TO WOP LUBS
BOSTON, Mass.—“ Death to liars”
might well be the label on the new
invention of William H. Marston, of
the Harvard university faculty. He
calls it the sphygmomanometer. It's
the latest achievement by means of
which truth, crushed to earth, will
rise again on demand and at » mo
ment’s notice.
The instrument is said to be li.
fallible in detecting a lie. Its chief
benefit, however, will be detecting
untruths in criminal cases, accord
ing to the inventor.
Mr. Marston claims that in every
case where the sphygmomanometer
was applied in court it unerringly
detected statements that were un
true. It vaguely resembles the ap
paratus with which blood pressure
is taken. and is a part of the devel
opment of scientific detection of
crime started at Harvard under Pro
fessor Munsterberg in 1915.
“The whole secret.” Mr. Marston
“lies in the fact that any per
son telling an untruth experiences
an emotion which affects the blood
pressure and breathing. The effort
to make what is untrue appear true
" causes an exertion which can be
traced.
“The legal problems raised by the
use of psychological tests in court
or probation procedure are compli
cated and interesting,” said Mr. Mar
ston. “But before we can consider
them we must discover whether or
not psychological development justi
fies them.
“The simplicity of the apparatus
and methods is its first recommenda
tion. The instrument is attached to
the left arm above the elbow. The
operator takes frequent pressure
during cross-examination.
"In eight tests in court it showed
complete truth told by some sub
jects aand consistent lying by others.
In five cases the examiner was able
to pick out points upon which the
defendants lied and other points on
which they were telling the truth.”
Wholesale Prices for
April Drop 5 Per Cent
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Whole
sale prices for April showed a de
cline of 5 per cent from March and
42 per cent from April, 1920, in fig
ures made public today by the de
partment of labor. A decline of 43 1-2
per cent was shown from the high
peak of last May.
Farm products decreased 8 per
cent in April. Food articles decreased
6 per cent, clothing a little over 3
per cent, fuel and lighting materials
3 3-4 percent and building materials
2 1-2 per cent. Metals showed a de
cline of only about 3-4 per cent,
chemicals and drugs dropped 1 3-4
per cent, lubricating oil, jute, rub
ber, news-print and wrapping paper,
soap, tobacco and wood pulp showed
a decline of 7 3-4 per cent.
Oil Policy of U. S.

WASHINGTON. May 17. —It is the
policy of the American government
in every part of the world “to inquire
and make representations to foreign
governments wherever it appears
that monopolistic petroleum conces
sion might be granted to the possible
detriment of American citizens,” ac
cording to a state department report
signed by Secretary Hughes and
transmitted to the senate today in
answer to a resolution passed by the
senate a year ago.

100,000 PEOPLE EAT
BIGGEST PIE ON EARTH
OS f
-/ft
/SaSSST...<• v. ’S'? .
i
* 50 in.
FRESNO, Cal.—One hundred thousand people helped to eat this
pie.
It was the world’s largest pie, made of raisins and weighing 150
pounds, the center of attraction at the annual raisin festival held
here recently.
This huge raisin pie measured fifty inches across and caused an
average-sized pie, shown in the upper right corner, to fade into in
significance.
Miss Helen Hausen, shown above, was chosen as queen of the
festival from among hundreds of popular beauties.
MONSTER BEAST OF OLD
USED TO EAT ELEPHANTS
Believe it or not:
Some time ago there lived an ani
mal 160 feet long whose legs were
so heavy they crushed right through
the ground, which had to amble
along on its belly like a, crocodile,
half-swimming, half-toddling on the
water when it took long journeys
through the huge forests of ages
ago; whose neck stretched up forty
feet to the tree branches when it
was hungry for crisp salads of
young tree shoots; and whose tail
angled about in the brush and
swamp eighty feet behind him, when
it wobbled along, like a moving
island of flesh, in search of small
elephants and other animals for
breakfast. And scientists today be
lieve the huge beast —they call it
gigantosaurus —must have weighed
at least two hundred tons, that is,
forty times as much as a very big
elephant.
Bones of Creature Found
Hard to believe? Yes, but Dr.
Fraas, exploring near Tendiagoroo,
fifty miles from the coast of Ger
man East Africa, found the bones
of this huge creature. The skeleton
was twice as long and many times
as great as that of any of the dip
lodocuc and atalantosaurus which
have caused consternation among the
people of this modern world when
they were unearthed by scientists
after having been buried in recesses
of clay and stone for more than a
million years.
The gigantosaurus is almost too
big for us to conceive what It
looked like when it was wandering
about on this earth. The lover of
sport with much imagination may
sometimes dream of searching
through unknown territory and sud
denly find that what he thought was
a huge mound of earth was really
a living creature of monstrous di
mensions—the shot he fires seems
scarcely able to penetrate the thick
hide—he dreams he is being over
taken—and then wakes up—glad he
didn’t live in the “dear dead days.”
Two Theories About them
Scientists estimate that these
huge animals passed out of exist
ence millions of years before man
came to inhabit the earth. Or else
that they decreased in size and fe
rocity with the progress of the ages,
and that perhaps they were the an
cestors of present day crocodiles and
other such reptiles.
As basis for this belief they men
tion the fact that many animals
have been known to decrease through
the ages, while others enlarged
and became more commanding, such
as the horse, which, it is said, was
the size of an ordinary house dog
ages ago, or the man, who may not
have been any larger than present
day dwarfs at some time or other.
At any rate it is all a matter of
conjecture, as experts in Berlin are
putting the huge bones of the gi
gantosaurus together to mount it
for the museum of that ctiy.—To
leda Blade.
SCHEME TO MULCT
HfiBCHKO
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Congress
this week will start an investigation
of charges that several recently
formed service men’s organizations
are nothing more than "get rich
quick Wallingford schemes for their
promoters.
Information has been collected by
Representative Royal Johnson. South
Dakota, who has employed private de
tectives, that these organizations not
only seek to mulct the former service
men, but also have been successful
in soliciting large subscriptions
from public men interested in the
welfare of disabled men and poli
ticians.
Mr. Johnson expects to introduce
a resolution naming the organiza
tions which he claims are of a “wild
cat oil” or “mushroom” nature. The
house rules committee has decided to
make a preliminary investigation of
the charges later in the week. Upon
the introduction of the Johnson reso
lution. it will be sent to the alleged
promoters and they will be asked to
testify as to their organizations.
“The promoters of these fake serv
ice men’s organizations have display
ed a remarkable cleverness and dar
ing,” said Mr. Johnson. “They in
duced such men as Herbert Hoover,
Senator Wadsworth and Rabbi Wise
to allow their names to be used as
members of honorary executive com
mittees and the like. I have letters
from Rabbi Wise and others stat
ing that they have discovered the
nature of the organizations and have
withdrawn their support.”
Mr. Johnson charged that one of
the organizations is headed by an
ex-convict and that the annual office
payroll of another is $60,000. The
office force, he added, is very small.
Three of the organizations Mr. John
son has investigated have headquar
ters in New York and have collected
large sums of money, while another
has a Washington branch and has
been threatening political action
against several congressmen unless
they contributed S2OO. according to
the congressmen.
Four Are Injured
In Dalton Fight
DALTON, Ga., May 17.—Two
women and two men were injured,
more or less severely, in a fight Sat
urday night in Manlytown, in the
western part of the city. Mrs. Net
tie Walker was severely cut in the
side and may die as a result; her
sister, Mrs. Ed Coyle, was stabbed
in the shoulder, and Ed Coyle was
badly cut in the arms. Joe Dyer,
who used the knife, was beaten
about the head and face, but was
the only one whose condition would
permit his being lodged in jail.
Coyle and his wife and sister-in
law lived in a house owned by Dyer,
who had a room in it. Dyer states
he had given them notice to vacate,
and Saturday night, when he started
into his room, the three attacked
him, Coyle striking him oyer the
head with a stick, and he then opened
his knife and cut his way out of
the house.
A hearing of the matter will be
postponed until it can be determined
whether or not the Walker woman
will live.
Chicken Fancier Seeks
Protection for Eggs
NEW YORK. May 17.—The Ameri
can hen wants protection from for
eign competition.
According to H. W. Kerrigan, Cal
ifornia chicken farmer, the poultry
industry in this country, which does
an annual business of $1,250,000,000,
faces complete demoralization
through this invasion.
Mr. Kerrigan, who is secretary of
the chamber of commerce of Peta
luma, Cal., the chicken center of the
United States, is touring the country
in an effort to crystallize sentiment
for a protective tariff on eggs. He
said that hundreds of poultrymen
have already been forced out of busi
ness.
FEWER INSPECTORS
ASKEDB£BUREAU
The state legislature is asked to
reduce the number of oil and fertil
izer inspectors in Georgia to a min
imum, while “a larger and more pro
gressive educational program for the
rural schools” is urged, in resolu
tions adopted Monday afternoon by
the advisory board of the Georgia
Farm Bureau federation meeting in
the headquarters of the bureau in
the Chamber of Commerce building.
The board also adopted resolutions
warmly commending Governor-elect
Thomas W. Hardwick for his an
nounced policy of economy in state
affairs, and pledged to him the sup
port of the farm bureau in carrying
out this policy.
The resolution calling upon the
state to reduce the number of oil in
spectors pointed out that at present
there are approximately 163 inspec
tors in the state, and that they are
paid an average salary of SIUU
monthly. The resolution declares that
by reducing this number to six, and
having the oil inspected at terminsl
points and sealed, with two or three
traveling inspectors totravel- from
one point to another, more than
SIOO,OOO alone would be saved the
state in salaries.
Oil inspectors In Georgia are not
paid by the state, it was pointed out,
but by fees from the oil companies.
These fees, instead of going to the
inspectors, would be paid into the
state treasury, under the terms of
the resolution.
Similar arguments were advanced
asking that the fertilizer inspectors
be reduced in number.
At the morning session of the
board, a resolution was unanimously
passed asking the legislature to
abolish the state bureau of markets,
the resolution declaring that by so
doing $50,000 annually would be
saved the state.
The resolution set out that the
state college of agriculture was do
ing exactly the same work that the
bureau of markets was supposed to
do, and that there was no necessity
for a duplication of this work in the
state.
The board also went on record, fol
lowing short addresses by the offi
cers of the federation, as being op
posed to the Sapiro plan of cotton
marketing. Resolutions declaring
that the plan was impracticable, un
sound and not feasible at this time,
were unanimously adopted.
A letter from Charles S. Barrett,
chairman of the organization com
mittee of the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers’ association, asking the board to
pass resolutions indorsing the Sapiro
plan, was read after the resolutions
withholding approval from the plan
were passed.
The meeting was attended by sev
enteen members of the board, repre
senting the twelve congressional dis
tricts of the state. Reports from
the treasurer showed the finances
to be in good shape, while Secretary
•L G. Olliver and President R. A.
Kelley said that organization work
throughout the state was progress
ing favorably. It was show- that
the bureau now has more than 10,-
000 members in Georgia. The meet
ing adjourned late Monday after
noon.
Murder and Shooting
Affray Sunday in
Laurens County
DUBLIN, Ga„ May 17.—Sunday
and Sunday night recorded a murder,
a serious shooting and various mirior
scraps and cutting frolics in Dublin
and Laurens county, the largest list
received by the sheriff on Monday
morning here in some time.
J. O. Kennedy, a well-known white
farmer, shot and seriously .zounded
“Bud” Scoggins, another well known
white farmer, at Minter, about eight
miles from Dublin, Sunday night.
Scoggings was shot through the lung,
and chances are he may not recover.
He was sitting on the front of Ken
nedy’s store, disputing with him, ac
cording to eye witnesses, one word
bringing on another, until Kennedy
stepped out and shot Scoggins. It is I
said an old feud between the men
was the cause of the dispute. Ken
nedy has disappeared.
Cleveland Grace, a negro, was
stabbed to death by John Mincey
Sunday afternoon, and Mincey is now
in jail. Grace walked up to where
Mincey was sitting in a buggy and
demanded to be given the place.
Mincey refused. Some words en
sued, and Mincey stabbed Grace in
the neck with a pocket knife, cut
ting the jugular vein. Mincey escap
ed but was caught late Sunday night,
and placed in jail. His father,
Reuben Mincey, is serving a life
sentence for murder, while his two
urtcles are serving ten year terms
each.
Lake May, a negro, was cut in the
shoulder by a negro girl, Lollie
Stafford. May claims the cutting was
accidental, and both were playing.
He is not seriously hurt.
“Jaz” Personifies
Music’s Evil Spirt,
Authority Declares
CHICAGO. —Jazz is the evil spirit
of music, according to Dr. Frank E.
Morton, chairman of the music indus
tries committee, who spoke at the
opening of the music trades conven
tion here.
“Jazz,” said Dr. Morton, “expresses
hysteria and incites to idleness, revel
ry, dissipation, destruction, discord
and chaos. It accords with the de
vastating, volcanic spirit that has
burst forth over the world in the last
six years. Rhythm and musical vi
brations swayed the half savage voo
dooists like a powerful intoxicant.
“The difference between the incan
tation-crazed fanatics and the patri
ot or soldier stirred to noble action
by music is a difference in the mu
sic itself. Jazz is compounded after
the same formula as the Ypgdoo
chants. Typifying the unbalanced
state of humanity’s mind, it tends
to unhinge it more and more. Flu
man nerve tissues respond to this
perverted organization of sound just
as readily as did those of the Voo
doo zealots, and just as readily will
they respond to music of the higher
ennobling order. The world needs
good music as never before.
“Seldom do you hear ‘Home. Sweet
Home’ sung now. With ‘Home, Sweet
Home’ silenced, home itself tends to
disappear. With home swallowed up
in the cabaret, the great stabilizing
center of society is lost.”
Oldest Veteran at
Reunion Is 92
ALBANY. Ga., May 17. —When the
Georgia Confederate veterans were
here last week, little Bessie Wright,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Wright, Hilsman Heights, this city,
made a careful canvass among the
men to see if she could find one old
er than her grandfather, William M.
Peed, of Louvale, who was his son’s
guest for the festivities. Bessie
could find no other veteran who was
as old as ninety-one, her grandfa
ther’s age, so she came to the con
clusion that he was the oldest, ana
made public claim for him of that
honor.
Mr. Peed, despite his “four score
years and eleven,” was remarkably
active during the reunion, and en
joyed the fun and frolic as much
as any of his fellows. But after
the reunion was over, friends of John
B. Neundorfer, Albany, reminded his
fellow citizens of the fact that he
was ninety-two years old. Few of
them had realized he was that old,
making him the oldest veteran at
tending the reunion, because of his
wonderful activity and the lightness
with which his years sit upon him.

WILL TEST POISON GAS
AGAINST U.S. NAVY
The use of poisonous gas against
naval vessels under simulated bat
tle conditions will be tested for the
first time during bombing experi
ments to be conducted off the Atlan
tic coast beginning June 21. While
army and navy aerial forces are co
operating in an effbrt to demonstrate
the effectiveness of aerial bombs
against modern naval vessels, the
chemical warfare service of the army
will be launching a poison gas at
tack from the air against one or
more warships in an attempt to
show that the navy must immediate
ly bitild up defenses against a new
and terrible menace—asphyxiation.
Ship to Carry Crew
Under present plans the ship to be
gassed will have a crew aboard. Non
explosive bombs filled with “tear gas”
will be dropped and every man on
board the vessel will be required to
keep within the protected areas and
wear a gas mask.
Officers of the chemical warfare
service believe that by using a gas
of intolerable concentration, that is
of sufficient strength to incapacitate
but not to kill, the service can prove
its contention that in the next war
battleships must be made literally
airtight to protect the crews.
The chemical warfare service and
the war department are co-operating
in conducting experiments in the use
of toxic gases at sea and in building
up adequate defenses to protect the
American sailors in the next war.
As a result of these experiments im
portant changes may be made in the
design of new ships and of some al
ready under construction, but not yet
far advanced.
Intolerable to Eyes
The “tear gas” which the chemical
Warfare Service proposes to use in
the coming tests is known to chem
ists as brombenzylcyanide. The mix
ture is intolerable to the eyes, but
is not dangerous. The significance
of the effect on the battleship per
sonnel, army officers assert, will lie
in the fact that it is of a concentra
tion and persistency exactly similar
to the instantly fatal gases which
the chemical warfare service is pre
pared to use against a hostile navy
in time of war.
It was pointed out today by army
officers that the ventilating system
of all warships was based on a suc
tion system drawing air through
tubes to every part of the vessel.
This system, they declared, ' would
be thee hies ally of an enemy gas
attack, sucking into every nook and
corner of the vessel the deadly gases
introduced into the ship of deck
piercing shells dropped from aircraft.
Gases already prepared and in stock
are of such deadly mivture, the of
ficers declare, that one whiff will
kill almost instantly.
Toxic Smoke Screen
The chemical warfare service has
also developed, it was learned, an
other deadly weapon to be used in
naval warfare in the future. It is
a “toxic smoke" called diphenylchror
arsine. It is designed to be used in
place of the smoke screen heretofore
laid down by destroyers to shield the
main fleet from the enemy.
This “toxic smoke” consists of
dense poisonous dust clouds design
ed to be liberated on the surface of
the sea through bombs and smoke
boxes placed to windward of the
enemy force. The poison dust will
be drawn into the ventilating sys
tem of the hostile ships, the officers
assert, with particularly deadly ef
fect. It has not been decided wheth
er the “toxic smoke” principal, using
non-deadly ingredients, will also be
given a trial during the coming
tests.
A third innovation the chemical
warfare service is working on is the
development of a system of placing a
smoke screen over a fleet by the
use of smoke bombs attached to para
chutes and dropped from aircraft or
similar bombs fired into the air from
guns on the vessels. A smoke or
gas is being developed for this use
that will hover in the air two or
three hundred feet above the ships.
Fear Foison Menace Most
Naval officers admit that they are
concerned over the application of
chemical science to war on the sea.
At the annual chemical warfare serv
ice dinner held here recently Rear
Admiral W. S. Smith, in charge of
patents and inventions at the navy
department, declared that the navy
was not nearly so concerned over the
prospect of being “blown out of the
water” by aerial bombs as it was
over the development of poison
gases, as an offensive weapon against
sea craft.

IHOPE CMIP GORDON
MAY YETBE SB
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
023 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Seeking
some definite indication from the war
department regarding the disposition
of Camp Gordon, or the settlement of
a claim of $190,000 in behalf of the
city of Atlanta for laying water
mains to the camp, W. Zode Smith,
general manager of the Atlanta wa
ter works, remained over in Wash
ington Tuesday for further consul
tation with officials.
Mr. Smith and Representative Wil
liam D. Upshaw were scheduled to
day to see General Pershing regard
ing the fate of Camp Gordon. That
General Pershing will recommend
that Camp Gordon be not abandoned
is well known. He has been a friend
of the camp all along and he and
Secretary Baker tried to save it last
fall when congress ordered its aban
donment effective July 1 of this year.
In the end, the decision about the
camp is up to congress, but there is
just a possibility that General Persh
ing and Secretary Weeks will come
strongly to the rescue of Gordon and
save it at the last moment. Other
wise, under the congressional man
date, it must go.
The Atlanta water works represen
tative is here in the interest of the
city and on the assumption that the
camp is to go. If the camp is re
tained. the Atlanta water works has
no bill against the government. If
the camp is sold, Atlanta wants to
be reimbursed for the large sums ex
pended in getting water to Gordon.
All the satisfaction so far obtain
ed is the promise of a careful con
sideration of the Atlanta claim. The
bigger question, however, is whether
Pershing can save the camp.
Property owners along the Camp
Gordon car line north of Oglethorpe
•university are petitioning the war
department to make definite an
! nouncement regarding the camp. At-
I lanta interests in general want as
! surances on this point, but in the
i end the war department is helpless
'to prevent the dismantling of the
camp unless congress will have a
heart and allow the camp to contin
ue. During the last session, the
Camp Gordon item was fought over
for days, and the best compromise
obtainable by Senator Hoke Smith,
Senator Harris and members of the
delegation was a postponement of
the time for abondonment until the
end of the current fiscal year.

JACKSONVILLE MAN
BEATEN;FIVE HELD
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 17.
Dr. P. E. Watts, W. E. Vanleen, Dick
Hiers, Marvin and Harry Ford were
arrested in South Jacksonville Sat
urday by Deputies W. D. Vinzant,
Jr., Meade Hunt, Lum Arnold, Ben
Jones, Al Hines, John Miller and S.
Varney, charged with kidnaping and
beating F. E. Chambers, night, opera
tor for the Florida East Coast rail
way on the south side of the river.'
Chambers claims that he was kid
naped once before, unmercifully
beaten and ordered to leave the city
under pain of death.
The, victim of the alleged kidnap
ers who are well-known South Jack
sonville men, was returning from a
dance in Lorette, with a friend, when
his car, which had been previously
tampered with, stalled. The men,
about fifteen or twenty in number,
appeared from the bus’hes near the
road, he said, and administered the
beating, striking him numerous
times over the head with gun butts,
and ordering him to leave the city.
A number of the assailants were
recognized and the arrests followed.
It is said that the deputies held
warrants for sixteen others. The
hearing will be held Friday in the
Duval county courthouse.
The new issue of Polk’s annual
city directory credits Jacksonville
with a population of 121,862. The
facts bear out the contention of peo
ple here that the official census put
the Jacksonville figure too low. The
new figure includes names of people
in territory outside the city limits

Wily Turk Leader
Rivals Marne Hero
As War Strategist
ANGORA, Turkey.—lsmet fPasha,
who defeated the Greeks at the val
ley entrance before the city of Eski-
Shehr, has become a nationalist hero
second only to Mustapha Kemal Pa
sha.
His victory has made foreigners
remember that the Turks have been
fighting for nine years, on a stretch,
and are the only soldiers in Europe,
except the Hungarians, their blood
relatives, who are not tired out.
Ismet Pasha used the winter in
organizing the rabble of an army left
ever from the armistice and which
was defeated by the Greeks ten
months ago. He won his battle by
letting the enemy think he was go
ing to retreat; then he about-faced
and counter attacked. He has stated
that he used the tactics of Joffre at
the Battle of the Marne.
The victory is of vast importance
for the Turkish Nationalists, and its
political importance may be such as
eventually to drive the Allied troops
out of Constantinople, let them be
replaced in political influence by
Moscow, and also encourage the
Serbs and Bulgars to take advantage
of a weakened Greece. It is pointed
out here that those nations respon
sible for not preventing the Greek
offensive appear to have been so con
fident of the success of Greek arms
that they did not stop to consider
the consequences of Greek defeat.
Ismet Pasha is forty-five years
old and deaf. His deafness is cited
by the Turks, who love silence and
contemplation, as one of the reasons
of his successful planning. He Is a
product of the great war, having
been chief of the general staff under
Enver Pasha.
Former Austrian Duke
Is Failure as Actor
When Forced to Work
BERLIN—The former Archduke
Leopold Ferdinand of Austria, who
is now appearing nightly as a per
former in a Berlin cabaret, was pre
vented by the Berlin police from
wearing an admiral’s uniform and
is compelled to wear the clothing
of a private soldier.
Like many other members of once
powerful royal families who were
unhorsed and bankrupted by the
war he was forc’ed to work for a
living, his total iticome from his
Austrian properties now amounting
to only 3,000 kronen, or about $4
monthly.
So when he appeared for a job
as cabaret entertainer a sketch was
written so that he could play his
part of a prince who had fallen
from high estate.
The Berlin public. accustomed
since the war to onetime royal per
sonages in abject financial circum
stances, still was not habituated to
seeing an archduke on the boards.
The first night audience heard the
archduke through without applause.
Then, in the painful, embarrassed
silence, a man rose by his table and
loudly clapped his
a onetime German grand-duke, who
also Is working for his daily sus
tenance. From one table came a
low hissing at this profanation of
majesty.
The onetime archduke appears un
der the name of Leopold Wolflings,
a pseudonym which he has also
used in a number of articles he has
written for newspapers.
Rude Chicken Thieves
Take Fancy Poultry,
Watch Dog and Coop
MATAWAN, N. J.—lt would be
hard to convince James Clark, a
chicken fancier of Midway Green,
near here, of the truth of the old
wheeze, that “an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.”
Recently Clark bought six pedi
greed chickens, and to make certain
of their safety from prowlers, he
purchased a hound dog to guard
them, chaining it to the chicken coop.
The expected thief or thieves paid a
visit and not only took the chickens,
but the dog and chain as well.
