Wonen's Modes
Affect Acoustics
Absorb Noises

Chicago, Ill. June 14-Women's S
modes have direct effect on audi
torium acoustics, according to Prof.
+. II. Watson of the department Of
physics of the Cnile rsity of Illinois.
Speakers and singers can be heard
more easily when their audience is
composed chiefly of women than
when it is preponderately mascu-
line" he said. This is because
women, as experiments have shown,
absorb more sound than men, owing
to the clothing worn"
Prof. Watson, who analyzed the
acoustic properties of the Municipal
Pier here, and whose recommended
tions for Improvements were adopt
ed by the city authorities, has de-
vised an instrument that simplities
reflector. which sends its kissing to-
gether with a beam of light to in
accessible ceiling surfaces to deter
mine the presence and paths OF any
echoes. AS the sounds and the light
take the same path, the light indi-
Gates the point in the ceiling sur
face where the sound strikes. and
the angle of sound reflection is then
mathematically computed A stan
dard organ pipe Is blown and the
time taken for the sound to die out
is measured with a stop-watch.
The usual trouble in an audito-
rum" said Prof. Watson, results
from the fact that the walls do not
absorb sound to any great extent.
and consequently the word uttered
by the speaker takes long time to
die out In the mean time other
words are spoken that become con-
fused with the sound Of the first
words. In some cases curved walls
produce echoes and concentrate the
sound in unexpected ways. Sound
