WEATHER IS VERY RIGHTEOUS; DOES
 GOOD IN RUSSIA
Nature Trying To Make Up For What It Did To Coun- try Last Year = Crops Bountiful.

Moscow, Aug. 5-Mother Nature appears to be trying to make up to Russia for what she did to her last year. Accurate estimates of the grain from nearly every province reports pour in to Moscow that not in many years have such growing crops been seen.
 When rains were needed they came this spring in a profusion that made up for last years drouth. When sun shine was necessary it was on hand. Unless some unprecedented weather condition develops between now and the time of the harvest, practically every bushe1 of seed that was planted Ia st autumn and this spring seems sure to bear fruit.
 Rye fields higher than a mans head the ears fairly dropping with kernels, are waving and browning throughout the Volga and central Russia, while the wheat is coming up in good shape in Siberia and Ukraine. Potatoes and other vegetables are flourishing. Cattle which looked like skeletons in the | winter are fattening on rich green pasture land.
 In some localities stricken last year 1 by the drouth an unusual phenome- nom has been noticed. Gram sown in
 the spring of 1921, which failed to
 up this year to swell the small sowings | which were available in the spring of
 1922. In other places, where the
 grain was so short and undeveloped | vest:ng. these dwarf plants dropped | their seed and this, too, has sprouted | under the rains and sunshine. Generally speaking the ground | seems to have gained strength during l the famine year, and rich nitrates | which a big 1921 crop would have ex- | hausted were left in the soil to fatten | the kernels and strengthen the stalks | of this summers grain.
 | The areas sown this year perhaps
 were less than last in many provinces, hut Ina jtCa iG hat O yield is expected to be more than three and a half billion poods of grain for all Russia, a billion more than last year. GA pood is 36 pounds).
 If the surplus of fruitful regions
 can be transported to the cities and the peasants do not hoard it, Russian = officials express the conviction that
 famine will be practically dead and that after October full stomachs will succeed hunger for most of Russia's , population.

Twas Never Thus
 In Grandmother S
 Day! Oh, My, No!

The old, old story of how the wo- man wore the trousers was told when such a suggestion seemed vulgar, but if grandmothe could return today and ride through the parks or roads of the countryside, she would see that the old saying used in years gone by figuratiVely, has become a reality.
 Yes, women have finally after many years of righteous indignation, obtain ed the equal right of the male of the species so that they may have a say as to who their president, governor and mayor shall be. But that's not all; they have also reached that state of existence which places them on equal footing with man as to their apparel.
 A trip to any of the golf links will disclose that many of the women players have the right to wear knick- CTS with decorum. It is far more com fortahle, as one woman has said and by far more clean to wear knickers than having ones dress drag upon the ground whenever teeing the ball. Then, too, if one has knocked the ball into the rough where a heavy under growth of briars is growing a dress gets soi1ed quickly.
 There is no question that the women should wear knickers while playing | golf, or any other sport that gives the
 same privilege to man, but as we said before-if grandmother could | only return-oh my.

Washington, Aug. 4-The postoffice Department has disclaimed all respon- sibility for the permanency of mar riages effected through matrimonial advertisements in newspapers and through mail courtship.
 Solicitor Edwards of the legal divi- sion of the Postoffice Department is daily besieged with letters from de- serted brides, distraught and franic in their short-lived marriages. asking for governmental assistance in 1ocat- ing runaway husband and pleading for aid in prosecuting them. In some instances these wives blame the pos tai service for their marital woes, de- manding redress and insisting that as

come familiar with some of its mani festations and methods employed to study it. said Dr. Larsen today.
 "The earliest account of the case of deception is in the Bible, where Sol omon was called upon to decide which of two women claiming child was lying. He settled the problem by or dering the child cut in two pieces. real mother was willing to forego her claim. The Chinese made use of a sound psycho- physiological principle that fear may fnhibit the salivary flow The English had the system of "the ordeal" Gong further the modern method of the third degree" is en- countered.
 Aside from humanitarian consid- erations, one important objection to the third degee'' is that cases have been known where innocent men have broken under the strain and confess ed to crimes of which they were in nocent.
 Test Is Explained.
 ''The deception test we use is based upon the correlation between the phy- Siological and emotional activities. A normal record is obtained without any stimulus, word or action This is fol lowed by a short predatory word pre- amble, while tracings are being re- corded, after which a series of ques- tions are given. The questions are very simple and direct and deal with indifferent matters well as the sub- ject under investigation.
 ''In every case of deception, as checked by the cardio-pneumograph tracings and confession, there are marked changes in the records. The effect of the suppression or repres- sion varies according to the tempera- ment and physical character of the subject. There may be an increase or decrease in frequency, a marked | depression or eXcitation or more or | less summative effect.
 | ''In all cases of deception yet en- countered the curve differs from tha | of the controls or the person who | does not repress when questioned.

Berk1ey, Cal, Aug. - What will the invention of the lie detector" mean to criminal investigation?
 This question was asked by 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. Larsen, one of Vollmer's super cops, who is a university graduate and a scientist.
 ''It will eliminate conviction of the innocent and insure the conviction of the guilty said Chief Vollmer. "It will put an end to spurious wills and eliminate the long and costly le- gal contests which ensue in such cases "It will assist in putting to an end forgery of documents and materially
 aid in settling civil cases in which deception figures

Interesting records have been ob- tained with drug addicts. The tran sition from the very sick, moaning, miserable individual to the cheerful comparing the record of the same man before and after an injection of morphine or other drug. This tran sition may occur within a few sec- onds.''
 The 'lie detector'' is in use daily in the Berkeley Police Department. The consent of the subject is always obtained. In most cases it is given readily.
 Guilty Fear Machine.
 The innocent are glad of an op- portunity of clearing themselves. The guilty fear refusal. Its use runs the gamut of criminal investigation as- cending the scale from the juvenile murder. Only recently it was the means of reuniting an estranged fath- CT and son, clearing the latter's name of forgery.
 Dr. Larsen believes the day will come when the cardio-pneumo psy- chograms, as the cabilistfc strips of tracings are known, will take their place as evidence in courts of justice. To his mind the important thing is that they form a 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. Re- gently a noted crimino1ogist from Co., penhagen visited the laboratory of Dr. Larsen to see the machine and indi cated that upon his return home he l will put into use a similar device. He arranged with Dr. Larsen for the ex- change of records so that the stan | dardization of psych ograms might be hastened. Outside police departments i have called upon Dr. Larsen to make | tests in important murder cases. Il was demonstrated at a recent inter. national convention of police chiefs and was the subject of much interest c diScUSSinn

PEACE SOON IN
 IRELAND SAYS
 LORD SHAW
English Policy Far Behind Erin, But England Now Sees Light, He Says.

New York, Aug. 5-Ireland is on the way to peace, according to Lord Thomas Shaw, of Dunfermline. Scot land, Lord of Appeals in Ordinary, who came to America to attend the convention of the American Bar As siciation at San Francisco.
 English policy today is 30 or 40 Shaw asserted, but now England has come to the point and Ireland is on the way to peace"
 End of Trouble Seen
 Lord Shaw said:
 There will be two parties to the end of time in any democraticaliy no common enemy against whom Irishmen will unite. They will settle their quarrels in their own way. They will have the privilege of differing and disputing, and they will come and come very quickly to constitution al methods and arrangements far more quickly than almost any man in this room excepting myself believes.
 q have had experience recently of the genius of Ireland. I have come in contact with her public men; and although I spoke it in London, as speak it now in New York, I wish to has really reached the trough of the waves, and that every movement of the waters, however troubled, will be but to lift it again to the crest.
 fa1ence Reou1red
 '-I wish to declare to you here that I think there is need both in Britain and America for great patience with Ireland at this moment She is start ing a new order of government. It is altogether contrary not only to his tory but to human nature to expect the right maturity of judgment from infant, which has just been born. It must have it's spaSms of what would appear to be excitement without any good reason, sensitiveness and sensi- bility to small things, which perhaps a riper judgment of mature years would dispel.
 England Sees Light
 Therefore, my first word to you about Ireland is-do not be too much disturbed by rumors about affairs in Ireland. Ireland is on the way to peace.
 Speaking now as an old politician T was a supporter 80 years ago on many platforms in the United King dom of MT. Gladstone's policy-the curse of Ireland has been that Eng years behind, but now England has come to the point, and England has said to Ireland: Now we admit that the time has arrived when the respon- sibility for that complexity of affairs which Ireland possesses, and for the unravelling and solution of these problems which everlasting crop up there-the responsibility must rest upon Ire1and's own shoulders. Therefore the era of two parties in Ireland, consolidating always against England imposing it's will upon Ire- land-that is at an end"

WHAT CEMENT IS DOING TO REDUCE
 HAZARDS OF FIRE

Fire losses in the United States in 1921 were more than half a billion dollars

 Losses from fire in the United States average s3 per capita per year. France has per capita loss of 4s cents; Great Britain, 53 cents; Ger many, 2S cents. and Holland, II cents. During the past fourteen-year per- iod our fire losses were 2S.1 per cent. of the value of new building construc- uon- In 1920, although an abnor- nal amount of building was done, the fire losses were 23.5 per cent of the value of new buildings. Startling as these losses are they do not tell the whole story They represent only the actual insurance adjustments made. They do not l take into account losses due to the | ed for more than 80 per cent. of their full value, nor do they include | losses not covered by insurance The insurance adjustments made proba- | bly, do not exceed 70 per cent. of l actual fire losses, including both in sured and uninsured. The surest safeguard against loss | by fire is a building so constructed | it cannot burn.
 Reinforced concrete represents the highest type of f1re-resistive cof = struction. Concretet is practically maintenance free. Concrete grows | stronger as it grows older.
