new DEVICE
TALKS LIKE
HUMAN BEING
Sir Richard Paget's Invention
Demonstrated at Meeting
Of Physicists

Washington, April 21.-(AP)-
A mechanical voice spoke to the
members Of the American Physicist
society at their annual dinner last
hight after = day devoted to the diff
.icult business Of canvassing recent
achievements in their active field Of
esearch.
"Rather!" It said, with the excess
lively broad "a" attributed by
American comedians to countrymen
# its creator, Sir Richard Paget,
,oted British inventor and physicist,
who was q guest Of the society and
manipulated the device.
"Hello, London, are you there !"
it asked, a little later, and then ex.
,laimsd:
20 Lila, I love you'll"
Sir Richard explained that his in
rention conformed to the laws of
,hysics Is applied natura!l'' in hu.
nan speech through control, by
movement Of the tongue and lips, Of
The resonance developed in the
mouth by the action Of the vocal
cords.
Bellows in Place Of Lungs
A bellows, operated by the foot,
axes the place Of the lungs, and an
,rgan reed serves % the vocal
lords. The function Of the mouth
and tongue Is duplicated in several
ways. A cardboard tube may be
used, with the tongue action sup
piled by manipulation Of disk tit
ted on the end Of . rod. Different
tones are obtained with . pinched
rubber tube moistened on the inside,
but skillful hands and fingers ap-
piled to the end Of the reed makes
the most effective substitute for
the natural organs.
The device is the product Of . long
study Of the physics and mechanics
Of human speech, which, Sir Richard
observed, is the combination Of two
arts-the emotional art Of grunting
and the Intellectual artof pantomime
to convey ideas by movement OF the
tongue and lips. For examples, he
called attention to such root words
rs cup" and ''down." In tie for
mer, the tongue and chin move up
ward while the speaker grunts, while
n enunciating the latter. the pan
tomime is reversed.

 Tests as,d investigs tiona by Le Petit Frovencal of Marseilies. one of the influential papers of France. have satisfied that newspaper that that the rank and file of readers have better taste than was supposed.
 Most French newspapers run two serial stories and sometimes more, but these have rarely been taken from the classics.
 Le Petit Provencsl stirred up some religious agitation recently by announcing 1t would run Andre Cornelis,' one of the best novels Of Paul Bourget of the Academic Fran cslse. lt was during this efferves cencc that approval of worthwhile novels was so pronounced that the newspaper start questioning the public and determining by circuIa- . tion figures what most of the peo- pie really thcught,fA g result not only are noted authors works being published but the newspaper is get ting strong response to offerings of standard novels by Hugo, Merimee.

Tells Muy Ann About Visit ol Noah Count
(Contributed)
Dear Mary Ann:

Dear Mary Ann:
 I can haeily wait to tell you who p'a4 talking to last evening and when I mentions. his name I hope yoVli remember that you're a lady and not 'augh yourself ovta dignity and into mysteries or some thing. It happened after I'd come home. from shopping where I'd been holding my cwn in the thick of the mob, much to everybody's discomfort including my own. and had dropped. into chair with . bottle of liutment 10 relieve my weary limbs when the phone rings. Not knowing who 1t was I si,- swered and when recognized the voice I was go astonished vol. coulda knocked me cold with luke warm hot-dog. It was none other than Noah Count. my old steady flame who ceased to be even tiny flicker since the day we had . movie date and he kept me waiting in g. downpour for an hour on ac- count cf him forgetting which street corner he was to meet me
 With his usual smooth line he asks me how am I feeling these days and before I can answer he tells me he's dying 10 see me again. Without wasting time I tells him that don't make dates with guys that is dying. l regrets that my conversational abilities is limited but they's nothing like doing the best with what you have and so gath CTS all my English tn one. place. takes aim and lets go at the target.
 Listen, no account" says. win. try like. and how, remove your last years misfit derby and let this soak into the weak spot You may mean what you're talking abou, but what you're talking about don't mean e thing to me. You may be h live wire to some dizzy blond but you're only short circuit to me. That perfect vacuum which you calls your think tank is about three feet below sea level and aint any more use to you than feather duster in a iron foundry.
 You're has-b.en and c3nF work any comeback stunt on me. If you think I don't. know of the times you was out with other cu- tios while l was home parked in parloy chair cS loneson," as th" only old maid If flapper's coming out party, waiting ,mpatlently for you 10 show ID. then you're lumber than I've been giving VOL credit. which ,s plenty.

 You're a delight to yourself but you ain't any book of laughter to me. If your bean ain't already in the freezing state you'd realize that the blank cartridge expression on your map has never given me a thrill, unless you calls a nightmare 3 thrill" We'll. Mary. I coulda given him . lot more useful information about himself. only I rups outs words which have already got the full meanings attached.
 He got kinda peeved when I'd spilled my line and says that if that's all think of him he may as well collect a few good sized :,ud puddles. jump in. and forget 10 como up for air in time to do him any good. He's just goofey enough about me to do as he threatens and I'd hate 10 be the cause of him getting his garments water-logged and so tells him I'll think 1t over about the date and let him know sooner or later. mostly later.
 Anyways, Mary. guess ! shouldn't be too hard on him be- cause he means well, even though he don't always act that way. Noah ain't such a bad bimho but is like the rest of the Rcmeos that's sl- ways throwing out their manly chests (also the bull, 57 varieties) but somehow manages to hang onto the pocketbooks. I've often had to remind him to remove the strangle Hold and quit choking the bankroll.
 Why give it the cramps when they's plenty of room for circula- tion? I don't mean fella has to tlow a weeks wages every time he's with some lovir' mamma but tt wouldn't do some of em any harm 10 scatter a little sugar now and then to sorta help life move more sveetly Well, Mary, the ink and the lights is getting kinda low and so I'll hafta end this letter ss they's just enough left for the period.
 As ever.

Author S Manuscript Must Not Be Seized

The court based its decision "on the fact that manuscript must be re- garded as 3 production which the author holds secret. and is inviolable like his thought or conscience until the moment he publishes it."
 The ruling arose from the attempt of a young Japanese pcetess. Kidcu Yamata, to seize a manuscript on the life of the Fourteenth Century poetess Komachi completed by the Belgian writer. Jean Nolesve. Miss Yamata and NJ. Nolesve had begun work on the manuscript in Tokio some years ayo M.

Commenting ,n this news, the 'Demokratischer zeitungsdienst'' writes: While it is not at all sVr- prising that women seek to gain the political recognition to which by reason of their numbers and social they are entitled. their leaders are sufficiently clever to realize that the formation of a dis tinct women's party would hardly be of the means of ensuring the in,- posing feminine representation in the Reichstag that is desired.
 We are therefore inclined, to in- terpret the rumor of the projected political womsns party rather in the light of a warning to the other political parties in future not to side-track women when choosing their parlia mentarv candidates"
