requiring them to sign a pledge to vote
for Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic
presidential nominee. was made here
last night by Col. Henry w. Anderson
of Richmond in an address in behalf OF
Herbert Hoover, Republican standard
bearer.
Col. Anderson said that while he did
not believe Virginians are guilty to an
aprreciable extent of religious intoler-
ance, he offered this as an example OF
political intolerance. He urged the
voters to vote their convictions, and
you will always vote right"
A political realignment Is taking
place, he said, whereby the Democratic
party has no presidential candidate.
but Tammany has. Likewise the Old
Guard Republicans have no candidate.
For the first time in years the
Republican party is national liberal
party" He urged the election Of
Hoover on the ground that experience
fits him for the Office more than it does
Smith.
About 500 persons heard the address,
delivered in the Beverley Theater. Col.
Anderson was the Republican candidate

This table indicated that during the

able for all types Of building, the de-
mand for ID row houses, t2) detached
houses, and 90 apartments and semi

third of the total demand within the
District. This may be considered to
indicate the modern trend OF local de-

Note that the acres used per year for
row houses and detached houses are, re-
spectively, 57.6 and 205.8. These tables
show that there are 1854 acres for row
houses. This Is supply which will
last for 1877 years at the 1920-27 rate
and will house about $4,000 people.
AS stated above the demand for de-

ATLANTA, Ga, October 30.-Science
has tackled the human voice, and out
of the laboratories have come sound
speech for the dumb and sound code
which may be used readily to replace
all codes used heretofore in war and
peace.
An artificial larynx has been made to
do the work Of the human vocal chords
and voice box In those persons who have
found it necessary to have this organ
removed through a malignant disease,
said DR.. Sergins Q. Grace, assistant vice
president of the Bell Telephone Co. and
scientist in the New York City lahora-
tories OF the company.
He demonstrated the instrument at a
session OF the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers held here last
night. These persons who lack a voice
box. DR.. Grace pointed out, have no
further use for their throat as far as
breathing or speaking is concerned, but
breathe through small artificial outlet
just about at the collar bone. They are
unable to make a sound through their
mouth
So for the benefit Of these persons
the artificial voice box was made. It

an enlargement and then a continual
ton of the tube, in all about eight
inches long. If air is forced through
the longer tube. the thing emits a sound
something like that of hand, organ.
But then If the other end is placed
in the mouth and the lips and mouth
are formed as in speaking, words them
selves become audible and are clearly
distinct.

that case the person carries his voice
in his pocket and takes it out when
ever he wishes to speak.
Or, on the other hand, he may have
his organ that science built provided
with small bellows.
At first, DR.. Grace explained, these
voice boxes" made only a monotone,
but now they are made so that an ac-
compliShed person even may sing with
them, not to mention talking over the
telephone. The scientist said that sew
eral hundred people now use this means
of talking.
Then DR.. Grace set up loud speak
ing set and spoke into the transmitter.
Unintelligible expressions came out of
the speaker. When they were passed
through laboratory instruments they
came out normal again.

out Of the loud speaker came the word

came out "crinkanope."
It was explained that words are ex-
pressed in vibrations. The number Of
vibrations per section determines the
word. The instruments used. inverted

tally unintelligible words issued from

Corridor L. Jones, Racing Home to

His eagerness to hear the campaign
speech Of one of the presidential candi-
dates caused the arrest last night of
Corridor L. Jones, 3735 r street, for ex-
ceeding the speed limit.
Policeman M. I. Bridges of the sew

down Wisconsin avenue at an excessive
speed and started in pursuit. The mo-

street, which is partially under con-
struction, so fast that the policeman
claimed he was unable to catch him
until Jones turned into an alley in the
rear of his home.
Pull up there. what's the big hurry?"
inquired Policeman Bridges.

be non-partisan in the enforcement of
