VOICE TESTS SHOW
BEST ROOM DESIGN
Speakers Found to Need Re-
fIecting Walls, Says Report
to Architects.

NEW YORK Op)-InvestigationS In
the science Of acoustics show that
speakers can best be hard in room
as dead as outdoors" Prof. F. r.
Watson of the University Of Illinois
reports to the American Institute OF
Architects.
"This," Prof. Watson says, "does not
mean absolute deafness, but the time
of reverberation should be less than
Is usually the case in auditoriums.
"It appears necessary to design suit
able rejecting walls about a speaker
or musician to secure the best genera
ton of sound"
In the generation of sound, he points
out, room surfaces act as acoustical
mirrors so that an image" behind
the wall says the same words at the
same time as the speaker.
Reflection Of Sound.
"Of course" he explains, this image
is imaginary, and its speech is nothing
more than the reflect sound. Each
reflection of sound furnishes such an
image, so that the auditor Is surrounded
by q host of image speakers at in
creaSing distances, all speaking the
same words as the speaker and at the
same time.
There may be as many as 200 TO
800 images, depending on the number
of fiections before sound dies out. Re-
fiected sounds reaching the auditor
within five-hundredths Of second af-
ter the direct sound are beneficial
while those arriving later than this
time produce a blurring.
"Since sound travels at the rapid
rate of 1870 feet per second at ordi-
nary room temperature, this means
that the reflected sound connot be more
than 56 feet behind the direct sound
and that the rejecting walls must be
near enough to the speaker to satisfy
this condition.
Best Conditions For Sound.
"That is, If the distance from the
image to the auditor is approximately
Sc feet more that the distance from the
speaker to the auditor the sound L

between these distances in more than

STRAW IS COMING
BACK INTO HOUSES
Builders Using 1t in Modified
Form for Residence
Construction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK.-Straw, for ages one Of
mans principal home-bunding mate
rials, is coming back into use, in modi-
fed form, for up-to-date house con-
struction.
How the research man has taken the
fire hazard and the flabbiness out OF
straw is described in report to the
Engineering Foundation by Sidney D.
Wells, chemical engineer, Of Quincy, Ill
Straw Adaptable.
1.-THE laboratory" he reports, learned
that the few raw materials, If any, are
as adaptable as straw to the manufac-
ture of insulating board. Its f1bers are
cemented together in long f1lamentS.
Board made from straw Is exception
ally strong, because the filamentous
characteristics are retained. After dry
ing 1t becomes rigid and strongly ce-
mented together.
1.-THE proportion Of air cells is so
large that the board weighs only 900
pounds per 1000 square feet. equivalent
to 1872 pounds a cubic foot. Eastern
white pine, a light wood, weighs "a
pounds a cubic foot.
Straw insulating board can be used
as sheathing on the outside Of build
ings or instead of lathing inside. Stucco
or plaster adheres more firmly than
to lath. It Is sound deadener. Its heat
insulating capacity is particularly use
full In roofs of some kinds OF factories
Treated as Wood.
"It can be painted or vanished,
coated with pitch or treated in almost
any other manner in which wood is
treated. It does not hold nails as well
as wood. but by using nails with large
heads driven into the framework OF
suitable material a structure can be
built shown by tests to be more rigid
than a building having standard one
inch wooden Sheathing. (The straw
board is n-Sixteenths Of an inch
thick.)
"It Is more easily dented than wood,
but when covered by plaster or Stucco
resistS indentation as well as plaster or
stucco on metal lath. It Is less readily
infiammable than wood and can be
made more resistant to fire by impreg-
nation"
Wells says that while the straw is
under digestion" for board making
valuable products Of other sorts may
be extracted. including acids and vari-
Gus alcoholS.

56 feet the reflect sound blurs the d.
rect sound.
Fortunately these later sounds are
weaker, since they come from greater
distances and have suffered loss Of
intensity by absorption at the walls.
If reflected from q curved wall, how
ever, the reflected sound may cause .
disturbing echo.
I'm the case Of music the effects are
somewhat different. It Is possible to
have acceptable music with several
tones existing at the same time, where
as IN speech it Is necessary to have
words spoken separately. Experiments,
however, show that rejecting boards
are advantageous for music as they
are for speech.
Musicians prefer to play or sing
near a wall--ard always with reso-
nant stage floor. without carpet"
An experimental theater for sound
tests IS being designed at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois.
