animal blood. Only the primate$
(apes, etc. show the same vibratory
rate as human blood, and only the
blood of the negro is racially ;denti-
cal with that of the primates;
IF the blood is that of a female
one can approximately determine the
number of children and their sex.
For many years the writer in his
various works attempted to show the
necessity of applying the electronic
theory to biological phenomena. The
ultimate constituents of matter are
electrons, or charges of electricity
and radioactivity is dependent on eth
ereal disturbances by change in mo-
tion of the electrons. All the cosmic
forces are comprehended in a single
word-energy.
The action of energy is qualitative
rather than quantative. A tuning
fork unresponsive to the most violent
explosion will vibrate to an impercep-
tible sound. No force, however tre-
mendous, can modify the molecular
orientation Of the electrons in steel,
yet the action of a magnet will at
once make it magnetic.
AS it's name suggests, the "oscillo-
phore" is an apparatus for carrying
vibrations of radioactive energy. 1t
was originally designed for the diff
ferentiation of radioactive energies
from the blood of different diseases
and is still employed almost exclusive
ly for this purpose.
There are six suspended capsules
on either side of a central capsule
This central capsule is delicately sus-
pended and is conconstructed on the
principle of condenser, and if spe-
cimen of blood is placed on a condens'
ing electrode, its radioactive energy i;
condensed in the capsule.
A gentle swing is communicated to
the latter and maintained by the ac-
ton Of metronome. Now, if the
blood of like vibratory rate is plac-
ed at another condensing electrode
the movement of the central capsule
is arrested-as a rule, within 20 Sec
onds--for about a second, and its os-
citations are renewed, to be again ar
rested at minute intervals.
1t has been found after thousands
of examinations that only blood of a
like vibratory rate will thus arrest the
movement of the capsule.
The oscillophore is now so con-
structed that the capsule is projected
on a screen and its movements may
be seen simultaneously by number
of observers.-Albert Abrams in the
July Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Blood Vibrations Determine Parents.

Recently Paul Vittori, of San Fran
cisco, denied the parentage of his
daughter. 4 few drops of blood TAX
en- from Vittori and the child Demon
strated that Vittori was the father.
These blood findings were accepted
as conclusive by Superior Judge
Thomas F. Graham. Heretofore, the
accepted medicolegal tests for blood
identification were limited to a diff
lferentiation of human and animal
blood. This is done miscroscopically
by determining the dimensions of the
red corpuscles. Unfortunately this
method is practically valueless, owing
to the shrinkage of the corpuscleS in
drying and swelling when the test
fluids are used. 1t is possible, howev-
er to recognize the oval and nucleated
red corpucles of avain and reptilian
blood.
With few drops of blood, the
"electronic tests Of Abrams" permit
one to determine, among other data,
the following.
1-Approximate age;
Sex;
3-Race:
4-Parental inheritance of disease;
5-Vibratory rate (this always cor
responds with that of the father);

One item, among the activities OF

tance, the corn-cob. Said the secre-
tary:
"Corn cobs, which from the begin
ming of agriculture in America until
now, have been a waste product, are
about to become an important raw
material in manufacture. Capital al
various places is becoming interested
in the establishment If cob utilization
plants.
"This is all due to a set of discov-
cries made in the Bureau Of Chemls'
try by which it was found that the
entire content of the corn cob can be
made into highly useful articles. From
it, our chemists produced very e':'
cellent adhesive. After the high
grade adhesive is removed, a consid'
cradle quantity of lower grade prod
uct can be made and the residue s
practically pure cellulose, from which
it is possible to manufacture great
number of commodities, including q
very good quality of paper. Some
valuable lime products also are recov-
cred.
"After all these processes had been
worked out, it was discovered that a
considerable quantity of very costly

This is now saved as by-product
and an even larger quantity of it can
be produced by redistillation of the
adhesive. Before this discovery was
made furfural used to sell as high as
$50 a pound. Furfural is a basic In
termediary in dye manufacture and
in addition, is so effective as an in"
secticide that it was used for that
purpose even when it was sold at S2C
a pound"
We all love to abuse the govern
ment, but it is as well to remember
that, after all, it is helping US along
a bit in a very practical way.

Farmers Near Granville
Promote DRAINAGE Project

GRANVILLE. Ga. March 22.-
What is proving to be one of the
largest industrial undertakings and
one of the most beneficent farming
enterprises this section has ever
seen is the fifteen-mile drainage ditch
on New river and MERCER creek, the
final survey for which is just being
completed, according to a statement
last night by Colonel W. A. Nall, at
torney, of Elberton, and D. Conger,
chief engineer, Of Athens.
Retaining approximately 1900
acres of overfown river land and Civ
ing 1t q value Of from 5000 to $500
per acre, twenty-five land owners
will realize a lump sum of approx
imately $4,000 from this ditch. 1t
will be fifteen miles long: from TWEEN
ty-two to twenty-eight feet wide at
top and eight feet deep, and having
a fall Of IA feet from head to the
lower end.
The ditch will begin at the head
Of New river and come down the
river ten miles; it will also include
the whole of MERCER creek from head
to where it joins the river. The end
will be near the line of Coweta and
Heard counties. The work will be
done under the state drainage laws.
Bonds will be sold soon and, and the
excavation work begun.

ing had caught fire from an eX-
pIoded kerosene can.
Mrs, Dennis was in the front yard
Of her home at the time Of the &C

over a charcoal bucket, and poured
oil upon the Goals in order to in
crease the heat. The can exploded
in her hand and the flaming oil
ignlted her clothing.
She screamed and ran through
the hall, passing little Mary Tram

The little girl tried to beat out the
flames, but burned herself and then
ran to the kitchen to draw water to
put out the blaze. Meanwhile Mrs.
Dennis ran into the house, threw
the fire with a blanket
The injured woman was placed in
an automobile and taken to Grady

Japanese Ambassador
Denies His Country Is
Mobilizing for War

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Vigor-
Gus denial that Japan is "mobiliz

flying her mandate islands, was made
ma statement today by Baron Shi-
dehara, Japanese ambassador here.
= Fertilization of the former Ger
man islands in the Pacific or any
other former enemy territory held
under allied mandate, is prohibited
by the peace treaty. The former Ger
man islands in the Pacific north Of
the equator are held under Japanese
mandate
Insistent reports that Japan is
fortifying these islands were brand
ed as "pernicious" by Ambassador
Shidehara. His statement follows:
'In reply to an inquiry, the Jap
anese ambassador denies most cate
gorically all reports that Japan has
been fortifying or intends in any
way to fortify any of the Pacific
islands to the north of the equator.
Such reports are pernicious and alb

FIVE QUESTIONS OF
IMPORTANCE FACE
HARDING s CAD|NE 7

WASHINGTON. March 22.-Five
questions, demanding solution within
the next few weeks, faced President
Harding and has cabinet at their fifth
meeting today. They include:
1. Demands of railway security
holders for active government assis-
lance.
2. The administration policy to-
ward trade with Russia.
8. The nature Of farmer relief to
be recommended to congress.
4. Reorganization of the shipping
board and revision Of the Jones mer
chant marine act requested by ship
ping men. ~
should take on questions likely to
arise out of the visit of ex-Premier
Viviani, of France, now en- route
Now Has More Time
Mr.. Harding has reached the point
where he can give time to these
questions, having unloaded a great
snare of his emergency troubles on
to members of his cabinet or leaders
in congress.
The legislative program has been
practically agreed upon and while
President Harding must give some
thought to specific measures which
Will require dI luS
Forthcoming session, he has, to a
large extent, left the details of the
emergency tariff, the anti-dumping
the American valuation and the reve-
nue. measures to legislative leaders.
Mr.. Harding probably is devoting
more time to the shipping question
than to any other, difficulties for the
present being conferred largely around
the appointment of new board.
May Speak In New York
It was intimated at the White
House today that Mr.. Harding prob
ably will 90 to New York April 10 to
speak at the unwilling of the monu-
ment of Simon Bolivar, the South
American liberator. This would be
his first Out-of-town speaking en-
gagement and was tentatively decid-
ed upon at st. Augustine last month
when John Barrett, former director
of the pan-American union urged him
to accept this opportunity to deliver
a message to South American Re-
publicans The address probabl
will outline his conception Of how the
Monroe doctrine should be applied
to existing conditions in the western
hemisphere.
Joseph H. McDermott. of West
Virginia., was being strongly urged
upon the president today for appoint
ment as commissioner of internal
revenue. Edward Clifford, Illinois,

Clemenceau Is Feeling
Fit on Return From
Long Stay in India

TOULON, March 22.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.) -Georges Clemen-
ceau, Frances war premier, radiant
with health and in the brightest
spirits, returned here Monday from
India, whittier he went six months
ago. He walked down the gangplank
Of the steamer Ormonde, with step
like that Of a young man, despite
the fact that he is nearing his
eightieth birthday anniversary.
Exchanging greetings with the pre-
feet, Admiral Sagot, Andre Tardleu
and members of his FAMILY, NJ. Glenn
enceau said: Il am happy. All [
have to say is embodied in this sin
gle sentence-France lives; every
where 1 have experienced it, wher-
ever I went
He showed touch Of emotion when
he spoke, but was soon the irrepres-
Sible old statesman, for almost i'm
mediately he resumed his customary
bantering tone, and in replying to
question as to whether he hunted
tigers while away, remarked: Il
didn't know there were any left in
India" ~.
The former premier enjoyed fine
weather throughout the voyage, eX-
cept the last night between Corsica
and the mainland, when a heavy gale
was encountered which the ship

An ill-advised correspondent made
mention Of the upper Silesian plebis-
cite, and M. Clemenceau gave him
a whitening look. Don't talk to me
about politics, or 1 shall go right
back to India" he snapped.
There is a strong movement among
many newspapers urging NJ. Clemen-
ceau to go to the United States be-

mier declared he was first going to

eightieth birthday and then probably
would proceed to America.

Mrs. Clara Hamon Signs
Moving Picture Contract

ARDMORE, Okla, March 22.-
Clara Smith Hamon late today signed
a contract with the Oklahoma Motion
Picture company, with headquarters
at Oklahoma City and studio at Los

I'm going to leave some parts
out" she said, but leave enough
in to be warning to all young girls.
I don't want people to think I'm
doing 1t for the money alone either.
A reception was held for Clara
Hamon last night at the first Chris
tan church here, where she was
baptized Sunday.
The Oklahoma Motion Picture COM
pany was incorporated at 100000
about a year ago. B. E. Turner, its
promoter, completed arrangements
with Clara Hamon Monday, she said.
Arrangements for so per cent royal
ty on her productions and a cash ad-
vance, were made IN the contract,

LIFE NOT 81 BAD
IN RUSSIA, DECLARES
RETURNED TRAVELLER

man. 453 Capitol avenue, reached
home Sunday after an absence since
July II of last year, when he went to
Russia, into the Ukraine, to visit his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon
Lipshitz, and remained for business
venture in Riga, Baltic port in the
province OF Latwia. There Mr..
Ltpshitz purchased $50 tons of wool
en- remnants and rags, disinfested at
a plant he established in Riga, and
now being shipped to this country.
Mr.. Lipshitz gives an interesting
first-hand account OF the state of
affairs in Latwia, which, he says.
probably IS better off than almost
any other part Of Russia today.
Life is bare and scanty exis-
tence for the poorer classes" he said,
yet you do not see anybody actual
~ starving to death. Many persons
subsist on black bread and water-I
tried some of the bread, and it was
SO tough it nearly broke my teeth.
Wages for laborer range from
rs to 100 roubles day, q rouble be-
ing worth at present about half a
cent in American money. A pound of
butter costs more than a days pay.
A pair Of shoes would cost the work
men approximately half a months
yet there is q good deal of bust
ness and production going on, in
Latwia. It is fine timber province,
and has amber works in operation.
Much fax also is produced, and one
Of the greatest needs Of the pro-
vince Is textile mills to use this
product. I brought home a good deal
of the embroidery, done there by
hand-perfectly exquisite work, al
most beyond the imagination as
hand-work."
Mr. Lipshitz said that Russia ap-
peared to him to be getting along
fairly well under the present gov
ment.
'It is possible to travel about in
reasonable convenience, If you have
the price" he said. For example,
there are through trains running
from Berlin to Riga, on the Baltic
Sea, with sleeping cars three or four
times week. The provincial. gov
eminent in Latwia appears stable,
and the people, are quiet and well
behaved and there Is little trouble
outside the hard times-the depress-
ed currency and all"
Mr.. Lipshitz brought back, with the,
embroidery and many quaint and in
teresting curios, g remarkable coat,
said to be more than hundred years
Eold. made in the ancient fashion of
the Ukraine, with heavy metal trim
mingS and richly colored embroidery
on g. white garment. r.tl
Il intend to make q present Of this
coat to some Atlanta museum" he

to be had in this generation, and I
think it would appeal to any cura-
tor as a unique and beautiful sam
pie Of the apparel of a bygone age"

Japanese Bishop
Thinks u. S. viii
Adopt Agreement

NEW YORK. March 22.-Bishop
Yoshiyasu Hira-Iwa. Of the Japan
Methodist church. now in this city,
declared TODAY that while he was in
Washington, Count Sidehara, Japa-
niece ambassador. had expressed to
him the belief that the Harding adj
ministration would adopt the Norris
Shidehara agreement in final settle
ment of the Japanese situation in CAL
ifornia.
1.-THE Japanese public is anxiously
awaiting news to this effect" said
the churchman. THE Morris Shide-
hara agreement will be satisfactory
to the Japanese people. but it leaves
unsolved the problem Of racial ex-
pansion which is pressing.
THE Japanese still look toward the
western hemisphere as the only logi-
cal ground for immigration, but con-
trary to belief in this country, they
are willing to amalgamate with the
people among whom they settle
=, "Japan does not want Hawaii or
the philippines. The present friction
has been greatly augmented, how
ever, by the suddenly increased gar
rIsons and the extensive fortifca-
lions being erected there.
FRANKLY, the Japanese people are
extremely nervous over the posi-
bIllties of aggression from a nation
Of such power and wealth as the
United States. They do not contem-
plate beginning any trouble of their
own accord
There is a strong movement In
Japan for reduction Of armament be-
cause the present military and naval
expenses consume more than one

pie are burdened with heavy taxes

Protest Spain Conservatism

ment are comforting with a view to
forming a new anti-government
group. Friends IF Santiago Alba, for
mer minister of finance; Melquiades
Alvarez, leader of the reformist

cal leader in the chamber Of depu-
ties, have agreed to start an ener-
getic campaign in opposition to
block all Legislative work if the
