Representatives Hensley and Gala
way, aided by experts, had prepared
general scheme of opposition calcu
lated to demonstrate the faults of the
administration program.
Sherwood Opens Fight.
In vigorous speech Representative
Sherwood of Ohio, one of the oldest
members Of the house, bitterly criti
cized the preparedness program of
the administration. He declared that
the demand for preparedness was
''hysteria" and was fostered by the
manufacturers of war supplies.
Instead OF increasing the army, we
should cut it in two" he said, and
spend the money thus saved in peace
full developments -
Rear Admiral H. R. Stanford, chief
of the bureau of yards and docks of
the navy department, was the first
witness. He explained the needs of
the various navy yards. The commit
tee plans to hear all other witnesses

is called upon to explain his naval
construction program.
Consider Armor Plate Bill.
The preparedness fight in the sen
ate began in the naval affairs com
mittee, called together by Senator
Tillman to report his bill appropriate
ing 81 100000 for the construction
of a government armor plate plant.
The measure will be used by the anti
preparedness senators as a basis for
a general effort to establish gov

the profit out of war" The anti
preparedness group proposes gen
eral onslaught on private munitions
makers and on the preparedness propa-
gandists.

BONEHEAD'S EVOLUTION
TRACED BY AN EXPERT
Prof. G. W. Savory Suggests Photo
graphing Brainstorms.

Some people have vacant places here
and there in their craniums: nature alb
hores a vacuum, and, not being able to
draw the skull in to fit the brain, she
builds on the skull from the inside until
the open space Is filed. This makes the
skull very thick and heavy, a surplus
amount Of bone and we then have a
'bonehead.'
Thus spoke Prof. G. w. Savory, brain
builder. efficiency expert, phrenologist,
vocational director and teacher Of ora
tory. salesmanship, hygiene and matri-
monial harmony, at a meeting Of the
Shorthand Writer'S Club In the Oxford
Building last night.
when a man has a brainstorm, the
movie camera will be placed on one side
Of his head and an improved kind of x
ray machine-to be invented in the fu-
ture-on the other" said the professor.
THE rays will be turned on and the
camera will begin clicking of the various
activities Of the brain cells"
The picture could be projected on
screen. said Prof. Savory. He suggested
an arrangement of this kind would be
used to study the brains Of a person in
love.
