MADE BY MUNSTERBERG
Elimination of Fibbing Seems
Likely—Invention May Be Used
in Many Cases.
BOSTON, July 3.—Beware the un
erring Sphygometer. It detects lies,
and in a thousand tests conducted for
Its inventor, Professor Hugo Mun-
sterberg, at Harvard University, it
has never 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
litical platforms, real 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
case 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 encircle 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
strapped.
Air 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 sphygometer. Sometimes when
the witness seems unusually excited
several such te$»ts 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
116 during the progress of the story.
When these readings are plotted by
the psychologist lnto„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
r strong upward turn.

It is the function of the kidneys to
filter uric acid from the blood and

rheumatism, aching back, puffy and
swollen muscles, spots before the eyes,
dropsy, diabetes, dizziness, scalding
and dribbling of the urine. Stuart’s
Buchu and Juniper Compound has
been used for years to clean out im
purities and uric acid from the
kidneys and bladder, thus ending all
kidney and bladder weakness and
doing away with all irritating symp
toms. curing dropsy and diabetes.
Stuart’s Buchu and Juniper is a fine
kidney regulator and has helped thou
sands of sufferers from weak kidneys
by making kidneys strong and well.

Ubontorr In the South.
NEW YORK, July 3.—Ruth Taylor
Conlin, Sea Cliff heiress, and her
youthful friend, Donald Clapham. ar
rested for burglarizing Sea Cliff sum
mer homes, were discharged by Judge
Niemann at Mineola under suspended
sentences.
Attention of the judge was called to
the fact that the Taylor girl is not de
veloped as well mentally as she Is
physically. He was aJso told a broth
er of Clapham is fn an asylum.
Dr. A. E. Smylie, the girl’s family
physician, volunteered to take her
into his home. Young Clapham will
be placed in the.navy as an electri
cian by his father.
Mrs. Conlin bore up well under the
ordeal, but when it was over she col
lapsed.
Before the trial the girl made a pa
thetic statement.
"Papa Clapham is going to take care
of Don. He will send him away, and
his escapade will soon be forgotten.
And I—well, I 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 1 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 1
pass and gathering up their skirts a3
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
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 escaeade. Understand, I am not
complaining. I have no grievance
against him nor against anyone else
■All I h.sk is that the world consider my
very soul thirsted for companionship,
nothing more. It was to appease it I
acted as I did. Now I am bearing the
burden.”

T. C. O'Sullivan, of Tumulty’s
Staff, Secretly Weds New
Jersey Girl.
WASHINGTON. July 3.—A White
House romance has come to light. It
centered around parental opposition
to the marriage of Miss Louise Fos
ter Lynch, of Lakewood, N. J., to
Thomas* C. O’Sullivan, a Princeton
graduate, who was appointed to a po
sition on the official staff of Joseph
P. Tumulty, the secretary to the
President, a few months ago.
Mr. Tumulty got a telegram from
Mr. O’Sullivan to meet him at the
Union Station here on the arrival of
a certain train. Mr. Tumulty was
there and greeted Mr. O’Sullivan as
he stepped from a parlor car. With
Mr. O’Sullivan was a handsome
young lady.
"Permit me,” said Mr. O’Sullivan.
“Mrs. O’Sullivan.”
And the bride had her first expe
rience of riding in a motor car deco
rated with the crest of the President
of ihe lfnited States.
Mrs. O’Sullivan Is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Lynch, of Lake-
wood, who are said to be wealthy.
She met Mr. O’Sullivan two years
ago, when he was an undergraduate
at Princeton. It was a case of love at
first sight. Bui Mr. and Mrs. Lynch
did not look with favor on the desire
of the young people to get married,
according to the way the story was
told. This was made known plainly
to Mr. O’Sullivan, and he and Mies
Lynch did not see each other at her
home. They kept up a correspond
ence, however, and made prepara
tions for starting housekeeping. Each
began to save for the future.
Miss Lynch, who was soon to be
Mrs. O’Sullivan, got permission to
pay an extended visit to friends In
New York. When she took a trunk
along it excited no suspicion. From
New York she telegraphed Mr. O’Sul
livan, and he went to New York on
the first train available. The mar
riage took place there.
When Mr. and Mrs. O’Sullivan
reached Wanhing^on they sent a tele
gram to Mr. and Mrs. Lynch at I^ake-
wood informing them of their daugh
ter's marriage.
Community Is Held
To Blame for Evil
MANHATTAN, KANR, July 3.—“A
lot of religious people think they can
ho^ revivals and save the boy or girl
who has sown wild oats. The better
way is to take care of our communi
ty's children and keep them from go
ing wrong In the first place.” This
was the advice given by tne Itev. J. M.
Dunlavy, preacher-policeman from Kan
sas City, to the Kansas Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teachers’ Associa
tions.
“The boy or girl goes wrong, not be
cause of training in home, church or
school, but because of the training the
community has given him. He is taught
loafing and Idleness in the pool halls,
robbery and murder at the picture
shows, immorality at the public dance
halls and in parks.”

Beppo Martino’s Heart Is Broken
Over Loss of Long Cherished
Financee.
CHICAGO, July 3.—Beppo Mar lino,
miner and adventurer; will embark
soon on his last "prospect.” Some
where, in the service of his native
Italy, he hopes to face the bullets he
prays will end u life no longer de
sired. His greatest dream has been
shattered; his life's romance is ended.
Nothing matters. His heart is
"broken,” he declares.
The call to the colors following the
declaration of war against Austria-
Hungary by Italy came at an oppor
tune time—for Beppo.
In the breasts of the young men
crowding the offices of the local Ital
ian Consulate burns the fire of pa
triotism. They hear nothing but the
call of the llag and their King. With
Beppo it is different. With him there
Is no enthusiasm, no smiles; not even
tears. That he is going to fight for
the iiag means nothing to him.
Behind his grimness, his silence, is
nothing but despair. He has lost what
he wanted moat in life. He lias lost
his Rosa.
“My Rosa is dead,” is his answer to
those who asked of his sorrow. “She
could not wait for me—«he marry an
other and is gone away.”
Fourteen years ago Beppo came to
America to find the wealth which
would enable him to marry the girl of
his heart. He was 17 and alive with
the hope. From Chicago he drifted
to California. Someone had told him
that there was gold left In the moun
tains there.
In San Francisco he met* an old
prospector. The two became friends
and then partners. Up In the moun
tains of Trinidad County they tolled
under the hot suns—always inspired
with the gold seekers’ promise of to
morrow. Five years went by and the
end of the rainbow was still unfound.
From California to Nevada they went
on the fruitless quest—from there to
Colorado and British Columbia.
Five years ago Beppo wrote to his
fiancee. He still hoped and asked her
to wait. Her reply came that she was
sailing soon for America, to live with
some cousins. Meanwhile Beppo and
his partner tolled. At times It was
hard to bear up, but gold is alluring,
even in prospect.
There were no more letters between
Beppo and his fiancee. They lost
track of each other. At last, after
fourteen years of toll, Beppo found
’pay.” It was In Alaska. There was
not a great deal, just enough for him
to sell out h1s Interest for what would
seem like a fortune back home in
Italy. He left the northland with his
gold and his dream of Rosa.
Then came the end of the dream.
Rosa had married and had gone back
to Italy. She tired of waiting and,
being pretty, she had many suitors.
She chose one and forgot about Bep
po.
