5000 HUMAN SOUNDS
IN LIBRARY COLLECTION
Folk Songs and instrumental Mu-

by German Scientists.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 2S.-One ct the most
interesting by-products of the world
war has been the founding in Berlin
of an "anthropophonetic library as
part of the Prussian state library
1t is an aggregation of human sounds
perpetuated upon phonograph plates
and was founded by Prof. Wilhelm
Doegen.
Struck by the idea that the presence
of prisoners of war from every quar-
ter of the globe in German intern
ment camps afforded a unique op-
portunity for assembling a collection
of sounds and songs and pronuncia-
tionS of words. he undertook the task
Prof. Doegen spent months in visit
ing the prison camps as head of a
commission of scientists. and asked
the prisoners to sing folk songs and
pronounce words and utter various
characteristic sounds. The collection
was later extended to include the
characteristic music on native instru-
mentS Of various countries.
The collection of sounds now num-
bers some 5000, and includes those
from most nations of the earth, as
ly extended after the war. OF each
reproduction three original plates are
made with an estimated life of 5000
or 10000 years. These are carefully
stored in the vaults of the library.
while ordinary hard-rubber plates are
used for the demonstrations
More lately the collection has been
extended to include noises in nature,
such as the rustling of leaves, the
whistling Of the wind, the roar of
the ocean and the roll of thunder.

ITALIAN DEPUTIES
LAUD MATTE0TTl
Opposition Members Eulogize Slain
Socialist While Voting mo
Confidence" in Government.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Jun 2S-Afer listening to
eulogy. of the murdered deputy
Matteotti given by the Socialist
leader Turati, meeting of about loo
opposition deputies last night passed
a resolution of no confidence in the
government. The resolution declares
that an essential condition for pacifi-
cation of the country is restoration OF
moral. political. and judicial order,
and that such restoration can be ef-
fected only by a government which
would abolish militia forces recruited
from the members or one party. which
would unhesitatingiy repress every
form of illegality and restore the
authority of the law.
Deputy Turati asserted that tab
let should be placed on wall in
Rome or monument erected to Mat
teotti, saying, as an admonltlon 10
future generations:
Kill me, but the ideal which is in
me never will be killed. My ideal
does not die. My children will be
proud of their father ard workmen
will bless my name. Long live So
cIalism,"
He then praised Matteotti as
philosopher, fnancier, orator, organ
izer, commercial traveller and Social
list, but, above all as one who also
inspired.
Matteotti, he continued, will re-
main in history as symbol pointing
out the sarcasm of pacification pro-
claimed ir words, but prevented by
the violence Of facts
Deputy Turati believed that the Mat
teotti tragedy will be warning to
all those who in good faith think
that regime of threats and over
bearingness can become a reconstruct
tive force

Owners and Managers.
plans have been made for elevator
cars controlled by a push button sys-
tenn to serve a building sixty stories

ice similar to an express service on a

at the tenth, twentieth, thirtieth and
every ten floors to the top are pro-
vided, with a local service for each
ten floors. While the plan may not
be put in operation in the immediate
future, l mention it as an illustra-
tion of the possibilities in future
buildings of great height"
The push button system will be in
stalled in the new Standard Oil build
ing in New York, he declared. I'm
der the system. the passenger an
nounces his floor as he steps in the
elevator and the operator pushes a

WINDOWS GET BETTER.
Shop Displays Become More Elab-
crate and Artistic.
From the Youths Compa nion.

From the Youths Companion.
With every passing season the
dressing of shop windows, especially
at Christmas time, becomes more
artistic and elaborate. Compared
with the gorgeous, glittering miles
of alluring objects that every city of
any pretensions can now display. the
shops of a hundred years. ago were
poor and dingy indeed. Yet the lure
of city shops for the rustic from
village or backwoods is ages old.
So far back as the reign of Louis
XIV of France Paris was already
the greatest mart for luxuries and
objects of art and fashion. Even
then France had settlements in
Africa; and it happened that a Sene-
galese, SON of a black chief who had
been seryiceable to- the settlers, was
taken under the kings protection and
sent to receive his education in the
capital lone precursor of the
many thousand Senegalese blacks
who were to help France fight her
battles in the great war. ..
After the young chieftain had seen
the wonders King Louis graciously
asked him to choose a present for his
father, promising that whatever he
selected should be promptly dis
patched to Africa
Unhesitatingly and in tones Of i'm
ploring eagerness the youth ex-
claimed: Mighty monarch, let me
send a shop!"

NEW YORK, June 2s.-wall street

upon women; the average space for
each ONCE worker in the financial
district OF Manhattan has been cut
down over 6 per cent in the last
decade; bankers maintain more mag
nificent quarters and give their en-
ployes less elbow room than all other
tenants of the most pretentious sky

These are tho outstanding conclu-
sions Of experts Of the Building Own

a survey of a group of the worlds
largest office buildings undertaken to
obtain data for the use Of architects
in designing skyscrapers Of the

Ten years ago, when the last accu-
rate door-to-door census of first-cIass
office buildings in the Wall street dis
trict was taken, 1T was found that
there were four man employees for
every woman, and that the average
floor space for each worker was 125
square feet. t.r..
A similar census in a typical ONCE
building recently revealed that in
a total population for the structure
of 10,86S, the proportion OF men to
women was only two to one. and
that the average working space had
been reduced to lot square feet.

days of the present convention in
which to equal this record.
In comparative progress the present
convention has paralleled exactly the
last one. 1t required two days of
organization. two days of nominating
speeches and a day for the discussion
of the platform before the delegates
were ready to ballot in the 1920 con-
vention. This is the point at which
the present session has arrived after
