The machine invented by a Chicago
woman to measure the emotions GER
tainly ought to fill long-felt want,
but it will have to be strongly built.
When it comes to measuring some
feminine emotions on some occasions
it will have to do mighty quick work
and measure a good many conflicting
emotions at practically the same mo-
ment. However, it ought to be a
good thing for lovers. Heretofore
there has been little reliable evidence
as to the exact amount of love that
one person feels for another.
