SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.--Ts
your liver affected2 Do you suffer
from heart trouble7 Drop q nickle

: This is the promise held out by
DIR. Albert Abrams of San Francis
go, who pioneered the use of radio
activity and the radio in the dag
'nosis Of disease. His methods have
been a storm center which has rent
the medical world.
, Dr. Abrams has developed super
radio set, attached to what he calls
reflexophone which he claims
catches from the air the vibrations
Of disease and records them for
what they are by means of delicate
tuning methods.
In DR.. Abrams clinic the writer
saw the machine demonstrated. Its
performance was bewilderingly ac-
curate.
Flowers Feel Pain
1t recorded the pain which, DIR.
Abrams believes, flower feels
when it is torn; it segregated q true
from q false answer to a question; !;
and it recorded psychological re-
actions.
On table were arranged the neat
boxes Of the reflexophone with their
dialed covers. Wires connected the
reflexophoae to tiny instruments
arranged on a board, whereon three
lighted bulbs glowed warmly and
from which rose the Magnavox
horn, familiar to the radio fan.
l. This snper-radio was equipped
with an antennae--a delicate and
innocent looking rod, attached to
the set by black cord.
"Plants broadcast waves Of radio
activity DR.. Abrams continued.
t'LooR!''
Setting the rod upright he tore a
nasturtium leaf. The horn squawked.
He cut the leaf. No sound from the
horn. Tearing hurt the leaf; cut
ting is painless, DR.. Abrams ex-
planned. Surgeons should use
sharp knives. Always cut flowers
when you gather them. Don't break
them. It's too painful to them.''
Puts Plant to Sleep
Another leaf was held over the
mouth Of chloroform bottle.
"Now the plant is asleep" the
doctor observed, and then tore the

Up at Shelby

GREAT FALLS, Mont, May 81.
Authentic reports reached here
today of an immense gas well,
which came in late yesterday near
Shelby, Mont, close to the Canadi-

The well is reported to be produc-
ing 50,0oo,000 cubic feet of gas
daily, which makes it one Of the
largest in existence, it was report
ed.
When the drill went through and
struck the gas pocket, the tools
were hurled from the hole and
blown overthe top Of the derrick.

leaf as he had done before. The
horn made no sound-for the leaf
had felt ne pain.
Have you ever lied?' DIR.
Abrams suddenly demanded, turning
to q physician-student and at the
same time holding his antennae
rod near the forehead (the truth

No." came the prompt response,
and the horn squawked derisively.
All, ha,' laughed DR.. Abrams.
"This machine says you fibcd then.
Don t try to fool the radio.'
"Think of something musical, -
DIR. Abrams told another student at
the same time holding the rod just
back of the mans left ear-the
musical center of the brain. The
horn emitted a squawk.
" Now think of everything else
but something musical,' tue doctor
commanded. The horn was silent.
Records Musical Thought
"Quick, think of n piano"
Awk,o grunted the horn.
Now them DR.. Abrams said,
addressing the writer. "Will some
thing"
No sound came from the horn un-
til the writer commanded mentally:
"Lower your hand Doe. -" B-zurk -
honked the horn.
No one in the room could have
known the moment when the writer
issued the mental command yet the
horn instantly recorded it the mo-
ment it was given.
This is the machine which DIR.
Abrams declares some day will be
perfected to the point where it will
stand on the streets and in stores
and railroad stations so that those
who care to do so may drop in a
coin and ascertain what ails them.

PARIS, August 7-Premier Poin- care in a recent note to London in- formed the British government that France could not negotiate with Ger many until passive resistance in the Ruhr was ended and that evacuation could not be considered until final agreement was reached and repara- tions payments made or assured The substance of the note was made pub lie last night after the premier had press accounts of the British prime minister's statements in which Great Britains proposals were discussed.
 The French note raised the question of what might be gained by once more appraising Germany's capacity to pay the estimation of the Reich stag's capacity to pay the note The premier expressed a wish that the American unofficial member of the commission could take a more active part in it's deliberations.

STRIKING PARALLEL IN
 COLLAPSE OF HARDING
 AND WOODROW WILSON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-There was striking parallel between the cir cumstances which led to President Harding's illness and death and those which preceded the collapse of Presi- dent Wilson during his western trip in 1919. Wilson had left Washington with the avowed purpose of carrying the gospel of peace to the people. In this case Harding went westward to explain to the people the conception of world peace as hanging upon Amer ican participation in World Court.
 When Wilson cancelled the remain der of his trip at Wichita, Kansas, he had travelled 8,2O0 miles in the heat of late summer, delivering more than forty speeches. When Harding surrendered to the order of physi- clans he had travelled 7,5OO miles and made upward of sixty speeches.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Great Britain and France are drifting farther apart each day in their attitude over the occupation of the Ruhr, and only ab- solute evacuation of the Ruhr district by the French will appease Britain.
 This is the conclusion drawn by the remarks of Prime Minister Bald win and Foreign Secretary Curzon before the Houses of Parliament.
 Ministers revealed that the latest communication from France and Bel gium furnished no material for an Al lied answer to the German repara tions proposals and they brought to light a surprising situation between the two nations.
