~ HOWT0 KL ECto vt of Pt That Dos 11 b . Washington, Jan. 27.—UB— The * problem of acoustics in auditoriums has irritated statesmen, actors snd preachers and pussled buflders for more generations than the memory of man records, but only now seems to be nearing a solution. Attacking the probjem in the regular course of their amasingly varied sclentific endeavors, Bu- Teau of Standards experts Dhave 1 developed a plaster formula which ' promises rellef from the annoying reverberations encountered in . many beattitully designed auditori- u 'tho s at the root of bad acous- tics. When sound waves — a speaker's voice or notes of music —strike the walls and are reflected , back into & chamber, thelr echoes conflict with the new, original sounds and confusion results, f “To absorb ‘any appreclable -amount of aound energy,” the bu- ‘reau investigators found, “a plaster must possess a -porous surface of ‘such a nature that the sound will ;penctrate into the plaster and be changed .to some other form of jenergy. The hard, nonporous sur- jface powsessed by the ,sanded plaster or by the line- !npn-m white finish coat does nét Lhave this porosity.” Examination of several acousati- ordinary | | cal plasters on the market which ] possces the desired property of porosty disclosed that they were difficuit to apply. So something better*was sought. The result of that search s described by the bureau as follows: “By 'adding small amounts of alum or aluminum sulphate and a carbonate ' to the calcined gypsum- sand 4ry mix, it has been found that a plaster may be prepared ‘which possexses the desired charac- teristic of surface porosity and which may be easlly worked and applied. When+ this plaster is wetted, the alum and carbonate re: Jact to form carbon dloxide, which 1is entcapped in the body of the _plaster in the form of countless minute bubbles of gas. “When the plaster is applied to a water absorptive backing, such as an ordinary acratch or brown coat of plastar, the excess water in the wet acoustical plaster s partially removed by the absorp- tive effect of the backing and the water tilms surrounding the gas bubbles are broken, leaving a large | number of communicating small pores throughout the plaster.” /BRITISH BEAUTY NOT OF ONE TYPE Dilcult o Seloct One - Who =k 3 H London, Jan, 27—What is the Livitish type of beauty?

But not yet has Britain been able to agree upon a representative Eng- lish beauty who represents na- tional comeliness as does \iss America in the United States. Bohemian Gate Built Of 130,000 Match Boxes Neudek, Bohemia, Jan, 27.—(@)— A gate made of 130,000 match boxes is a current attraction here. The association of Germans in Bo- hemia, the largest “Verein” of its kind in Czecho-Blovakia, planned a get-together of all its members, As a special attraction the administra- tive committee hit upon the idea of constructing a gate of honor entirely of match boxes, Every member of the association was requested to contribute empty match boxea. It was not long before 130,000 boxes had reached Neudek. Adolf Deimer, a Neudek artist then con- structed the match box gate believ- ed to have had no counterpart. uthobmtypflor‘ NEW BBITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1928. WOMEN IN WAR Red Cross Building Will Com- % memorate Service Washington, Jan. 37. UP—The service and sacrifice of American | { women in the world war will be | commemorated in a half million ‘dolllr Red Cross building to be | erected here during the coming | spring and eummer. Plans for ithe new white stone | building have been approved b, | the house and senate committees, the secretary of war and officials of the Red Cross and work is ex- | pected to start at once. Across {{he entrance will be the inscrip- tion: “Memorial to the American | Women of the World War.” ‘ The building will serve as a demonstration laboratory in which Red Cross members of chapters ’(hroughout the country will be | shown the many branches of Red | Cross relief work and how such | work may be properly conducted. The building will cost $546,000, | Of this amount the government has appropriated $150,000 and the house | has before it a Dbill calling fo~ an additional appropriation of $50,000. | The remainder of the cost has been | raised by the Red Cross from pri- vate subscriptions. The memorial plans were started about four years ago when congress made the original $150,000 appropriation with “ the suggestion that the Red Cross | raise a like sum, Among the leaders in Red Crosg | work who probably will attend lhc dedication of the new memorial | after its completion are Mrs, Henry | R. Rea of Pittsburgh, first Red | Cross field director in charge of relief work for war wounded at Walter Reed hospital here, and Mrs, August P. Belmont of New York, assistant to the war council and Red Cross investigator during | the war. . | Mrs, Belmont, now a member of the central committee, took up full | NEMORIAL FOR time work with the Red Croms in 1917, going abroad to investigate rellst work in the French, British American sones. 8he served ovenou five months before re- turning to the United States to make a nation-wide speaking tour for the organisation. Mrs. Belmont made the original plan upon which was based the present Red Croes program of volunteer service. | Change of Scenery Is Beneficial to Bees San Francisco, Jan. 27.—(M—A change of diet is good for bees and for the fruits and.vegetables they pollinize, Frank E. Topp, state entomologist of California declares, Many apiarists of the state, Topp says, are providing their bees with change of scenery and climate by moving them around on large trucks and vans and this is of ad- vantage both to the insects and to the crops which provide them forage. Countless thousands can be trans- ported easily to & new location where some orchardist or farmer wants better pollinization and every- body profits in the transaction, Topp points out. The 15,000 beekeepers in Califor- nia derived a revenue from honey | of about $1,600,000 last year, NEWEST SPORT TAGS Stripes are gradually being push- ed out of the fashion limelight by polka dots, circles and spotches, There 18 nothing newer in French sports clothes than the rolka dot sweaters sghown by a few large designers.

With the demonstration in recent years of the amazing accuracy of the frost forecast service, which is maintained jointly by the weather bureau and the orchardists, con- fidence in the artifical heating of orchards has grown until now it is utilized on a tremendous scale. In the citrus industry alone, which brings California $100,000,000 * a year, 2,500,000 oil heaters are used to protect about 50,000 acres of orange and lemon trees. Although these heaters have been greatly im- proved in the last few years, they give off clouds of soot which, drift- ing into cities, cause anguish to housewives and financial loss to merchants. Although thousands of suggestions have been made and numerous pat- ents obtained, the records in the of- fice of J. B. Kincer, chief of the division of agricultural meteorology of the weather bureau, shows no satisfactory substitute for the heaters. 8o the new smoke forecast- ing service has been undertaken to make the hest of what appears to | be a necessary evil. The frost and emoke forecasts arc issued late in the day whenever dan- oil | | gerous temperatures are indicated and are distrihuted by telephone and radio in ample time to permit the orchardists to light their heaters. Eight experts are employed in this forecasting, under the direction of F. D. Young, the meteorologist who began it single handed. They base their calculations on study of the regular daily weather map in con- Jjunction with a hydrometric formula which takes into consideration lo- cal humidity and temperature eon- ditions. In one season, during which he is- sued 96 forecasts, Young has been within two degrees of accuracy 94 per cent of the time. Many of his warnings predicted low tempera- tures in termssof fractions—27 1-2 degrees, for Instance—and 68 of the 96 were precisely accurate, while 15 others were less than one degree away from the actual point at which the mercury stopped descending in the thermometer. His largest error in that year was five degrees, and | that is one incident in his life which | he finds it hard to forget. Most of the cold snaps which | threaten the California fruit crop develop when an area of low pres- | sure moves out of Arizona or south- ern California and an area of high pressure from Nevada swings in. The frost forecasters remain in this region until the danger passes in February, and then they move {north into the deciduous fruit sec- tion of Washington and Oregon.

BRITISH CHEMISTS | SEENING SECRETS s == Into Tin London, Jan. 27 UP—The old al. chemists tried to turn tin and cop- per into gold. But Britiah scientista are now thinking of going them - ne better, by turning gold into tin and copper. Copper and tin deposits are rap- idly running out, while the gold supply continues undiminished. In time, scientists hiere say, copper and tin will become so valuable that it will pay chemists to tranasform gold and silver into these more useful metals. British scientists, in an interview in the Daily Mail, say there is only about 100 years' supply of copper in the world. Cables and electrical devices are using up great quanti- ties of it. The marvelous durability of gold will make it a good substi- tute for copper when the time comes {that gold is more plentitul than copper, i | The alluvial deposits of tin in | Cornwall have all been worked out, and the only tin now produced i there is from vein mining. Five- sixths of all the tin in the world is cbtained from such alluvial de- posits.
