Page Four CHICAGO WENT THROUGH the Formality of a primary election last week to prove that the democratic machine, headed by the honorable Edward .1. Kelly and his accomplice in rotten politics, mischievous Pat Nash, was stronger than ever. Green, on the republican ticket, had no com- petition from that resurrected and questionable character of the past— lig Bill Thompson. Professor Douglas of the U. of C. was named candidate for alderman by allying himself with the powerful KcllyvNash cont-lave. Douglas will not tolerate corruption of any kind, and it will be of extreme interest to watch this brilliant 6 foot 4 inch gentleman as he works with the notorious city council. There is little doubt that Kelly has the election in the bag, in spite of the ('hiruy/o Daily News and the fact that Mrs. Green is a lovable domestic . . . (so is Mrs. Kelly, they say). The republicans will have their hands full trying to beat the subway, the Roose- velt-Kelly pact. and a million demo- crats besides. i3 WILL WAR COME this spring? This question everyone is making and no one in answering. Meanwhile the war gods stew their broths of hatred and fear in their caldrons in Berlin. Rome, and Tokyo. Meanwhile too, a jittery world waits and worries. Japan has her crop full, far fuller than she expected, with her teeth bur— icd in the Chinese dragon. Thus it is not likely she will step on Stalin‘s ‘ to commit; toes, unless she wishes national hari—kari. Stalin is no Chamberlain, und Russia is not China. Hitler’s schedule calls for anothcr‘ European ('1' soon, and it is very likely the prin iplc roles are now re- hearsing their lines, as they did so well before the Munich scene. The next act in Herr Hitler's continenmI drama will probably take place near Budapest, as Germany's expansion is with a view toward the Ukraine. Italy is putting herself on the back for her victory in the Spanish “civil" war. It scents, as a corollary, that she will most probably apply pressure to apologetic France when llitler lifts the curtain. A little Munich is a dungerous thing. An old story goes, “Time is," “Timr was," “Time has been," and unless l'niled States begins soon, her op- portunity to save her neck, and that (if the democratic cause will be lost. STEAM SHGVEL—m EACULTY (2!.in— (Continued from page one) merit of the frequencies, While noise is a mixture of random frequencies which do not repeat themselves with any degree of regularity. The lowest frequency a human car can detect is about 20 cycles per second, while the upper limit is about 30,000. However, the average ear cannot detect frequencies above 16,- 00. It is interesting to note that animals and insects are sensitive to much higher frequencies. in answer to the question of just how sensitive the human ear is, Mr. Potter explained that, imagining the energy in sound being transferred to heat, it would be necessary to talk to a cup of miles! for 20,000 years to heat it to the boiling point, as- suming no heat loss s. to the sur- roundings during: that time. The last few minutes of the broad- cast were spent in the discussion of the decibel, which is on expression of sound energy. A decibel is a logarith— mic unit merely convenient for expressing: the relatively large varia- tions of energy. Expressed in deci- bels, the loudness of the average human voice would fall between forty— c decibels. that a sound which is zero decibels is just barely detectable by the car of pa person whose hearing is slightly ‘ better than average.

Their dance last Friday was a very rood example of the good times that could be had every two weeks with a similar dance. If the fellows don’t all get behind it and take advantage of its opportunities, they will be missing a great bet. A lot of credit goes to “Dixie” Duncan, and his mmmittec, who backed the dance, and to Don Charlclon and his band. How about a dance every two weeks.
