SOUND TRAVEL TEST
TO BE MADE BY RADIO
Gunire Will Be Broadcast at
English Proving Grounds
as Experiment.
BY Science Service ]

LONDON.-The old question of
why sound sometimes travels much
farther than at other times may be
answered as a result of experiments
soon to be made in England when
the firing of big guns will be broad
cast by radio from the artillery prov
ing grounds at Shoeburyness. People
for miles around will have the oppor-
tunity Of hearing the guns of radio
and then, several minutes later, of
hearing the actual sounds as they
travel through the air.
This announcement Is made by
DR.. f. J. w. Whipple Of the Kew
Observatory. He says that at
Shoeburyness, he has heard the firing
of the guns between 1O& and 11A
minutes after they were discharged
Such abnormal distances for sound
seem to be the result of an effect
something like that Of the heaviside
layer which reflects radio waves
down to earth again instead Of let
ting them go out into space. DIR.
Whipple says that it is agreed that
such long range sound records are
the result of a layer of the air some
25 miles or more above the earth's
surface, where the temperature is
relatively high, and the sound waves
are refracted down to earth again.
Thus a sound that might be inaudi-
BILE at 20 miles distance might be
heard at a hundred.
The broadcasting of the times of
firing will make 1t possible for OBJ
servers throughout southeastern
England to tell when the sounds
start and when they reach them, if
they reach them at all. DIR. Whipple
believes that the best reception"
of the actual sound waves, reflected
from the upper air layer, will be
about 100 miles from Shoeburyness.

RED SHIRTS TUNNEL
DISCOVERED IN PRISON
Second Attempt of Notorious Gang
to Escape Fails in
Ohio.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2::.-The
second attempt in months Of the no.
torious "Red Shirt" gang to escape
from the Ohio Penitentiary was halt
ed when prison officials discovered a
series of tunnels being dug through
the prison walls, it was announced
yesterday. Most of them were the
men who made a spectacular break
for liberty on November s, after at
tacking three guards.
The tunnels when completed would
have linked % cells occupied by dan
gerous prisoners, and another tunnel
would have led to the prison yard,
from where the men hoped to escape
by means of Wall-scaling rope.
Warden P. E. Thomas said he esti-
mated that from II to Is of the men
in the cell block were in on the plot,
but that he was confident all 20 knew
about 1t.
They were imprisoned In the "old
cell block" which had been specially
prepared for them after the November
dash and which was surrounded by
high wire barricades.
The men, the warden said, had
made a rope for wall-scaling from gar
ments and bedclothes and had used
the iron legs of their cots to dig the
walls away. One tunnel between two
cells was completed, and the others,
including the one to the yard, partly
done, when the plot was revealed and
stopped. Warden Thomas intimated
the guards on duty in the cell block
had been negligent and said he would
change them around" and try to
put guards on duty there who would
keep their eyes open and know what
was going on"
II don't blame the men, I blame
the guards" he said.

The younger generation found an
other defender yesterday in Represent
ative Aswell of Louisiana, who vigor-
ously upheld the vagaries of youth in
an address to members Of tho All
Clubs camp.
Mr. ASWeli, after describing the
methods of Congress, launched into a
glowing eulogy of youth in general
and presentday youth in particular.
E Most Of US older people think a
boy isn't normal unless he acts like
we remember we used to act" he
said, but the trouble is we don't re-
member half we did. Youth is more
tdealistic and franker than ever be-
FORE" he said.
He urged the boys and girls to
learn to live happily and to serve.
School, he said, is not preparation for
life, but it is life itself, and the pub
lie school is the symbol Of America S
national unity.
Later in the day the club members
visited the Government Printing
Office and the Botanic Gardens. Last
night they went through the Library
of Congress.

BRITISH PRESS sKEPTICAL.
Sees No Reason u. s. Navy Should
Equal England's.

LONDON, June % R.-The pro-
posals Of the United States at the
Geneva naval limitation conference
are interpreted by the Morning Post
as aimed at equalizing the American
and British navies, while keeping the
Japanese inferior to either.
"We cannot imagine" it declares,
"upon what grounds the United States
bases such an illogical proposal, as
there can be no equality between two
nations whose requirements are wholly
different"
It concludes it's editorial article by
saving: "Unless the American dele
gates are prepared to yield upon points
which they evidently regard as at
least of political import, the pros
pect Of an agreement does not appear
particularly hopeful"
The other morning newspapers sup
porting the government indorse the
British plan, the Daily Telegraph ex-
pressing the opinion that the British
scheme will be the main subject Of
discussion. 1t regards the British
proposals as a compromise and urges
that as the British are willing to
make concessions respecting big ships,
the others ought to be ready to make
corresponding concessions as regards
submarines and destroyers.
The Telegraph thinks the atmos-
phere of the conference up to now
has been favorable for practical re-
suits.

TOXIC, June 22.--Editorials in
Toxic newspapers today show no
optimism concerning the outcome OF
the naval reduction conference at
Geneva. The Nichi Nichi, Asahi, Hochi,
Kokumin and Jiji-which are the lead

decision not to accept a 5--5-3 ratio,

number of representative newspapers

equality in auxiliary vessels with
Great Britain and the United States.

the subject in spirit of fairness.
The Jill hopes for favorable compro-

This action was deeply resented,
not only because of it's nature. but
because it was felt that M. Wander

sonal feelings to bear upon official
relationships. Later the Belgian
minister, it Is charged, refused to
attend a reception to a committee of
Italian war wounded who visited
Brussels.
Another allegedly anti-Italian act
occurred during the celebration at
Brussels of May Day, when M. Van

which anti Fascist Italians spoke.
This was interpreted as official coun-
tenancing on his part of anti
FaScism.
Charges Fascist Propaganda.
Recently, in answering an inter-
pellation in the Belgian chamber by
the Catholic Deputy Sinzot, M. Van
dervelde explained his non-attendance
at the reception to the war-wounded
by saying it was not his duty as for
eign minister to attend, and adding
that the Italians although truly war
heroes, were acting in a political
capacity in Belgium as propagandists
of Fascism.
The Italian press has frequently
complained of late of various small
incidents in the Belgian chamber
which have been interpreted as dem
onstrating NJ. Vandsavelde's anti
