FUR COAT MAKES "DIPL0MAT"
"Rubberneck" Guide Heaps Unexpeet- ed Honor on Newspaper
 Correspondent.

Washington--Hudson Hawley, for. merly in the American eXpeditionary force and now a Washington core spondent, has an overcoat made of an Arizona wildcat skin. It has a mara hou collar.
 Small of stature and wearing a pointed, upturned mustache, Hawley has created a sensation in Washington with his striking civilian attire, but he just won recognition from a most un- expected source. Having been made Paris correspondent of a press associ- ation, he went to the French embassy to have his passport vised.
 Hawley emerged from the main en- trance of the embassy and drew the collar Of his fur coat up around his cheeks just in time to hear the official barker on one of Washingtons rubber nesk wagons announce in stentorian tones in the load of tourists:

FIND LATEi!T TALENT
Psychology Used in Tests at
 University of Wisconsin.
Experts Hunt Among Freshmen foF Material for Likely Journalists
 and Machinists.

Madison, Wis.-Psychologica tests of ability for machine shop work evil denced by freshmen in the college of engineering are being undertaken by the department of psychology at the University of Wisconsin.
 The results of the tests are being computed by students in vocational psychology as part of their work in preparing to become employment managers.
 Another set of tests designed to gauge journalistic ability is to be giv- en to freshmen in the course of jour nalism in conjunction with schools of journalism in other universities. These tests will be given for several success sive years to determine whether it is possible to discover latent newspaper talent through psychology tests.
 The system of giving psychological tests instead of regular. entrance ex- aminations to students who wish to enter university, has been tried in several universities. The idea is that a student who has a good mind, but has insufficient or inferior high school training, may be advised as to the lines of study for which he is best fitted. ssz..zs-,s.-
 In this regard, the University of Wisconsin is giving more specific tests than most other universities. By giv- ing a dozen or more tests for the samt results, the psychologists at the uni |ersity are determining which tests are best. In a small series Of tests already conducted, however, the re suits do not correspond we'll with the scholastic records of the students tested.

OPERATES Ou BRAIN
Invalid Surgeon Removes Bullet
 From Head of Convict.
D. opped Up in Invalid Chair pr. Chap man Performs Successfully Rare
 Operation in Surgery.

Ossining, N. Y.-The rare opera ton of removing a bullet from a mans brain was successfully accomplished in Sing Sing prison hospital. A re- markable feature was that Dr. Will liam L. Chapman of Brooklyn, who performed the work, was propped in an invalid chair.
 The operation was an attempt to cure insanity in prisoner.
 The presence of two bullets in the brain was disclosed by X-ray, the enc removed being imbedded almost two inches, while the other was lodged behind the right ear. When the first bullet had been extracted the other was found to be lodged solidly In the tissue. After a consultation It was decided not to touch 1t. The incisiOn then was closed, and the patient re- gained consciousness
 The full operation lasted one hour. A piece of skull the size of. silver dollar first was removed, and into the aperture Dr. Chapman inserted his in- dex finger gently, being careful net to rupture the brain tissue or draw blood. Deeper and deeper, with pain- ful slowness, the surgeon probed until his finger came in contact with the bullet. Then the surgeon slowly worked his finger around and under the object, gradually forcing 1t through the tissue until 1t touched the side of the skull, and then half lifted, half pushed it, along tho wall until it reached the opening, where 1t was taken out with forceps.

'CULD' ALCHEMY
 HOAX OF BACON
For 500 Years His Writings Have Been Studied in Hope of
 Finding Secret.
ONLY EONSENSICAL JARGON
Science Might Have Been Much Farther Advanced Today If Roger Ba- con Had Not Hidden His
 Knowledge in Cipher.

Philadelphia, Pa-Alchemists who for 600 years sought to find in Roger Baeons cipher writings the secret of turning base metals into gold were the victims of hoax, declared William Romaine Newbold, professor of intel- leetual and moral philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, before the general meeting of the American Philosophical society here.
 Bacon, he eontended, hid under a nonsensieal jargon of alchemists' terms a marvellous storehouse of scien- tific knowledge.
 Doctor Newbold told of his two years labor to decipher the code Ba. con used.
 As a result of the revelations made by the S00,000 word manuscript, scien- lists have declared Bacon had remark able knowledge of mathematical sys- tens conceived today, and had not the discoveries made by him remained un- known to others until rediscovered hundreds of years after his death, science would have been just so much in advance of its present state.
 Explanation of the Cipher.
 Bacon conceived the idea of ex- pressing every letter of word which he wanted to write In cipher by a syl- lable and building the syllable into new word" he said. For example, if the letter 'C' is represented by 'GR,' A by 'AD,' and 'E' by ED the word Graded would spell Cat
 ''The principle cannot be used in this way because, first, every word will be represented in cipher by twice as many letters, and second, no words can be used in cipher except those of an even number of letters. To meet these diff culties Bacon lays down the rule that successive syllables must end and be- gin with the same letters, doubled let ters being dropped Thus Cat may be spelled in the Bacon cipher as fol- lows: 4Go-ol-ld'; dropping the double letters, one gets the word Gold
 No Wonder Secret Was Kept,
 "ln reading the cipher you double every letter except the first and last and thus discover the syllables which spell the word But it is seldom pos sible to find syllables which fulfil these conditions and yet spell a new word when arranged in the order O letters of the original word like 'cat, for example. Cat' may also be spelled 'ar-rkda,' and the syllables may be rearranged into the word dark but when dark is translated the word eat will reappear as tea the order of the letters being disarranged. These are the principles Bacon used.
 There are 494 possible combinations of the letters of two 22-letter alpha bets, taken two by two. Bacon makes every one of the ASA represent a letter Of his alphabet and with them spells his words in Latin In the way indi- cated above He disarranges the un- deriving text as little as possible and 1t usually is still recognizable, but frequently 1t is disarranged so much that scholars probably never will agree as to how 1t should be recon structed."
