A|RMA|L AWARDS
ION MARCH z SCORED
"Proper Ones to Be Consid.
cred for Cancellation"
HoWes Tells Legislators.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Two airmail contracts let by Post
master General Brown on March Q were
named by w. w. Howes, Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, as proper ones
to be considered for cancellation" in
testimony on the independent Offices
appropriations bill reported to the
House yesterday by its Appropriations
Committee
Il do not claim there was anything
wrong about those contracts" he said,
"but do claim that 1t was a mighty
poor time to make them when We were
spending at a rate in excess Of the
amount appropriated and when those
contracts added about sl54,000 of ex-
pense."
He said one Of the contracts. amount
ing to $145,000, was "for service from
Milwaukee across Lake Michigan to
Grand Rapids and on to Detroit"
1T was given to the Northwest Air
ways Corporation and afterward was
sub-let by them to Kohler Brothers, -
Howes testified.
Second Amounts to SI05,OO0.
He named as the other contract let
on March "an extension from Man
dan, N. Oak, to Billings, Mont"
How much was that?" asked Chair
man Buchanan.
About 5,00o," Howes replied.
Then on the same day they took
of a line that ran from Green Bay,
Wis, and line from Rockford to Chi
cago, costing $48, 600 apiece, or about
100000 for the two"
The committee recommended that
President Roosevelt be granted author
ity to modify or cancel any air or ocean
mail contracts.
Representative Taylor, Democrat, of
Colorado, asked Howes If any other
contracts were let In 1888. Howes re-
piled there was "a large contract" let
February 10 which he wanted to get
rid Of"
Duplicated Line.
He said: That was line from Los
Angeles to San Francisco duplicating
the Lne already out there. The COM
pany that got the extension gave up
their existing contract for the route
from New York to Los Angeles that
they had at certain rates and accepted
a certificate.
THE cost is not any more than what
the company was formally receiving,
although they have increased the mile
age; but the actual expenditure on
that duplication out there on the West
Coast would be about $4,000 a year.
Howes said the Postmaster General
had the authority to adjust schedules
and rates and replied afirmatively when
Arnold. Democrat, of Illinois, asked if
''in that way you could strangle the
contracts?"
He said the department faced the
necessity Of "effecting a cut for the
next fiscal year of over $4,000. 900" on
airmail.
I'VE are now spending $4,000. 900
and we will have to cut down to S15,-
100000, which is the appropriation, -
Howes said.

The so-called "song of the North

ported, remains difficult to explain. DR..
Humphreys said. It Is difficult to be-
lieve, he pointed out, that any sound
actually can be heard from the lights
themselves, several hundred kilometers
above the earth's surface. The most
probable explanation is that it results
from the sudden freezing Of the mois-
ture in the breath of observers which
is attended by faint noise. 1t is re-
ported only on very cold nights, and has
about the same rhythm as human
breathing.
The little air sacs between the vocal
cords are largely responsible for the
carrying power Of the human voice, DR..
E. M. JoSephson Of the New York City
Health Department told the society
He has studied these air sacs, known
as ventricleS, by means of the X-ray.
"The X-rays proved" he said, that
many of the views and theories held
with regard to voice formation in the
past are false. The muscles of the
neck and the muscles of breathing are
shown to be as important as those Of
the larynx In the mechanism Of setting
the vocal cords for tone formation, con-
trary to the views previously held"
The voices carrying power, he said,
depends on changes in the size Of the
air sacs, which Is reeulated by nga-

SCHOOL FUNDS URGED
BY ALUMNI BOARD
impairment of Service Would Men
ace Health of Children, Says
Central Group.

The advisory board of Central High
School Alumni Association yesterday
petitioned Congress for ample funds,
within the means of the taxpayers of
our city" to insure that there shall be
no impairment Of the instrumentalities
for instruction in all the graded and
high schools of Washington"
Such impaired service, it was pointed
out, would menace the health of school
children through overcrowding and lack
Of sanitary conveniences. The petition
further requested that there be no cut
in the salaries Of teachers or admins
trative officers
The petition concluded by saying that
I'VE have every confidence that these
matters may be safely left to the good,
common sense OF our Congress. and we
speak Of them at this time only in the
fear that, in the worries of the moment.
these needs, which We deem among our
city's most essential ones, may receive
the most careful consideration.
The statement was signed by Charles
N. Bates, president of the alumni as
sociation.

Strange sounds in nature were de-
scribed before the Acoustical Society Of
America, meeting at the Bureau of
Standards Monday night, by DR.. Will
liam j. Humphreys of the Weather
Bureau.
These have given rise to many pop
ular superstitions, he said, but for the
most part are susceptible to scientific
explanation, although this Is sometimes
very complicated. Among the weird
sound phenomena, he said, are the So
called zones of silence" occasionally
encountered in war time when cannon
aiding takes place over level prairie or
over the sea. The sound will be heard
for 20 or 80 miles, after which it is in
audible for an equal distance. Then it
is heard again, just about as loud as
at first.
This can only be explained, he said,
as the result Of the sound rising and
being reflected back to earth at an
angle from the upper atmosphere. It
could only occur on rare occasions when
the atmosphere about 80 miles high Is
just as warm as at the surface of the
earth.
Thunder, DR.. Humphreys said, some
times actually sings producing dis
tinct, soft musical note. This is due,
he said, to a series of lightning dis
charges along the same path at nearly
equal time intervals so that successive
thunder pulses are synchronized. In
the same way, he said, can be ex-
planned sounds like the tearing Of pa
per or the frying Of bacon" heard
close to an object for bout . second
before It iS struck BY 4ghtning.
