WEAK VOICES MADE
TO FILL ANY HALL
New Amplifier Adjustable to
Speaker and Audience, Re-
gardless Of Acoustics.

Somebody coughed yesterday after
noon at one end OF the grand ballroom,
cT the Hotel Astor and 300 Western
Electric dealers. standing for the most
part at the other end. jumped as il the
floor had suddenly burned their feet and
then glanced nervously UP at the roof
Nobody had shot two or three hundred
volts through the dealers by way OF
demonstrating the power of electricity.
What had happened was that an inno-
cent looking thing about the size OF n
half grown alarm clock had seized that
cough. whirlci it to the basement and
through lot of vacuum tubes and other
truck, and then sent It whizzing up to
the second balcony into three horns be-
hind an American flag, from which it
thundered as IL the angel Gabriel had
cleared his throat preparatory to sound
ing the last call for Paradise.
The cough was an unexpected part of
the demonstration of the new Western
Electric public address system, whereby
everyone in a hall, no matter how poor
the acoustics, can hear every word a
speaker says. The apparatus is SO de-
vised that a speaker with a good voice
and a speaker with a poor voice are
both aided electrically. so that just the
right amount OF sound iNaches those in
the hall. The apparatus Is adapted FOR
I Stepping up musical tones between
sixty and 5000 vibrations a second,
which is more than the range of piano.
Newman Fl. Holland OF the Western
Electric Company demonstrated the de-
vice, speaking first with it and then
shading it off. continuing to speak in
the same tone. His voice shrank TO
nothingness in the ears of those at the
end of the ballroom and then returned
full and strong.
| The demonstration was part OF a
luncheon and meeting at the hotel at
which Col III. r. Shreeve. who won the
Legion Of Honor and d. S. NJ for his
work in radio in the war. and Edward
Craft, chief engineer OF the company
spoke of the progress being made by the

port than the Others he explained. be-
cause 1t was his freshman year at the

Joseph A. Steinberg criticized Mayor
Hylan because OF his refusal to sign the
bill providing for licensing taxicab
drivers by the Police Department. He
declared that The system to-day by
which drivers procure licenses Is sim
ply terrible and that drivers even may
get licenses under assumed names. The
trouble with the city administration is
that ;hey talk and do nothing. but we
have a Governor who talks and does
some ming" Assembly Steinberg said.
The women didn't altogether approve
of Assemblyman Steinberger's bill pro-
vidng for thrty-six hour wait after

KLINGLE BRIDGE
PLAN CONSIDERED

In a resolution adopted by the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Association,
which met last night at the E. W.
Brown School in Chevy Chase, the
District Commissioners are urged to
reconsider the planned width of the
new Klingle Ford Bridge.
AS proposed, in drawings submit
ted to the Commissioners, the bridge
is to have width of twenty-five
feet. The resolution contends that
this is not sufficient to take care Of
the traffic, and asks that the draw
ings be made to call for a width of
sixty feet. This is the width OF Con-
necticut avenue. which the present
Slingle Ford Bridge spans a block
below the entrance to National To-
illogical Park.
Washington newspapers were
thanked by the association for their
aid in the campaign for a new bridge.

draw the line between what Ameri-

Doubtful of Cost Accounting.
One of the exceptions noted by
Attorney General Daugherty re-
lates to the Standardization of cost
accounting. Mr.. Daugherty says
that he thinks associations should
be warned to guard against uni
form cost as to any item of ex-
pense. Mr.. Daugherty also says
that he has serious doubts about
the advisability of trade associa-
tions seeking to bring about the
use of uniform trade labels, de-
signs, or trade marks. Secretary
Hoover, in commenting upon this,
said that II had not been his idea
that each member of the association

rather that cooperative advertis-
