They vibrate SO fast
you can't hear them,
but supersounds will
do a job for all of us
THOST sounds, vibrating at such
~ terrific speed they cannot be
heard by human ears, are one OF
mans newest and most revolution
ary tools for making things faster.
cheaper, better. Soon they may ac-
tually help cure battling diseases.
Already intense sound waves are
being used to homogenize milk and
icecream, to kill germs in the can
ming of foods. Like terrier shaking
a rat, these supersounds ferret out
microbes in the tiniest places and
literally shake them to death.
In industry, ghost sounds passing
through vibrating steel bars detect
flaws that powerful X-rays cannot
reveal. In chemical laboratories, they
shake together unmixable substances,
change one chemical into another.
SmaoJ<eless Cities
BEFORE very long, according to
scientists with the United States
Bureau of Mines, supersounds may
even bring about smokeless cities
and fogless airports. Caught amid
intense sound waves generated by
machines on the roofs of buildings,
particles of vapor or smoke would
come together and fall to the ground.
Subersonics is the name given this
fast-growing science of sounds you
can't hear. They're inaudible be-
cause they vibrate at more than
5000 cycles second. the top range
for the human ear to detect.
But scientists didn't discover
their power overnight. Study of
supersounds began with research
on that lowliest of creatures:
the bat!
Back in 1894 an Italian named
Spallanzani crisscrossed room with
silk threads and then liberated a
number of blind bats. The bats
weaved through the maze of silk
threads, only rarely touching them.
Later an American found that
blind bats made an even better
showing than those with full vision.
But when their ears were plugged
with plaster of Paris, they bumped
into everything.
1t remained for two Harvard in
vestigators, Robert Galambos and
Donald Griffin, to discover the key.
Using wires instead of silk thread,
they found that bats when flying
emit short squeaks pitched at any
where from 10000 to 10000 vibra-
tions a second. These supersound
waves struck the wires, rebounded
to the bats sensitive ears, warning
him to shy away!

There's one drawback, though.
Supersonic depth recorders are so

If such devices fell into the hands of

EARL 'FATHA HINES CONES TO
NEW COLORED SKATING RINK
MONDAY NIGHT, JULY 10Th
Skating At Rink To
Begin Saturday,
July Goth

| Although he is little more thar
35 years old, Earl Hines has beer
known as "Fatha" to showfolk anc
to hot music fans for more thar
twenty years. In a recent inter
view, Hines, who brings his bano
to New Colored Skating Rink or
Monday night, July 20, for dance
explained this phenomenon.
Hines says that he came by the
name because of his religious de-
votion. The son of orthodox church
going parents, who played in the
| church orchestra, he was imbueo
with an appreciation of religion and
religious music from the time he
was four years old.
AS a consequence, his social life
was punctuated with comments OF
Biblical origin. In time, out OF
sheer respect for his deeply re-
ligious instincts, he became highly
regarded as a counsellor, even by
actors and musicians old enough
to be his parents.
Today, when he is one of the
nations foremost jazz musicians
swing pianist and leader of a hot
dance band, the name persists
Many jazz fans aren't sure when
they hear the name Earl Hines
but "Fatha'' Hines WE'LL every
body knows "Fatha" Hines.
A radio announcer, Ted Pearson
of the NBC network, actually
pinned the title of "Fatha" on Earl
Hines during an early broadcast
from the famous Grand Terrace in
Chicago. Pearson had noted Hines
fatherly attitude toward his mu-
sicians particularly that he adj
dressed each as SON." So he be-
gan announcing "Fatha" Hines and
His Boys to radio listeners.
Sarl Hines, one of the most ia
nous names in the annals of popu-
lar American music, is currently at
the height of his career according
to critics and Showmen throughout
the country
Hines personal appearances in
theatres, bathrooms and college
proms during the past year have
broken long-standing records.
Benny Goodman, not long ago,
recorded an original tune featuring
piano, titled 1.-THE Earl as a tribute
to Hines, whose original piano style
was the fOrerunner of such great
technicians as Teddy Wilson, Jess
Stacy and many others.
During the past year, the Hines
orchestra has broken all records
for the past nine years at such
spots as the Howard Theatre, Wash
ington, the Orpheun, Los Angeles
and the Paradise, Detroit.
Showmen, critics and public alike
agree that this is Hines greatest
year.
