Affect of Women's Modes
On Auditorium Acoustic.

Chicago, June 14.-Women's modes
have direct effect on auditorium
acoustics, according to Prof. F. R.
Watson of the department of physics
of the University of Illinois. Speak
ers and singers can be heard more
easily when their audience is COM
posed chiefly of women than when it
is preponderately masculine" he said.
"This is because women, as expert
ments have shown, absorb more sound
than men, owing to the clothing
worm"
Professor Watson, who analized the
acoustic properties of-the Municipal
Pier here, and whose recommends
tions for improvements were adopted
by the city authorities, has devised
an instrument that simplifies accous-
tic analyses 1t is an arc-light re-
Hector, which sends it's kissing to-
gether with beam of light to mac
cessible ceiling surfaces to determine
the presence and pahts of any echoes.
AS the sounds and the light take the
same path, the light indicates the
point in the ceiling surface where
the sound strikes, and the angle of
sound reflection is then mathemati
cally computed. A standard organ
pipe is blown and the time taken for
the sound to die out is measured with
stop watch.
"The usual trouble in an auditori-
um," said Prof. Watson, results from
the fact that the walls do not alb
sorb sound to any great extent, and
consequently the word uttered by the
speaker takes a long time to die out.
In the mean time other words are
spoken that become confused with
the sound Of the first words. In
some cases curved walls produce
echoes and concentrate the sound in
unexpected ways. Sound absorbing
materials are the usual corrective:
cushions in the seats are quite eff
cient, but in some cases hair felt
should be placed on the walls. The
amount of felt needed is readily cal
culated from the acoustic properties
of the room.
"in small room there is almost
never any difficulty, but in large
rooms the troubles increase, so that
it is necessary to add sound absorb
ing materials in addition to the
natural furnishings. The closer the
walls are to each other, the more
numerous are the reflections of sound |
per second, and the more rapid is the
absorption of sound"
Sound travels from a speaker at |
the rate of about fifth of a mile a
second. 1t is reflected from the walls
Of room and very rapidly fills the
entire volume. Because its action is
mystery to many laymen, though
The theory has been carefully work.
I'd out by scientists, wrong ideas have
grown up about acoustics.
For example, as much as seven
niles Of wire has been strung in an
although wires as a prac-
.ical corrective for acoustic difffficul.
les are useless.

PAVING BEING Laid
IN BELLE PRAIRIE
HALF MILE OF HARD SURFACED
ROAD NOW NEARING
COMPLETION

Paving of Trunk Highway No. 81 at
Belle Prairie is now we'll under way,
about half mile already having been
completed. A day and night crew are
employed, the day crew laying about
500 ineal feet per day and the night
crew from 200 to 400 feet. The crew
started about a mile and half south of
Belle Prairie and are working toward
Belle Prairie. They will finish the
paving as far as it is to be built, just
north of the Behe Prairie station. The
mixer will then be moved to Graham
and paving will be laid south from
there to connect with the paving al
ready Laid, which extends to a point
about a mile north Of the 500 cross
ing.
It is now possible to drive on the
pavement from short distance below
the 500 crossing to Royalton and from
a short distance below Royalton all the
way to st. Cloud.
The big central mixing plant which
will be located just north Of Little
Falls will not be in operation for an

tie Falls, to secure the pardon of her
l9-year-old son Joseph, were rewarded
on Tuesday of last week when her son
left the federal penitentiary at Ft.
Leavensworth, Kan, after having been
granted a pardon by President Hard

Joseph Anderson was sent to the fed
eral penitentiary for desertion and
fraudulent enlistment. His mother
walked from Sioux Falls, S. D., to
Washington, D. c., and appealed to
President Harding to pardon her SON.
She claimed that her son s mind was
affected as the result of active service
at the front in the world war.
Upon release from the federal penl'
tentiary Anderson was taken into Gus

SOLICITORS GOT THE MONEY BUT
THE CHIEF GOT IT BACK

Local police saved the business peo-
pie here some money this week by in
vestigating soliciting game which
did not look good to them. Two men
and a woman were here soliciting adj
vertising for church directory, col
lecting the money for the advertise
ments as they sold the space. Chief of
Police Larson learned Of their opera
tions and he started an investigation.
The men got out of town but the wo:
man, who had the money, was still
here, and she was asked to furnish
suitable references. This she was un-
able to do and upon the demand Of the
chief she returned the money she had
collected, about $75, which was re-
turned to the business people. A local
minister had given the solicitors a let
ter of recommendation without any in
vestigation Of the merits of the prop
osition.

City Council,
Little Falls, Minnesota.

City Council,
Little Falls, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
The committee recently appointed
pose of negotiating with the Little
Falls Water Power Company for the
purchase of its water mains, respect
fully submit the following report:
The committee has held several
meetings at which majority OF Its
members were present and at one of
these meetings the manager OF the
Water Power Company was present
Investigations as to the value of the
present water plant and after securing
this information presented the same 20
the said company and requested that
ma ains. After due consideration of the
matter the. company courteously de-
clined to submit any price, stating
that the question Of value OF the
water mains should be determined by
board Of arbitrators appointed ac-
cording to law and that the company
would be- willing to accept such price
as might be fixed by said board. Ihe
company also indicated that the soon
er the city takes over the water distrl-
button system the better the company
would like 1T.
We have, therefore, done all that We
can as a committee and we submit the
following recommendatlons:
lately to install new pump IN the
company's pump station, provided such
pump can be installed as can be later
removed and put in the clty,s pump n
house when the same is finished. me
purpose of this is to improve the water
pressure and secure better water SER
vice for both fire and domestic pur-
poses. The officials of the company
willing to have such pump Installed
and removed as above suggested.
2. That the Council proceed at once
| to determine the source; of water sup
the one well which has been found can
not be depended upon to furnish an
adequate and permanent supply. 1t will
be necessary to have about halI
of the one where water has been
| found. These additional wells should
be drilled this fall and the question or
supply settled definitely just as soon
as possible.
8. That the Council Immediately
take the necessary steps to take over
the water mains of the Water Power
! Company by arbitration or condemna-
! ton proceedings; the mode OF proceed
ure must be decided by the Councll,
| that is, whether thru a board of arbi-
! traitors or under the law of eminent
domain. Either method will require
some time and the sooner action 1s
taken by your body the quicker final
results may be attained.
The committee has gathered certain
| material and data in it's Investigations
which will be of value to the city IN
the handling of this matter and the
same haa been filed with the mayor.
Respectfully submitted,
