Estimating Apple Crops.

TT seems that if you really know your stuff
it is possible to 'count your chickens be-
fore they hatch" at least so far as the apple
industry goes.
The foreign markets seem to like smaller
sized apples than the home trade and contracts
for delivery specify that the apples must be no
larger than a standard maximum. Experts In
the Hood River section of oregon, from which
a large percentage of the apples shipped abroad
come are now able to tell In August just about
how many bushels of apples will mature IN the
desired sizes and how many will be large.
This information is vital, because the con.
tracts are made on this estimate, and any mis-
takes that might require the shipper to go out
into the market to make good shortage In
his own crop might prove financially disas-
trouS.
A study has been made of the crop produc-

police is to uncover the facts. Whether they
are good or bad all the evidence should be pre-
sented The attorneys for the State and the
defense will give the facts all the Interpretation
they require.
"You saw the sequence showing a stand-up
of criminals at police headquarters. That scene
is enacted every day in all the bigger police
departments throughout America. The detec-
tive force is given an opportunity to see and
hear every man under arrest for the more seri-
Gus crimes, and the detectives are expected to
impress these faces and features upon their
memory
1.-THE talking movie makes visual and vocal
record of every aspect of such prisoners as are
deemed important. The films Of individuals
may be filed and indexed, and when there is a
manhunt under way the detectives can be mobi-

over for their benefit

ance of an attorney, the man on trial has repu-
dated his confession and declared that his
signature was obtained only through the use OF
the third degree AS a matter Of fact, there Is
no third degree in Philadelphia.
.'Of course, there is nothing to prevent the
third degree being used in advance of movie
tone confession, but, since the hatred of the
police and cringing and fear would show In the
mans face and actions and be reflected in his
voice, it is my prediction that the use of this
method of recording confessions will tend to
eliminate the use of the third degree even IL
those police departments where it is still en-
ployed
Inspector Connolly has remarkable record
of obtaining confessions without reSorting to
any inhuman or unlawful method Of interroga-

his story.

should give them better clue to the people for
whom they are searching and lead to quicker
Identification of the criminal.
ct foresee another very important aspect OF
this development in the filming of trials when
either the prosecution or defense feels that an
appeal to a higher court may be necessary.
"a judge may say to a jury, Gentlemen, you
have heard the evidence of both sides. Do you
believe the story of the defendant or do you
believe the stories told by the witnesses for the
State?
ION the face of the record the cold type shows
no prejudice whatever, but a movietcne record
of the judges words would record the emphasis
and tone of his voice and bring out any attempt
to influence the jury against or in favor of one
side or the other.
GA MovIEToNE rogues' gallery may be used
by the cooperating police departments
throughout the Nation to exchange prints OF
the movietone portraits of notorious or escaped
criminals in addition to the snapshots now in
use, so that the visual and vocal photographs OF
dangerGIs men will be available to manhunterS
all over the United States.
1.-THE talking movie will not dSplace present
statistical and Photographic work of police de-
partments, but it will be an invaluable accessory.
Ffngerprints will still be used for comparison
and Identification, and the combined accuracy
of fngerprints and talking film will create net
frcm which the criminal will find it increasingly
difficult to escape.
'The men in all divisions of the department
here are enthusiastic about this development.
They want real chance to try out the talking
movie, both for purposes Of Identification and
conviction.
MANY of those who witnessed the screening
of the two confessions have told me that in both
cases-that of Peters, who killed his sweetheart,
and the milkman who said he stole to help his
poor family and paralytic child-the telling or
the story in this way is certain to cause SYM
pathy for the defendant If shown in court.
'I think there are many ways in which the
use of talking movies will be useful to the weak
and unfortunate men we are forced to arrest.
But, as police department, we are interested
solely in the facts and the man on trial is en-
titled to presentation Of all the facts.
1.-The public is greatly interested in more
efficient police work against crime, and urge
the Inauguration of the movietone everywhere
as a scientific development which will aid in the
detection and conviction Of criminals"

Every one hearing and seeing the confession
held his breath sharply at the point Inspector
Connolly had tried to make Peters admit pre-
meditation. But the boy avoided it with no sug-
gestion of guile adrotness. It was certain
that if this film was introduced in court as
evidence of confession the slumped, wistful
figure telling of the dire end of his romance
would evoke mitigating sympathy. 1t reflected

Travelling and Wandering.

Why does anybody leave home? What
Is this call of the distant and the foreign
and the novel? It's the quest for new
experience, quite the same thing that
starts the infant on its voyage of eX-
ploration as soon as it can toddle or
even creep. A new environment is a
new achievement. Alexander signing
for new worlds to conquer and the mod
ern globe trotter are psychological
brothers. The familiar grows stale, a
change will do us good.
If the urge is strong enough we travel
but we return. We have a home to
come back to, local habitation and a
name on a doorplate. If We don't. then
we are on the way to being wanderers,
homeless, eXiles; or, lacking a homing
sense, and, completely at the mercy of
the wandering urge, we may sooner or
later join the army of tramps and
gypsieS of high or low degree, even down
to the condition of hoboes and Migrants.
The difference between traveller and
O wanderer, though on the surface a
social one, with the traveller paying his
way from ample purse and the tramp
stealing 6 ride or finding bed where
he can, is at bottom a psychological
one. A traveller travels with purpose
it may be special or a general aim.
He is bent on enlarging his experience;
1t may be as student of art, COM
merce, political relations or just an
interested observer of new peoples and
their ways of life. The tramp wanders
more or less aimleSsly.
Yet the two motives overlap. The adj
venturer of old was a little of BOTH so
were the followers of the Wanderjahre,
the youthful years when the zest for
new experience runs high. Doubtless
today there are many who in motive are
trampS, gratifying that desire in hotels
for f1rst-class travellers and some who
take to the road unattached do SO in
the spirit Of travel.
Common to the two is an underlying
restlessness which in turn may take on
a more definite motive, making the
journeying flight, an escape. You may
be running away; there is not only the
youthful impulsive running away from
home, but in other situations an escape
from responsibilities, even a running
away from yourself.
In such a case there may be an ap-
proach to the abnormal.
There is type of vagrant who is,

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Encouraging Our Leaders.


Text Joshua the son of Nun, which
stndeth before thee. he shall go in
thither; encourage him. ''-Deut., i.38.
Joshua was shortly to succeed Moses
as the leader of Israel. It would fall to
his lot to lead the people into the prom
Used land and in the conquest Thereon.
It was a heavy responsibility he was
about to assume. And Moses, delivering
his farewell address to the people, is
here urging them to stand by their new
leader, to give him their loyal support
and encourage him.
This is a word much needed by many
in our day. There is too much OF
disposition today to find fault with and
criticize our leaders, whether they be
leaders in business, in state affairs or
in the church. These leaders may often
deserve criticism, and there may De
times when it is necessary to criticize
them. But in the majority of instances,
a word Of encouragement would 90
more good and serve better purpose.
Many of our leaders and public Serv-
ants carry heavy loads. The sense of
responsibility weighs upon them more
heavily than many of us imagine. Often
they labor under difficulties, limitations
and restrictions of which we are not
aware. Consider what it must mean
to one placed in such a position to
have the people around him forever
knocking and berating him.
Encourage him" The mayor of
your city. The governor of your State.
Your representative in the National
Congress- The pastor of your church
The leader in the plant where you work
ANY leader with whom you have any
connection, and whom you would be
disposed to criticize for any shortcom-
ings. Try encouraging him instead OF
criticizing him. Be sure he needs, and
will appreciate, your encouragement.

Active tuberculosis.

"In the first stages of tuberculosis,
where there is temperature but the
sputum is negative, is it necessary to
scald the patients dishes? And what
about the bed clothing and personal
laundry? I want to know about this so
as to safeguard the health of the rest
of the family. A."
Yes, all precautions should be taken
against injecting the rest of the family,
where there is active tuberculosis, A.
While one examination of the sputum
might not disclose tuberculosis bacilli,
the next specimen might have 1t.
All the patients clothing, including
the bed clothes, should be boiled OF
steamed, separate from the rest Of the
family's laundry, and handled as little
as possible when dry.
tuberculosis can be successfully
treated in the home, but it has to be
done by methods similar to those used
in the sanitarium, and the caretaker
must know those methods. If she
doesn't; she should, If possible, visit a
sanitarium, or go to the health depart
