DOCTORS ARE READY
 TO COMBAT CRIMINALS WITH "TRUTH" SERUM
Claim New AnaesthetiC Makes Washingtons Out
 Of Worst Liars
IT'D DhNCJCCn

SAN FRANCISCO. June D. Where courts of law, clever attor- neys. penitentiaries and prisons have failed to check the ever-growing in crease in crime, medical science has stepped in to make the world unsafe for crooks to live in.
 This was the assertion of Dr. R. E.. House, Ferris, Texas, which afforded thrill to the opening session of the American Medical association conven- tion here Monday.
 By a new anaesthetic ministered to the suspected criminal he loses the power to tell a lie, Dr. House says. He must tell the truth, for the anaesthetic, for the time being, makes that part of the brain in- active which would urge caution and lying. The man tells the truth in spite of himself.
 The truth serum called scopo- lamin, has no after effects and serves its purpose equally well in freeing a man wrongly convicted of crime and in convicting a man who pleads innocence when guilty. The truth simply will out. according to Dr House.
 An absolute revolution in criminal procedure was predicted by Dr. House. who said that criminals would be robbed of their ancient defense perjury on the witness stand-if given scopolamin. pr. House has tested his serum on number of men in Texas, men who were in- structed to answer untruthfully questions put by them. They were given the serum and then told the truth.

bROWER TALKS OF THREE BIG ISSUES FACING ALABAMA
Senator Pledges Self To Fight Lease System And
 Power Monopoly

The convict lease system, the water power question and the req enue code are three important is sues to come up before the Alabama legislature this summer, and whicht were touched on by Senator Walter S. Brewer Monday afternoon when he addressed members of the Birming- ham Axis club at their regular monthly meeting in the ball room Of the Tutwiler hotel.
 "The only idea in favoring the con- vict lease system Is for the revenue derived from that source," Senator Brewer stated. T am not senti- mentalist as far as convicts are con cerned, and l have prosecuted crim- inals for a number of years. How ever, in my opinion the purpose In punishing criminals is to make ex- amples of them for the benefit of others. If they are placed upon the state highways where they can be seen, the desired effect will be &C., complished."
 Speaking on the water power question in Alabama, Senator Brow CT stated the water power should be developed by the state for the benefit of 99 per cent of her citi- zens, explaining that such develop ment would mean more revenue for larger and better schools benefiting the present generations and gen. erations to come.
 Much work and earnest debate will be necessary. he said, in disposing of the revenue code, an issue before the coming legislature. The senator. in conclusion, told how he was being criticised all over Alabama for principles he thought were right, but stated he would continue his fight regardless of animosity on the part of the press.
 Constitution Amended.
 Mrs. Erie Pettus presided and Mrs. Neil Wallace, presented the amended constitution and bylaws, as recom- mended by Mrs. Angus Taylor, for mer president. The club adopted them as amended. A new office was created, that of parliamentarian, to be elected later.
 Mrs. Lloyd Josselyn. chairman of the committee to investigate the con- vict lease system, reported favora- bly, on plans for the fight.
 Following reports of standing committees several new members were announced by Mrs. Palmer Daugette. Announcement was made that the July 4 pageant would not be given.
 Mrs. Frank Spain, member of so- cial welfare committee, of which Mrs. Colman Blach, Is chairman, re- ported plans for clean-up week, had been perfected and urged co-opera- tion of every club member.
