To Run Open shop.
Reports; filtering through from
Pittsburgh indicate that many OF
the coal mines in Western Penn
sylvania will attempt to work on
the open-shop basis if the strike
is not settled by the middle of July.
1t is said that the Pittsburgh Coal
Co. will be one of the five spirits
in the effort to work non-union. The
fact that non-union fields are pro-
ducing 10000 cars of coal day IS
disturbing the union plants.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10
Juries in criminal cases eventual

chines!
This prediction is made on the
basis of the case of Henry kilk-
ems, saved from the suspicion of
having murdered his wife, by his
own heartbeats registered on the
sphygmomanometer or lie detec-
tor.
There is no question that this
machine can judge whether
man, accused of crime, is telling
the truth or is lying, more surely
than can jury says Professor
John Larsen and Louis Browning,
Of Berkeley's scientific police
squad.
After having trapped hundreds
of liars, they were called into the
Wilkens case and their finding
that Wilkens was telling the truth
about his wife's death was ac-
cepted by the San Francisco police
as being as final as if it were a

Wilkens reported auto bandits

killed her. But it developed she
had sued him recently for separ-
ate maintenance
Then two suspects were arrest
ed; Wilkens failed to identity
either Of them, and they were re-
leased. Later detectives learned
enc of these men formerly had
workd for Wilkens. He protest
ed he was SO distracted over his
wife's death that he had failed to
recognize the man.
SO the lie detector was brought
in.
Scientists and police watched
while Wilkens was subjected to
third degree. The devices re-
cording his internal reactions
showed no variation as he stuck
to his story
'.The machine says he's telling
the truth" Professor Larson final
ly announced. And the police re-
leased Wi1kens from suspicion.

A Nationwide Application of the Principle of
Juvenile Court Work
By JUDGE EDWARD scHoEN, Newark, N. J.

1 feel that the problems behind the minor offender who comes to the
juvenile court are so farreaching in importanee-that is, the proper re-
constructive work that is required to be done to readjust the child, readjust
his living conditions, is work of such magnitude-that the federal gov
eminent, with its vast resources and prestige, would perhaps be the most
effective agency or instrumentalty with which to do that work.
Further, it would probably lead more quickly to a standardization of
all the work. l am very much interested and concerned about the stand
ardizaton of reconsructve work that should be done, and the way in
which it should be done, and to get the necessary financial aid to do it,
and do it right.
Then, again, there would be a nationwide application Of this whole
principle of juvenile court work and procedure, which we have not yet got,
although the juvenile court is some twenty years old. A great part of our
country is without the application of juvenile court principles in its treat
ment of children.

The Morals of the Rising Generation as Loose
as It's Galoshes?
By MRS. GEORGE MAYNARD MINOR, President General D. A. R.

The American home is going into the discard and
it requires an act of faith to believe that it will survive
the automobile and the movies, the thirst for the pleas
ure and diversion of the moment. The creation of
real American homes is womans sphere, but 1t need
not be confined to the four walls Of the house. It
should reach out to better schools, purer movies, cleaner
drama, modest dress, better discipline for the child at
home and in school. An undisciplined child is good
material for future upheavals and revolutions.
It is said that the morals of the rising generation
