 The innocent are glad of an o2- portunity of clearing themselves. The guilty fear refusal It's use runs the gamut of criminal investi- gaticn ascending the scale from the juvenile offender to the man charg- ed with murder, Only recently it was the means of reuniting an estranged father and son, clearing the latters name of forgery.
 Dr. Larsen believes the day will come when the cardio-pneumo psy- chograms, as the cabilistic strips of tracings are known, will take their place as evidence in courts of jus tice. To his mind the important thing is that they form permanent record open to the interpretation of all who study such matters. The record is there to be read by all who will.
 Scientific criminologists the world over are interested in the device. Recently noted chiminologist from visited the laboratory Of Dr. Larsen to see the machine and indicated that upon his return home he will put into use a similar de- vice. He arranged with Dr. Larsen for the exchange of records So that the standardization of psychograms might be hastened. Outside police have called upon pr. Larsen to make tests in important murder cases. 1t was demonstrated at recent international convention of police chiefs and was the subject of much interested discussion.

SOi ItSpOuNiGhl- Berkeley, Cal, Aug. 9.-What will the invention of the ''lie detector'' mean to criminal investigation?
 This question was asked Chief of Police August Vollmer, head of the only police department in the world employing the device, and in whose department it was worked out by Dr. J. A. Larse, one of Vollmer's s suDer-cops, who is a university graduate and a scientist.
 "It will eliminate conviction of the innocent and insure the convic- tion of the guilty" said Chief Voll- mer.
 'It will put an end to spurious wills and eliminate the long and costly legal contests which ensue in such cases.
 Ut will assist in putting to an end forgery of documents and material ly aid in settling civil cases in which deception figures
 IF it works out"
 And it is upon this IF that Dr. Larsen is now working.
 Already hundreds of tests have been made. These are being studied, catalogued and classified. Thou sands of additional tests are to be made in the penal and insane insti- tutions of the state. These will in turn be classified and studied. And when hundreds of thousands of rec ords have been made Dr. Larsen believes the test will be so standard ized that it will form an almost in fallible index to the truthfulness of statements made by persons tested by the ''lie detector"
 Has Scientific Name.
 Scientifically the use of the "iie detector" is known as Q deception test.
 The machine evolved by Dr. Lar sen permits the taking of continu- ous blood pressure curve synchron ously with respiratory and tim ing curve The apparatus includes sensitized recording strip nov ing on drum, a sohygmomanom- eter to record the blood pressure and a chonograph to record the time in fifth of seconds or greater intervals, while the. reaction time is further obtained by the use of d signal magnet.

DA'S' are an honest people.
 "In crimes which indicate dis honesty of the people, Such as lar ceny, fraud and other crimes of swindling a comparison of condi- tions demonstrates that the morals of this country are better than in any other of the large countries of the world. The morality of the country is higher, t.Ie lives of it's citizens are cleaner, offenses against women and children are less ire quent and more universally ab- horred'
 The steady and growing disre- spect for the law is not attributa- ble to the war, the associations in vestigating committee finds.
 Proportional Increase Small.
 We do not find the proportional increase in crime from 1916 to 1922 greater than from 1910 to 1916 and we have not been able to discover that crimes of violence have ma terially increased in France, Eng land or Canada during or since the war although the effects of the war naturally must be more marked in those countries
 The committee found that the parole and probation laws are not strong enough. It recommended that first offenders only be eligible for probation and that the indeter- minatc sentence laws he modified so as to apply solely to first offend .ers and that neither parole nor pro- bation should be permitted those convicted of homicide burglary, rape or highway robbery.
 Another outstanding recommends | tion of the committee is that the manufacture and sale of pistols, i with which over 90 per cent of the [ murders in the country are com mitted, and of cartridges or ammu- nition be absolutely prohibited save as such manufacture shall be neces- sary for governmental and official { use under proper regulation and control
 Court Delay Aids Crime.
 Court delays accrue to the benefit of criminals only and should be corrected, the committee reported. In this connection it recommended that the state be given every right now enjoyed by a defendant to ap- peal; to amend the indictment; that there Dc but one appeal from judg- ment of conviction in the trial court and that there be enacted legislation limiting the time during which judges or courts may hold under advisement dilatory motions made in criminal trials.
 Other recommendations made by the committee follow:
 That laws now existing in some states making the jury final judge ol the law and of the facts be re- realed
 That further legislation be enact- cd by Congress to punish and pre- vent lynching and mob violence.
 That more stringent laws limit ing and controlling immigration be enacted.
 That the pending measure in Con gress increasing the nurlber of United States District Judges and power upon the Chief
  Justice and Senior Circuit Judges to have supervision over the work of the courts and see that the dockets are kept clear be enacted.

GET YOUR ENGINE WARMED UF

We hear SO many people worry and
fret because the activities of life
wear and tear their nerves-because
they are exhausted when night falls
upon their days work. They seem to
forget that an automobile always
runs better after it has been running
long enough for the engine to get
warmed up. Many times have we
seen the experienced chauffeur who
had a long drive to make in the win
ter time, sit and let his engine run
long enough to get good and hot be-
fore he would undertake to make
the trip. On a cold morning the en-
CINE of a Ford is always hard to
start-sometimes a person even has
to pour hot water on it to warm it up
but once it is started and becomes
warm, no matter how cold the day,
all you have to do is to turn the crank
over once and the cylinders begin
kicking like a frisky young mule.
AS human engines can't we take
a lesson from the above? After you
have toiled through the day, when
your nerves are shattered, your body
worn-you may rest assured that
your mentality is also on edge, keen
er and more alert than before the ac-
tivities of the day warmed you up.
Some of the greatest orations in the
history of the world were delivered
on the spur of the moment, without
any preparation, by orators whose
body had been so oveworked that
they were barely able to stand long
enough to deliver the great thoughts
emanating from the brain that had
been whetted and set on edge by the
gruelling activities of life.
1t is said that when Abraham Lin
coin made that great Gettysburg
speech from his troubled soul, his
body was so lean and lank that he
was barely able to stand the physical
strain, and that after he had finished
that great masterpiece of eloquence
lawyer who was on the speakers
stand rushed to Mr.. Lincoln and
said: "Mr. President, you have made
the speech here this evening that
shall live throughout the ages of the
world" The lawyer who made this
expression had made great prepara-
ton for his speech that preceded that
of Mr. Lincoln, in the hope that he
might make the greatest speech of
the occasion. The world soon forgot
the lawyer and his prepared speech,
but it will never. forget the great
speech Abraham Lincoln made after
he got his engine warmed up.
