MEMBERS BLAMED
FOR PARTY DEFEAT
Loss in Commons on Reform Bill
Fellows Break Between
Liberal Leaders.
MINISTRY UNAFFECTED
Cabinet Will Consider Entire
Abandonment of Measure
in Controversy.
LONDON, Mar. 17.--(/P)--The
Labor government today blamed lax
party discipline for a defeat in the
commons Monday night on a minor
clause of the electoral reform bill,
~246 to 242. The defeat brouight
cries of "Resign! gesign;!'g
The ministry will not resgn, but
steps will be taken to insure mem-
bers being in their seats for future
divisions. Absence of 1G unpaired
Labor .members may be called offi-
cially to attention o± t ieico'nstitu-
encies.
The presence of the 16 would
have prevented the government .de-
feat, but it would not have pre-
vented a break between Sir John
,Simon, insurgent Liberal, and his
party leader, .David Lloyd George,
who thus was unable to throw his
entire party to the °support of the
government.
Sir John, a bitter enemy of the
ministry, li'ved up to his threat
recently that he would vote as his
conscience and not as his leaders
dictated, and led 10 fellow Liberals
into the opposition lobby when the
division was called on a resolution
rejecting the clause of the electoral
reform bill abolishing university
constituencies.
The -cabinet will consider entire
abandonment of the electoral re-
form bill, which was arranged by
the government and the Liberal
chieftain, David Lloyd George, as
the ~price of continued =Liberal co-
operation. Its feature is a provision
for an alternative vote s y s t e m
which would effect'more nearly
proportional representation.
The defeat was the sixth of the
Labor government in its nearly two
years in office. All have been on
minor points.

Audible Light" was the subject
of a demonstrata: .leture given
last night in Natural Science audi-
torium by John B. Taylor. General;
Electric company consulting engi-l
neer. At the lecture, the combined'
sections of the radio engineers and
the American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers were the guests of the
elecirical engineering department
of the University.
In the lecture, Taylor performed
various feats with electrical appa-
ratus which illustrated the powers
1of electricity. In one of his experi-r
mentsshe placed various objects
such as a lighted match, a neon
tube, and an electric siren before
a box which had a single "eye,"
and produced a variety of sounds.
"This," he explained, "is due to
the fact that the human eye has
too many limitations; and certain°
pulsations which the eye cannot
catch may affect the ear when the
light is made audible. The experi-
ment is called 'listening to light.'"
Taylor also gave a series of dem-
onstrations with electric bulbs and
flashlights producing the same ef-
fects. Added to this, he focused a
light on the wall and then on the
"eye" after which music was heard.
This, Taylor said, came from a
nearby radio station.
He concluded his experiments
with an "electrical finger" which
when rubbed over a surface setstup
a noise in comparison with the
roughness of the surface. With this
he =experimented on his coat sleeve,
face and fruit, producing sounds
according to the smoothness of the
objects.

pense because this Guaranteed-for-

when you go out again.

purpose-and more.
Under a Trust Agreement not only do you
furnish your family with lifelong income, but
you have the power to direct its distribution
and proper use. In this manner you are as-
suring a life-long income.
