Early reports last night said that

Fredericksburg police and private

his body disposed OF to avoid prose

ORATORY IN
CONGRESS

(From the Ncrth American Review
EDWARD EVERETT, indicated,
II in the Review of October, 1927,
that in the golden age of webster
and Clay popular esteem Of Con-
! gressional oratory was little diff
/ 5erent from that of today:
The Congressional eloquence of
America is, we think, in no high
repute among ourselves. We do
not refer merely to the habitua1
sarcasm or ridicule thrown upon
IT; mostly for the purposes of per.
sonal satire or party detraction.
To this kind of reproach every
part Of the machinery of a free
government is ever abnoxious.
Where the press is free, men will
Joke their political opponents, and
tbs English Parliament is as sadly
quizzed as the American Congress.
If classical authority be wanted,
:Pericles was the great butt of the
,sattrists Of his day. But we ap.
prehend that in America the mat
ter goes a little farther than this.
The debates in Congress appear to
US to be spoken disrespectfullv of
by many OF the judicious portion
OF the community: Of that portion
who really say less than they feel
ana think, and whose censure de-
serves to be listened to-"

ADJUSTING
ACOUSTICS

MOT the least Of the late Oscar
~ Hammerstein's contributions
to the American tkeater were his
solutions of the acoustical prob.
lens in his many theaters, de.
clares George Blumenthal in an
article in this weeks Liberty.
In erecting his buildings he. was
a genius" BIumenthal writes, He
was the first theater builder to
take note Of solving the problem
of acoustics.
This matter had puzzled theat-
rical men for many years" the
writer explains. But with his
inventive genius, Hammerstein
de1ved into the matter. He used
the roof and the proscenium arch
to further his ends, and sprinkled
the concrete foundations Of the
orchestra and balconies with pow
dered glass. His taste in archi-
lecture was sometimes criticised,
but his acoustics were beyond
reproach.
He designed his own buildings
and instead of first calling in an
architect he did just the reverse;
he planned his structures. and
later consulted the architect ON
technical problems
