Of the other studies Mr.. Townsend
maintains that the trouble with the
talkies today Is that they are "over-
engineered"
This brilliant young acoustical engi-
neer revealed o keen sense OF the arts

HIS theory should be interesting to ra-
dio observers and moviegoers alike.
Moreover, his views are interesting be-
cause his company is an almost wholly
controlled subsidiary of the Radio Cor
poration of America and q growingly
important factor In the motion picture
industry.
Need Sound Artistry"
A new school, Sound of Artistry"
growing perhaps out Of orchestra lead
Ing or stage directing, is seen as the
crying need of the talking motion pic
ture studios by Mr.. Townsend. The
trouble with the engineer who now sits
In the monitor room hanking the set
ting, according to Mr.. Townsend, is that
he has no sense of voice, tone and vol
ume values. Coming out Of O broad

put" at level that may be acceptable
for the radio, but wholly out of keeping
with the natural situations demanded
in the talkies.

it invigorates the entire oral tract.

BALTIMORE. Md. March 30.-The
market for native and nearby eggs rules
easy. with values shade lower under
heavy offering on the exchange. While
fairly good demand prevails, it is
centered on strictly fresh laid stock and
all offerings of this sort meet with
ready sale, but many of the arrivals
consist of held stock, which will not
grade firsts and all eggs of this sort
are slow sale even at discounts. The
market continues unsettled and prompt
and regular shipments are advisable
to realize top values of 261s q dozen
for firsts in free cases, the closing price
today, and % to "a for current receipts.
Duck eggs have been in more liberal
receipt the past week and as a conse-
quence the market rules easier and values
show decline of cents a dozen from
opening prices Monday. Prompt ship
ments even in single case lots advisable
to bring top values Of IS to 40 a dozen
as held eggs are not desirable and
have to be sharply discounted.

Gradually this will be so much frowned
on that It will be abandoned as O mat

the Federal Reserve and the Federal
Reserve has been selling acceptances and
Government securities. The average
cost of Stock Exchange money this
month was 91s per cent and for the
March quarter 812 per cent, which
means that the regular borrower has
had to pay his broker around 9la per
cent for the last three months and at
the same time witness net decline In
q majority of the stocks carried.
The market enters the Spring quar-
ter with the Federal Reserve deter
mined to break up the condition Of
overspeculation In stocks and to thaw
out the frozen" credit conditions that
exist in the interior of the country.
This foreshadows interesting events in
the period ahead.
