see the street car company withdraw its cars
and go out of business.
The street car company has made its position
plain If its revenue is curtailed it will put its
cars in the barns and discontinue service. Sup
pose the financial condition of the bus company
in six months is so bad that it has to discontinue
service the public will find itself without trans
portation facilities over its streets.
The street car company is charging fare
which is cheap compared with the fares charged
in other cities. For years it has been taxpayer
in this community, and its payroll has added
thousands of dollars annually to the buying pow
err of the community. It has thousands of dol
lars invested in its tracks, equipment and ma
chinery. All this is jeopardized by the advent
of company which wants to operate on the
Richmond streets.
Many business men believe that the obtaining
of franchise by the bus line company is to be
used as means Of selling stock in the company.
If this is the case it indicates pretty plainly that
the company does not have the financial backing
which would recommend it favorably to the city.
No one seems to know if there is sufficient cap
ital back of the proposed venture to assure its
permanence.
The city council will be acting for the public
good if it investigates some of the questions seri-
ously before. it votes to the company the use of
the streets.

The Bus Line Franchise

There is no reason why the city council should
act hastily on the granting of a franchise to the
bus line company, which asks for use of the
streets to compete with the street car company
in the handling of passengers.
If the street car company were unable to
maintain schedules or were giving poor service
at exorbitant cost to passengers, the city coun
Gil might act with dispatch, but as conditions are
now that body will do well to hesitate before it
passes the ordinance
The financial status of the bus line company
should be thoroughly investigated before any ac-
ton is taken that will jeopardize the service
which the street car company is giving now. If
the new company does not have back of it suffi-
cient capital to maintain service continuously it
would be folly to grant it franchise, and then

Ripping Rhymes

CLOSE TO NATURE

I landed on a South Sea isle on
which 1 planned to live; for l was
sick of worldly guile, and all that
cities give Oh, l was tired OF routine
ruts, of labor's smarts and stings, and
l would live on cocoanuts and drink
from gushing springs. For had read
a thousand books concerning South
Sea isles, of dusky bellies in sylvan
hooks, who cheers men with their
smiles. I longed to dwell by bahbling
rills where summer moonbeams lurk,
where people do not pay their bills,
and no one needs to work. And for
a week l languished there, from clang-
ing marts afar, without a table or a
chair, book or cigar. Then l ad-
dressed the dusky belle who had be-
come my bride: This sort Of life may
suit you Well-to me it's suicide So
l will say farewell, my lass, and sail
across the seas, and leave you squat
ting in. the grass, among the bugs and
f1eas. Some other gent will come,
no doubt, and take you for his wife,
some broken and world weary scout
who'd lead a quiet life. But l to some
more rugged scene must haste to
leave my tracks, where l can smell
the gasoline, and pay my income tax.
l know these woods have lovely tints,
the scenery's sublime, but 1 must
read the public prints, and note the
wave of crime. So fare thee well, oh,
greasy Grace, don't murmur or repine !;
for if | ne'er shall see your face,
you're spared the sight of mine"

are, innumerable and difficult to &C
count for, but the psychologist now
has back of him carefully tested prin-
ciples that enable him to analyZe his
subjects with reasonable exactness.
One hundred per cent accuracy is
hardly to be expected. Medicine has
been practiced thousands of years, the
psychologist points out, but it is not
an absolutely accurate science. Doc
tors today fatty contradict accepted
theories of 10 years ago. What is
more, they disagree with one another
Yet the testimony of physician or an
alienist is given careful consideration
by the courts.
The use of expert advice of various
sorts in legal cases has been growing
steadily. When civilization moved at
a slower pace and courts had less
crowded dockets, trial might drag
along with less serious consequences.
Evidence might be gone over time and
again until some slip was noted or I'M
til it was clear that the jury would
simply have to guess at the truth.
But the trial and error method of
presenting testimony has more and
more given place to research methods.
The scientific detective of the fiction
magazines is a reality. Few lawyers
and detectives are the versatile author
tiles on all manner of subjects that the
story book hero always is, but they
do know when and where to get ex-
pert opinion, and the results are often
astounding.
Value of Microscope
In Criminal Work,
Hans Gross, the we'll known Grim
inologist, has pointed out how the mi
croscope in the hands of an expert
can reveal important facts not OBJ
| tainable by other means. A monde
script bit of hair takes on personality
under microscope lens. 1t is posi-
| BILE, Professor Gross says, to tell upon
what part Of the body the hair has
/ grown, and whether it is the hair Of a
man or woman. The condition of the
| hair may also be studied. The fact
that it showed signs of dye or of po-
made, for instance, might prove to be
a significant clue.
| If the roots of the hair are availa-
/ BILE, the age of the person can also
| be determined to a certain extent
! Dipped in solution of caustic potash
the roots will dissolve, and the youn-
ger the person the more rapidly the
process takes place. Such tests are
often used in criminal investigation.
Dust is another interesting kind OF
evidence which becomes significant
only in the hands of scientist Dust
is important in criminal cases ne
cause it is made up of organic matter
from our surroundings.

scene of a certain crime. 1t was

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-The
psychologist, with his uncanny know
ledge of human completes, may soon
be expected to play an important part
in our courts of justice.
In almost every trial there are baff-
ling points in the testimony. Was the
witness telling the truth when he said
that he saw the prisoner at Z O'Clock
On the evening of the crime, wearing
a brown suit and a green necktie?
Could another witness be believed
when he insisted that the shot was
fired by the man directly in front of
him and not by any person back OF
him?
Some problems like these are left
for almost every jury to face after the
possibilities of legal strategy have
been exhausted. Yet the jury is ex-
pected to weigh all this evidence and
arrive at a conclusion.
With a legal psychologist in court,
justice can be melted out with more
exactness, so the psychologists them
selves tell us. The witness who was
so emphatic about the clothes worn by
the man he met might have his story
shot to atoms by a psychological ex-
PLANTATION that colors cannot be dis
tinguished at twilight. 1t is fact that
the brain has no mechanism for dis
tinguishing colors at dusk. One and
all, they are seen as shades of gray.
AS for the shot fired in front of the
witness, psychologists have proved
that shot fired directly behind per-
son cannot be distinguished from one
fired directly in front. In such Cir
cumstances an individual is not cap
able of saying from which direction
the sound came.
These examples indicate the sort of
assistance that the psychologist who
specializes in legal and criminal
branches of his subject might be called
upon to give to the courts. At pres
ent such experts are aware of the
service they can render, but the legal
profession is wary of what might be
regarded as new-fangled theories.
Bench and Bar
SkepticaI
Bench and bar are inclined to look
upon psychology as a science still in
| the experimental stage. Although a
psychologist may have a doctors de-
gree from a first class university and
string of discoveries to his credit, he
! is likely to be told that his methods
/ and tests are not yet 100 percent re-
liable, and that therefore his evidence
cannot be accepted as expert testi-
mony. go -

the addition of the glue pointed to a
joiner. The clue was followed and
the guilty person, a joiner, apprehend-
ed.
Gunsmiths, anatomists, chemists,
and authorities on plant and animal
life are called in to point out facts
that the layman, however clever, does
not know how to see. But so far the
human mind has rarely been subjected
to scientific scrutiny in court except in
cases when insanity is suspected. Wit
nesses tinge their evidence with hate
or determined loyalty and no jury can
be sure as to what allowance should
be made for these. variations.
In Germany the legal psychologist
is established as a consulting agent,
known as "the friend of the court. -
In Chicago courts, some experiments
have been made along a similar line.
Aside from these ventures the legal
psychologist has not yet gained recog-
milton as an expert witness. Interest
ed 1p the subject is growing, however.

Q. Why does the state of New
York recognize a divorce obtained,
say, in Reno, when the grounds of
divorce are so different from the
grounds in New York;. T.
A. The constitution of the United
States imposes certain obligations up
on the states in their dealings with
each other, Section I, Article ", pro-
viding that Full faith an dcredit shall
be given in each state to the public
acts, records, and judicial proceedings
in every other state This clause has
been held to mean that in civil cases,
when the courts of one state have
given a judgment, such judgment will
be recognized and enforced by the
courts of every other state without q
new trial. 1t also means that con-
tracts legally entered into in one state
are binding and enforceable in an
other. In the matter of divorce, by
this clause, a state is required to rec
ognize divorce granted in any other
state, even though it may have been
granted for reasons for which the
laws of the first state would not al
low divorce. The only restriction
which courts have upheld in their in
depreciation OF this clause of the con-
stitution is that the state granting the
divorce shall have Jurisdiction over
the parties-that is, that the party
should have a bona-fide residence
within the state and that proper NO
tice of suit should be given. Thus
New York must recognize Nevada di-
yorces if it be shown that the plaintiff
had legal residence in Nevada and
the defendant had been legally mott
fled of the suit

laying soft-shelled eggs?-J. E. F.
A. When the eggshells are soft,
the hens food lacks lime. Some
crushed oyster shells should be mixed
with their food.
@. What is the temperature of a
perfect vacuum, and how are light
rays conducted in a vacuum?-W. A.
N
A. The ordinary concept of the
temperature is not applicable to vac
uum, and an extension Of the detlnl-
ton of temperature is required. Elec-
