Marine Makes
Awful FauxPas
Drops Gun at Drill for
General Lejeune and
Mr.. Coolidge.

There Is one marine stationed at
the marine barracks in washing
ton who will do n. p, and fatigue
duty for some time to come. The
aforesaid marine is the original
"feller without a. friend" today,
just because he dropped his rifle
when coming from a present arms"
to an order arms"
The occasion when this terrible
army faux pas was committed was
the marine drill and dress parade
given Tuesday in connection with
the reception OF the National Press
Club Post of the American Legion
for Vice President Coolidge at
Marine Barracks.
The hundreds OF guests had gath
cred on the drill grounds and Ma
jor General Lejeune, commander Of
the marine corps, took II upon him
self to give the commands. The
marines were lined up in company
front and were going through the
manual OF arms in response to the
generals command.
Everything was going along nice
until the general cried: order
arms." Then the buck private in
the front rank, evidently excited
because of the crowd, let hts rifle
fall to the ground. To make mat
ters worse he exploded to such an
extent that he yelled. ooh" and
picked up his rifle.
General Lejeune waited until or
der had been restored and then
finished the drill.
The marine Is III today.

.ew Ether Forces Out
Truth, Says Physician

MONTREAL. May Ian improved
variety of ether, which has the start
ling effect of making any man or
woman tell the truth, however dam
aging the truth may be, has been dis
covered. according to DR.. James Cot
ton, of Toronto.
DR.. Cotton himself. discussing the
discovery, declared. however, that he
never would supply the new ether to
criminal authorities, or to a court.
because there are secrets which are
sacred to q man and never should be
disclosed. 1T would do. more harm
than good he explained.
REASON OBLJTERATED.
The anaesthetic effects of the ether
are said to be so pronounced that one
patient ate his breakfast while under
q serious abdominal operation.
"It is a scientific fact" said DR..
Cotton, that memory is simply =
function and can be obliterated. The
new ether causes a person to tell
the truth by paralyxing his memory
and Judgment"
He no longer knows enough not to
tell the truth" he humorously added.
From a psychological standpoint
said DR.. Cotton, Gin the analgestic
stage-that is the loss OF sensa ton
taking place prior to the stage OF
sleep-present memory for the part
is obliterated, past memory, thought
and judgment remaining. BY using a
special preparation of the basic ether
Judgment also can be obliterated to
such an extent that the patient no
longer knows enough not to tell the
truth. This 10 . phenomenon quite
aside from the normal ethylene ether
