B H f-'rirnrr SVr I (r CAMBRIDGE, Mass~ Arou >tirs of the new Suupercme Court, ruling In Washington arc so bad in the main courtroom that Justice Stone at one end of the bench can not clearly hear Justice Butler at the other end, it was rea t t hf? meeting of the Acoustical Society of America here. Ihere is nothing wrong with .Justice Butlers voice, for he can not hear Justice Stone either. Moreover persons sitting near the middle of each side of the huge room can not hear what lawyers are saying if the\ stand in certain spots of the room. The amazing acoustical flaw in

the room of the highest court in the nation was described by V. L. Chrisler, expert of the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, who told the cause and possible cure of the architectural fault. Specially treated walls and ceiling were built into the courtroom when it was constructed, bit for beau.v in keeping with the rest of the magnificent, edifice four great eieht-foot-tall marble slabs adorn corners of the room. Sounds ‘Flutter’ Tests by Mr. Chrtsler showed sounds are reflected back and forth on the two diagonals of the room and that the ends of the justices’ bench where sit Justice Stone and Justice Butler are right, near these diagonal lanes of sound.” Experiments demonstrated that soundrstarting in the diagonal lanes rarety can be heard clearly due to so-called "flutter." Flutter is a type of reverberation sound phenomenon where sounds persist for some seconds so that any word in a speech extends and overlaps following words with the result that they blend into a confusing mixture. One way to cure the fault is to place about the room sound-ab-oro-ing materials which cut down the time a given sound persists. Architects now are considering such absorbing material in front of the four marble slabs.

MacLachlan. associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, and pneum inia specialist, described the new m'dicine. ’ It is too early to say what reJUits will be," he said, "but we believed that hydroxyethylapoquinin can be used with safety. "Previously, derivatives of quinin have been too dangerous to use in the first stages of pneumonia. "In clinical medicine,” he continued, "we prescribed ethylapoquimn only as a last resort in cases where we believed death would occur, and it was worth the gamble." The new substance for trea.ing pneumonia is pronounced hydroxy-ethyl-apo-quinin.
