largely responsible for the move-and
there s nothing the chief likes so well

It's all coming about because Chief

swap secrets on the best way to put
salt on the bandits tail, and to per-
suade burglars and yeggs not to leave
lhome--somebody else s home--without
leaving fingerprints.
The chiefs will discuss mugging and
printing, and eriminologv.
They will probably hear an address
on the now famous ''truth serum by
which Texas and Oklahoma officers
claim to be able to put a suspect under
twilight sleep and have him tell the
trath about his connection or lack of
connection with crime
Chief Nollmer, Phd. Berkeley s
scientific chief. will give some pointers
on how to take a lot of young college
huskies who have made Phi Beta kap
na, and finally educate them until they
have intelligence enough to be police
men.
Chief Vollmer viii also probably put
into operation his rival of the truth
serum the famous Berkeley lie
detector, which registers blood rushes,
and heart beats absolutely accurately
upon a chart. When the chart is
matched up with the questions asked
Vollmer says it easy to see by the
wigglv lines and the increased heart
pulsationsF whether the truth is being
told.
The problem of dealing with the new

have become numerous the last few

BRAVEST COP FOUND,
PINCHES OWN WIFE
United Press Leased Wire

OAKLAND, March 30.--Page the
Carnegie foundation The bravest po-
liceman has undoubtedly been found.
He. is Traffic Officer w. H. Gar
ratt. He pinched his own wife for
cutting the corner on which he was
stationed.
Not only that, but he didn t tear up
her card. He turned her in, and she
had to appear in police court.
She pleaded guilty, although she un-
doubtedly could have gone free through
legal technicality. 1t is against the
law for husband to testify against
a wife, or vice verse.
Mrs Garrett admitted having "cut
the corner, because she didn't think
"the policeman was; there. He was
standing on the curb instead of in the
center of the street, however.
Judge E. J. Tyrell proved a man of
discretion. He suspended judgment.
He was afraid bitter family dispute
might be the outcome of fine, the
question being, was the husband to
blame for the loss of the money through
arresting the wife, or was the wife to
blame for cutting the corner! Any
married man can readily see that the
argument could never be settled.
