Here's a bit of information which
might be OF value to many
The modern pipe organ has pass
ed from what might be called the
mechanical stage of development 10
the electrical, with great improve
ment of its technical and artistic
possibilities. Electricity, first used
TO supply air 10 the pipes, now
operates the keys, pedals. stops and
controls of the console. This allows
the console and pipes TO be widely
separated with the advantage that
the performer can get a perspec-
tive on the sound by having its
outlets at a distance from him in
different parts of the auditorium.
and consequently having the sound
come to him from all directions,
In radio reception too, non-di-
rectional propagation of sound Is
most satisfactory, and this can be
achieN ed by separation of receiver
and speaker paralleling the separa-
ton of console and ipes in the case
of the organ. Radio reproducers are
either built into a receiver cabinet
or are separate or external. The eN-
ternal speaker is not contained
within the receiver cabinet but Is
| placed on a table, shelf, on the wall,
or in the case of a pedestal type
| on the 11oor.
| A potent reason for divorclng the
| loud speaker from the console cab
| met is that a built-ln speaker is
very directional, the greatest lnten-
sity OF sound being produced direct
| " opposite the mouth OF the speak
er with the intensities decreasing or
either side of this point. In the
case of the portable cone, While the
greatest intensity is created direct
" opposite its point, the strength o.
sound decreases but slightly OF
either side of this point and does
not cease at the speaker itself but !:
propagated from the other side o.
the speaker, also. The portable cone
is practically non directional. INT
listener can sit at any point OF th'
room and get practically the SAINT
intensity of sound.

fifth consecutive 100 per cent meet
ing. The percentage attendance of
members from May 18th, 1927, when
the club first started, to December 1st
1928, has been 95.775. This is indeed
q record that the Smyrna Rotary Club
may well be pleased with, especially
50, since it proves conclusively that
the members are willing to work and
sacrifice their time for the barterment
Of their organization. As matters
now stand, Club member would not
miss meeting if he could, and really
could not if he would. 1t is hoped
that the Club may establish a record
of fifty-two consecutive 100 Ger cent
meetings by next February, and that
the other clubs in the 50th Rotary Dis
trict will be inspired to greater efforts
along this line. The meeting last
Thursday evening was presided over

MOVEMENT FOR BRIDGE OVER
DELAWARE RIVER GAINS PACE
PLAN FOR SPAN TO CROSS RIVER
BELOW WILMINGTON To JERSEY
Bill Has Already Passed the Senate
and Hope is Entertained to Get 1t
Through the House This Session

With the cOnvening of Congress.
the officials of the Delaware New
Jersey Bridge Corporation, seeking to
construct bridge over the Delaware
River somewhere south of Whining
ton and New Jersey, are active.
George A. Casey, president of the
bridge corporation, returned from
Washington, D. c., Friday afternoon,
where he conferred with United States
Congressman from Delaware, Robert
9. Houston, who has just been re-
elected, relative to the mill. Con-
gressman Houston, Mr.. Casey said, IS
squarely behind the movement for a
bridge and promised to give it his full
support. Congressman Houston holds
an important post on the Rivers and
Harbors Committee of the lower
House. The bill was passed by the
Senate at its last session. It was put
through by Senator Thomas F. Bay
ard, of Delaware and will be voted up
on by the House shortly. Mr.. Casey
said last week that while the oppon-
ents of the bridge at Philadelphia
are very active, he felt confident that
if the people of Delaware would back
the project with letters to their rep
restntatives in Congress and by other
means, Wilmington could not be de-
MED bridge. At the time the bill
passed the Senate, great stir was
raised by Philadelphia interests, who
contended that such a bridge would
be menace to navigation on the Del
aware both in time of peace and war.
Their criticism were silenced by the /
hackers of the bridge, who submitted /
plans to construct the span high 1
enough so that it would never inter
fere with the progress of ships up OF
down the river and by great army
engineer, who in an interview, declar-
ed it next to an impossibility for an
enemy to destroy the bridge in case
Of war.
