From 8.30 until noon there had been delivered eleven wagonloads ol' goods. along with countless automobiles loaded with per ishable stuff. "Everything under the sun" is there. Apparently some house holds have contributed the results of six or seven years' accumulations. And w'th it all, the big store rooms are eating the stuff up with apparently inexhaustible capacity. There is room for five times the amount already turned in. Some of the goods are of exceptional value, and auction is the probable plan of disposing of them. GEN. SALAZER PLANS TO CRUSH U. S. CAVALRYMEN [Continued 1 >om First Page.] the signature to the proclamation was undeniably genuine. The proclama tion said in part: "The attitude of Carranza, always hostile to every individual, corporation or party not subservient to him, which maintains in exile the most cultured,, honest and well-to-do portion of the I Mexican family; the anarchy created i by the very party that sarcastically calls itself 'constitutionalist'; their in- | ability to run down bandits who like Villa are the opprobrium of the nation and an eternal stain In our history, be ing at least the cause of the North American invasion on our beloved soil, impels me again to spring to the armed struggle, determined to do all T can for the salvation of our country and our honor." I'nion for Defense After declaring that his first pur pose is the union of all Mexicans for the national defense, he concludes with a statement thai he Is willing to turn the direction of the campaign over to any patriotic body of men who are worthy of it. Local authorities had no additional ] information regarding the progress of the revolution reported to have been inaugurated by General Jose Ynez Salazar. Salazar recently has been living at Tjis Crui es, N. M., from which point, he has made repeated night trips by motor to El Paso and vicinity. Ac cording to the police, each trip has brought him in touch with some por tion of the many Mexican malcontents that have taken refuge In this city ef the border since the ascendancy of the Carranza faction. Another Mexican Northwestern train left Juarez this morning for Casas Grandes and Pearson. It was com posed of two passenger and ten freight cars. The latter were loaded with supplies which private concerns expect 1o sell to the American troops. General Petronillo Hernandez, with forces estimated at from 1.000 to 1,500 men. Is expected to arrive in Juarez to-day to take over tlie military com mand of the town from General Ga vira. according to information from Mexican sources. General Gavira Sent to Field The constant ntanuevering of Car ran za troops between points close to the border is a favorite topic of dis cussion on street corners, in hotel lob bies and other places where men con gregate. but as the Mexican officials here and in Juarez refuse to discuss the matter or give evasive answers to all questions, the subject remains one of almost pure speculation. It is known that the movements have been closely watched by govern ment troops along the border and that frequent reports are being made to Washington, but federal officials pro fess to be as much in the dark as any one else in regard to the meaning of these troop movements. Troops as 'Withdrawal Argument One explanation which was offered ] 10-day by an American who formerly j was in close touch with the Mexican government found many acceptors.

The arrival of the two fliers in Chihuahua caused great excitement MONDAY EVENING, ENGINEERS DETERMINE ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES OF BIG A UDITORIUMS BEFORE THEY ARE CON By a Member or Engineers' Society of Pennsylvania. Do you remember when you were a youngster how you shouted down the cistern and how your voice came back as if from a fairy with a pair of lungs stronger than your own? Perhaps you have gone into a gTeat empty hall and accidentally allowed the door to slam. Don't you remem ber how the place became "filled Im mediately with a roar of sound, how doors seemed to slnm from all direc tions at once until the noise was deaf ening? You had to wait until the noise quieted down. What actually happened was that the sound waves from the slamming door, traveling at the prodigious speed of 750 miles an hour, struck the walls and roof of the enclosure, rebounded, and were reflected again and again until they were Anally lost; scientists say hcanged Into heat. Sound Control a Science It Is popularly supposed that audi bility In an auditorium la beyond the ken of science—a matter of mere chance. However, it has been demon strated by laborious scientific experi ments during the past 18 years that the action of sound in enclosed spaces conforms to definite laws which de pend solely on the form of enclosure and the materials used In its construc tion. According to Dayton C. Miller, professor of physics, Case School of Applied Science, and & recognized au thority on sound, the acoustic proper ties of any structure may be definitely ascertained before a single building stone is laid. He advises expert advice in planning all such structures. Failures and Successes. A striking example of defective acoustics in a civic building is the new San Francisco convention hall, which has a capacity of 14,000. It is a con crete building of imposing appearance, but on account of reverberations due to defective interior design, it is im possible to listen with enjoyment to a discourse held in it. Most llarrisburgers know how easy it is to hear the speaker in the House of Representatives in our own Capitol, though it is said that the speaker on the rostrum cannot hear quite as well a per.son speaking from the floor.. An amusing incident caused by de fective acoustics took place at a con cert held in the Convention Hall of the University of Illinois, during a xylo phone solo. The orchestra leader heard the echo more strongly than the Instrument itself, and beat time with it: the resulting confusion may be imagined. Since then, the echoes In this building have been reduced by use of wail hangings. Notable among those structures which have tine acoustics is the Hill Auditorium of the University of Michi gan. seating over 5,000. The Boston Opera House, built after consultation with experts. Is an equally fine exam ple of the application of the laws of sound to architecture. The Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City, holding 8.000. has long been famed as the place one may "hear the pin drop," at a distance of 200 feet. llow Sound Acts In order to understand how sound nets, >ve must first know wliat sound is. Simple experiments show that sound is merely air set in motion by a vibrating object. Not only do these air movements radiate from the source as ripples, on the Surface of a pond spread outward when a stone is thrown in, but the form of the air waves themselves is very similar to those in the water. It is these suc cessive condensations and rarefactions in the atmosphere, analagous to the crests and troughs of water waves, which prbduce on the ear the effect we call sound. The ear is not tuned to receive nil sounds: hence those deep soundswhich haveless than 30 "waves" or vibrations per second, or those very high-pitched sounds having more than 10.000 cannot be distinguished. A legion of factors enter into consid erations of building design by the acoustic engineer. In order that hear ing be good in any room, the sound must first of all be loud enough. This is commonly obtained by elevating tile speaker, and at the same time, rais ing the rear seats, which gives the air vibrations an opportunity to radiate to those in back instead "of being en tirely absorbed by the audience close at hand. The walls must be so placed that successive waves of sound reflecting from them do not "Interfere" with Yesterday Was Birthday Anniversary of— ; raM i #*l < fl HOWARD W.

Army Heads Decline to Comment on Reported Pact Fixing "Dead Line" By Associated Press Washington, D. C„ April 10.—Secre tary Lansing and Secretary Baker both declined to comment to-day on border reports that* an agreement between Washington and the Carranza govern ment had fixed a "dead line" beyond which the American troops would not go in their pursuit of the Villa bandits. Secretary Baker declared in answer j to questions that sych an agreement j would come under the pending proto- each other. When this interference occurs, sound distribution is altered: some sounds are reinforced, while others are neutralized, much as waves beating against a breakwater in a storm are reflected and tend to en large or quell the succeeding waves. Care must he employed In selection of Materials and hangings of the walls of an auditorium, else certain partially absorbed sounds will set them in 'vi bration, as, for example, certain piano notes cause objects in a music room to resound. This quality of "resonance" permits a distortion of sound which is undesirable. Closely associated with resonance is "consonance," the process of strength ening the voice by proper arrangement of reflecting walls. It is significant in this connection to note that so little is known about this one positive factor in acoustics that we do not even pos sess an English word for It. The an cient Greeks advocated the use of re sonant vases in their theaters, claim ing that the acoustics were improved by these bronze objects "set in incon spicuous places about the room." It is because the invisible air waves ra diate with the incredible speed of 1,100 feet per second, that they are so difficult to control. Sound Absorption This whir of sound Is known as the reverberation or residual sound, and the time elapsing between the forma tion of the original sound and the in stant when the last echo has been stilled, is called the time of reverber ation. To determine the time of reverbera tion in a room after it has been built is merely a matter of observation, but how can this time be fixed when a room exists only as a few lines on a piece of paper? A simple formula has been derived by Professor Wallace C. Sabine of Harvard University, a world authority on acoustics, by which, when we know the volume of air contained in the room, the material with which the wall, floor and ceiling are covered, and tho size of tlie audience the dur ation of any given sound may be de termined. Considering that an oper> window is 100 per cent, efficient in absorbing sound waves—for no sound is ever re flected from it —by repeated experi ments extending over a period of years, he found values of absorption for concrete, wood, tile, felt, cloth and a host of other building materials. These values, together with the sound wave absorbing power of men and women, he expressed In terms of the open window unit; so that now it be comes an easy matter to find the total sound wave absorbing power in an oc cupied room of any dimensions. Photographing Kehoes There are numerous spots scattered about the country where one may talk o- even whisper, wait a few seconds, and then hear the very same syllables repeated with startling distinctness as from a great distance. This phenome non. known as the echo, is merely a reflection of sound waves without dis tortion, and in enclosures may be nearly as troublesome as reverber ation. As it conforms to. simple laws of wave reflection, however, it is ob viated bv altering the form of the interior, or breaking an expanse of solid echoing wall by projections or doors. In this study of the relation of form of room to sound reflection, a method has been devised by which the echo itself is photograped. A model on aboiu a quarter of an inch scale of a section of the proposed hall or theater is made, and enclosed between two glass plates, one of which is sensitized. An electric spark is made in that part of the model representing the stage, and as the sound wave induced by the spark travels outward, a second spark is st off from the side. The light from this spark traces on the sensi tized plate the exact form of the sound waves at that instant, the air composing the wave being of different density from the rest of the confined air. By varying the time of the sec ond spark, the wave may be photo graphed in its various positions, and a complete stjdy of its progress may be made. This plan of study is followed in designing New York theaters to day. and because it may be done be fore construction, like the determina tion of time of reverberation, it is an effectual aid to the prevention of acoustic fr.ilures.

DRUGS UNDERGO ADULTERATION Pharmaceutical Association of Pennsylvania Will Drop Mem bers Who Violate Laws The present condition of high prices in dyes, drugs and chemicals is bring ing with it a certain amount of adul teration which is to l>c expected, and against which careful and progressive pharmacists are guarding. When coal tar dyes are so high in price that it is rumored a large llrm of wallpaper printers expect to sell their stock of coal tar colors at the present high prices, close down their plant and rt?tirc from business, as by so doing they can make a greater prolit than in years of wallpaper printing, and when it is realized that many drugs have risen proportionately in price, the temptation to adulterate is understood. Fortunately for the Pennsylvania public this State has a prerequisite law which require that every pharma cist shall be a graduate of a reputable college of pharmacy before he is granted a certificate which entitles him to carry on and manage a retail drug store, thus ensuring his fitness for protecting the public from many forms of fraud. This advantage is shared by but few communities. Dr. Krusen of the Health Depart ment of Philadelphia found several drug stores in that city where adul terated drugs have been used in filling prescriptions. The State Pharmaceu tical Examining Board has also been investigating the subject and It is be lieved that the few instances found were cases of pharmacists who pur chased their supplies from sources other than the regular wholesale or chemical supply houses. There are drug peddlers going about with plausible tales of stocks of drugs purchased at auction, etc., but the wise pharmacist who, through his membership in progressive associa tions like the Pennsylvania Pharma ceutical Association, is on his guard, tests a sample before purchasing, this being a matter of only a few minutes' time for a skilled pharmacist nnd some interesting results have been re cently reported. One pharmacist, upon being offered some thymol iodide, now sl2 a pound, a suspiciously low price, tested a sam ple with his microscope and found it to contain a large amount of lyeopo dium, a vegetable powder worth 90 cents a pound, at present. Another found salol adulterated with corn starch and still another found aspirin adulterated with powdered bone ash. While none of these are harmful adul terants they all depreciate the value of the drug by lowering its medicinal activity. The Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association did pioneer work in show ing up and checking adulterations in drugs through the committee on drug markets, whose report is presented an nually at the meetings and then pub lished in the Proceedings for the bene fit of the members. This committee is composed of leaders in the profes sions of chemistry and pharmacy and their work is known all over the I'nitod States. Last year's work of the committee covered over 500 ana lyses of drugs of all kinds of which but a very small proportion were found adulterated and these were all re jected by the large wholesale houses and manufacturing establishments, all of whom maintain expensive analy tical laboratories. No pharmacist who purchases his supplies from reliable and trustworthy sources need fear the character of his drugs and chemicals, but the careless or unscrupulous pharmacist, of whom fortunately there are not many, can hope for no sympathy from his more conscientious brethren. The officers of the Pennsylvania Pharmeutical As sociation have slated that if any mem ber of this body is found guilty of hav ing violated liis professional trust by wilfully adulterating or substituting, he will be publicly expelled from membership at the approaching meet ing at Reading. sl.-100 I\)R FOREIGN MISSIONS More than $1,400 or $1,420.36 to be exact, was expended last year by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of Market Square Presbyterian church according to reports issued yesterday.

The Star-Inde pendent offers a silver cup for the best constructed birdhouse. The contest as outlined strives to get the most results from the birdhouses built rather than the greatest number of houses. The idea is for the contestants to build one or more birdhouses, place it o rthem in the most likely place to be used by the bird for which It Is intended, keep a record of when the house is erected, when first occupied, when first eggs are laid, when young birds appear, how they are fed. and when they are able to fly.
