WOULD BAN ALL
 SERUM EVIDENCE
Injunction Against Use O1 Scopolamine Testimony Is
 Asked By Attorney

Use of scopolamine, or truth serum in obtaining confessions of guilt and other evidence against prisoner was attacked from ., new quarter Friday afternoon, when, Judge Horace Wilkin. son, attorney for Ernest Harris, negro charged with the murder of Mrs. Eliz- abeth Romeo and Mrs. Juliet vigilant filed an informal petition for an in. junction to prevent Solicitor Jim Davii from using any evidence gained from the use of seopolamine against his client. Nt st,,
 The petition was addressed to Judge W. M. Walker of the chancery court junction on the ground that it was Q case for the, criminal, court and there. fore outside the Jurisdiction of judge presiding only in chancery court. In declining to grant the petition, Judge Walker did not discuss the merits oi the case and made it plain that his re. fusal was based only on lack of juris diction.
 It is understood that the injunction asked for would prevent use of all evi' dence. either direct or indirect, that Solicitor Davis may have been able to obtain through use of the serum. Court officials pointed out that the petition if granted, would exclude use by she solicitor of all testimony of witnesses who have been, located through state. ments alleged to have been made by Harris while under the influence of the drug and all other evidence which might have been gathered with the aid of scopolamine.
 to say what his next step would be, ii is thought the application for an in. junction will be renewed before the su- preme court of Alabama. Trial of Harris has not yet been set on the court docket, and it probably will be several weeks before it is reached. In the meantime, Judge Wilkinson announced that he would take whatever steps he can to prevent Solicitor Davis from using scopolamine in efforts to obtain convictions in alleged ax murder cases.

REALISTIC FLOWERS IN GLASS Workers Initiate Nature Even In Color
 Of Product

Marvellous artificial blooms that re- semble Natures finest specimens in every respect except scent, are now be- ing made by expert glassblowers, says Answers, Tendon.
 Every part of a flower or plant is faithfully reproduced, from the long, delicate stems and colored petals to the almost invisible pollen.
 The first thing which the maker of these wonderful blooms does is to blow the petals from glass as thin and fragile as tissue paper. The glass petals are then shaped and colore dexactly like the natural ones.
 Some of the rarer plants cannot be easily reproduced, and often several ex- periments have to be carried out with different colors before really good inn itation is obtained.
 These glass flowers are used exten- sively in museums, both to show details of plant or flower formation and as backgrounds for displaying specimens of birds and insects,
