ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERE 1S
MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION.
FRENCH INVENT SYSTEM.
PARlS.—Analysis of the air breath
ed by a criminal is the newest aid to
the French police in identifying male
factors. They scientifically examine the
air in the room in which he operated,
then examine the man, and reach a
definite answer to the question wheth
er he breathed in that room at a par
ticular time. If by chance the man ex
pectorated while at work he can be
traced as surely as if he had left his
calling card.
The machine which does this is part
of a crime detector system which was
shown to Police Commissianer Fn
right, of New York city, on his recent
visit to Paris. It is based on science
applied to the detection and identifi
cation of criminals. If the Paris police
wish to show that a man was at a
given place at a give hour they do not
spend days trying to find witnesses.
They prove it by the air he breathed;
by the clothes he wore, and by sev
eral other scientific records which they
say cannot be denied. There is no
room for doubt, they say, such is their
confidence in the accuracy of their de
ductions.
When a crime has been committed
the scientists, in their well equipped
laboratory, are notified. They crowd
into a big automobile filled with
ccientific instruments and proceed to
to the scene. There is the expert pho
tographer, the artist to make sketches,
the chemist and the man to operate
the spectroscope. The last mentioned
takes a section of the air for future
careiul anlysis; each of the others docs
his assigned part, and no possible bit
of material anlysis is overlooked. The
floor and the walls, the, furniture,
threads of clothing, bloody rags, bro
ken lights, finger prints, anyvthing that
offers a possible suggestion, is packed
in air tight receptacles and taken back
to the laboratory. Here everything is
analyzed, and, finally, the laboratory
is able to give instructions to the de
tectives whom to arrest and what to
look for, so that final and definite com
parisons may be made.
“When we appear in court we do
not confront the prisoners and the
judges with suppositions and proba
bilities,” said M. Bell, chief of the
laboratory. “We present proofs and
facts. We explain exactly how the
crime was committed. In 1,110 cases
of crime 1,677 imprints were made,
requiring 101,616 examinations and
4,775 photographic prints, and this
work led to the positive identification
oi. 126 criminals. Criminals who wash
up blood stains now waste their time.
In this laboratory blood diluted 200,-
000 times can be traced, whether the
original stain was on a floor or a bit of
cloth.”

TEN THOUSAND ATTEND
SENATOR WATSON'S FUNERAL
(Continued from page 1)
ington, who was the Atlantic Coast
I.ine's personal escort on the trip,
brought back to the funeral car engi
neer Ray, staunch follower of the
senator ior year. He had driven the
train from Rockymount, N. C., to that
station, and had made many similar
trips with the Georgia passenger, he
said. At the sight of the dead chief
tain, the enginer, clad in his worn
working clothes, broke into tears.
Many scenes of pathos were found
in the day. Men, old and decrepit, who
followed l.ee and Jackson during the
sixties came by night and in the carly
morning hours to pay respects to the
memory of the man whom they loved
most. At the bier they broke down!
and shed bitter tears.
The public square near the railroad
station was draped in black. All busi
ness houses were closed and the en
tire town suspended its daily ucti\'itivs;
to do honor to the “Sage of Mcl)nf»J
fie.”
It had been planned to hold the
funeral services and the interment
shortly after 2 o'clock, but there were
thousands who desired to look for the
last time on the face of their leader
and the exercises were postponed un
til later in the afternoon. At 3 o'clock
there was a line estimated at 2,000
still waiting to review the remains. !
A Great Loss. |
Senators in the official party hvrv!
were unanimous in their declaration
that Georgia, the south and the nation
at large has lost one of the most bril
liant men of this era. They describ
ed him as probably the best informed
man in the senate, and declared him
to- be most highly regarded and rv-‘
speeted by the members from every
section of the country. |
The death of Senator Watson rc-“
moves from public life in Georgia one
of the most picturesque men ever
known to southern history; a man of
great brilliancy and admitted ability—
in many ways the most loved and the
most hated man within the common
wealth. No man since the days of
Stephens, Toombs and Ben Hill exer
cised a more profound influence in the
national councils of the party.
DEMOCRATS DECLARE FOR
BEER AND LIGHT WINES
SPRINGFIELD, Mass—The dem
ocratic state convention today adopted
a platform declaring that “in the in
terest of law and good health, of civic
decency, as well as of true temper
ance,” the party although opposed to
the return of the saloon, believed in
“the legal use of beer and light wines.”
The platiorm assailed the republican
tariff act of 1922, condemning “the be
traval of the American people.”

FIELDS OF RED AND BLUE AS
WELL AS WHITE ANTICIPAT
ED BY PLANT EXPERTS.
ATILANTA, Ga—Possibly the fu
ture may find southern cotton fields
red or blue with the opening lint, as
well as white. Such a possibility is be
ing anticipated by Atlanta chemists
and plant experts. Already it is claim
ed green cotton has been grown on
a Georgia farm, If green can be pro
duced in the lint or fiber by breeding
colors into the plants, why not red.
blue or any other color?
A number of experiments in devel
oping colors in cotton fiber are re
ported, some of them indicating a con
siderable degree of suecess in produc
ing cotton of various hues and tints.
The subject has aroused a good deal
of interest on account of the scarcity
and prohibitive prices of dyes, a revo
lution in the dve industry having been
occasioned by shutting off the impor
tation of German dyes.
Some manufacturers of cotton goods
have pointed out that if staple of fast
color could be produced it would save
dyeing and the raw cotton could be
made into yarn for weaving without
any preliminary proéess. A number of
cotton growers in Georgia have con
ceived the idea of “breeding color” in
to the cotton plant just as color 1s
bred into animals.
A farmer, C. F. O’Bryant, of Dal
ton, Ga., reports having produced a
cotton fiber of well-defined color,
while a prominent planter of lLouisia
na is said to be experimenting along
similar lines. Some chemists here hold
that instead of cotton with the regular
snow white appearance, it can be
grown and made to acquire any color
of the rainbow.
But these are ex parte statements,
it is pointed out here, and there is
still known to exist great antipathy
white. White is susceptible to all
dyes, any color scheme being derivable
from the basic white. If there should
be a strong popular demand for green
cotton or pink, no doubt, it is claim
ed, the scientists and cultivators would
soon evolve some such tints. But at
present white is the standard for all
cotton, and when it is shaded or tint
ed its commercial value is depreciated.

New Low Mark of 90.7 Per 100,000
Population Set, Says Association.
NEW YORK. -The death rate from
all forms of tuberculosis, in the year
1921, reached the remarkably low lev
¢l of 90.7 per 100,000 population. This
information has been obtained by the
National Tuberculosis Association
irom the registrars of 45 states in the
union. :
In 1921, returns from 40 states
showed a death rate of 108 per 100,000.
The decline in 1921 is equivalent, ac
cording to the association, to a saving
of about 18,000 lives in 1921 over 1920.
The association points out further
that since it began an active program
in 1905, the tuberculosis death rate
has been cut from 200 to a fgure
well below 100 per 100,000 population.
REV. GRIFFIN UNABLE
TO ASSIST IN COLUMBUS
Rev. Reese Griffin was invited to
Columbus to assist in the city-wide
campaign in_which all the churches
are uniting, but on account of press
ing duties in conncction with his own
church he was unable to leave just at
this time.
The experienice oi J. B. Bigger, a
well-known farmer,” living at Lowell,
N. €. R E.D. No. 1, furnishes an
other very striking illustration of the
value of Tanlac to persons suffering
from a run-down condition. While in
Gastonia the -other day Mr. Bigger
made the following statement:
“When 1 started taking Tanlac 1
had been laid up with typhoid and
malaria fever, which left me in mighty
bad shape. My sotmach was so out
of gear that nothing agreed with me.
My nerves were all unstrung and I
was so run down that I simply wasn't
worth a nickel so far as work was con
cerned. I was troubled with gas on
my stomach and had such bad dizzy
spells that I could hardly stand up.
“I took six bottles of Tanlac in all,
but I commenced to feel like a new
man before the second bottle was
gone. ‘My stomach misery, dizziness
and nervousness have left me entirely
I sleep like a log at night and feel as
strong and well as I ever did. I've
put a number of my iriends onto Tan
lac and it has helped them just like it
did me. I don’t believe it has an equal
in the world.”
