are coded and preached. She was
bent on being good to folks, in the
simplest and most natural way in the

These We're her tower into which
she gathered a motley world of
friends. 1t is a beautiful story, as in
teresting to mature READERS as it is
sure to be to young ones. since the
author has hit upon the important
fact that there as really no difference
between the child mind and that of
the elders; that there is no specially
purged or pruned method for chill
dren's stories. Children see much
further than adults in many direc-
tions and are as fine in their critical
appraisals. And children hate the
stuff that is printed for them in such
quantities This. besides being good
story. is also a sample of the best
kind of writing for children away up
to those Of 60 years or more.

that was all, until the motorman halt

church. The woman got out with her

told the badge passenger that he was
there.
The man looked at the church on
the corner. took a step forward and
then hesitated:
1T doesn't look like the picture l

The badge man didn't want TO get
off the car. but the woman insisted,
and the conductor gave him d help.

against his better reasoning powers
and got off. and followed the woman
and the umbrella and the bag.
And, doubtless, all was well.

Emile Berliner Is Turning to Problem
OF Elastic Wall to Improve Acoustics

Live walls, resonant like the sound
ing box of violin, instead of dead
walls of plaster or hard walls of stone
or brick, are the latest architectural
device to save audiences from strain
ing their nerves and orators from
shouting themselves hoarse. Emile
Berliner of Washington. the father
of the mike" used in telephone and
radio and of the modern disk talking
machine, is now turning his efforts
toward the solution Of the problem of
hearing in large halls. He has de-
veloped a new type of wall tile made
claims has acoustic properties better
than those of stone brick or common
concrete and equal to that of wood.
MANY churches, theaterS and con-
cert halls where sounds are SO dead
ened as to become almost inaudible,
or where the boomy reverberationS
cause confusion said Mr., Berliner.
could be easily corrected by covering
sections Of their interiors with these
acoustic tiles to sufficient height to
catch and reflect the voices of speak
ers and singers and the sounds Of i'll
Struments."
There is no great secret involved in
the new invention. Ordinary concrete
is merely mixed with certain amounts
of such porous materials as asbestos,
sawdust or powdered pumice stone.
The resulting concrete has life" or
elasticity, like wood.
Bad acoustics in buildings are usu-
ally due to two CauSeS-either sounds
are absorbed by inelastic walls and a
speaker in a large hall has to shout
to be heard at all. or else the hard
stone or brick or concrete walls form
a reverberating chamber that adds its
own vibration to those of the speak
er's voice. Wooden. walls always have
been found to have good sacoustical
properties, and Mr.. Berliner reached
the conclusion that it was the elastic
or Migratory character OF wood itself
that was responsible.
A volume OF air wholly or nearly in.
closed by rigid walls has a rhythmic
vibration of it's own, like that of an
organ pipe, and will resound or rever-
berate when the air body Is agitated,
MIR. Berliner explained. The harder
or more rigid the walls are which in
close an air-body. the more intense
will be It's reverberations or the tone
it may produce. An air-body having
elastic walls does not have the organ
pipe properties, and reverberations

TO mark the spot where Abraham
Lincoln stood to watch the battle be-
tween Confederates under Gen.
Early and two divisions of the 9th
Corps that had rushed out the
Seventh street road to defeat the
invaders.
A kind spectator tells you that it
was such a conspicuous spot. that,
as Lincoln took his place on the
ramparts beside Gen. Wright, an
officer who had rushed to warn him
of his danger was killed on the way.
There are various methods of get
ting to Fort Stevens, but If you pre-
fer freehand adventures, take a

you come to the Battle Ground Ma
