Scientific Marvels Are Demonstrated Here by Lecturer
Grace Displays Weird Effects With Music and Speech in Talk Last Night

BIG STUDENT TURNOUT
LAWRENCE KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 19. 1931
Electrical wonders and outstanding developments of research were demonstrated by Senior Vice President John Bell Telephone laboratory of New York City in a lecture at the University Auditorium last night. Approximately 4,500 people attended the lecture.
A demonstration of scrambled speech, artificial larynx, the talking flame, delayed or creeping speech, bearing a picture, filtered speech and music, thundering heart beat, and the dial that speaks were shown and explained by
engineers and telephone men from all parts of Kansas came to Lawrence in the spring. They demonstrated the new developments found from research work in the Bell Lab.
"I have found that the public is interested in the engineers," said Mr. Grace, "and we are watching them and the scientists go ahead and develop new things so man can advance, further into science or civilization. There is no end to progress."
"I carry my voice in my pocket," an the lecturer, and then proceeded to explain the new invention or discovery which he was using, for one who was able to see a microphone. He could sound through the transmitter to the loud speaking apparatus was about the size of a quarter. The speaker said that the low tones go into it from the vibrations of the shoes and the high tones go in from the outside.
Voice Carried in Pocket
The artificial lavage is used by per sons rendered dumb through loss of the lumen of the airway, to make it a "pitch pipe") on the breathing tube leading from the windpipe, force the breath through it, and prevent carbon dioxide from the device gives its characteristic note, according to Mr. Grace. He stated that 200 of the instruments are in use for this purpose.
No.135
In demonstrating ascrambed speech, he spoke into an apparatus which made the high notes turn into low ones, producing a strange janglen. When he spoken the inverted languages into the amplifier, the audience could understand that the audience could understand.
Speech Delayed Four Seconds
by means of a flaming are light, sounds which passed through a regular waveform. This is how we can cause the arc between the carbons to vibrate, making it actually talk as a wave. In an experiment with a Victor talking machine into the apparatus and transmitted through the
By a system of special "filters," Mr Grace cut high and low frequencies from a composite sound which produced weird effects.
Speech Delayed Four Seconds
A special ally in a club or with a wizard in the circuit, Mr Graze spoke into one end of the sea and the words came out of the four speaker from one to four seconds later. This was called cropping or delaye
To demonstrate the thundering heartbeat, the lecturer had a boy come to the school and he traced to the boy, the audience was able to hear the beat of his heart. The student recorded this as recorded record also by using a sensitive microphone and powerful amplify-
By making himself one end of a receiving circuit, his assistant the other, and a third person from the crowd to "close the circuit." Mr. Grace made the human ear mechanism function without audible sound. A record was played through the system, and a tape was carried through the bodies of the two men into the head of the third person.
The last demonstration Mr. Grace gave was to make the telephone dial "spoke." A direct wire circuit was made between the microphone and the lecturer called a number and in about two seconds an automatic call answered. The speaker beams through the loud speaker. The automatic announcer changes the dial to a number without human intervention.
Mr. Grace also told of a new cable now in use in some parts of the United States for long distance calling. "The size of a hair on your head and these wires are inside a cable under the ground. One cable underground with several hundred inches about 25 pole lines above the earth," said the lecturer.
For the past two days workmen, including eight installers, many officials and representatives, worked last night in the demonstration. Due to the time taken to set up the machinery, Mr. Grace is able to give, on the average, one liec-

Templin Says Bloss Bill Will Increase K. U. Gifts
State to Collect No Tax Against Endowment Association
"The guarantee that endowments will not be taxed greatly increases the prospects of our securing gifts," said Prof. Olm Tinplin last after receiving the message that the Bloss bill, which was for the purpose of exemplifying the benefits of Endowment Association from taxation, had been signed by Gov. Harry H. Woodring.
"The success of this bill, which passed both the senate and the house of representatives by an almost unanimous vote, is due very largely to the intensive and perseverance effect of Winfield, added Professor Tempin.
He explained that the passing of the bill will be helpful to the University for if, for example, property valued at $2.9 million is increased by a will, under the rate of 3.8 per cent, which was the rate for Lawrence for last year, a tax of $50,600.
Section 1. All property, real, personal or mixed, controlled or held in trust by any corporation, shall be required for the sole purpose of financing support to any educational institution maintained by an educational institution as provided by article eleven, section one of the constitution, for state purposes as provided by article 42, section 4 of the constitution; Provided, that the governing board of said institution shall have full authority to determine such prices of such financial support made by said corporation. If rejected by said board, such property so rejected shall be deemed not required.
Bill Exempts Endowment Fund
The bill as written by Mr. Bloss reads as follow:
Section 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its publication in the statute book.
Mr. Bloss adds that the bill will be profitable to the state alone, as at present the only organization receiving benefit is the Kansas University Endowment, which is active in nurturing gifts for the state, mostly outside of the state.
He said that failure to receive exemption would leash the number and amount of bequests secured by him, at present acting as a willing and efficient aid in securing income necessary to provide adequately for the University of
