drunkenness, including the exact de-
gree of such drunkenness. is so unerr-
ing, according TO those who watched
numerous tests. that it may shortly
become the accepted adjunct of court
procedure in cases involving alleged
intoxication.
Briefly. DIR. Ginsberg has taken the
reaction of the human body 10 alco-
holic stimulants as the basis of inves-
tigation and has perfected way OF
measuring accurately those reactions.
1t is a well-established medical fact
that alcohol induces excessive bodily
heat. the more drinks the more heat.
Also as the body heat increases hui
mans demand more oxygen. In fact
medical records chronicle the fact that
Il man alphabetically overloaded
breathes almost three times as much
air as when sober.
The metahular simply measures the
amount of oxygen breathed by alco-
holic suspects when supposedly drunk.
Later. his normal oxygen capacity is
measured. The difference between nos
NAL and when in alcoholic stress de-
notes the degree of intoxication. The
police here already are planning to
use D.. Ginsberg's device on testing
the sobriety of autoists arrested fol-

HUSBANDS FRIEND

Probably one of the hardest tasks that confrOnts the newly married wom- an is that of adapting herself to her husbands friends. It does not always follow, in fact, it rarely follows, that because one has fallen in love with a man, one must also fall into friend ship with his old schOolmates, his col lege pals, his golfing companions and his business associates. Half these men either bore her or offend her taste. They may be good fellows to him, but they are sad failures as far as she Is concerned.
 Yet it is a very unwise woman who throws cold water on her husband friendships and makes his old chums feel awkward and unwelcome in her house. Perhaps he feels the very same way about his wifes girl friends He may wonder how in the world she can endure such plain, uninteresting. silly chatterers, even while she is marveling at his fondness for the loud, gauche back -slappers who haunt her pretty new home. Each forgets that such friendships are the result of pro pinquity, of past good times together, of early acquaintance Loyalty kept up, says the Kansas City Star. The bride sees, her friends in the light of their first condolences. their parties and dances. The bridegroom views his one time pals through haze of college pranks, hunting expeditions and nOon- day luncheons.

Somber Colors In New Shoes Are
 In Evidence

Alligator, tanbark, Airedale, plati- num--no, it's not an announcement { from the zoo nor the opening line of d piece of vers loire. but just to let the women in on a secret-these are the newest shades in spting footwear .c- forecasting foot fashions for the com ing season, says the Detroit News.
 While the names of these colors fall startlingly upon the ear they are much easier on the eye. According to the shoe dealers, the brilliant colors of the past season, the flaming red slippers the blue bootees and the green gaitprs are out and next spring the feet of the women who are a Ia mode will be clad In coverings of more somber hues.
 The feet that will' be put foremost will be hidden in shoes of suede, they declare, in varying tones of color. Aire- dale (the newest shade for wOman's dogs). a mixture of gray and tan, will lead the list; tanbark will run close Decond, and platinum, delicate min eling of various grays, will also be fea- tured.
 As for the architecture of the shoes. fhey will follow the present popular pattern, that of allowing as much air as, possible to reach the foot by the means of delicately patterned holes cut in the leather. built somewhat on the plan of doughnut. Sandals will be in great demand and especially new model called the Hollywood sandal ives, sandal, not scandaD. These san dals will be of the strap variety the shoe prophets say. and will only be more popular than more staid sister tn footwear, the puritan pump, designed on the colonial lines.

FAMOUS HERESIES

1 The crime committed against the doe Urine of the church for which Nestorius was communicated and anathema. tixed as heretic was that denied the union of two natures in the one per son of Christ, holding that He possessed two distinct personalities. the union of which was merely mortal. NestOrius was Patriarch of Constantinople in the first half of the fifth century. which placed him at the head of the Eastern church.

Alter. ward that faith spread into India and China where, in the latter century: II gradually merged into Mohammedanisni and Buddhism.
 Nestorianism is one of the few sO- called heresies of ancient times that still survives. Although mathematical by the early church, 1t is Christian sect today, active. though compafa- lively few Tn nunlDefS anu suoJcct to all manner of prosecutions at the hands Of the Moslems. in whose stronghold the sect flSurishes The seat of ecclesi- astical government of this llttle-known branch of Christianity is at the minia- ture village of Quchanis in the kurdis- ian Mountains. Driven from place to place in Persia and Media as the perse- cution of its neighbors became unbear- able the principal stronghold is now in the district about Lake Van-partly under Turkish and partly under Per sian rule--persecuted by both.
