Human Ear Deceives
In Judging Volume

Few people realize the enormous
range of the human ear. In pitch, a
good youthful ear can hear all tones
from as low as 16 vibrations per Sec
ond to as high as 10000 per second.
The range of intensity is likewise
enormous. If we take as one the
strength of the weakest sound we can
hear. then the strength Of the ordinary
talking voice will be million.
Tn estimating the relative strength
If sounds. our ears deceive us. For
instance, when asking people about
the comparative strength of two radio
sets. one often hears them say that
one set is twice as loud as another.
when they say that they do not under
stand the peculiarities of the ear. On
being questioned, they agree that the
strongest set behaves as If it had one
more stage of application than the
weaker set. Now one more stage of
qualification represents 200 times the
mower output, yet it seems only twice
as loud. In other words, our ears are
very poor at gauging the intensity OF
sound. This is very necessary con-

Paris Asked To Revise Debt Plan

Observation-Disclosures must revise
its new offer for settlement of its war
debt to this country, the American
debt commission decided. The deci-
sion was reached at the second meet
ing of the American commission to
study the proposal put forward last
week by French ambassador Berenger.
Secretary H. w. Mellon will confer
with the ambassador before negotia-
lions are resumed. Although France
will be asked to modify its offer, 1t
was emphasized by the American COM
mission that the latest discussion
have not been terminated. One of the
principal bitches is how much France
shall pay at the outset. Mr.. Berenger
proposed initial payment of S25,O00,-
900 annually, but the commission is
understood to desire higher first pay

dition. If our ears were sensitive to
changes in intensity they would either
be insensitive to weak sounds or
moderately loud noises would become
unbearable.
The degree Of the ears sensitiveness
to loudpess can be well illustrated by
the fact that it is difficult to dis
tinguish between two sounds, one of
which is twice as strong as the other.
To successfully make the differenti-
alton it is necessary that both sounds
have the same pitch, the same quality
of timber, and that the comparison be
rapid.

Son, AsCends Persian Throne

Persia, Reza Khan Pehlevi, who from
the humble station of farmer peasants
son, groom and trooper in the Persian
cossacks, rose to the position of die

crowned amid scenes of splendor.
Reza Khan, after he became premier
and assumed autocratic powers in
1928, declared himself in favor of
republic. He carried out successful
coup which ousted the Kajar dynasty.
Then he suddenly changed his mind
and announced his intention of becom-
ing monarch. Shah Ahmed Kajar was
then in Paris and he was deposed,
not difficult task, since he spent most
Of his time on the Riviera, and gave
little attention to the needs of his

Events IN the Nation and State.
HAGEN DRAFTS
FARM AID BILL
Committee Decides to Report
Both the Haugen and Tinch-
! er Agricultural Measures.

Washington-The house agriculture
committee decided to give the house
an opportunity to vote on both the
Haugen and Tincher farm relief bills.
Despite lack of definite alignment
as between the measures, Representa-
tive Tincher, Republican, of Kansas,
author of one of them, said Republican
committee men had voted to report
both, with Democrats opposing such a
course. The Haugen bill is an amend
ed form of the "corL belt" plan and
would stabilize prices by levying an
equalization fee on wheat, corn, cat
tie and swine. The Tincher measure,
supported by the administration. would
set up revolving fund of $100,000,000
to extend credit to farmers co-opera-
tive associations. The committee as
a whole did not form definite align
ment on either bill, but the supporters
of each voted to allow both to reach
the floor.
Continuation of hearings on farm
relief measures, especially on the
Tincher bill, which was Endorsed by
Secretary Jardine, was requested Of
the house agriculture committee by
Chester H. Gray, secretary of the
American Farm Bureau federation.
