To explain his point, although he thought it might be indiscreet, he told of some of Baird's secret methods. Through an arrangment with a tele-| phone central operator, he related, Raird obtained records of conversa- tlons hetween persons suspected of being leaders “of the heer and whisky ring in western Pennsylvania.” and information caused him several agents working | under him.

A pianist uses up 10 times as much | energy as a tailor, and a violinist or rellist three times as much as a tvpist. | hese are some of the conclusions ived at by Prof. Loewy of Dave Switzerland, and Dr. Schroetter of | Vienna. who tried to find out how | much energy the musical career re. | auires. The process adopted was that of | measuring the expenditure of energy of a musician at rest and while sing- milarly, measure- ments were taken of various cate. gories of manual workers while at rest and while engaged on their jobs. 1t was found that a serubwoman ex. | pends S0 per cent more energy while scrubbinz than when resting. The | singer’s rating was 83 per cent. Though the red face and puffed-up cheeks of a trombone player may seem tn Indicate that he works much harder than does a piano player, vet his rat- Ing by the two investigators was only | 63 per cent compared with that of the planist's 270 per cent.
