sor John Larson has invented truth machine" which,
it is claimed. registers human emotion and photographs
OF its records show smooth. regular calm line for Mrs
o. W. Wilson's kiss and jagged jumpy line for Mr.
O. W. Wilson's kiss, when the two osculang before
the machine Mrs took things easy and Mr. just gushed
Hence, is the more emotional
OF course the demonstration isn't convincing. In the
Photographic effect Give the emotional lines of

events and who's who.
Nor do we see what practical use they're going to
make of Professor Larsons machine Therefl be no

BASEBALL PLANS
FOR 1924 PLEASE
FANS AND H0uSER

Ben Houser, 'the old fox" who has
managed the Augusta Millionaires
Tor several years was present for the
MIS- 1me at meeting of the Angus
la Baseball Asso ciation at the Cham
eor or Commerce rooms, Tuesday
evening and was greatdly pleased
with the progress which has already
been made toward arranging for a
line team next summer.
ben talked informally to the good
~ crowd of baseball fans at the
smoke and told them of the players
That he couldSget this year. He said
that there would be no trouble in
getting together an aggregation fully
as fast as that of last year, but that
he was waiting for q time. to see
what action would be taken on the
matter of forming a state league.
WORD has been received in this
city from Bar Harbor that they are
deslrous of forming a state league
with certain regulations concerning
salaries. Ben is strongly in favor of
SUCH league. In this he was back
ed by the sentiment of the meeting.
The members of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce were the guests of the
Augusta Baseball Association at this
meeting. which was held in, the
Chamber of Commerce assembly
hall. There was much enthusiasm
displayed at this meeting and the
announcement that the half way
mark has been reached and that a
good start has been made on the
last hundred shares in the Associa-
ton was received with satisfaction

but which has been used with great
success in the Washington-I Irving
High school of New York City, has
recently been adopted at Cony High
school and is expected to be OF great
value to both students and pupils.
BY this plan student who is
down in his rank is asked to sign
card, stating why he is down. what
afternoon if any of each week he
will return for study and finally his
signing of the card imposes upon
him the obligation to arrange an in
terview between the teacher and the
parent If the rank is not improved
shortly. This places the RESPONSE
bility of bringing the teacher and
the parent together, upon the stu
dent himself and not upon the teach
er. BY thus doing. the teacher, par
ent and student get together and
talk the matter over in a friendly
spirit and arrive at some conclusion
as to the best course to pursue. 1t
is planned by Principal Perkins and
the faculty to carry out as far as
possible the policy of not giving q
failure in subject to any pupil
without first having an interview
with the parent. This plan relieves
any possibility of hard feelings upon
the part of the student which might
be caused if the teacher were to
interview the parent without eSn-
sulttlg the student.

Quet and in addition, there are to be
two fine speakers, Rev. Henry Dun
mack, State Librarian, and Arthur
heald OF Waterville, assistant state

something really worth while to say:
The drive is to be under the direc-
ton of General George E. Macom-
Der. The two sides under the i'm
mediate supervision of Col" Blaine
owen and Col" Milton S. Dean.
Col" Dean will have as his aide,
