FTEARST’S HTJNOAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA. OA.. SUNDAY. JULY 4. 1915. 3 A r 4 i WILL DETECT IF WELL LIES One Thousand Tests at Harvard Reveal Unerring Accuracy of Applicance. MADE BY MUNSTERBERG Elimination of Fibbing Seems Likely—invention May Be Used in Many Cases. BOSTON, July 8.—Beware the un erring Sphygometer. It detects lies, •Jid In a thousand tests conducted for its inventor, Professor Hugo Mun-- stsrt>erg, at Harvard University, It has nevsr failed once, according to Moulton Marston, a senior, who con ducted the experiments for the noted psychologist. Thus far it has been tried only on Harvard students, but there Is a pos sibility that It may be applied to po- Utfo&l platforms, read estate adver tisements and sportive husbands. En thusiasts even believe it may elimi nate perjury from the courts and put summer resort wooing on a more sub stantial basis. The thousand experiments were made upon members of the Munster- berg classes In psychology. In each ease the result proved the same— whenever a falsehood was told the instrument disclosed the prevarica tion. Measures Blood Pressure. The sphygometer Is used primarily to measure blood pressure. It Is a four-sided elastic bag about four and a half inches wide and long enough to enolrcle the upper forearm. In the experiment for lying It is wrapped around the arm and outside of it a cuff of strong canvas Is firmly •trapped. Air is forced Into the bag by a tube, which is also connected to a dial manometer, an Instrument with a pointer which moves along a scale, forward and backward, as the air pressure In the tubes and the elastic bag Is increased or diminished. “When the subject takes the stand to tell his story—either false or true as he has chosen beforehand—his nor mal blood pressure Is first ascertained by the wphygometor. Sometimes when the witness seems unusually excited several such tests are made'at inter vals of several hours, or perhaps cov ering a day How It Works. As the witness testifies sphygmom eter readings are taken. When the truth was told by a subject with a normal blood pressure of 120 the dif ferent readings taken varied In the tests from 122, 124, 120, 119, 118 and 110 during the progress of the story. When these readings are plotted by the psychologist into a curve the line plotted shows a very gradual and slight downward direction. On the other hand, where the lying story was told when the witness started to falsify the 120 normal in stantly jumped up to 140, 144, 140, 134. 130 and perhaps returned to 120 again, though seldom. In the plotted line the curve was very distinct, with a strong upward turn. CAUSE FURORE Five Men Pushed Into River in Excited Crowd Viewing Diving Venuses. GIRLS’ IDENTITY A MYSTERY Retire to Handsome Houseboat After Swim and Fight Off All Investigators. FAIRMONT, W. VA„ July 3 —Clad in tights, five young Hebes sporting in the placid waters of the Monon- gahela River virtually stampeded the male population, permanent and transient, in the business and lower end of the city. So great was the rush to see the diving Venuses that five men -were pushed Into the river during the excitement by those in the rear, who were determined to get a glimpse. Business men, clerks, mechanics, railroad employees, river rats and ev ery human of the male species who could crowd on to tho bridge and riv er banks were on hand while the pretty young women disported them selves in the river. Apparently ob livious to the attention they were at tracting from the crowd, which num bered probably 1,000, the girls swam around for fully an hour and then made their way to a handsome house boat moored near the other side of the river. Although several of the curious males obtained boats and attempted to learn the identity of the fair swim mers, they refused to make their ap pearance after boarding their boat. Two men who went beyond the lim it placed by the girls found them selves struggling in the water. Their canoe was upset by the girls, who prodded the boat with a long pole.

He will send him away, and his escapade will soon be forgotten. And I—well. 1 am the woman in the case, and. will have to bear the odium. But I shall not complain." she said. "Love him? Of course, not. He was a pal—the kind of companion 1 had craved. He could dance and swim and do all such things that I adore. He -was very popular with the girls at Sea Cliff. But he favored me most, and that Is the reason the girls are persecuting me now—sneering when I pass and gathering up their skirts as though I would contaminate them. "Since all this trouble has hap pened they have said terrible things about me. But they are not true, and I want the world to know they are not true. I am not entitled to have all the j blam eplaced upon me, but a woman in trouble has a hard time to arouse sympathy—from women. "With Don It Is different. It is only an escapade. Understand, I am not complaining. I have no grievance against him nor against anyone else. All I ask Is that the world consider my very soul thirsted for compan.unship. nothing more. It was to appease It I acted as I did. Now I am bearing the burden." Zinc Prices Doubled By European War WEBB CITY, MO..
