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 3.—Beware the un
erring Sphygometer. It detects lies,
and In & 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 pul
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 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 nphygometor. 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
116 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.
CUE 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-
gaheia River virtually stampeded the
male population, permanent and
transient, in the business and lower
end of the city. So great w r as 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 the 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 tr. make their ap
pearance afier 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.
Seeds Socks to Army,
Gets a Romance Note
WASHINGTON July 3.—Mrs. Susie
Jones, wife of John Jones, recently sent
socks and shirts to the striving war
riors in Europe. In the box she in
closed her name and address. Mrs.
Jones received a letter from Corporal
Richards, of the Police Rest Camp, sta
tioned at Southampton, England, telling
her he had received the shirts and
socks.
Going on the principle that letters
found In bottles have given rise to ten
der attachments between the sender and
the finder, the corporal, in his message,
hints at a romantic sequel to the gift.
Mrs. Jones says, however, he must look
elsewhere for his motion picture plot.

only a few miles a day, but when we
got into the country Claude gained
strength. I carried the blankets and
coffee pot. We camped by the road

"When we got here I looked for
work, but couldn’t find any. Then I
was walking by a hair store one day
ami the thought of selling my hair
occurred to me
"I went in and they clipped my
hair. I got $1.50 for It. That gave
us something to eat. The next morn
ing we walked to Excelsior and both
got work at the Meyfr home.”

Prince Horrifies the
Curbstone Lawyers
Troubetskoy Run* Down Street
Sweeper and “Settle*” With
Five-Dollar Bill.
NEW YORK, July 3 —Prince Paul
Troubetskoy believed for a few minutes
he had killed a man with his automo
bile at Sixth avenue and Fortieth street.
He was plunged into a horror of grief!
An ambulance surgeon ai.,i the victim
of the accident relieved the prince of
his fears. The victim, Louis Frelman,
of No. 749 East Ninth street, 35 years
old. n street sweeper, proved to have
suffered only superficial Injuries and
was able and ready to go unaided to his
home.
Overcome with the revulsion of feel
ing the prince pulled from his pocket
what appeared to be a roll of bills and
handed It to the bandaged street
sweeper. This horrified the curbstone
law acumen of the army of coolx,
waiters, *tC. # '-f a dozen natlonalit j*
from employment agencies in Sixth
avenue.
Shouts of warning in many languages
came from them. Frelman followed
Prince Troubetskoy, who had re-entered
his automobile. He spoke in Hunga
rian, fumbling in his pocket, from
which he drew one crumpled flve-dollar
hill. The prince listened, but seemed
unable to comprehend. He held his
steering wheel, listening.
"He sn.V* do you mean that money to
settle the case?’’ a volunteer interpreter
shouted.
An expression of surprise and disgust
curled the nrlnce’s lips.
"No! No! he exclaimed, impatiently.
"It is hi* Bet him keep it." Then he
threw in his dutch.
"Don't take it! Don’t take it!" the
pavement lawyers shouted, some of
them in English. The injured man
hurried after the automobile, but failed
to catch it, and the rrlnce drove off.

Youth in Sea Cliff Theft Case To Be Put in
Navy by Father as Electrician.
NEW YORK, July 3.—Ruth Taylor
Conlin, Sea Cliff heiress, and her
youthful friend, Donald Claphum, ar
rested for burglarizing Sea Cliff sum
mer homes, were discharged by Judge
Niemanu 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 aiso told a broth
er of Clapham is in an asvlum.
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.
A n d i—well, I am the woman in the
case, and will have to bear the odium.
But I shall not complain.” she said.
"Dove him? Of course, not. He yas
a pal—the kind of companion I 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 ttfi-t 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
blam eplaoed 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 *

nothing more. It was to appease it I
footed as I did. Now I am bearing the
burden.”

FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
17 Days to Dispose of $42,500.00
Worth of Merchandise
Twenty-five hundred dollars daily for seventeen days.
At the end of the seventeenth day the corporation of
Eiseman Bros, will be a matter of past history. We
must close out all of our stock because the building has
been rented for other purposes.
There is absolutely no time to lose. Nothing will
be moved elsewhere. The stock must be sold in seven-
teen days, and the only way to accomplish such a
tremendous task is to cut the prices until the public will
not only buy merchandise for their present needs, but
will anticipate several months ahead.
Tuesday morning, July 6th, we will begin our final
wind-up. The entire stock has been marked down until
selling prices now represent only a fraction of the orig
inal cost.
Some lines are broken—some sizes missing—but with a stock con
sisting of $42,500 worth of Fruhauf Brothers—Naumburg—Hirsh-
Wickwire world famous clothes—Stetson hats—Hess shoes—Manhat
tan shirts—and a host of other merchandise, there is enough induce
ment for the most particular to accumulate an extensive wardrobe not
only for their present needs but for the future.
The prices will be low enough. We guarantee that during our
last seventeen days we will reduce our prices enough to force
you, if necessary, to take advantage of this last opportunity.
Final Price Reductions Will Appear in Monday’s Papers.
The Final Wind-Up Commences Tuesday at 8 A. M.
