New Years Eve Will Be
One Long Wild
Shrek

One hundred thousand pounds
of "police rattles," those racket
producing devices consisting of
cog-wheel operating a hardwood
tongue, are now in the Wash
ington Terminal yards awaiting
distribution to New Years night
merrymakers.
The rattles, made for use as
gas alarms in the trenches dur
ing the war, and constituting the
surplus army supply, have been
purchased by E. ]. Ellis, owner
of the "Army and Navy Store"
at 735 Twelfth street northwest.
The shipment, filling two box
cars, is composed of 10000 of
the rattles and the combined
noise of the beasts in action
could undoubtedly be heard in
China, by way of the H street
viaduct and the Suez Canal. It's
going to be a large New Years,

Final Test Given Apparatus at
Arlington to Make Voice
Heard 5000 Miles Away.

jealousy at the achievement OF man.

1t was the final mechanical re
hearsal OF the equipment which will
carry President Harding's address,
as he pays homage TO Americas un-
known soldier, on armistice day, to
audiences OF thousands OF persons as.
sembled in auditoriums In San
Francisco and in New York.
A phonograph played in the audi
torium in San Francisco was heard
by the spectators in Arlington ceme-
tary as clearly as though they had
been in the same room with the
instrument. Notwithstanding the fact
that they were scattered for a half
mile about the amphitheater.
Heard Across Continent.
Taps. bugle calls. low toned chimes
and the human voice were hurled
back and forth across the continent,
without the loss or a syllable, a dis.
cordant note or misunderstood
word.
In the playing OF the phonosraph.
the familiar scribling of the needle
on the revolving cylinder. before il
came In contact with the recorder
music. could be plainly heard.
The first test was made from the
San Francisco end OF the line when a
voice announced: 81 shall now read
the words OF President Harding's in
augural address. spoken from the roof
of the civic auditorium" The speech
then followed, perfectly audible in
every nook and hollow OF the National
city OF the dead.
Following the reading of the speech
a phonograph record was played hurl-
ing it's melody over the thousands
OF miles OF wire. transmitted to the
amplifiers and out into space to the
listeners.

When the services are held on No

the President delivers his address.
but the thousands crowding the
grounds surrounding the amphitheater
will hear clearly every word spoken.
the roar of the gun salvo and taps
sounded above the grave as the body
is lowered to it's final resting place.
The sounds will be carried by ampli-
fiers.
The arrangements for transmitting
the exercises of the Armistice Day
rites is the contribution Of the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany to the memory OF the dead
soldier.
To accomplish the feat. thousands
OF miles of wire. hundreds of work
men and the time of score or
more of officials have been employed.
Work on the arrangements has been
under way for weeks and the trial
test yesterday was declared by the
officials to be entirely satisfactory.
, In order that there may be no
chance for mishap, a parallel set-~f
wires, amplifiers and equipment has
been installed.

Testing Material In Cloth

Mixtures Of cotton and wool may
be tested by raveling a bit Of cloth
and burning two of the threads, one
running with the selvage the other
crosswise to 1t. The cotton thread
burns quickly with flame and smells
like wood; wool chars slowly without
name and smells like burning hair.
Shoddy, or manufactured wool, is
OFTEN used with wool. This can be
detected by raveling out a bit of the
material, when short broken fibers
may be seen. In general, a wooden
material which has cotton in IT will
become more wrinkled when wet than
Atwood goods.
