big red house there and has
But this year there is more
commotion across the way than
ever before. Leading citizens
and citizenesses of the present
Administration are forever walk
ing in and out of the big front
door. Big cars with Govern
ment license plates are parked
double by chauffeurs who dare.
At least twice a week, police
men in we'll brushed uniforms
are stationed there to direct the
traffic. These are the days when
a big cream and blue flag flies
above the door, flowers appear
in the bay windows and the
steps are crowded with lines OF
hurrying ladies.
The big red house with the
lively manner is the Women's
National Democratic Club. Now
you know why there is so much
to notice round about.
Prof. Tugwell lectured there
yesterday-the Prof. Rexford
Guy Tugwell, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture, and chair
man of the Department of Eco
nomics at Columbia University
the most vivid member of the
Rooseveltian Brain Trust.
For days before the luncheon,
anxious subscribers were told,
"Sorry, reservations closed. But
you may come and stand, after
luncheon. They came and stood,
dozens of them, for Prof. Tug
well talks like John Stuart Mills,
looks like Rudolph Valentino
and has dimples.
The Democratic Club rooms
were cheerful last week with
hospitality for Mrs. Garner,
wife of the Vice President, and
Mrs. Rainey, wife of the Speaker
of the House. Mrs. Garner and
Mrs. Rainey stood in a smiling
handShaking line with Mrs.
Charles S. Hamlin, president OF
the club. Mrs. Hamlin always
makes any receiving line par
ticularly pie asant. Graceful
Marvin Breckenridge, who does
her hair like Katharine Hep
burn, introduced the guests.
So many guests came. Mrs.
Blair Banister, Assistant Treas
urer of the United States, and
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, ar
rived hand in hand. Practically
twins they are. In spirit, if
not architecturally. Mrs. John
w. Price came with her sister
from Baltimore. Mrs. Price was
in brown velvet with a small
hat pulled down mySteriously
but effectively over the right
eye. Mrs. Price was looking
particularly smart. And why
not? She is Inka Kabler-by
the sign on her studio door.
Mrs. Marcus w. Coolidge, wife
of the Senator from Massachu-
sets, poured tea industriously
until Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler
arrived. Pretty Mrs. James T.
Newton who has been managing
teas at the club this winter,
stood near the table, ready to
produce substitutes at the tea
trays at the allotted time. The
Democratic Club speciality,
cookies made in the shape of
donkeys, were eaten in a great
rush. Republican ladies, turned
Democratic during this light
hearted administration, were in
good appetite.
Mrs. Robert Gates, always
nice to see, came in and said
her husband was around some
where. It was no surprise to
her old friend, Mrs. Alexander
M. Bull, and me. Wherever

QuieteSt Dresser's Suit Is Loud
When Super-SOund Detector Listens
By HOWARD W. BLAKEsLEE

by HOWARD w. BLAkESLEE
tAssOciated Press Science EditOrl
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. A.
The fact that suit of clothes
creaks with every movement of
the body is revealed by a super
sound detector at the Harvard
university physics laboratory.
When this supersonic listener is
turned on in a room perfectly
quiet to the ear, the air is filled
with noises. They are super
sounds, air waves vibrating at
10000 or more second, too high
to be audible to the human ear.
Silence Is Its Racket
The noises arise apparently
from every kind of motion, how
ever slight. Among these super
sounds the creaking of a good
suit of clothes is among the
noisiest. Stand in front of the
mechanical listener and slowly
bend one elbow.
"Grrump," goes the racket of
the flaxing fabric and keeps up
this sound as long as the arm is
in motion.
Light a match, and above the
soft flare which is audible to the
ear the supersonic instrument
picks up another noise resembling
the distant rumble of street car.
Rubbing the palms of the hands
together emits a stream of these
sounds. Tearing piece of paper
sounds like far-off machine gun
fire.
Sh-hl Quiet, Please
A roomful of men trying to re-
main entirely quiet registers on
the supersonic device like the
noises of herd of elephants.
This detector, designed by DIR.
G. w. Pierce, Rumford professor
of physics, is part of an extensive
investigation of supersounds. In
the air these inaudible waves
travel farther than ordinary
sounds. They also are transmit
ted by the other substances which
carry normal sound, suggesting
possible uses for signalling. La
water they can be heard nearly 10
miles.
Music fermentation Possible
Music can be transmitted over
a specially arranged supersound
beam. For this DR.. Pierce uses
the inaudible sound of a Cation
whistle, which sends out vibrations
at the rate of about $4,000 a
second. When the listening de-
vice is tuned to the whistle it
makes a high, clear note.
But when a photograph record
is connected electrically with the
whistle, the clear note modulates
to carry faithfully every variation
in sound of full orchestra.
These modulations are all in
supersound frequencies, so that
the music cannot be heard except
when the listening device is cut in
to receive the whistle and reduce
its high frequencies to the audible
range.
