LONDON (N.A.N.A).-In Compton,

of it and lovely rose garden on the

Limnerslease is its name, and here
more than anywhere else must the
shades of the great artists of last CEN

which G.. F. Watts had built to his own
design at the end Of the last century,
and where he lived till his death. and
was visited by Burne- Jones, Morris,
Millet and many others.
| Mrs. Watts, who still lives in the
house, has a sort Of art collectaon of
her husbands masterpieces there, and
she has allowed no change to be made
in the studio since his death. Even his

studies, including lovely portrait Of
Mrs. Lindsay, and an early design for
the Sir Galahad, which is now in the
school chapel at Elton.
On an easel stands Watts wonderful
self portrait, which he executed in order
to explain a matter of technique to
red skull cap and dark red cloak, and
accentuates his striking likeness to
Titan.
The walls of the room are deep red

Some of the low-ceilinged rooms at
Limnerslease are beautifully worked In

this. She it was, too, who designed
lovely frieze round the fireplace. The

CAT-EAR TELEPHONE
MAY AID THE DEAF
Two Princeton Scientists
Demonstrate Theories of
Hearing Should Be Revised.
Nv the Associated Press.

=
PRINCETON, N. j., october 27.--
With the help of cat, sound ampli-
fer ard a telephone receiver, two
Princeton scientists have demonstrated
that existing theories of hearing need
revision, If not complete reconstruction.
They talked into the ear of live,
but unconscious cat. The cats audi
tory nsrve transformed this human
speech into electrical impulses that
were then carried over 60 feet of wire
into a soundproof room so feet distant
and there became audible as ordinary
telephone sounds. The cats nerve
supplied its own homemade electricity
and with it operated the wire.
These men, prof. Ernest G. Viewer
and DR.. Charles w. Bray, II, OF the
psychological laboratory, report to the
National Academy of Sciences:
Speech was transmitted with great
fidelity. Simple commands, counting
and the like were easily received. In
deed, under good conditions the sys-
tenn was employed as a means OF COM
munication between operating and
soundproof rooms. A simple tone
sounded into the cats ear gave rise
to that tone in the receiver. The OBJ
server was able to detect no difference
in pitch between this tone and the
original stimulus"
The circuit was made by placing one
end of a wire on the cats auditory
nerve near the medulla of its brain
and grounding the other end on the
cats body after completing the circuit
through the amplifier and telephone
receiver.
The cat-ear phone worked only when
Connected with the auditory nerve; no
other nerve would do; and phone serv-
ice ceased with the cats death.
The new thing discovered in hear
ing is that the frequency of sound i'm
pulses seems to control the frequency
of nerve impulses transmitting the
sound. This frequency Of impulse in
other sensory nerves has depended on
intensity of the stimulus, something
quite different. Frequency is the speed
of vibration governing pitch.
If the experiments lead to a correct
theory of hearing, ear socialists will
have definite basis for attacking
problems of deafness.

DANVILLE, Va. October 27.-With
the lapse Of exactly week since the
union forwarded a letter to H. r. Fitz-
gerald, president of the Riverside and
Dan River Cotton Mills, asking for a
conference and with no reply yet re-
ceived, it appeared today that the latest
effort of the United Textile Workers OF
America toward settlement Of the
strike had failed.
Letter Signed by Operatives.
The letter, which bore the signature
Of several mill operatives, stated that
conference was sought for last Wednes-
day in conformity with Mr.. Fitzgeralds
suggestion that he would be glad to
meet his own employees to hear their
grievances at any time. which appeared
in an advertisement recently that was
paid for by stockholders. In this con-
nection it is recalled that Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has said that he would never con-
fer with the union or any representa-
tive of it, but would be glad to receive
group of his own erploves as such.
The strike entered its fifth week to-
day with the strikers encouraged fol-

Charges Under Cover Methods.
German told the members that the
local union is stronger than it ever has
been and that If the denial by the mills
OF the liberty of the workers to organize
is the cause of industrial strife here,
the workers will accept 1t. He assailed
what he termed under-ccver methods Of
not only the local mills. but manufac-
turers elsewhere, in joining hands In
beating textile workers into submission.

| ACCORD ON NAV|ES|
American and British DipIo-
/ mats Trying to Bring Two
Nations Together.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

President Hoover and Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald made only a short
reference in their radio speeches this
morning, on the occasion of the ratifi-
cation of the London naval agreement,
to France and Italy.
They both expressed the sincere hope
that France and Italy will within a
short time be able to find a solution to
their naval problems and join the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan by signing the naval pact.
President Hoover and Ramsay Mac
Donald have both made it clear that
there can be no greater security in the
world than the cessation Of the mad
armament race.
Italians COnciliatory.
What the President of the United
States and the Prime Minister of Great
Britain said in a few words over the
radio today has been told at greater
length to the Italian and French gov
ernments by American and British
diplomats in Paris and Rome. Ever
since it was officially announced that
the last naval negotiations between the
Italian and the French experts have
failed, American and British diplomats
have been endeavoring to bring the two
countries together. The Italians, 1t is
stated, are showing ccnciliatory spirit.
They are naturally compelled, for rea-
sons of national prestige. to mairtain
the claim of theoretical parity with
France, but are willing to give a very
wide Interpretation to that word.
Italy is in a difficult economic po-
sition and the naval race with France
unduly draining her treasury. Further
more the Italian financial experts are
doubtful whether the finances of the
country will be able to stand for a
long time the strain OF heavy ex-
penditure on the navy. For this rea-
son the Italian government appears
anxious to listen to the counsel OF the
American and British diplomats and
show a good deal OF moderation ana
conciliatory spirit.
Premier Tardieu Adamant.
The same cannot be said for the time
being for France. The British and
American diplomats who have approach
ed Prime Minister Andre Tardieu have
found him adamant. His answer has
given them so far little encouragement.
France, he tells them, is willing to re-
duce her ornaments and cooperate
with the United States and Great
Britain if the French slogan of "se-
curity, arbitration and disarmament" Is
accepted Security must precede ar
bitration and arbitration must precede
disarmament. These three important
demands ccnnot be inverted. What the
French prime minister wants is to force
the hands of the British to give France
a Mediterranean pact and the United
States to give France and Great Britain
a consultative pact.
In spite of this attitude of the French
government, well informed quarters
ment will eventually realize the. great
responsibility it undertakes by block
ing the disarmament move of the rest
of the world 1t Is hoped that the
American delegation to the Prelimi-
nary Disarmament Conference will be
able to induce the French to show a
more liberal spirit toward Italy and
agree to a solution of the naval prob
lem acceptable to the Italian nation.

President Hoover's address in today's
international radio broadcast, celebrat-
ing the depositing of Instruments OF
ratification of the London naval treaty,
follows:
To-day the governments of Great
Britain, Japan and the United States
have deposited the instruments Of rati-
fication to the London naval. treaty.
Prime Minister Macdonald and Premier
Hamaguchi are joining with me in
speaking to you to mark the significance
of this realization of further advance
ment in the worlds hopes of prac-
teal limitation of naval armament.
1.-THE task begun 10 months ago for
the limitation of all types of naval
vessels thus draws to a close. The naval
powers have bridged obstacles and
achieved an understanding to relieve
their peoples of excessive naval burdens.
Three of these powers commanding the
great part of the worlds naval forces
have turned away from rivalry in ar
maments, and disproportionate growth
of their navies is now prevented by an
arrangement founded in common sense.
Aids Security Of World.
'This REIMBURSEMENT of competitive
building among the three great naval
powers, with its consequent contribution
to the security of the world, is the great
est significance of this treaty. If the
limitations now established can be
maintained, we may look forward with
assurance to the fact that future con-
ferences will find it easier to bring about
further steps in reduction. 1t. Is the
fervent prayer OF right-thinEing men
and women of this generation that the
international confidence which has been
so patiently and single mindedly achieved
may endure so that the agreements
which have been reached may live and
be extended. Never again must race in
naval ornaments be allowed to develop.
France and Italy are not as yet full
partners in the London treaty. They
have been making active efforts within
the last few months to arrive at COM
plete understanding. The people of
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States, and indeed the peoples OF the
whole world, have watched those efforts
and confidently hope that patience and
good will may yet lead to a solution.
1.-The sessions of the five powers at
London have served to strengthen mu-
tual trust and confidence among them
and they give me assurance that the
hopes of the world will not be disap-
pointed. 1t is pleasure to facilitate
the peoples Of Great Britain and Japan
and the people of this country upon
the conclusion Of sound and reason
able agreement between them, fair to
all and dangerous to none, which has
been accepted by each nation as afford
| ing adequate protection and which. subs
/ stitutes for suspicion and competition
mutual trust, good will and confidence.
Let this day fill us with thanks and
inspire US to go forward with the
courage of hope"

DETROIT, Mich, October 27.-Virgil
Jordan, economist for the McGraw-Hill
Corporation of New York, blamed "old-

tariff attitudes and lack of manage
ment for current business depression in
an address today before the annual
Fall meeting of the industrial property
division of the National Association of

Jordan said that restriction Of pro-

quarter, because it is based on "the.
myth Of overproduction He said there
are no underlying factors in the eco
nomic situation of the country which
would have prevented recovery from the
first effects of the stock market crash
or which will make new levels of pros
perity impossible in the future The
difficulty rests, he said in "the Ameri-
can state of mind" The theory of over
production he termed false and vi
cious conclusion"
The future of prosperity, Jordan said,
would be based on continuation of
the higher living standards which Gre
ated prosperity In the past decade.
