Experiments at the University OF

John II, Muyskens, assistant pro
tessor Of phonetics who conducted
some of the experiments. says:
Experiments in the speech lab
oratory here have demonstrated the
rhythm between speaker and audi
cEce. A number of individuals have
been linked to pneunlogruph. an
instrument that makes records of
breathing While all is still the
breathing graph records many diff
ferences. sometimes as many as
there are people in the experiment.
Someone begins to speak. and soon
all in the experiment are breat h
ing with the same short intake
and the long eAhaIation that is
the usual breath record of person
making an address.
y am under the impression that
1t is the increase in the intensit Y
of this rhythm tina moves crowds
to high pitch of emotion when

Explaining this reference 10 the

"A child" he says, docs not say
of its association of the word with

where Griffin claims he received
sufficient votes to insure his cleo

cause Of the purported failure Of
judges OF the WeSlaco box to seal
an envelope flap containing returns.
Counsel for Griffin sought today
to obtain a judgment ordering the
commissioners court and County
Judge A. w. Cameron of Hidalgo
county to meet and check the re-

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 19.-[P)-
Four hundred feet of the main Mis-

engineers today based their hope for
preventing a huge crevasse on a
banquette hurriedly Topped around

1t was at the same place that the
dyke gave way April 20, 1927, sweep
ing the government launch Pelican
through the crevasse and carrying

The situation was regarded as Sc

the fresh dirt on which the Ban
quette is built would be unable to
stand the great pressure the Missis-

it.
"A break at Knowlton would result
in inundation Of thousands of acres
Of the richest plantation land In
Arkansas. Water from such a Gre
vase would flow back into the Ar

the backwater, making it deeper
