Cause of Echo

An echo is the repetition OF a sound
due to its reflection from some distant
surface. such as from a building. cliff.
cloud or body OF water. II must be
remembered that sound Is transmitted
by means Of waves through the air.
Sound travels very slowly In COMPARE
son with light or radio waves. In or
binary air sound waves travel nj the
rate Of about 1000 feet n second. Now
suppose a person Is standing 1000 feet
from a rejecting surface such MS q
hill or clin. II will take the sound
waves set In motion by his voice one
second to reach the cliff and II will
require the same length OF time for
the rejecting sound waves to return
to the human ear. Therefore two sec
onds will elapse between the time he
shouts and the time he hears the echo
OF his voice. Repeated echoes are due
either to Independent reflections OF
sound from bodies Mt different dis
tances or To successive reflections.

WISCONSIN GROUP
TAKE SEATS EARLY
Some Reaction Seen From Dis
courtesy Shown During
Cooper's Speech.
BY a STAFF Correspondent.

BY Stan Cores spondent-
CLEVELAND, June 12.-Wiscon-
sins recalcitrant delegation was in
its seats in Convention Hall early to-
day, undaunted by the demonstration
against it by the other state delegations
last night The delegation was pre-
pared. with the one exception in
structed for Coolidge, to vote for
Senator La Toilette for President and
Senator Norris of Nebraska for Vice
President.
The Wisconsin delegation will not
place a nomination formally either
for La Toilette or Senator Norris. 1t
will merely cast its ballot for them
when the votes are taken.
Representative Cooper, the veteran
who presented the Wisconsin plat
form last night was congratulated
tion when the whole convention was
bowling him down.
The Wisconsin delegates and their
friends declared that the demonstra-
tion staged against them at the con-
vention had aided rather than harmed
the cause of the progreSSives.
AS a matter of fact some of the
regulars were inclined to think that
it has been a mistake to turn a dem
onstration for Coolidge into an at
tack on the Badger State delegation.
Make martyrs of them and they
veyed. Before the demonstration had
been concluded there was not a little
feeling in Convention Hall manifested
in the galleries that it was rather
unfair for the delegati tions of forty
seven states, four territories and a
federal district to turn upon a single
delegation and stand over it for half
an hour bowling.

Watson Gets Angry.
| The resolutions committee session

| Senator Watson argued pleasantly
Roadway and grew angry. He insist

not make the plank read so plainly
and bluntly in favor of the court.

Warren of the committee. But hnal-
ly Watson demanded heatedly:
why are you so anxious to nave

Because that is the way the Presi.
dent wrote the plank" answered
| Mr.. Warren, calmly.
The plank, as finally adopted, reads:
THE Republican party reaff1rms its
| stand for agreement among the ma
tions to prevent war and preserve
peace. AS an important step in this
| dir@ction, we indorse the Permanent
| OIL 1nterQauOndl JuStlCe, anu

to this tribunal as recommended by

has definitely refused membership in

There is nothing equivocal about

President Coolidge stands.

come before the Senate until Con-

| less Congress should be called to-
gether earlier in special session. That
will be a short session, in which fill
clustering tactics may easily be used to

which there may be strong opposition.
The people of the country have not
| been widely interested in the world
court proposal. Domestic issues dur

their attention. 1t may be that it has
been given undue prominence in the
