 Their initial convention opens the first natioally organized scientific drive not only against unnecessary noise. but to combat deafness and to study all forms of acoustics. The aim is for fundamental discoveries which later may be applied in prac- tical fashion.

In consequence of these widely observed reactions many acoustical workers have sus- pected that the annoyance cxpcri- cnccd by workers as result of noise was function of pitch as well as of intensity.

 Most commercial sound absorb ing materials have their highest ef- ficiency between 256 and 204S cy- cles. while it appears to be the pitches below and above these that are the most annoying and obvi- ously should be reduced the most. '

EAST HAS HOPE IN
 KENTUCKY DERBY
Dr. Freeland Wins Preakness Over High Class Field

New York, May II R-The 1929 preakness is q matter of history but out of the thirty-ninth renewal Of the historic Maryland turf classic has come one ray of hope for the east in the Kentucky derby to be run at Churchill Downs next Satur. day.
 Dr. Freeland. son Of Light Bri- gade-Toddle from the w. J. Salmor stable, yestt rday won the preaknoss and thereby laid claim as worthy challenger to the more highly touted western derby. candidates. In win- ming the big chestnut colt. which ran highstrung to a head finish in the Pimlico futurity last year, lookc d even better at the end than at the start of the mile and three sixteenth h route of the preakness. AS two- year. old Dr. Freeland was a srea t finisher and turfman today are claiming the derby distance to he made for the Tom Healy trained colt. which yesterday beat off the challenge of eleven of the casts best three-year olds.
 But in his challenge to the west
 Dr. Freeland will not be alone. Minotaur, which finished second. the Nut. Essare and Beacon Hill are slated as sure starters in the derby. Mir otaur. called the glori- fled selling platter, finished only . scant length behind the Salmon colt. A year ago Charles Graffasnini gave $2.5OO for Minotaur. grabbing hi:n out of claiming race in New York. he won $25.00O during the year and yesterday preceding the race. be- came the property of John k. Thompson of Chicago for a rcputcd
 price of $40 900.
 From 15? nominations for the derby the field has dwindled to where the starters may be picked from list of less than thirty. Failure of Earl Sande's Hernita"" | to show anything in the preakness practically made sure that the little wner-trainer-rider would not send a horse to the post. Whether the
 Rancocas stable of Harry F. Sir clair will go after it's second derby
 victory depends on tie decision of Sam Hildreth regarding the condi- ton Of Simba. which has not been ! out this season. Leucite which fin ished in the truck in the preaknass and Mei Foo. the other two Rancocas
 eligibles. have failed to show derby
