lar projection, from the vaulted roof.
In making the announcement OF the
fall some papers attributed the cause
to vibration produced by the street
traffic without.
Microscopical examination of frag-
ment of material taken from the point
at which the fallen cusp was sus-
pended showed that at some previous
time there was a fracture which had
been built up with mortar without
reinforcement. The fall of the cusp
is attributed to this cause. Work is
now being carried out with the object
of ascertaining whether any of the
other cusps are in a similarly dan
gerouS condition.
The news is contained in the annual
report of the Building Research Board,
and many interesting examples are
given of the highly diversified labors
of this body
the masonry of certain buildings was
being attacked by boring insect.
In the two buildings concerned it
was found that certain blocks of
sandstone were punctured with holes.
in which pupa cases were discovered.
The matter seemed serious until the
explanation came. A mason bee" 4"
of the wild and solitary type, had
made the holes in pursuance of its
habit OF boring into compact sand or
very soft rock for the purpose of pro-
viding a net for pollen. The damage
was of very limited kind, and is not
regarded with much concern.
Much work is done in regard to the
acoustics of buildings. and one inter-
esting sequel to this is that the League
of Nations in its acoustic design for
the Assembly Hall at Geneva has
embodied practically all the recon-
mendations of a special board COM
mittee.
OF other inquiries for assistance one
was unusual. for it related to the in
adequate distribution of sound from
the bells of a Ginning clock that is
installed in the dome of a public
building.

CLEE CLUB TO GIVE 4 SHOWS
 IN THIS CITY
Diversified Programs Se- lected for Matinees
 and Evenings

When the announcement was made at the University of Wash ington early last Fall that the Glee Club would make trip to Alas ka, there was record turnout of aspirants. It has been seven years since the organization has made a trip of this kind.
 It is no easy task to get to be a member of the Glee Club. At try out time each aspirant must sing a solo, accompanied by an expert If he successfully negotiates his trial he has an excellent chance of becoming member, but if his voice cracks into a high falsetto from a low base, his possibilities register negatively.
 As soon as the definite person. mel has been decided upon, the training season is on. Daily re- hersals and extra sessions on Sat urdays and Sundays make up the routine of practice The club fi- nally weeded out from an organi- zation of forty to about half that number.
 The men whose voiced were ad- judged good enough to be present. ed as representative of the Uni versity of Washington will be heard here, when the organization puts on regular road show program at the Capitol Theatre in Juneau.
 Although members of the Uni versity of Washington Glee Club are picked for their singing ability and the reputation of that organ ization has been built through its splendid renditions of group num- bers, Director Charles w. Lawrence believes it putting in enough com edy to make the show a diversified one.
 This year he picks his programs along the lighter line from three rolicking features. One is Lloyd Simpsons interpretation of Mae West; another is a take-off on a symphony orchestra, which is led by Professor Lawrence himself, a stunt that has never failed to pro- yoke continuous laughter; the third number is a burlesque on Grand Opera performance, also a mirth maker of the highest type
 The Glee Club show will be seen here Saturday and Sunday, March 31 and April l at the Capitol Theatre, with matinees both days Seats are all reserved and may be secured at the box office of the Capitol Theatre.
