South America. particularly Brazil,

studies made by Charles L. Dana
of New York of the handwriting in
nervous diseases. For fifteen years
he made patients suffering from
such nervous diseases as paralysis
agitans, or shaking palsy; writer's
cramp. chronic alcoholism, general
paralysis, locomotor ataXia. epilep-

forms Of tremor, write their sigma

shaky and uneven.

amined in all several hundred sig

diseases. He concluded from his
study that there are few nervous
diseases or conditions that can be

Quoted by reputable physicians who
are entirely familiar with the law
concerning the giving Of contra
ceptive information. Charitable and
religious organizations have sent
patients.
Dr.. c. c. Little. the former presi-
dent Of Michigan university, is on
the advisory board Well-knoWn
doctors ard scientists from all over
the world have investigated the
scope ard methods Of the clinic.
The court of appeals has given
a very clear ruling in the matter
of the dissemination Of birth control
data. A duly licensed physician may
give advice to a married patient if
in his judgment this advice is nee
essary to keep her from sickness.
I think the law ought to be
broader thar that. It seems to me
that the economic factor deserves
consideration. Poverty and want
and worry all should be classified
among the major maladies
However, the doctors at the clinic
have not allowed themselves any
such liberal construction I think
eventually the law should make it
possible to give information to peo-
pie who are not married.

However. I am very much afraid
the doctors Of New York may rot
make any united protest against The
rev Whalen system of turning over
case histories to the Anna McNam-
aras and the Hogans and allowing
them to act as consultants.
Not so long ago congress said in
effect that all physicians were crooks
and not to be trusted. Congress IN
dertook to say just how much al
cohol doctor could prescribe for
a sick patient.
Some patients are not willing 10
give any doctor complete authority.
It should be the right OF the in
dividual to die, or to get well for
that matter, without benefit OF
medicine.
But surely it is more reasonable
to put the issue of life and death
into the hands of doctors and not
under the jurisdiction of the Nc

lice department and the district

Law VS.. Reason

Some four centuries ago, in Bordeaux, young
magistrate named Montague came into high court
Of France to find judges sentencing death prisoner
who just had been proved guitIess by the confession
of the real criminal Outraged Montague cried out
against the procedure that placed the dignity of the
law above reason and justice. The judges halted his
TRADE and sentenced the defendant to the guillotine
They had pronounced him guilty; hence he must be
guilty
Out in California today the same carcature on JUS
tice has puzzled and outraged Superior Judge Franklin
Griffin. the man who sentenced Tom Mooney to death
in 1917 When the Oman perjury exposures revealed
the Mooney frame-up Judge Griffin started out to
right the wrong to which he had been innocent
party.
He asked the attorney general to have the supreme
court send the case back to his court SO that Mooney
could be tried again. Although both the judge and the
states attorney asked it, the supreme court ruled
that the time having elapsed for filing writs of error
nothing could be done.
Griffin appealed then to Governor Stephens for a
new trial but Stephens declined to act When Cover
nor Richardson succeeded Stephens, Griffin made an
even stronger appeal, this time for pardon. Now
Governor Young is in power and Griffin leads those
seeking MONEYS pardon.
AS in the days of Montague law obscures justice
reason and mercy Indeed the wheels of law seem to
be deeper in the rus of formality in California than
they we're in France in the Sixteenth century, for in
California Judge is vainly asking reason from law.

barometer does not make of column of mercury
Instead, there is little metal box inside the case
Most OF tie air has been pumped out of this box The
pressure of the atmosphere the sides of the
little box to be pushed in by amounts in proportion to
the pressure.
The pointer is connected by series of le ers to the
outside of the little box. AS result. a slight
ment of the sides of the box is registered a
siderable movement OF the pointer across the dial
There is extra pointer the barometer which
be set at any point the scale by moving little
knob.
This extra pointer is very convenient in using the
barometer For in forecasting weather with a barom
eter it is necessary know whether the barometer is
falling or rising.
Suppose you read the barometer at a m. and
find that it registers pressure Of 29.5 inches
BY means of the small knob it then is possible to
set the extra pointer at this same reading.
You can tell at glance, therefore, at any later
hour whether the barometer is rising or falling.
AS rule the scale Of the barometer is divided into
four sections with the words Fair "Changeable,'
Rainy and stormy But the of the barometer
is not as simple as that The fact that the pointer
happens to be in of these sections does not ndi
cate that weather of corresponding nature can be
expected
single reading of the barometer tells very little
abo''t future weather
1t is necessary to have two readings which estab-
lish whether the barometer is falling rising, in
other words whether low pressure or high
pressure area Is moving in.

Up to Business Man

FREDERIC R. COUDERT, ad-
Il dressing the British Empire
Chamber Of Commerce in New York
on Wednesday, said that the prob
lem of stopping war was in the
hands of business men.
That is not exactly true, much as
business men might want to stop it,
because Of their realization Of the
poor investment it represents.
The problem of stopping war goes
back to the problem of teaching
history, of creating in the minds of
young people an appreciation of
those forces responsible for human
progress.
For thousands of years. the chill
dren of every land have been taught
that armed strength not only Great
ed it, but was essential to maintain
it.
The impression has been de-
veloped in generation after genera
ton that weapons. instead of i'm
plements of industry, were to be
credited with the liberty they en-
joyed, and they have been taught
that liberty consisted of political
rights, rather than economic op-
portunitieS.
Until such impression is corrected,
war and preparedness for war will
hold their places in the sun,
