The State of Virginia at The recent SEES
sion Of its legislature passed novel
dog law, which il is believed will enable
that State to raise sheep successfully on a
large amount of waste land heretofore
idle. This law makesit a misdemeanor
punishable BY fine up to $50 for the
owner to allow his dogs to RIM at large
in the country.
This waste land, while entirely suitable
for sheep raising, was not we'll adapted TO
cattle. for the reason that winter feed in
those districts was too high TO make the
wintering of beef cattle profitable. All
that stood in the way of profitable sheep
Industry was dogs, which were kept in
large numbers in the shanty settlements.
These dogs, which were rarely fed al
home, lived on the young game during
the spring and summer and preyed on the
sheep whenever they were not watched,
and especially in winter.

He Tells the Truth.
When you are telling a lie you
breathe differently from when you are
telling the truth. The difference was
discovered by means of some tests
made upon his students by Professor
Benussi of Graz.
He prepared cards bearing letters,
figures and diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards correct
~, except in certain cases when the
cards were marked with red star
and the students receiving them were
required to describe them falsely. Each
student was watched carefully by his
fellows, who. ignorant Of the nature
of the card, tried to judge from his
manner whether he was telling the
truth or not The watchers were un-
able to judge with any certainty.
But before each man began his test
the time occupied in inspiration and
expiration was measured, and the
measurement was taken again imme-
diately after he finished. 1t was found
that the utterance Of a false statement
always increased anu the utterance Of
true statement always diminished,
the quotient obtained by dividing the
time of inspiration by the time Of ex-
piration.
DIR. Anton Rose, commenting In Die
Umschau on these results remarks
that the discovery furnishes certain
criterion between truth and falsehood.
For even a clever liar is likely to fan
in an attempt to escape detection by
breathing irregularly. Professor Be

respiration so as to affect the result

The Success of New York To Be Seen

If you are fond of good love

the principal roles-if you enjoy a
battle royal between two mighty
forces-the indominitable will of man
and the clever wits of bright wom-
an go see "The Lion and the Mouse"
which George III. Bubb will present
at the Armory Saturday, March Fl.
If you wish a few suggestions con-
corning the terrible part that wealth
plays in the political, economical and
social life ,of our country you will
find them easily obtainable. And, if
you care for only good play so adj
mirably played, that it will give you
an evening of thorough enjoy Vent,
you will not be disappointed.
In the plot for story Mr.. Klein
has taken judge who after long and
faithful service on the bench has
toned and his position placed in jeo-
pardy, from having handed down a
decision unfavorable to great ANAL
gamated interests of John Burkett
Ryder and his fellows. His upright
ness, thorn in the side of the capt.
taHsts, induces them to resort to a
scheme to dishonor and depose him.
The daughter of the judge returns
from Europe just as the blow falls
and finding her father disgraced and
in poverty, takes the matter in her
own hands.
With the aid of Ryder's son, JEFF
ferson, who has fallen in love with
her, and who is adverse to his fathers
questionable schemes, she goes to the
Ryder home where under an assumed
name she interests herself in the
writing of John Burkett Ryder's bio
graphy. Finding in the girl much
to interest him, the money king con-
fides in her and she wins his conf
dence to such an extent that he fin
ally asks her to become the wife of
his son In doing this he is well
aware that the boy, Jefferson, is in
love with the daughter of his enemy,
Judge Rossmore, but he believes he
will offset that marriage by marry
ing his son to the supposed author
of his biography, the supposed Miss
Green. Shirley Rossmore's love for
jefferson however will not permit of
her further deception and she tells
John Burkett Ryder, that she, Sarah
Green, is the real Shirley Rossmore.
In a fit of anger Ryder orders her
from his house, whereupon she de-
nounces him, refusing to marry his
son, the son of a man who will not
lift his hand to save her. fathers
honor. This leads to complications in
teresting in the extreme, but it would
be unfair to reveal the entire story
at this time.

Eleanor Wilson
To Wed MCAdOO
Statement From White House Says
Miss Wilson viii Become Bride of
Secretary of the Treasury

Washington, March 1.-THE presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson announce the
engagement of their youngest daugh-
Ger, Eleanor Randolph, to William
Gibbs McAdoo.
This announcement was issued at
the White House by Secretary Tumul-
ty.
For weeks there have been rumors
that the presidents daughter and the
secretary of the treasury would be
married soon and in the last day or
two there has been no denial that an
announcement could be expected. The
exact date of the wedding is not
known, but it is generally believed
that it will be some time in June.
There has been extraordinary inter-
est in the engagement among officials
and the many friends Miss Wilson
and the cabinet officer have made
during the year they have been in
the capital. The youngest of the fam
lily, Miss Eleanor is said to be her
fathers pet, and there is q strong
personal friendship between the presi-
dent and the man who is TO marry his
daughter.
Reports that Secretary McAdoo
would retire from the cabinet after
his marriage and perhaps become am
bassador to France were set at rest
by White House officials, who said
emphatically that he was expected to
remain at the head Of the treasury
department.
Miss Wilson will be the fourteenth
White House bride and the second of
President Wilson's daughters to mar
~ in the nations executive mansion.
Her sister, Miss Jessie Woodrow VIII
