FRANKS CASE RAISED

Failure to Obtain Death

CHICAGO, October 1.-The final
chapter in the story of the murder
OF little Robert Franks has NOT been

polls have determined its content on
November T.
When Robert E. Grove, prosecutor
OF Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold,
Jr, thrill murderers, learns finally
whether or not he will be States at
torney for anather term, the finish" OF
the story will be known.
Political backfire has already be
gun. Michael Igoe, the Democratic
candidate for the job of prosecuting
Chicago's criminals, and Hope Thomp-
son, running under the banner of the
Chicago Better Government Associs
ton, have begun to capitalize the
fact that Groves demand for the
death sentence failed.
Mr.. Groves opponents are hurting
statistics to show that despite efforts
OF the law enforcing branch of the
government murders continue at the
rate or one a day, with 260 persons
slain in the first nine months of this
year, while the number of convic-
ttons of killers is almost negligible.
Mr.. Grove comes right back with
figures to prove that his office has OBJ
tanned 5,294 convictions in three years.
compared TO i,461 in the previous four
years. Crime. he says. has fallen -
per cent, while convictions under his
regime have increased IS per cent.
The battle wages hot. Mr.. Grove
promises to run murder and theft out
of Chicago. just as he claims to have
ended the labor wars and put the lid
on unSavory resorts in the first years
ah nj sfr PY,f
Loeb-Leopold case, which his oppo-
nents cite against him. stands as his
chief plea for reelection. Despite
defeat, the example of a states attor-
ney demanding death for rich killers
is counted as a vote-getter in a COM
munity so murder-ridden.

How to Choose Loudspeaker-
Part ii.

Radio Editor of Popular Science Monthly

How to Choose Loudspeaker-
Part ii.
There are many types Of loudspeakers.
but all OF them consist of two essential
elements: The horn and the reproduc-
ing unit.
Upon the electrical efficiency of it's re-
producing unit depends the volume, the
tone and quality Of the received pro-
grams. The type of horn used deter
mines the tonal quality Of the music and
speech.
All horns look more or less alike. but
there is considerable difference in the
results obtained from the various types.
Some or the horns used on the cheaper
types OF loudspeakerS are made with
out any regards to the acoustical prtn-
clpleS which govern the construction OF
norm for the proper reproduction of
the finer qualities of musical notes.
The larger manufacturers of loud
speakers have devoted a considerable
amount OF money in perfecting the
horns used in their Ioudspeakers, and in
many cases have not only worked to
perfect the shape of the horn to con-
form to best acoustical practice, but
nave also spent much time and money
In perecting material for use with
their loudspeakers which would be
strong mechanically. practicable for
hdu uidCIuTlnB purposes on d idIse Scdlc
and possessed Of the proper qualities to
give the required tonal quality, free
from the 'tinnyness" which is found in
many of the cheap types of loudspeakers
using an ordinary metal horn.
Horns Don't Amplify.
The horn of a loudspeaker does not
actually amplify the sound any more
than megaphone amplifies a speakers
voice. The effect it produces, however.
is actually equivalent to amplification
because apparently the sound produced
is much stronger and clearer than when
no horn is used.
You can easily test the difference by
listening to a loudspeaker first with the
horn in place and then with the horn
removed. The difference in the tonal
quality and volume is very marked. II
you have various types of horns which
can be interchanged. using the same re-
producing unit, you can note the differ
ence in the results obtained with DIFF
ferent makes and types Of horns under
similar operating conditions.
When the horn is used the sound vi
brations produced in the air by the NOV

ing diaphragm of the reproducing unit
are given good grip" on the air
Wnlch carries the sound vibrations.
When no horn is used the energy of the
diaphragm is dissipated haphazardly
The shape of the horn also brings out
the iIil tone quality of the notes with
out losing any Of the delicate harmonics
which make the difference between good
and bad reproduction
Ihere is as much difference in the
sound waves produced by a hornless
ioudspeaker and those produced by a
norm loudspeaker as there is between
tne water waves produced by merely
nittihs the water with a stick at irregu-
lar intervals and in different directions
ana the waves produced by immersing
and Withdrawing a stick at regular in
terVals One results in churning up the
water and producing irregular interfer-
ing waves, while the other produces
regular, even waves
Composition Materials Best.
Composition materials of various kinds
especially developed for use in horn con-
struction have been found to give the
pest quality Of reproduction. These
give a better tone than most of the
metal horns. which vibrate when GER
tam notes are sounded and produce the
tinny." metallic sound.
Now just word about the size of
the horn. Many manufacturers Of loud
speakers furnish horns in different sizes
the bell of some of their horns being
larger than that of others. Do not ex-
pect large horn to give you much
greater volume of sound when used with
the same reproducing unit or with the
same receiving set. What larger horn
VIII do and the purpose for which it is
primarily designed for is to handle
greater volume without the distortion
and ''bla" which results when a small
horn is used with a very powerful re-
celvlng set or reproducing unit
Cnless you want to use the loud
speaker in the open air or in a large
auditorium, do not get the most mower
ful reproducer and the largest horn
available.
