAINED
FOR INTERNAL REASONS

why then does China. at a time
when money is so badly needed
keep an army, or what is more ac-
curate, a couple of armies. which
would be practically useless in timn
OF war? The answer is easily found
1t is plainly seen that when there
are two factions in the country each
bent on holding out to the end ar
mics must be maintained to preserve
the prestige and protect the inter
ests of each. The North cannot dis
band its troops, for 1t would tben
be at the mercy OF the paid mer-
cenaries of the South" e

EASILY CARRIED
IN SMALL TRUNK,

The new instrument is so COMPACT
That II can easily be packed into a
small trunk. Heretofore in order to
produce sound of such range, many
large cumbersome organ pipes and
blowing machinery were necessary.
The essential parts of the new
sound producer are an Audion tube
oscillator and a loud speaking tele-
rhone.
For scientific acoustic work the
sound must be pure" Dr. Eckhardt
said. Just as the chemist must
have chemically pure reagents, the
physicist must have c. P. sound"
In another paper DR.. Eckhardt de-
scribed the principles underlying the
parabolic mirror which was used
during the war to locate the direc-
tion from which the sound of air
planes came.
In the same way that rays Of
light are collected and converged to
a point by such a mirror. sound can
be collected and intensified by its
use, DR.. Eckhardt pointed out. By
catching the sound at two points,
the phase difference is sufficient to
locate the direction from which the
sound is coming. This is exactly
the same principle that the human
hearing system, the two ears, uses
to judge which way a sound is
travelling.
]. c. Karcher, of the same lab
oratory presented papers at the
same convention on apparatus for
measuring sound intensity and on
a method of measuring phase diff
ferences in a sound field.

NEW REGIME SHOWS
LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

The Anfuites were ousted from
once, said Plum. while they
were responsible for China's admin
istration it was declared that tbev
were the cause of China's ills. The
new regime has had ample time to
show what it can do, and vet the
condition of China has not improved
Although there is no civil war in
the land the situation could not be
worse were there a war raging be-
tween the two factions.
Think OF the ridiculousIy large
number of men China keeps con-
stantly under arms. despite the fact
that there is not even the most re-
mote danger Of war with anv
other power. China is maintaining
an army that is altogether out Of
proportion to her requirements. Why
are such large bodies of militia ~
maintained under arms and in train
ing? Solely because of the acute diff
ferences which exist between the
Representatives OF the two political
parties of the country. All these
soldiers must be kept. clothed and
fed. This is no light item in a land
where every cent should be reck-
oned in expenditure, a land from
which an appeal is now going out
for funds for starving hundreds Of
thousands.
China is on the verge Of bank
ruptcy, and has been there for some
time. Yet, she still maintains an
army, which for war purposes,
would be of no use to her. 1t cannot
ne said that 1t is maintained to po-
lice the country. for If it were it
would be bad bargain, judging
from the number OF brigands which

CHINA CAN BLAME
HER OWN LEADERS.

CHINA may blame her own leaders.
Plum declares. for her failure to OBJ
tain more consideration at the Peace
conference. She would have Jared
better had she gone to Paris with a
united front. A house divided against
ltself cannot stand, he says, and the
chinese people will never see their
country what they desire il to be
while North and South continue to
act independently of each other.
1t Is hard to believe" said Plum,
that leaders of both parties can be
sincere in their professions to work
lot the best interests of China when
they cannot agree upon a modus
operandi for the proper administra-
tlon OF the Country's affairs. The
Two factions have clearly made up
their minds to hold out to the bitter
end In order to satisfy their own
respective ambitions, and while this
condition continues it is impossible
to hope for a solution"
Plum points out that a step in the
right direction was the recent es.

FRISCO VISITOR GIVES
VIEWS ON CHINA

China will never take her proper
place among the great powers of the
world until her political leaders
agree to throw aside party ambitions
and unite to bring China to the DO
sition warranted by her natural re-
sources and population, was the
statement made by George S. Plum,
or San Francisco, seen at the New
.Ebbitt yesterday.
Plum who spent several months in
China last year, declared that he
was amazed at the position occupied
by country with such possibilities
as those possessed by China, but that
observation had impressed him with
the fact that China's backwardness
was not due to the role played by
Japan. as has been often said. but
that the fault lay with the Chinese
themselves.
Why" asked Plum, does China
remain today, despite her mineral
wealth. natural resources, and vast
population, one of the most impotent
nations on the ace of the earth? =
There have been repeated efforts
to explain, that China's deplorabIe
failure to rise to the heights which
her population and resources would
entltle her to. is due to Japanese
ambitions. 1t is true that the policy
pursued by Japanese statesmen in
the past has been largely responsible
Tor much Of the dislike of the Japa-
nese which has been created in
China. but nothing is more unjust
10 the japanese than the reports that
nave been maliciously circulated in
emma TO the effect that China's
backward condition is the result of
Jdpans efforts to repress all at
tempts on the part of the Chinese to
priig thelr nation to its poper rank
among the nations OF the world.
