.. SCIENTIST T0 SHOW MODERN ‘MIRACLES Executive of Telephone Lab- oratories to Demonstrate Present-Day Apparatus. A modern scientist is coming to Washington to give an extensive pub- lic demonstration at the D:cember meeting. of the Board of Trade, next Wednesday evening, of a list of ‘mir- acles” which the fabled Aladdin never performed. | He is Sergius P. Grace, assistant vice | president of the Bell Telephone Labo-; ratories, who will interpret in the words of the layman many wonders of moedern science in the field of communication, as they are being demonstrated in the large ball room of the Wilard Hotel. Mr. Grace, it is announced, “will defy the laws of gravitation, play a picture on a talking machine, fiiter music, make an electric brain think and an electric ear hear, let his audience hear a man's heart beat, demonstrate how the dumb can talk with an artificial larynx, show | how speech creeps along a wire, turn| human speech upside down and then unscramble it, show how a dial tele- phone can speak its own call number to an rator and do other scientific electrical feats of a startling nature.” Installing Apparatus. A large quantity of apparatus is be- ing installed in the ball room for these purposes and the place is being turned virtually into a communication labor- atory. There will be giant loud speak- ers, various radio devices used in trans- oceanic telephony, vacuum tube re- | peaters for improving long distnce tele- phone transmission, a phonograph from which Mr. Grace plans to scrambl> and ‘unscramble speech and other equipment of a mf.lceflous aspect to the layman, used in communication and science flelds. One of the demonstrations, it is an- nounced, will be that of “delayed meh." Extending across the room t 5 feet above the heads of mem- bers of the audience, will be a tightly wound spiral metal spring, resembling an ordinary screen door spring. Mr. Grace will speak into a telephone trans- mitter connected with this spring and the speech will “crawl” along the wire 8t & rate one twenty-fi’th as fast as it would in air, thus being comparable to showing an airplane in flight down to & speed of 4 miles an hour. Several seconds after the words are spoken into the transmitter they will come out of the horns of the giant loud speakers provided for this demonstration. Other Demonstrations. ‘The practical use of this delayed speech also will be explained. Other features of the scientific show will in- clude demonstrations of apparatus for 1m) the hearing, providing arti- speech for those having defective voices and the electrical stethoscope used by the medical profession in diag- mosing various forms of heart disease. Mr. Grace, who comes to Washing- ton through the interest of Lloyd B. Wilsen, president of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co., has been con- nected with the Bell Telephone Lab- orad and the Western Electric Co. since 1914. He was at one time chief engineer of the New York Telephone Co., and later of the Bell Telephone Co. of nsylvania. In 1913, he was presi- dent of the Engineers’ Society of Penn- sylvania, LA FARGE TO LECTURE AT COMMUNITY CENTER [ - “ AN e S Oliver La Farge, whose book, “Laugh- ||| ing \" won the 1929 Pulitzer prize t'u:?of - the novel which best presents | |} the whole atmosphere of American life, will lecture at the Central Community Center. the evening of December 8 at ||| 8:15 o'clock.

Donlin of Boston, one of the outstand- ing judges of this breed in the country. Among the well known entries of this type is Finkel's Mary Ann, light- weight 2-year-old Boston terrier, with the markings of her. illustrious great- grandsire, Hagerty's King, that has ac- cumulated quite a list of ribbons this season.
